Problem Solver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My mother & I recently moved into a town home 6 months ago and I have the Asus AC68U I received from T Mobile for free but retails for $200 and very feature rich. Everything worked, even had a hard drive connected for Time Machine back ups. However, my mother is a notary and prints a lot and my printing use has gone up lately as well but our THREE HP printers would always fall off the network and disappear but still showed it was connected. For months & months I tried different things from simple reboots to manual IP addresses to each printer but to no avail. Enter Apple Time Capsule 2TB. A VERY easy set up although I had to use my Macbook Pro to set it up. Not as feature rich but definitely less maintenance. I tweaked a couple settings and so far everything is running smoothly & the BEST part is ALL 3 printers work flawlessly now but only after tweaking the settings. The auto back ups are also worth the extra $100 as a standalone 2TB external drive is around the same price and only adds clutter in the end. Only unfortunate part now is having a spare high end router although I may decide to use it as an extender for the upstairs part of the house. I HIGHLY recommend tweaking the settings for optimal performance.

Buy it already :O)
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Kicking my self for not buying this sooner, life is much easier now that I have this. I spent more time taking it out of the box than I did setting this up. Has a great range and works great. Less than 5mins to set up.

Not yet ready for prime time!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased the latest generation Apple Airport Time Casule to replace an aging Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 GHz router on August 2. Optimum Online cable also replaced our cable modem at this time. Our decision to purchase the Apple Time Capsule was mostly made to support the many Apple wireless products in our household and based on the highly positive online comparative reviews. Set-up was a breeze thanks to the Aiport Utilty program, however, we were quickly frustrated by the lack of stability in the wireless connection and the limited wireless range. We spent many hours on the phone with Apple Care attempting to resolve these issues. The Apple Care tech confirmed that the set-up was correct but could not explain why the range and connectivity was so poor. In the end, the Apple Care tech recommended that we exchange the router for another Time Capsule, which we did. The range seemed to improve, but connectivity continued to be an issue. The system kept dropping the connection at various locations throughout our two story home, and required that we re-enter the password to reconnect. Our home is approx. 3000 sq ft, but the old Linksys G router was never an issue with connectivity or range. It was slow, but always very stable and reliable. After numerous attempts to find solutions to the Aiport router issues, we finally gave up and returned the Apple Time Capsule to Best Buy, (Best Buy was very easy to work with, no issues about the two returned Apple routers). Yesterday we purchased a new Linksys EA650 dual band AC1750 wireless router, also from Best Buy. Set up was very straight forward, and the range and connectivity are superb! The Linksys router is located at one end of the house on the first floor and we can reliably get a stable wireless connection on the opposite end of the home, on the seond floor. Although we continue to be big fans of Apple products and Apple Care service, we are extremely disappointed with the Airport Time Capsule.

Q: QuestionI have the Comcast Xfinity X1 box which runs my TV, phone and internet (including wireless). I want to hookup an external hard drive so that files from the hard drive can be accessed by any device on the wireless network. Is it possible?
Asked by terbojag.

Q: QuestionCan I connect a Windows external hard drive to this as well? Also, I have a modem//wireless router that I rent from Comcast. Am I able to connect to this or should a just buy a separate modem?
Asked by kelkel2933.
- A:Answer 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.
