How can I set up my home network using Airport Extreme and Time Capsule

How can I set up my home network using Airport Extreme and Time Capsule? Our home is a 2-story and pretty big. We have a lot of electronics that use wifi so in return we get a lot of bad connections. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:)

The best way by far is to run ethernet as a kind of backbone between the two stories.. on one storey setup the AE and the other you setup the TC.


I have no idea if one is the main router or not.. or both are bridged.. that doesn't really matter.. the principle is.. one router per network. So whichever is not the main router change to bridge mode.


Both should create a wireless network. You can use roaming setup, where both use identical names and identical security. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260
