Q: Can an Airport Extreme be used to form a roaming network with Time Capsule?

I tried the on-line instructions  above to extend my Wi-Fi network with a roaming network but the graphics in the instrucions apparently show an earlier version of Airport Utility. Following the intent of the instructions, e.g., ethernet cable connection ports, etc., all I have achieved is a yellow flashing light on Airport Extreme. Airport Extreme has been reset to factory settings but it is not seen by the network.

 

Do I have it backward, for example, should the Airport Extreme be the base station and the TIme Capsule be the extended station?

 

What do you think I am doing wrong? Or, is this an impossible extension?

 

Thanks, Chad

Time Capsule 802.11n (4th Gen), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
