I have the Time Capsule,it has really good Wireless coverage typically 100 yards in a circle from the TC, it switches bands automatically as a device connects so 2.4 will get a 2.4 channel and 5 will get a 5 channel

The HD is designed to work either Wired or wireless, I use it to back up 2 macs via Time Machine so by using a TC you get a very reliable wireless device and a wireless hard Drive

I have 13 active networks near me (see screen shot) and not once in 2 years have I had any problem with the TC getting interference, the TC or Airport Extreme are a bit more money but quality always is, either of these options will not let you down


Yes, But will they be suitable for full usage and setup with Windows-Based computers? As I like to have full flexability over the network, and I dont have a mac... (Sorry if its a stupid question - I used to think Apple Routers are designed with Macs in mind, with Windows-Pc's just being things that connect onto the network)
