Classroom Time Capsule Ideas

We like the sound of this capsule!

After suffering from months of lag and buffering from my Apple Time Capsule, I decided it was time to upgrade to the best on the market. Easy to set up, and it's working like a charm. Great product that's worth every penny.

I cant say enough how enjoyable it is to be able to bring this anywhere while being able to get ideas out in such and interesting way!

I've used many bags with similar ideas over the years, but Peak Design really perfected this. I use this all the time and modify my bag consistently using these. It makes it so I can keep using the same bag in the most efficient way possible.

I purchased the RT2600AC to replace an aging Time Capsule. I still wanted the ability to use Time Machine on two Mac laptops we have in the house. The Synology has that ability ready to turn on with a click. All I had to do was plug in a USB drive and point my two computers to that drive, via the router and away we went. The radios in this router are more powerful than the Time Capsule it replaced. I am now getting a great signal everywhere in my 2 story, 1400 square foot house. The performance of my previous Time Capsule led me to believe that I would have to get a mesh system. Turned out I only needed a more powerful stand-alone router. By the way, the software to manage the router is fantastic. I recommend this router.

These replace an Apple Airport Time Capsule ($600, replaced once by Apple) which Apple stopped making in 2016. I could not be happier so far. Using one as a router on the landing of my basement stairs and one on the windowsill in my problem room (a converted one-car garage with concrete walls under the new paneling), not only do I suddenly get coverage ALL OVER the house (a first), but it even reaches to an outdoor balcony, the covered porch in back, and a separate building in the yard where I have my pool table--where there was zero signal before. Also, the speeds are suddenly much faster. The worst speeds with the TP-Link are better than the best speeds with the Time Capsule. I didn't even do any experimenting with siting the second unit--I just put it on the windowsill where it was handiest (see pic), and it works fine. My experience did deviate from that of some others in that setup was not straightforward for me--I had to spend a lot of time on the phone with Chris from Spectrum, who was very patient and cheerful. I do live in a very rural area, and have a complicated 1880's house. We did get it running, and I'm still not sure how. But all is well in the end. I haven't even had these set up for one day so far, so I can't speak to reliability. But for performance, I'm very happy. The screen shot shows my speeds out on my front porch, which I use as my office. The porch is behind some real plaster walls with METAL lathe, which usually acts like a perfect RF shield. That is the largest speed number I've ever seen out here by a far shot. BIG KUDOS and thanks to B&H Customer Service--the rep I talked to prior to buying these (I wish I could remember his name) really did a thorough job running down my options, and recommended these along with two other recommendations at different price points. He told me I was going to see big gains in performance, and was he ever right.

This 2TB external is small, compact, and does not need an external power supply. A really great back for my Mac time capsule, and all my digital photos from Lightroom.

This is a great audio capturing device. It has a lot of features so you may need some time to use it before you get familiar with it. Also, the X/Y capsule does a great job for recording voice and instruments (guitar in my case). If you're looking for a quality audio recorder, look no further.

Bought this as a replacement for my slowly dying Apple AirPort Time Capsule. Setup was relatively smooth, and the WD My Cloud is working as good, if not better, than the Time Capsule did. And it has enough space to back up all four of my family's MacBooks. Haven't used any of the other WD features, so I can't comment on that.

Does the job ( Apple Time Capsule internal disk replaced). Fairly quiet and great price from B&H.
