[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1467358, member: 145676"] The MiFi is an actual Router - all by itself. The problem is you either need a USB connection or a WiFi as WAN router. The Time Capsule cannot do either of those - it is expecting Ethernet from your Modem. That being said - the Time Capsule can hook up to a 3G/4G router that does put out a wired signal. So - the Time Capsule is a useful piece of hardware if you want to do Network Backups and/or have Network Attached Storage - but it is expensive and maybe not what you need considering the hardware you have. The MX892 is a wireless printer - and you could hook it up to your MiFi directly. That being said - how is the coverage of your MiFi for your house (Can you get WiFi signal all over?) and how many more devices do you have? The MiFi can only handle 5 total. So - if you want to use your Time Capsule - to distribute the Wifi (can handle a lot mroe devices, probably is faster for internal transfer, and has gigabit ethernet) you can get a range extender/ethernet device like this [url=http://3gstore.com/product/1813_pepwave-surf-mini-200.html]Pepwave Surf Mini, 65 Reviews : 3Gstore.com[/url] Then it would go MiFi - over wifi - to the pepwave - through ethernet - to your Time Capsule - then you could use your time capsule as DHCP and WiFi server as well as NAS. There are other options if you want a full up 3G/4G router. Cradlepoint has always been good. [url=http://3gstore.com/product/3029_cradlepoint_mbr95.html]CradlePoint MBR95 3G/4G Router, 188 Reviews : 3Gstore.com[/url] Then you could setup your Cradlepoint as a Router and use the Time Capsule in Bridge mode. Then the Time Capsule is an expensive NAS - but it does have a USB port for adding a USB Printer or USB Hard Drive. Here is the advisor page for your MiFi 2200 on the 3GStore so you can see what all works with it.
