Q: Direct Connect  Two Time Capsules together with Ethernet.

I have TWO Time Capsules  ( One upstairs providing Time Machine backup to IMAC #1 )  and  (One downstairs providing Time Machine Backup to IMAC#2)

 

I would like to extend the wireless network portion of this to reach the whiole house with ONE wireless network. I know I can EXTEND the network, but my question is can Connect the two time capsules together via Ethernet cable ( my house is pre wired).  This will essentially ensure that the two devices have a solid connection instead of relying on WIRELESS.

 

 

Any reasons to NOT do this?

 

Time Machine will be used differently on the two devices.

 

Thanks
