how do i use my time capsule and extend the network with airport express

I have a new iMac and Time Capsule, how do i extend the network with airport express. My time capsule does have a guest net work, and logins and passwords? I am no computer person. So for me it would have to be spelled out.

Time Capsule 802.11n (4th Gen), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

This has been automated in the v6 utility. I am used to doing it manually in v5 utility which is also fairly easy.


Apple doco is also good to read.

Note.

You cannot extend the guest network unless everything is up to date 7.6.3 firmware. And that is only with the TC as the main router in the network.


All apple routers can be configured as the main wireless or as the extend wireless.. so don't worry if a post uses express or extreme or TC.. they are for wireless, the same thing.
