    Use Time Capsule exclusively for Time Machine? Questions, questions.

    TC=Time Capsule, TM=Time Machine No new Airport products are on the timeline. Maybe Apple is moving to the cloud? I don't know, but my ~4 year old TC is showing it's age and I'm now planning to upgrade my network to the Asus RT-AC68U. The question is what do I do with TM? I like backups. Do I...

    Time Capsule without ethernet nor private wifi

    Hi, I have an Airport Time Capsule 3TB. I want to use it for backup of 4 Macs and as a shared hard drive. The problem is that I have no access to the ethernet wire and the WIFI I use is share with the rest of the people of my co-working space, so I don't feel like it is safe to use it. How do I...

    New router for wireless Time Machine backups?

    Hi folks, I'm looking to replace my first-generation Time Capsule (circa 2008) with something new that supports 802.11ac. I'd like to keep the convenience of wireless Time Machine backups, but the most recent Time Capsule is really expensive (~$300) and likely to be discontinued soon. Is there...

    Airport Time Capsule Went Downhill?

    Several years ago, I got a Time Capsule and I like it (the old form factor). Recently, I was researching a graduation gift to get for my nephew (laptop and auto-backup solution).

    AirPort - Ethernet port when connected to network wirelessly

    Hi, Sorry if the title doesn't make much sense, but my question (I hope) is quite simple. I have an AirPort Time Capsule (an older model) - it is currently in a upstairs in a room with a DVR which has no wireless capabilities (it needs to be connected via Ethernet). The modem/router from my...
