I was wondering, does time capsule work with USB modems? We have a USB modem and I don't want to buy time capsule unless it is compatible. I'll just use an external hard drive for the time capsule software.

What is your brand of USB modem? Are you saying there is no Ethernet with your modem?

We have one of those BigPond USB Modems, they go into a USB port in your computer and it connects you to the Internet. I was wondering if the Time Capsule would be capable of using that instead of an Ethernet cable.

Hmm... We tried one of those routers but it wasn't compatible with my USB and we ended up selling it... Where I live I can't get broadband.

I was wondering, does Time Capsule give you a wireless network without an Internet cable plugged into it? I want to use Time Capsule for Time Machine, but will it work without an Internet connection?

A person told me that if you plug an ethernet cable into a mac, it automatically emits wifi? Is this true? If it is, I don't see the point of Airport.
