  1. Gamecockdad –

    Bought the Airport Time Capsule during a refurbished sale at Bestbuy online. Got it for the wifi only but quickly setup the Time Machine backup on my MBP. It’s been rock solid since the day I installed it. Never had a need to reset the unit. Also the Airport Utility app works great for changing settings such as DNS.

  2. Cristianmtz –

    Great purchase! Powerful router and also 2tb hard drive, easy installation.

  3. Ipadrocks –

    The Time Capsule makes backing up your Mac effortless.

  4. AlarmDr –

    Great refurbished product. However, would have appreciated some instructions in the box. Had to go online to get set up information. That being said, it was easy to set up. Came on line quickly. Upload and download WiFi speeds increased significantly from my previous Linksys router. Very happy. Great savings buying refurbished.

  5. salmanaman –

    it is a wonderful device and can save my entire families backups with ease of course it looks great also as being an apple product. very happy with the purchase.

  6. Kekoa –

    My apple time capsule is great easy to set up and the wifi works fast. I’m glad I saved the money buying a refurbished model.

  7. SPRoch –

    Very easy set up, my wifi signal strength and speed is great throughout my house. I also have 3 macbooks and they seamlessly backed up with time machine.

  8. MRLee –

    Geek Squad certified refurbished is far different than Apple’s refurbished standards. yes the device works flawlessly. But unfortunately it is scratched up and does not look new. This looks like it was a floor model or it was rolling around somewhere… How do you scratch up your router? So weird…. Most people don’t move around them much, so I am baffled how it got so dirty and scratched up. But I can handle a scratched up dirty router because most most of the time I am not holding it… And the price was significantly less… I just wished they were more honest about what it is, and not calling it refurbished… Maybe a better description would be: Works Great, Still has limited warranty, but it is used.

  9. Dethfactor –

    I’ve only delt with Apple routers at home for the past few years but this was a decent upgrade and transferring over from an older express was amazingly simple. I’d recommend it for people who don’t know much about networking or people who don’t want to be bothered with a bunch of setup.

  10. As92 –

    The airport time capsule does not reach a great distance, after you get outside a 20-25 ft radius the signal really drops. When I am inside the radius then my speeds are great. I feel like it should extend further. I will just have to get more airport express’s.

  11. wchaz2 –

    I have a Mac air laptop and Mac desktop. The time capsule allows wifi throughout my house and syncs with my macs for seamless backup to its hard drive. Great product.

  12. john –

    Product delivered on time. Upon power up detected a password had been set from best buy. Big run around with best buy before they gave a full refund. Password could not be found.

  13. Mike –

    Purchased refurbished, and I couldn’t tell the difference from new cosmetically. Really simple set up with Time Machine, and backs up reliably. The surprise was how much faster this is as a router than the Surfboard combo I was using.

  14. SaleShopper –

    Even though it’s “refurbished” it looks and works like new. It expanded my wifi range (thru brick I was having a problem with before) and made my already fast network work even faster. I would definitely recommend!!!

  15. Pdam –

    Works great as a wireless data storage and backup. The bonus is using it as wireless router as well. I am pleased with the product. It is as good as advertized

  16. Alarmdoc –

    Was hesitant about purchasing a refurbish but not anymore. This Apple – Geek Squad Certified Refurbished Airport® Time Capsule® 2tb Wireless Hard Drive & 802.11ac Wi-fi Base Station – White is great. Easy setup. No instructions provided but found on Apple site. Has improved my network speed more than 3 times and to have a 2 tb wireless hard drive is a plus. Very dependable.

  17. BrooklynBestBuy –

    I had no issue installing it except that my internet provider needed to send a new modem. It backed up all my files

  18. Dwiz4all –

    This replaced an older WAP. It took little programming and provided additional network storage.

  19. jbush49 –

    I gave this as a gift. I hope it works because it was a Refurb!

  20. dbyrd –

    I’m happy with the product. Easy process of ordering and pick up. The team did a great job on this! Apple and Best Buy, a great combination.

  21. Mikefinn –

    Was shopping for a new router and a way to have a 2nd back up of my mac book air. This satisfied both needs! Everything functioned correctly and everything needed was in the geek squad package! The only knock was, no original product packaging, but that really did not matter to me!

  22. Jack –

    Product was refurbished . Had Issues ,called Apple , they ran me through a chain of understanding the problem . Could it be fixed…They determined in fact that it was defective and could not be fixed.. Returned it to my local store. They were really nice about it. I have bought several things like this,.That were Open Box or refurbished …this is the first one that did not work. I will continue to buy refurbished products.

  23. Mort –

    I bought the Apple Airport Time Capsule as a gift for a family member that has two iPhones and three iPads, with thousands of pictures to backup. The reviews said that it was easy to set up the Time Capsule and then it would automatically backup all of your files daily. After downloading the Airport Utility App we tried to set up each of the devices. The Time Capsule does not even recognize any of the devices. Now I have learned that Apple has discontinued the Airport.

  24. evw25 –

    Item shipped very quickly, could barely tell it was refurbished. Setup was easy after I figured out what to do. it did not come with directions

  25. RKV1 –

    Easy to setup and good range. My product is setup on the third floor and I get good signals in the group floor.

  26. Likeit –

    Apple number one no issues what’s so ever!! Will buy again

  27. Ranell –

    Perfect companion for apple computer. Would not recommend anything else for an all in one device for time machine backup and wireless router. Good coverage from all areas of home. Bought as geek squad certified and looked new. Set-up was fairly easy with on line help from apple support as no documentation supplied with device.

  28. Robg4427 –

    I needed a storage solution for my home and with 2TB’s of space and the ability to expand my wifi this was a no brainer. I have a mac ecosystem so set up was a breeze. Works well as a router and as a back up solution. I got the geek squad refurbished unit it was a bit dirty and it looked like the previous owner had some stickers on it as there was adhesive gunk on the casing. Over all great product I would recommend.

  29. Bam420 –

    Best router on the market in my opinion plus it comes with a hard drive built in. I have my first time capsule from when they first released and still have it bridged I just wanted to update to one with ac wifi and more memory

  30. hudson02 –

    Good product and hopefully it will last longer than the last

  31. AppleLover –

    Easy and fast to move and access files. Faster WiFi on top of that. Great product.

  32. Rudy –

    Skeptical at first but after researching we decided this would be worth our investment, Best Buy offered a refurbished unit at a good price with a warranty. It’s very easy to set up, use and blends in with our decor.
    With the internal memory and ability to back up our other Apple products made this investment a home run.

  33. BGEEZY –

    Great addition to my apple wireless network. I love it.

  34. FX35SUV –

    Replaced my Airport Express in order to be able to use Time Capsule capabilities and it worked like a charm. Excellent product easy to use.

  35. otherguy41 –

    This product was easy to set up and great but at the 1 year point, it’s started to fail. I’ve had an Apple airport previously for 7 years and never had issues so I assume that the issue is with the refurbished process that Best Buy has. Also, the product was slightly dirty when I received it from Best Buy. I would never purchase a refurb unit from Best Buy again.

  36. TechScotty –

    This was a replacement, my previous one lasted 5 years and was easy to set up. This one was easily setup with regard to WiFi, but I could never get the hard drive portion to function to back up the system. No idea why this unit was originally returned but it wasn’t fixed despite being certified refurbished. I returned the unit and won’t do that again.

  37. Ivan –

    I was hesitant to buy a refurbished device after reading very few negative reviews but I took a chance and boy am I pleased. The unit itself was in very good condition, hooked it up it was already configured so I reset it back to factory defaults and the setup was really easy. I’ve been buying Apple products for the last 2 years and I now know why people love Apple so much, I’m a new fan and I’ve completely switched from the MS world to Mac World. For $199.00 I am beyond happy right now. Thank you Best Buy!!!

  38. SonnyFlorida –

    The Airport Time Capsule works flawlessly and is easy to set up and get going. I had other devices to save my data but nothing measures up to this.

  39. dbaker –

    Works like a brand new one and saved a hundred dollars

  40. Ivanchi –

    I was a little hesitant to buy refurbished but I took a chance. Package came in, it was well packaged, the device a little scratched. Had to do a factory reset and couldn’t believe how easy the set up was. I’m relatively new with Apple products and understand why they are so well liked now. I definitely recommend taking a chance on refurbished, it hasn’t failed me yet.

  41. Donnab –

    I love how many times the external drive backs up my folders everyday very easy.

  42. prissy –

    I love this product it backs up your files so fast

  43. ExcellentProtector –

    This hard drive works fine, just wish the connector had of been included.

  44. Kelly –

    I bought this apple tune capsule to back up my computer. It works awesome.

  45. Wichawd –

    Probably the best router ever made. Discontinued by apple, but only missing a few of the features in newer competitive models.

  46. Worm –

    Paid for Time Capsule but received plain ol’ Airport Express without hard drive.

  47. Mark –

    Glad to see your online store had one of these hard to find products. Love this for back-ups! SUPER EASY to use!

  48. IvanRayo –

    it’s an ok router, I use a Linksys but I use it for storage for all my macs at home. Can also be installed on PCs.

  49. Igwe –

    needed low cost multi functioning router. this is perfect!

  50. Mohsin –

    Easy to use and install -and setup I Highly recommended.
