Congratulations on purchasing your AirPort Time Capsule. Read
this guide to get started.

AirPort Time Capsule offers you fully automated backup for computers on your Wi-Fi network.
Using the Time Machine application in Mac OS X v10.5.7 or later, it’s easy and automatic to
back up all the Mac computers on your network to a single AirPort Time Capsule.
AirPort Time Capsule is also a fully featured AirPort Extreme Base Station that provides
simultaneous dual-band wireless networking using the 802.11ac specification. When you set
up your AirPort Time Capsule, it creates two high-speed Wi-Fi networks:

Â

A 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) network for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices, such as iPhone,
iPod touch, and older computers

Â

A 5 GHz network for 802.11n, 802.11a, and 802.11ac devices, such as iPhone, iPad, Apple TV,
and newer computers

Wi-Fi devices automatically join the network that provides the best performance and
compatibility, and AirPort Time Capsule shares your broadband Internet connection with
computers and devices on your network.
