Silly question I think, but I need some clarity. Being a recent arrival in the Mac lounge, I'm finding some of the vocabulary a little problematic.
I call a broad band router, a broad band router. I call a wireless access point a wireless access point.
I'm not exactly sure what our american cousins call what what. For example I spoke to an Apple store Genius who described a broad band router as modem and a wireless access point as a wireless router.
Normally such esoteric terminology would have exceeding little interest to me, but I am going Mac and I need a new wireless storage setup to replace my HP Home Server.
It seems that the Time Capsule is just the job, but for the life of me I cannot translate it's functions.
So, question is, does anyone have one, is it a router and wireless access point combined or just a wireless access point, and finally, is it worth having from a storage point of view?
Thanks folks.
