Is it as simple as connecting a USB hard drive to the USB port on the (non-Apple) router (AT&T in Mom's case, NETGEAR in mine), it showing up as a connected drive and then assigning Time Capsule to use it to back up, wirelessly, to it?
I imagine there's more to it than that, but is the whole thing even possible (even if I have to figure out the specifics via Googling or help here)?
Notebooks physically connected to USB drives isn't ideal, and the wireless, never-have-to-think-about-it automatic backing up via Time Machine is really nice. If Apple isn't going to sell those Tim Capsule things anymore, I can "roll my own", right, with a USB drive and modern wifi router?
