Time Capsule is an Apple-branded wireless router that supports 802.11a/b/g/n protocols and can connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Time Capsule uses Apple Time Machine technology to automatically back up Mac computers to the Time Capsule. Time Capsule can also be used as a network storage device, allowing files to be shared with other devices via AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express.
This manual guides users through the initial setup of the Apple Time Capsule, including creating a Wi‑Fi network, configuring Internet sharing, and enabling Time Machine backups. It also describes the dual‑band wireless operation (2.4 GHz for older devices and 5 GHz for newer devices) and how to connect USB printers or hard drives.
Later chapters cover advanced options, security settings, and a range of troubleshooting topics such as Internet connectivity issues, password recovery, and indicator‑light behavior. Appendices provide regulatory compliance information and detailed specifications. This manual is written in Chinese.
