Apple Time Capsule 1TB
College roommates can be dicey. They steal your food, soil the bathroom and think nothing of using your beer bong without asking. But what are you going to do? Live on your own? Oh please. Riddle us this: Without roommates, who's going to road trip it ...
Lets you set up a secure network and a guest network. Fast dual-band Wi-Fi. A terabyte of network storage. Automatic backup via Time Machine for Leopard users. Can access hard drive via Mobile Me
Works with PCs, but you need a Mac to get all the benefits. Little in the way of troubleshooting help if things go sideways. Skews toward the pricey side

Lacks AirPort Express' AirTunes for wireless music distribution ; Gigabit Ethernet file sharing performance is disappointing

To get the most out of their hardware, all Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme...

Works good,
I love the Gigabit ethernet ports! Nice little bonus on this product. Other than the printer issue, which
Looks good, works great. Time machine works great with it. Easy setup. Wireless N works great with my Macbook and my wife's Vista computer.
No official supported printer list. Have to actually use a seperate printer server for all computer on my network to be able to print to the networked printer. Luckily I already had the print server. Called Apple and got no support for this feature and wa...
EASY & EXCELLENT
All in all, I'm very happy with this item. I think it is a bargain at the price (not so much with the 1GB model). I have owned many Apple products over the years and never had a failure. Of course, it does happen, but I've been lucky. One note: I believe...
I bought my unit from Apple before it was available from NewEgg. This replaced my old (still functioning) Airport Extreme and has been a great purchase. I have been able to replace items that were inadvertently trashed several times. It's quick and easy....
It does run warm. I would imagine due to the internal power supply. The horizontal orientation takes up a bit of room. The wireless 802.11G and N cannot run simultaneously. If you have a computer in your network running B or G, the whole system will run a...
Apple solutions.
Apple intentionally disabled the feature from Leopard to allow Time Machine to backup over WIFI to a NAS connected to the AEBS. The reason given was stability issues. Though now the company releases Time Capsule which is basically the AEBS with an interna...
