Hi, In addition to what Sabahattin mentioned, it is entirely possible that your network may slow down while a Time Machine Backup is in progress. The processor on the TC is likely reserving some bandwidth for your backup process as well as processing your network traffic. To manipulate settings on your TC, go into Airport Utility,, Interact with the Network Group then VO-space on your Time Capsule. A pop-over will open with a Scroll area and and Edit button. The Scroll area will give an overview of your Time Capsule info and the Edit button allows you to modify more settings. If you have the Guest network turned on, that will also rob some of your bandwidth, so, I'd just turn it off which is accomplished by unchecking the appropriate box from within the Wireless pane of these settings. As Sabahattin and others suggested, check to make sure that your Cable modem is in Bridge mode. Your ISP is usually the only one that can re-configure the Cable modem in this fashion. The reason that you want this done, is that when it is supplying DHCP and NAT services, so likely is your TC which can cause Double NAT errors. NAT is Network Address Translation which helps direct network traffic wherever it needs to go. The network speed advertised by your ISP is a maximum, not a constant. My ISP maintains that I have a 100 MB connection, although, I'd venture to say that I seldom see that kind of performance. When using Cable modems, you also need to realize that the bandwidth is shared amongst a number of people in your neighbourhood using the same ISP. You can ask for a dedicated bandwidth from some providers, but this usually is reserved for business clients and is far more expensive.
HTH. Later...
