Yes, I am well aware for the need for powered hubs.

Severin,

I would suggest only using a "Powered USB Hub" connected to the Time Capsule's USB Port, if you are connecting an External Drive to the Hub, a printer would be ok as it doesn't require much power.

Cheers,
Ronni

Can the USB port on Airport Extreme or Time Capsule accommodate a hub? I can see problems in setting up more than one device from the way Airport Utility asks for the setup information.

Hi Severin,

From Apple's Time Capsule page:

"And if you want to share both a printer and an additional hard drive, you can. Just connect a USB hub to Time Capsule. Whatever the combination, Time Capsule divides and conquers."

So yes, you can connect a hub and then connect external hard drives/printers to the hub.

Cheers,
Ronni
