Using Airport to extend my nextwork
We currently have a Airport Extreem (version 7.6.4) as our base wifi router connected directly to our modem in the basement. Then, I usually use a Ethernet to connect to my Mac (also downstairs), which has a Western Digital My Book Essentials connected to it which I use for all my iphotos, videos, etc so I don't have to keep them on my mac.
Then, via an Ethernet cord, I extend my network to the upstairs area where we have a Netgear WiFi router. We use it to run most our upstairs devices (xbox, laptops, apple tv, blue rays, etc...)
For Christmas, I received a Airport Time Capsule 3t.
I'm looking for the best use of all of this.....thinking I'll still need an extended wifi network due to the size of our house. However, I would like to eliminate the Netgear and just us the Extreem and Airport TC and perferablly have just one network (vs. right now it looks like we have two different networks and we have to select which one to use).
Finally, is there a way to back up the WD My Book with the TC so all my pictures, songs, and videos will be backed up and I don't have to put them back on the Mac?
