wiredboy10003 points out, the set-up using apple's built in airport technology and the time capsule is a snap to set up as i did it for goalie-parents in about 15 minutes and (knock wood), not one problem hardware wise in the year that they have had it
i was going to go the t/c route when i inherited goalie-mom's laptop but it tuned out my dsl modem was so/too old and it wouldn't work and after calling at&, they deiced to send me a new wireless modem & router for free as i'm a long time customer
