Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme

laughingperson5 · Feb 7, 2009, 10:34 PM

Ok so I'm planing to get a MacBook Air ,but since there isn't that much hard drive memory i want to get a Time Capsule. I am also thinking of getting an AirPort Extreme to replace my current router. Since the AirPort Extreme only has one USB port and I am planning on connecting both my printer and Time Capsule, if i get one of those USB to ethernet adapters, will it work?

The time capsule is also an airport extreme base station, you don't need to have both. All you need is the Time Capsule.

you can just get the time capsule, then purchase a USB Hub and connect multiple USB Drives &/or printers to it in addition to the internal drive.
