Setting Up Your Time Capsule

Using Your Time Capsule to Create Your Wireless Network

When you set up your Time Capsule to provide network and Internet access, the

following computers and devices can access the wireless AirPort network to share files,

play games, and use Internet applications such as web browsers and email

applications:

Â

Macintosh computers with AirPort or AirPort Extreme Cards

Â

802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and IEEE 802.11n draft specification wireless-equipped

computers

Â

Other Wi-Fi devices

Computers connected to your Time Capsule using Ethernet can also access the

network to share files and connect to the Internet.

With Mac OS X v10.5.2 or later you can set up Time Machine to back up all the

computers on the network to your Time Capsule. See “Using Time Machine with Your

Time Capsule” on page 23 for more information.

When you connect a compatible USB printer to your Time Capsule, supported

computers on the network (wired and wireless) can print to it.
