Q: Is this device like a modem&router in 1 plus hard drive?
A: It is a powerful router, I had to buy a separate modem. It gave my wifi on all 3 levels if my house plus my backyard. Also it can back up you MAC. Super easy to hook up! I highly recommend
A: It's possible. The biggest concern is security. Please make sure the drive along with your router is secure. If not, anybody can easily hack in and get your info.
Q: So I can push photos and videos from my iPhone to this?
A: Yes you can even move the operating system to it if you choose
A: Yes I use it to back up a Windows 10 machine as well as 2 macbook airs.... you will need to download the timecapsh l software and set it up on the Windows 10 machine.
A: Yes, all four can use this device.
Q: Will this work as a backup station for my MacBook Pro with TouchBar when I get the MacBook?
A: Yes
A: I have a Comcast router connected to mine and don't have any issues. You can chose to extend your Comcast wireless network or establish a separate wireless network. I cannot comment on the external drive question, other than I am backing up two Windows 10 computers as well as two Apple computers to this device. There is a USB port to add additional storage, but I don't know how you need to format that drive.
