Apple 2TB Time Capsule Setup & Review

This time I review one of my favorite new devices, my 2TB Apple Time Capsule that I purchased with my Christmas money! I have been using it for around a month now and have had nothing but great luck with. To date, it has been the best router that I have ever had and the network storage works incredibly well. I hope you enjoy my video and review.

    Thanks, that was an excellent, and practical overview. Not enough like this on KZread. I don't have anything against the typical 13y/o reviewer's cracking voice, it's their overall delivery. Thank you for a reasonably paced description and for including a lot of key elements. Now to go pull the plug on my ultra-reliable, and nearly 10y/o, WRT54G and upgrade to the same TC you have here.

    The common person that can read can setup any router on a web interface. Although I am an Apple fan boy I consider DD-WRT to be the ultimate in control on a compatible router. With that said I can agree that the Time Capsule is a fantastic product from my experience.

    I just spent the big bucks on the 3TB model. So far it's working and was easy to set-up, but I'm a little confused about why I would need to use it to create another WiFi network? I already have a WiFi network and I have the time capsule connected to my Ethernet network, which is faster and more secure. Any idea why or if I would need to use WiFi with this time capsule, either as part of my existing WiFi network or as an additional separate network? Thanks.

    I do not understand how to use the Time Capsule. My Mac is maxed out in memory. I want to be able to store information on the Time Capsule so I can free up space on my Mac. I also want to be able to to retrieve the stored information at a later date. I am so afraid to delete files on my Mac for fear that when the automatic back ups take place it will only save what is remaining and previous data will be erased. Can you help me understand how this works.

Sometimes when we turn our baby monitor on it drastically cuts down the wifi signal. Like I said this is the case with our soon to be replaced old linksys router.

    The Time Capsule is a router by itself, you simply need your mac to be connected to the time machine's wifi (your home wifi if you use it as your router as well, as you should). No need to connect physically to the time capsule to backup your laptop.
