How do I daisy chain two time capsules as a wired router and use the hard of both as back-up?
I have a newer time capsule tower and an older time capsule that I wasn't using. The older TC works fine I just decided to upgrade about 6 months ago. I decided to run an Ethernet cable from the room where the TC tower is to the room where the TV in order to create a wired connection to the TC tower. I wanted to use my Apple TV with a wired. In addition, I am in the process of buying a Channel Master DVR plus and besides wanting to use it with older TC wired also wanted to use the older TC’s hard drive to extend the recording time of the DVR. Will this work? If so, my questions are related to setup of all. I assuming I plug the Ethernet cable into the LAN port of the TC tower and the other end into the WAN port of the older TC. Is this correct? What settings do I need on the TC tower and the older TC to make this work as a wired connection? Do I need to turn off the wireless connection on the older TC? Will I just need to plug in the DVR into the older TC’s USB port to use its hard drive? Thanks for your assistance.
