Will Apple Time Machine work as a UPC Router?

    As the title asks?

    I think no, because the UPC comes in via cable and not an ethernet cable so ill probably have to have the two connected via a hard wire.

    Can I have the two connected via wireless? (have the time machine in a corner somewhere?)
    or can I connect my Macbook Pro to both wirelessly?

    If I get the new Apple TV can I stream from the time machine to the Apple TV?

    If not what speeds would I get copying a movie from the time machine to my Macbook Pro?

    My OH has a Dell Inspiron 1545 with Windows 7, can she wirelessly back up the way my Mac would or does she have to just copy and paste her stuff manually?

    Thanks for all the replies!

    I have upc modem connected (via ethernet) to my time capsule and time capsule providing my wireless throughout the house.
    My apple tv then connects wirelessly to time capsule.
    My Macs backs up to time capsule wirelessly using time machine application. Not sure if time machine is available for windows. If its not and you drag and drop your windows stuff, make sure you partition the time capsules hard drive. One partition for time machine backup storage and one for other storage. I made this mistake with an older one and it wiped my backups!
