Apple has managed again to make something that is easy to setup and works beautifully. I no longer need to have repeaters around my house to get a strong signal and my download speeds have increased by 50%. I converted from Windows 7 years ago and will never "look back."

OK, right now, the buzz is all about "Mesh" networks, or the ability to take a bunch of wifi routers and have them seamlessly chain together as a single wifi network of the same name so you don't lose your connection as you walk around your mansion or estate. I don't have that problem as I live in a studio apartment, but I do have a problem of approximately 400 units stacked on one acre of land in downtown San Diego, most units having their own wifi, while the building offers a highly utilized free wifi service as well. That scenario offers lots of collisions with your neighbors, which will slow down any wifi network, and after the latest and greatest version of Apple's firmware was automatically installed, this router became not only rock-solid, but faster than greased Lightning 3.0 cables! It is very stable, where the previous firmware made it easy to understand why so many people were parting with their recently purchased routers on eBay for whatever they could get for them. And, that is what I like about Apple products, in general. They tend to look great, out of the box, but in time, their performance get better. Not very many Apple-made products that I have resented purchasing. Even where I became aware of some other product having some feature that I might have liked, I always felt like I got more than my money's worth, and I would echo that sentiment here. My only wish for their next generation of routers, (and, please don't go out of the business or Routers, Apple), is that they sacrifice two bits of "elegance" and put a reset button, preferably, on the top, but at least on the back, not admitting that it is unreliable and will often need to be rebooted, but so in the rare instance it does, doing so will be user-friendly and not require a manual or yanking the power cord from a spinning hard drive. (OK, since you kind of started this "mesh" thing by making it easy, but not cheap to do the same thing, making a less expensive Mesh product would be nice, but for the millions of people like me that have a 0-2 bedroom pad, less that 2500 square feet and no metal walls, this is great!Read full review

I was skeptical at first - but after running numerous "shield up" firewall vulnerability scans and testing various features I have determined that this is a well oiled network router w/ time machine backup capabilities. My network is secure, my mac computers can back up wireless, I can access my mac remotely and I have the fastest wireless and wired upload and download speeds that I have seen in a long time - I switched from a Dell SonicWALL TZ300 and unifi AP AC-Pro to this - and while the apple airport time capsule might not have all of the features of the TZ300; it certainly does its job very well.

The AirPort Time Capsule has been a great addition to my hime network. Backs up my Mac EVERY hour and that has come in real handy retrieving 2-month-old discarded emails or previous document versions. The router works great with everything in the house including a remote access point router of another manufacturer. I don't come close to needing the 2TB of storage available to me.
