Transferring my Network from an Extreem onto Time Capsule
Can I keep the same Network name and function?
Yes. If you have an ethernet connection available for both your Extreme and Time Capsule WAN 'O' ports, you can also set up a 'roaming' network.

Thanks. Only one Ethernet connection on my Comcast Surfboard unit so don't know how to connect both. Maybe using some kind of splitter? But don't they connect via wireless? "Roaming network" I'll try to study more to see what my best option(s) are.
1. This is one option...
Surfboard -> Time Capsule WAN 'O'
Time Capsule (Lan) -> Extreme WAN 'O' port.
DHCP via the Surfboard, both TC and extreme in Bridged Mode and broadcasting the same SSID.
2. Second option
Surfboard -> Time Capsule WAN 'O'
Time Capsule -> Extreme WAN (Extend Wireless)
DHCP via the Surfboard, both TC and extreme in Bridged Mode and broadcasting the same SSID.
Correction.

Extreme in Extend (or Join) mode Wirelessly, as your needs are.
You can also use a switch to the SurfBoard and then connect both TC and Extreme WAN 'O' ports to the switch and broadcast same SSID, which would give you a roaming network.
