Easy to set up and use... March 27, 2010 S. Medina (Richmond, VA United States) I purchased this to replace a Linksys WAP that I was never able to get working with an old HP PC (that might have been partly due to the computer though). The Time Capsule took maybe 3 minutes to set up and was working without a hitch (even the software for Time Capsule is easy to use). I have noticed from time to time the backup feature does lose its wireless connection. That is a little pest but can easily regain a connection. In all I really like this Apple product and the company that I purchased it from. It came in working order and with all the necessary documentation.
Very pleased - Apple offers great products March 2, 2010 carrie The time machine was easy to install and secure. Very functionally replaced my d-link and was far easier to set up and secure. We were told D-link was compatible with Mac but it was a constant struggle to use and never stayed secure. The time machine easily set up for both our Mac and our PC's,secured and backed up effortlessly. It is a far more functional wireless networking device. Love it so far.
Also the vendor was outstanding. Very fast shipping. Couldn't be happier.
Love Time Capsule March 2, 2010 Carol Mosier (Cottonwood, AZ United States) I had a WD book backup drive before this and it failed. This is so simple to set up, especially on a Mac. It is quietly sitting across the room backing up now, quietly and efficiently without any error messages saying "failed to back up". What a relief!! I am also figuring out how to use it to back up my hubby's PC.
guest network vs backup frequencies February 5, 2010 Fred Clancey (Boulder Colorado) This is such a convenient product that supports two networks. I leave one network, "guests" unprotected for any friends or neighbors who would like to use it -- very nice for visitors who want to pull out their latest wifi gadget (esp a voip device) to show you w/o having to ask for your password which feels awkward to both parties.
So many people, like myself, have failed to make frequent backups in the past that the TC is a great product since it makes backups soooo easy. But when I get realistic about how infrequently I used to make backups (once/yr?) why, pray tell would I think it essential to make backups once/hr? Why couldn't Apple have provided a feature in it's Time Machine software to pick another frequency, like once/week? This is especially pertinent for households with multiple computers to back up. I tried to install some 3rd party software that allows the user to pick backup their frequency, but that failed. So ... I resorted to hitting the "Backup Now" cmd whenever I want; otherwise, I would not have been able to have
1 -- amply frequent backups of three machines across a long time period
2 -- the less expensive 500GB TC and
3 -- large caches for my browsers (backups for which are not important)

It seems to be a relatively a common occurrence.
