    I was thinking about getting a time capsule.. They are the same as an airport extreme, but with all the extra storage, so you can back-up wirelessly and stuff, right?

    the time capsule may be only for the air.

    a firewire 800 (or usb 2.0) removable, may be a better investment for your backups. Certainly cheaper!

    I have an airport extreme, works great with my husband and I's macs, had to do some tweaking to get it to work correctly with the kids pc's though (that was a pain, but hey, after a day, we got it working). We considered time capsule, but since we all have external backups, we decided to hold off on that and just keep the extreme for now.

    Hi there,

    Couldn't resist but brag about it, have 3 x iMACs, 3 x Mac books, USB backup hard drive and 4 x Axis wireless cameras all 'hooked up" on extreme. Everything is working fine but I have to admit that extensive usage of wireless cameras across the iMACs chokes the network up.
    Called up Axis and they said that I would need something expensive like Cisco wireless router to solve that problem.

    Bye
    Zack

    Great plan, but with an ethernet-adapter you would cut off the connection of the place you visit, and they may probably not like that. So even better would be a kinda usb-stick wich would extend the host's internet via wifi!!

    Dunno if its possible; you got them sticks for bleutooth , but for i know, bt doesn't have to hassle with ip-addresses..

    Also just a thought;-)

    Cheers,

    Well my house is just under 2000sq.ft. (not including my basement) and everywhere in my house I have max bars LOL I have to be about a half a block away before the signal will break up.. I run my phone, the wife's iTouch, and our appleTV on it with no problems... So I would agree with Aiyo - It ROCKS!!
