Time Capsule

[Deleted member 651465]

Can't you use a (powered) USB hub to connect both your printer and your hard drive?

Just like here http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/features/harddrivesharing.html

I thought that too, but people on MacRumors seem to think otherwise.

I haven't had time to try to be honest.

It wouldn't even need to be a powered hub, as the printer and MyBook both have their own power.

 

[WotDa]

Yup, that's how I've finally come to understand

Not my pr0 diagram?

Not my pr0 diagram?

And that too

how does it connect to a router? i have a netgear rangemax one and tha is connected straight to the phoneline, how do i connect that to the time capsule? using an ethernet cable out of one of the 4 ports on the router?

Yup... like how you would connect to a PC/Mac

Ethernet Out on modem > Time Capsule Ethernet in.

 

[ichabod crane]

so in that case you will have two wireless networks? am i correct one from the router and one from the airport box? and could just disable the netgear one, am very tempted by one of these, as my external HDD is bursting

 

[J1234]

Yeah, disable wireless on the old router and use Time Capsule as the new one.

Does anyone know if it would be able to stream movies etc to an Xbox 360 without then need for any other PC/Mac being on?

AFAIK, no.

Because you need to install Bonjour on Windows system to communicate with the base-station/HDD, so unless you can install Bonjour on the 360 (or some kind of work around), no way yet.

I tried using a USB 2 HD on my Airport Extreme, resulted in 3Mb/s write.

Totally useless!

I hope this way would be able to max a gigabit connection, but I'd rather get a NAS as I dropped Time Machine about 2 weeks ago.

Did you set the transfer rate to 11?

It's on 4 by default.

several manufacturers make server grade 7200rpm hard drives. They're typically used in SANs to provide low cost, high capacity enterprise storage. They're labled as server grade due to a higher MTBF rating than desktop drives.

 

[Logsi]

Very interested in one of these. Wanted to buy a 802.11n device and was looking at the airport extreme, may plump for this instead.

[CocoPops]

Couldn't resist any longer..

 

[WotDa]

Anyone heard if this comes with the 802.11n enabler like the Airport Extreme?

Ta.

All modern macs are already "enabled".

If you have a pre-santa rosa Mac then yes, the enabler is bundled.
