Apple’s refresh was not limited to Mac Pros, Mini or iMacs alone; even AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule got some feature bumps. Both the devices can now operate on 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously to provide wide compatibility and network performance. Another nifty feature added to these devices is the Guest Network mode. A user does not need to hand out the Wi-Fi password to his friends or visitors as it can create a secondary network with internet access only.

Time Capsule also got MobileMe integration which allows the user to access files stored in the Time Capsule via the internet.

The 500GB Time Capsule is now selling for $299 while 1TB for $499. AirPort Extreme goes for $179.
