Cost wise you will need to see if it fits your budget. If you mean their NAS range I would recommend Synology as better alternative. it is not easy as Apple made major changes at Sierra and the latest, Catalina seems to be causing more issues than ever. Netgear have had issues keeping up with Time Machine. Just connecting a Netgear backup drive to use with Time Machine You do need to buy something for backup, unless you also have a desktop Mac which I don't see listed. But test over several days to make sure it is stable and remains fast. If all your devices get adequately fast wireless connections and it can handle the load of everything you are using by wireless. Does not cost anything to try and I am a big believer in using what you have instead of buying more if it does the job. Most ISP supplied routers are frankly terrible. You must have bought it just after the tower was released if you have the age correct. but I think it is now old enough to have served out its time. The fan should be replaced not just cleaned. I am guessing yours is tower and not the Gen4. The Gen5 tower TC are horrible units construction wise. Question is would I be better off switching my wifi back to my Arris router and just connecting a Netgear backup drive to use with Time Machine, or should I purchase one of the new alternatives to the TC and use that as the primary wifi/backup? It is spinning up loudly now and I think it's time to replace it. I tried taking it apart and cleaning it but no luck. It has been flashing yellow and giving me the overheating warning for a few weeks. We also use Time Machine to back up the two laptops. My internet speed on average has always been around 120mbps and plenty for all of our devices. I have it in bridge mode so the TC is the wifi source and all my devices such as my TV, modem, PS4 are plugged into it.Īs far as devices the TV and PS4 are connected directly to the TC, and our two laptops, the kids ipads and our ring doorbell use wifi only. I purchased my 2GB TC about 6 years ago and have it connected to my Arris modem that is from Spectrum (Brighthouse). Hello, I have read through a ton of posts but want to see if anyone has my setup and what they did when their Time Capsule died.
