The latest version of the Time Capsule — Apples Wi-Fi router with an integrated hard drive — has some new tricks up its sleeve that make it a more versatile backbone for a home wireless network. Its cost and a lack of compatibility with Windows-based backup utilities are a trade-off for simultaneous dual-band operation and decent speeds. Apple has offered 802.11 draft-n networking in its AirPort wireless routers for some time, but the new Time Capsule adds simultaneous dual-band operation as w...

College roommates can be dicey. They steal your food, soil the bathroom and think nothing of using your beer bong without asking. But what are you going to do? Live on your own? Oh please. Riddle us this: Without roommates, whos going to road trip it...
Lets you set up a secure network and a guest network. Fast dualband WiFi. A terabyte of network storage. Automatic backup via Time Machine for Leopard users. Can access hard drive via Mobile Me.
Works with PCs, but you need a Mac to get all the benefits. Little in the way of troubleshooting help if things go sideways. Skews toward the pricey side.
