Hey guys, I've had a 3 tb time capsule for about 4 years now and yesterday it suddenly "died." Fan sounds and still warm but no wifi to connect to and no light on. I unplugged and plugged back in and no change, fans ran but no wifi, no light, and nothing if I plugged it in through ethernet. Today I plugged it in and out a few times and magically it turned on again so I'm quickly seeing if there's any old backups I can salvage before it dies for real.
On amazing the 3tb time capsule is still outrageously priced at 300+ plus! D: Any reason I can't just buy a 30 dollar linksys router, physically plug in an external 3tb harddrive (89 dollars) into said router and get the exact same thing for almost a third the price?
What I need is something that acts as a router and I can wirelessly use time machine backups on. Every single cord is being used up on the back of my imac so being able to wirelessly backup is a huge plus. Thanks for the help team!
TLDR: Need a wireless router that'll let me connect my laptop, ps4, printer, and imac (so literally every router in the world lol). Needs to have a port that'll let me plug in an external hd so I can run time machine over the network. Thanks!!!
