[QUOTE="titina, post: 995490, member: 52709"] Thanks guys Collin, we both also have iphones, though I 'm not seeing the relevance here? (sorry perhaps I'm being a little ignorant) Both phones and both macs pick up our wi-fi network at home as it is... The more I think about it, the more I think that having something that could back both mac wirelessly and in the background is better for us; if we won't have to do it manually it will get done... if we have to connect something to each mac, then we might not do it as often as we should... Jaygray, why do you think it is unlikely that the router could connect to a drive enable us to set up a back up to it? If the drive was wired to the router (as I don't think there are hard drives with wi-fi connectivity other than the TC, ir it's not the router that's the issue here, rather it's the drive itself), then could we not set up our mac to back up through the router to the drive? I sort of thought this is how TC works, it's a router with a drive attached to it in one box, yes? [/QUOTE]
