Bought a new 1 TB time capsule off ebay...some questions?

[The Governor]

As title says I just purchased a time capsule off of ebay.

Final price was $365...I was thinking I was going to walk away with it for only $270, but then I got into bidding war with some guy in the last 10 minutes......anyway

It's model number is: mb765LL/A

What's the difference between the above model number and MB277LL/A?

The latest ones can do simultaneous BG & N while the older ones don't do simul.

The older ones if u set to do BG and N u will cap out at 170Mbps as opposed to the latest ones that cap at 300Mbps.

This was what I was getting on my setup, don't know if they could go higher.

That was no guy, that was the seller. (sorry couldn't resist)

It would appear you bought the newer generation model with the simultaneous dual-band.

And that's still pretty much a good price.

That was no guy, that was the seller. (sorry couldn't resist)

I doubt the seller was shill bidding.

I doubt the seller was shill bidding.

I was joking.

can you use the TC router as just a storage drive and not do the backing up thing on these things?
