It includes configuration software for both Mac OS X and Windows, making it a true cross-platform solution. The router also features a firewall to protect you from malicious software that can attack your computer from the Internet, as well as wireless security to insure that your data remains private. A USB port is present for printer and hard disk sharing. The router is also fully backwards compatible with legacy 802.11a/b/g devices. It also features three standard 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The router allows you to share your Internet connection between several computers via the draft 802.11n wireless protocol. Your internal network will then have hardwire and wifi speed.The AirPort Extreme Base Station from Apple is a compact Internet router with powerful wireless capabilities. That will be seven Gigibit ports, one of which is the Time Capsule. The good news is the simple solution: For about $50 get a good, a/c plug internal power supply Ethernet Gigabit 8 port switch TP-Link TL-SG1008 is available. It is possible to split off the Ethernet from FIOS at the Junction box, but this requires technical self-training on the internet, special equipment, and costs that many do not have time for and/or aptitude. Generally speaking, it must use the Verizon modem. but FIOS is a bit more complicated that that. If you have a simple Ethernet port from your cable company, and can use any brand switch, this is not a problem. The 10/100/1000 router will not work as a dumb switch, behind your router. When in 'bridge mode', as it must be behind the cable company router, the ethernet ports are not active. I bought to use the 802.11ac wifi and the extra four Gigabit ports. I can strongly recommend it, except in the following situation: it is not all things at once for Fios.

Very good for novice networkers - but be aware of its limitations.įor a non-computer person it is what it is - wifi-router w/time capsule backup for Mac computers and 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports. You’ve got a buy something that isn't Apple, its aftermarket and you need a minimum of 2 devices to do what one Time Capsule is doing. As I mentioned it’s unfortunate Apple‘s not making them anymore.

I’m starting fresh with a new one for the new MacBook Pro and a new one for the old MacBook Pro that leaves me with one brand new spare and one my used spare that has the 12 years of backups on it. I have one Time Capsule with 12 years of back ups, that’s the one that’s been running for eight years straight. Total Mount made for Apple Products has a wall mount for a Time Capsule and keeps it pretty much dust-free and it runs cooler than having it down on your floor, under your bed or behind your TV. The average life for a hard drive is around five years and six years is really good and pushing it, these things are made so good some have of lasted 20 years. I’ve got one for my new 2021 MBPro M1 Max and one for my old 2012 MBPro that is the one i am swapping out, because eight years is a long time for an HDD drive. I’m about ready to set that aside for an emergency back up and start using one of the three brand new ones I own. I’ve got one now that I’ve been using for eight years steady and it’s never giving me an issue. I’ve never had a product more durable and last so long. However if you’re an Apple Addict and you’ve got the money they are well worth the money. The problem with buying them new in an unopened box, you’re paying more than they we re when they were Brand New in the Apple Store. If you get lucky to get one it is certainly worth it and you can even have bigger drives put in them. Also they’re very delicate so it could get damaged while being refurbished. They are so great you see a lot that are Refurbished but there’s a lot of Sellers, Selling Previously Owned and Used as Refurbished so you’ve got to be careful when buying a Refurbished Unit claiming that they’ve been Tested and Work. It was sad to see that Apple stop making these in 2013 they’re very rare and hard to find especially in 3TB. It is such a great product 3 in 1, Storage, Wi-Fi and a Router and it all works Seamlessly with all your Apple Products.
