Hey folks. Anyone notice anything happening to their disk speed/transfer/access rates lately using a Time Capsule for a NAS?

I currently use it to do two TM backups, and hold an iTunes store - been working amazingly well for over a year, and then a couple of weeks ago notice massive lags.

The two Macs are using wireless, but internet speeds are as fast as ever... it just bogs down when you try to use a disk.

So, couple other questions: Was there an airport firmware update lately that I installed incognito - and it's botched? Is there a way to install old firmware etc? Lastly, is there any way to run disk utility (or something like it) on a network drive like the Time Capsule? Maybe it's just clogged up or something?

Your help is appreciated. And yes, I know there are better NASssy arrangements out there, but it was working fine until recently for my uses.

Thanks!

Follow up qualification... yes I searched previous posts

There is nothing other than rants against using it the way I am... but I have it and want to continue using it - so ANY help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
