Q: Wireless wi-fi extenders?

I have a primary Rogers modem/router as a base station, I want to add wireless extension unsing my Time Capsole.    Can this be done, and yet still keep access and usage to the ports on the Time Capsole?

    This can be done only if you connect the Time Capsule to the Rogers modem/router using a permanent wired Ethernet connection.

     

    Configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless network using the exact same wireless network name, same wireless security settings and same password as the Rogers network.

     

    As a final step, insure that the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode.
