[QUOTE="dh80, post: 955863, member: 134283"] Hello all, I will be receiving a 27" i7 iMac within 2 weeks to replace my 8 year old desktop PC. I still have my 2 year old laptop PC and a 11TB Western Digital external hard drive. I want to set up a home network so I do not have to move my external from computer to computer and I currently have a D-Link DIR-625. I have been thinking about replacing it with an AirPort Extreme because they claim a external hard drive can be accessed through the router if networked. I just recently tried to use a Linksys WRT-610N but I couldn't get it to access the hard drive and got tired of waiting for a friend to come do it for me. My question is will the AirPort Extreme work for me or should i just bite the bullet and buy the Time Capsule and keep my current external as a back up for the Time Capsule? I like the fact that the Time Capsule can be accessed through the internet if I'm out of town but do not want to subscribe to MobileMe for something that I MIGHT do 2 times a year. [/QUOTE]
