Product Information

Experience features designed to boost your productivity and comfort with the Apple AirPort Time Capsule 2TB External NAS. This Network Added Storage device has been optimized to provide a suite of valuable, networking-related functions and applications. This Airport Time Capsule Wi-Fi broadcast tool is crafted with an eye towards backward compatibility. To this end, the Capsule broadcasts wireless signals in both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequency bands. The Apple Airport 2.4GHz transmissions work with 802.11b, g, and n architectures. The Airport Utility Time Capsule's 5GHz band fully supports 802.11n and well as 802.11a clients. The wide-ranging backward coverage provided by the Airport gives you access to a larger pool of devices. Creating these broadcasts are six of Apple's proprietary beam forming receive/transmit antennas. Three of the Mac antennas serve the 2.4GHz radio, while the other three support the 5GHz band. This Airport Utility Wi-Fi station provides you with a specialized 802.11ac feature called beam forming. Beamforming antennas are capable of a combined link rate of transmission of 1.3 Gbps. Each individual stream can bring a rate of 433.3 Mbps to the table for you. This gives you plenty of browsing speed to complete tasks. This Wi-Fi router provides you with a specialized 802.11ac feature called beam forming. Beamforming antennas like the one used in the Mac can recognize the spatial location of devices on the network. They can then send out separate and concentrated beams to each individual device. By increasing the speed of conversations between the router and an individual client, the throughput of your overall network can greatly increase. The Airport beamforming capacity also makes your signals less vulnerable to distortion and interruption. This Mac router serves as a solid backup and storage device. The Apple Time Capsule is available in one of two hard drive sizes, including 2 Terabyte and 3 Terabyte. This hard drive capacity provides you with up to several thousand gigs of space. This amount of storage makes it easy for you to securely put away literal databases of information. To enhance this ability, the Time Capsule hard drive allows access to any authorized users on the LAN or WAN. Plus, users can attach USB external drives to the Time Capsule, which others can then access and share. This feature is a powerful way to share resources among colleagues, friends, or family members. The Mac airport Base Station also uses its storage capabilities to perform automatic wireless backups periodically. This feature works to make copies of your important files, media, apps, and more. It can download and save data from any Mac computer in your home or office. After initially setting parameters after unpacking the unit, you can let the Apple Airport NAS do the rest. The Time Capsule's base station community capabilities make it a great candidate for network device sharing. This ability is applied with the Mac router's wireless printing capacity. Whether you have a cable or not, you'll be able to connect the router to compatible wireless printers. Once that's done, every other computer on the net will be enabled to print through the Apple router. This procedure works with multiple printers and hard drives, adding more utility to your network.
