I called Apple TWICE and declined to buy their “support” service. Credit to Apple for their tech support trying to help me anyway, BUT they expressly denied that my problems (all PCs dropping the network connection to Time Capsule, even after they worked fine for a year) were related to their software. Coincidence that it all started after I upgraded to 7.4.1? I found this post and downgraded it to 7.3.2, and VOILA! Everything works fine.

This one worked! Clearly the firmware for the Time Machine is the culprit. Thanks for the help!

Both times it bricked my Time Casule! I had to downgrade and stay with the previous version to get it working again. From reading the forums, it appears this happened to many, many users. Shame on Apple for releasing such a buggy firmware upgrade.

Under 7.3.2 wireless NAS performance with my Time Capsule was so bad I would plug my MacBook Air into the ethernet for Time Machine backups. After upgrading the 7.4.1 the problem went away and backups are speedy now.

I use my Time Capsule as both router and NAS. No problems. No complaints with the firmware update.

My internet connection drops when I use more than 1 computer at a time for a long (?) period (2-3 hours). All started after that upgrade. I restarted my Time Capsule and it’s a little better now but it still drops at least once every 2 days using. Won’t Apple fix it? I’m too lazy to procede this downgrade ;)

I had the exackt same problem on my ape after updating to 7.4.1, thankfully its easy to downgrade it.
