This is a very simple question for those that have a newer MacBookPro (mine is three weeks old - bought new from Apple Store) and the smaller Time Capsule. I am the only one in the home I live in and I need a PC hooked up via ethernet cable. I have an external HD with Norton Ghost to back up my desktop. I want to use my new MBP wirelessly - my old Linksys wireless router needs replacing. My questions: 1 - Is the wireless set up for a MacBookPro and Time Capsule difficult?

2 - After an intial cable back up does the wireless back up work well for the MBP & Time Capsule without a lot of resetting this and that?

3 - is the Time Capsule wireless as good as most "n" wireless rounters? Thx!

(My ISP is Time Warner High Speed Cable)

Just got my time capsule, it has exceptional wireless performance. Its just an airport extreme with built in power supply (so you just have a cord, and no brick), and a 500 or 1000 gig HD inside.

I haven't even gotten my MBP yet, (comes monday), but notice a huge performance/speed difference on my current pc laptop via wirelss.
