[QUOTE="credential, post: 1135648, member: 176646"] Good day. I'm just awaiting delivery of my first MBP (former 15+ year PC user) and I'm looking to set up my router. I already have a router, but it's 3 years old and doesn't have a USB slot to accomodate my external USB hard drive. I like the idea of the wireless/automatic backup of the time machine. I'm wondering if using an Airport Extreme Base Station with the external hard drive connected to it will do the same thing as the TC? Or...to save a few bucks, is another option simply to purchase a separate router with a USB slot (I've heard about Buffalo and Netgear) and connect my external hard drive to it? Given that I already have an external hard drive, I'm looking for easy, automatic and wireless backup without spending the $ on something like a TM if I don't have to. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
