I posted this question on a different forum a while back, but now that I've actually received my Time Capsule device and have it my possession, I have to bring up the same question again, because NOT using the suggestions offered in the thread above are specifically mentioned on the single page 'Need-To-Know' documentation that came with my Time Capsule...
This documentation says, Quote:
One important caveat here is that I will not be using the time capsule device wirelessly...I will have it hard wired directly to a gigabit switch at all times...my thinking is that Apple recommends having the device as your primary router and not a network client for situations in which people will be using the device wirelessly... However, given some of Engadget's negative critiques of the Time Capsule in their recent review, I think that using the 'QoS' feature of my D-Link DIR-655 router to prioritize the network activity of the Time Capsule's backups so that its listed slightly lower in the hierarchy than any/all network activity that's coming in/going out of my primary desktop & laptop computers might be a nice strategy - so that I never actually notice any network performance dips during times when either of my two computers is backing up...Any thoughts on this? One final question...here is a link to a SmallNetBuilder.com comparison chart between the Apple Airport Extreme (which is basically the same router as the Time Capsule, as far as I know) and my current D-Link DIR-655 router....Given my lack of advanced network jargon comprehension, is it even worth my continuing to use the D-Link as my primary router? Is the Time-Capsule's router more advanced and more capable? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks! |
