I'm in the process of moving into a town home and had Optimum over today to set up internet/TV/phone. Little did I know Optimum doesn't provide a router for wireless access, just a modem.
I've been wanting to purchase a Time Capsule for quite some time for backups for my rMBP. In reading the description, I see it also doubles as a router. We have a lot of devices in the house that would need to be connected to Wi-Fi & am wondering if the Time Capsule can handle it:
- PC laptop
- rMBP
- nest Thermostat
- Samsung TV
- Leximark Printer
- iPad
- 2 iPhones
....
So can the Time Capsule handle all that? Or Should we get a Time Capsule & Airport (which one) or a different router? We previously had Verizon which supplied a router. I honestly have no idea where to begin with figuring out brands/models/speeds...
Thanks in advanced!
*Edit... forgot to mention the house has 4 levels (unfinished basement, main floor, second floor, loft) The router would most likely be in the office which is on the second floor. We require enough range to be connected throughout the house. *
