Overview
Wireless backup for Mac OS X Leopard.
Automatic backup with Time Machine.
Time Capsule works automatically with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard to create the perfect no-hassle backup solution. There are no cables, and you can back up all the computers in your home to a central _aw_location.
Server-grade storage.
The massive 1TB or 2TB server-grade hard drive2 gives you all the capacity and safety you need for backing up all your Mac computers.
Easy wireless networking.
Connect your DSL or cable modem to Time Capsule, then quickly set it up with the easy-to-use AirPort Utility, which is included for both Mac OS X and Windows. Within minutes, you and up to 50 others can use your Mac computers or PCs to surf the web, stream video, share photos, and more — without wires.3
Simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi. 
For maximum range and compatibility, Time Capsule works simultaneously on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, allowing all the devices on the network to use the most efficient band automatically. And Time Capsule uses the latest 802.11n wireless technology so you can enjoy up to five times the performance and up to twice the range of 802.11g wireless networks.4
Guest networking.
Now you can set up a separate Wi-Fi network with a separate password for your visitors. Simply enable the new guest networking feature, and your guests can use the Internet but can’t access other parts of your private network, such as your computers, printers, and attached hard drives.
Wireless drive sharing.
Time Capsule also works great as a wireless hard drive, whether you have a Mac or a PC. It sets up in a snap, giving you a networked hard drive you can use for storing and sharing all kinds of files. If you're a MobileMe member using a Mac with Mac OS X Leopard, you can even access the files on the drive over the Internet.5
Print without wires.
Print documents, photos, and more from any room in your home or office to a central printer connected to Time Capsule via USB. (See system requirements.)
Strong security and access controls.
Protect yourself with the built-in firewall and industry-standard encryption technologies including WPA/WPA2 and 128-bit WEP.
Works with iPhone, Apple TV and more.
Time Capsule works with Mac computers, PCs, iPhone, iPod touch, Apple TV, and virtually all 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi wireless devices — all at the same time.1

A no brainer

Once the price dropped I jumped on this deal and haven't looked back. This was the easiest router I have ever setup. The Time Ma…Read morechine hooked up and synced seamlessly. It is extremely speedy. To have two devices in one to me makes sense. It saves space and reduces clutter. A no brainer. Enjoy!

Nice product easy setup could be more useful

Just got my 1Tb unit today 8/12/09. It kept complaining it could not mount the drive until I upgraded the software from the net. …Read more I was using 802.1b and this airport i MUCH faster! It saw my HP 1600 laser printer but the HP doesn't support the mac!!! Thanks HP!
I would like to use the Tb drive for my own uses as a second drive but no dice. That would be nice. I put an external drive on it but could not see it. I think I need an NTFS format to do that.
Bottom line, its still worth the price but could have more utility.(8 of 15 people found this review useful)

A Must Have

I bought the Time Capsule 1TB about two weeks after purchasing my MacBook Pro. It replaced my Linksys G router. The speed differ…Read moreence was incredible for both iphone and MacBook. Backup was flawless. I also use it as a hard drive. I've transferred pictures and video straight to it that I want to store and use at a later date so as to not put in on the computer's hard drive. I love the wireless aspect and ability to access the hard drive when I'm not at home. I think upgrading to the 2TB is a must and natural progression though the 1TB gives you plenty to work with at a cheaper price. Anyhow, for me, the three best Apple products are the MacBook Pro, Time Capsule, and iphone. I will always upgrade and keep these products in my home as they are seemless and awesome.

Exclude whatever folders or disks you like. Love redundancy? Keep the Capsule itself mirrored on an external drive as well. Oh, and the built-in Airport access / signal boost means one less single-purpose device to keep plugged in!
