    Fast than my U-Verse Router and Love the Back-up

    This product provides faster wi-fi speeds than my regular AT&T U-Verse Router even though it's plugged into the U-Verse Router. While I'm pretty tech savvy, I don't understand that concept. Also, I love the peace of mind of having my MacBook Pro, my wife's iMac and her MacBook Air automatically backed up without even having to thing about it! I would highly recommend this product.

    Worth the money. If you don't want the automatic back-up you can buy just the router. Worth paying a little extra for a reliable router that is easy to set-up. Don't be fooled into buying a router from your internet provider. I have verizon fios. I told them I did not want to buy a router and that I wanted the optical box with ethernet-out and was able to just use the apple router.

    This product has an eye toward great design so it looks good wherever you place it in your home or office. It also functions flawlessly as a router and gives you peace of mind as a backup hard drive. Set up is super easy and nearly self explanatory like most apple products. A little pricey but the ease of use compact design and functionality are worth the price.

    We just moved into a house 50ft X 30ft and it has 2 levels. My wireless cable modem was in one corner of my house and I was not able to get a signal in my bedroom which is in the opposite end of the house. I was all ready to ready to hire a guy to run cat 5 cable up 2 levels to the artic across 50 ft and down the walls to get a wireless repeater in my room so I can have a signal on that area of my home. The bestbuy rep was awesome, she suggested this item and the thing works like magic. Easy to install and I get full signal on my apple and PC devices 50 ft on the othere side and I can even get signal 100ft outside my house from where the device is located. It also allows me to backup all my windows Vista and Windows 7 devices to the 2T hard drive. I would recommnd to anyone. The apple support is also incrediable.

    We love our Time Capsule. Phenomenal product that has increased our internet speed significantly in the house. Great back up as well...completely effortless! The only issue was we had some challenges with a price match not being honored by best buy. Aside from that, it is perfect!

    Increased Speed and Distance

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had an Airport Supreme and was very a pleased. As I added more devices especially Blue Ray streaming, I was maxing out my distance and speed. The Best Buy sales rep said I wouldn't gain that much, but decided I needed a solid back up. The rep was correct in some ways. My older devices stayed about the same speed, but WOW my new iMac desktop and phones were amazingly fast. I also gained a stronger signal and can now get wifi in my backyard on my patio which I will enjoy in the summer. Time capsule back up is amazing. I know it is a lot of money but well worth it. I used my Airport to make a printer wireless and enjoy that. The only problem I had, which I should have done first, was to update my software. Read the spec carefully, as my laptop was too old to use as a set-up device, but works well on the network.

    In my household we have a MacBook Air, 2 PC's, 2 iPhones, and an iPad. For a long time I've wanted a shared storage drive that would always be on so all my computers and iOS devices could access it wirelessly at any time. The new Apple Time Capsule has finally given me that. In addition, the wireless internet speed of my network is 50% faster.

    This router is the best I have used. Easy to setup, fast, and the 2TB storage is a big plus. If you are Apple device heavy, this is the way to go. No drops in connection, and my connection speeds are faster on all of my devices. Range is excellent, as I have it upstairs and have a strong signal with my network throughout our 4100 sqft home.

    I am a big supporter of Apple products: security, convenience, great customer support, and more. I have used their previous version (2nd gen time capsule) for years and love the upgrade. With no additional changes to my Cox (cable internet provider) account or network, I replaced their wireless router/cable modem with a zoom DOCIS gigabit ethernet cable modem (no wireless capability, didn't need it) and the new time capsule. The speed increases were apparent right away. Its an extremely flexible device: use it as a router for internet, create a local network, a print server, turn off networking and use it as an external hard drive... Time machine backups are effortless and amazing, giving you access to all changes to your files every hour for 24hrs, every day for a week and every month. Absolutely love it. The wireless specifications are top-of-the-line, 2.4 and 5.0 GHz connections, and 802.11 a-n networks.

    Although slightly more in cost than some other devices, the ease of setup and wi-fi performance are worth it. Setup can be completed via computer or iOS device. Excellent no-maintenance incremental backup solution for Time Machine users on Mac. Integrates easily with other wi-fi routers to extend existing network.

    Covers my whole house where my previous router(Verizon Home Fusion Router) had very weak range. I even have signal to the road albeit weak which is about 950 yards from the house. Time Capsule works great as well, backs up everything with no thought involved which is the best kind of back up.
