Does this act as a Wireless Router as well?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The Time Capsule is a wireless and wired router with a hard drive to store data or make backups of your computer
Actually it's an Airport Extreme with a built in hard drive.
i'm trying to decide if i should use my Time Capsule 802.11n WiFi Hard Drive 1TB.... or my new XFINITY Wireless Gateway (Both Modem and Wireless Router) as my wireless router. Which wireless router will perform better XFINITY or my Time Capsule?
Which wireless router will perform better XFINITY or my Time Capsule?
It is impossible to answer without a full breakdown of the network and what you do with it.
It may not even be possible if the XFINITY wireless is not bridgeable.
And there is usually no real need to choose. If your modem router is supplied keep using it as router.
Plug the TC in by ethernet and run it in bridge mode (that is router bridge). But you can still use the wireless on the TC. Simply set it up the way you want and make sure the two do not interfere with each other.. you can do this by locking radio channels. You can use identical SSID (wireless name) and security on both and the clients will join to the strongest signal. But it is better to use this setup with the two separated by a few meters at least if not in different rooms.
