Adequate, but sometimes slow; Average reliability,
I use my 2 TB Time Capsule for a wireless router and for wireless backups from my Mac mini.
As a router, it’s pretty reliable. I do have problems connecting to it using my iPhone 3GS. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. When it works, there are times it will stop working seemingly for no reason. Frustrating. Otherwise, my MacBook and Mac mini both connect every time and the connection is very reliable.
The Time Machine feature for backups works very well. It’s nice to not have to think about backups. It just works, backs up everything, and I don’t have to worry about it.
The problem with the wireless backup system is that it’s *extremely* slow, and it interferes with my use of my Internet connection. It would be nice if it would throttle the backups when I’m using my connection so that it doesn’t interfere. Or maybe it should only do backups when the computer is idle. And I’m not talking about the initial backup of my whole system…I’m referring to the incremental daily backups that are occurring months later.
My Linksys router that I had for years and years finally failed, but it worked much better than Time Capsule before it failed. My recommendation to anyone reading this is to buy a regular router, and then just use a USB or FireWire hard drive for backups.
I haven’t used the printer sharing features of Time Capsule, so I can’t speak to that.

|Really Great Product!,
I bought this product with some hesitation after reading some negative reviews. I have been using this product for about 4 months now and I have had no issues with it. It does exactly as it says. The only thing is that it backs up really slow over wireless but I have it hooked straight to my computer and it is a lot faster. Overall very satisfied with this purchase. It has already helped me recover some important files that I deleted by accident.

|Apple has done it again.,
I bought this for our family home wireless network. It backs up three computers and is our wireless router and as with many Apple products, it just works.
It took about 25 minutes from the time I plugged it in until the Time Capsule had captured the information to ‘talk’ to my DSL modem and account with Earthlink. Now I never think about backing up and my internet connection runs faster.
