Hi,
I've been using a 1Tb Time Capsule for a few weeks now, and have had nothing but trouble since I set it up. It's currently set up to join my home wireless network, which it does quite happily, but transferring files to or from it is painfully slow. The fastest it will go is about 1Mb/second (in either direction).
I've tried both extending my current wireless network and asking Time Capsule to create its own wireless network. I then use my Macbook to access the files stored on the Time Capsule, and this is when things go downhill. I'm not trying to do anything complicated; just copy and paste files onto the device for backup purposes - but it still only goes at 1Mb/second, even when set to 802.11n speed. There are no other devices connecting to the network. Plugging in an Ethernet cable to do the file transfers increases the speeds, but completely defeats the object of having spent £300 (~$600!) on a device which is supposed to be able to do this wirelessly.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? Is there any chance the device is faulty or am I just doing something wrong?
