My refurbished iMac will be arriving this week. I currently have a wired/wireless network set up in my house using the Linksys wndr3700 wireless router.

I will be purchasing an external hard drive (2 or 3 TB) for data back-up.

My question is, are there any big advantages to going with an Apple 2TB Time Capsule, which has the wireless router built in (i.e. use this in place of my Linksys router), or would you suggest that I purchase an external hard drive (e.g. Seagate, Western Digital) and continue to use my Linksys?

I have 2 TCs and an Airport Extreme, but honestly, if your Linksys is working fine I'd just go with an external HD.
