The whole issue started with me posting (in recent days) a question about any benefits to my getting a TC at the same time being very nervous about getting it connected correctly considering my newbie state. And I posted that my only concern with my network issues were my inability to watch youtube videos without frustrating stop, start. On another forum someone had me login to my router and from that info determined tat my current westell 7500 router was working very well with my new MBP and Ipad. And the TC would not improve anything there but increasing my network speed would help, hence this question.
I do know that a TC would provide a backup source but I can get that cheaper and connect easier.
