    Pretty much everything I said already. It's super easy to set up and to back up your Mac wirelessly and with a cable. Easy to set up as a wireless router and I think the most important thing is that it's easy to change the settings of the router (name, password ect) after you've done everything using the airport utility on your computer and EVEN YOUR IPHONE

    Originally purchased a WD my book live for use with my MacBook Pro. Had nothing but problems and lack of customer support. Brought it back, the staff was awesome and I purchased this product and was amazed how easy the set-up was and also how effortless the backups run. The wifi is also much better than the current router I had been using. I highly recommend this product.

    Have a WD EX2 and it worked ok but the interface of Apple to Apple was a lot more smoother installation. Sometimes the WD would not connect and could go days without a backup. So far the time capsule has not missed a beat. "Knock on wood". Also the range of the WiFi improved over "N" version AirPort Extreme, even without using the "AC" bandwidth.

    Much stronger signal than cable company router. Had to reboot a few time the first week, but since then, no problems. I still have to use an Airport Express to reach the far side of my house, but that is my cable company's fault.

    Time capsule was really easy to set up. Living in an apartment complex, sometimes the WIFI on my default router would slow down to a crawl during certain hours of the day. Using the time capsule I went from 2MBPS to 16MBPS over WIFI. Definitely worth it. Plus since I have Apple products everywhere at home, using the back up utility is perfect.

    I'm not computer savvy, to start with. I got it because it was recommended as additional memory for photos, like an external hard drive, as well as a wireless router. Well, it really isn't. You can't just keep your photos on it and link up and pull them into a program, like you can with a external hard drive ( at least as far as I can tell) which is more an issue with the salesperson than the product. That being said, it does perform perfectly as a wireless router, and the ability to go back and restore any file from anytime in the past is a valuable tool and it works very easily. I would have, instead, upgraded to a Mac with more memory if I had researched it more before I bought it. I would have gotten it eventually, most likely, but not at this time.

    This is the 2nd time capsule I have purchased in 10 years. If you use Apple products, make this the backbone of your home network.

    I've been wanting to get a Time Capsule for a while now but always thought the price was a little high. Ever since I got a new system though, it was a perfect fit since I can use it to back up multiple Macs. The price is a little high, but what you get is a completely easy to use product with the highest WiFi speeds possible. Excellent product!

    Great product, I never have any problems getting online anymore. I only wish I would have known the hard drive only works with Apple computers not with iPhone or iPads. I should have just gotten the normal airport instead
