UpdatingAirPortSoftware
Apple periodically updates AirPort software. It is recommended that you update your
Time Capsule to use the latest software.
You can select “Check for updates when opening AirPort Utility,” or “Check for updates”
in AirPort preferences. If you select “Check for updates,” choose an increment of time,
such as weekly, from the pop-up menu to automatically check for updates.
TimeCapsulePlacementConsiderations
The following recommendations can help your Time Capsule achieve the best wireless
range and network coverage.
 Place your Time Capsule in an open area where there are few obstructions, such as
large pieces of furniture or walls. Try to place it away from metallic surfaces.
 If you place your Time Capsule behind furniture, keep at least an inch of space
between the Time Capsule and the edge of the furniture.
 Avoid placing your Time Capsule in areas surrounded by metal surfaces on three or
more sides.
 If you place your Time Capsule in an entertainment center with your stereo equipment,
avoid surrounding your Time Capsule with audio, video, or power cables. Place your
Time Capsule so that the cables are to one side. Maintain as much space as possible
between your Time Capsule and the cables.
 Try to place your Time Capsule at least 25 feet (7.6 meters) from any microwave oven,
2.4 or 5 gigahertz (GHz) cordless phone, and other sources of interference.
 Do not place other objects (books, papers, small pets, etc.) on top of the Time Capsule.
It may interfere with Time Capsule cooling.
