(I wasted 2 whole days one weekend trying to set up a LinkSys. The set up of the WiFi and the Time Capsule with Time Machine is trivially easy. In addition to the great speed and strong signal, the Time Capsule provides 3TB of hard drive for use with all my Apple computers (1 iMac, 1 G5, 2 Mac Minis). Address any prompts that appear on the screen (grant Administrative access, etc. Uploads are always around 4.5 - 5.0 Mbps). The Graphical Timeline to the right of the Time Machine windowīrowse to, and select files/folders you wish to restore.You can navigate Time Machine through the following: Open System Preferences To open System Preferences - Click on the Apple icon > System Preferences Open Time Machine Click on the Select Disk button.
