Can I use the old time capsule as a wired 'wireless access point' to extend a network?
Hi all,
Here's my question. I'm moving to a new, larger home and I'm doubting whether the following setup will work:
- In the living room I want to put the new - yet to be bought - Apple Airport Extreme. This one creates a wireless network.
- At the other end of the house my good old Apple Time Capsule. I want to connect it via Ethernet to the Apple Airport Extreme in the living room (there's a large space underneath the floor).
- I want the Time Capsule to act as a wireless access point, so the create a wireless network with the same network name / pw as the Airport Extreme.
- I want the Time Capsule to remain my wireless backup point.
Do you think this setup will work? Will my MacBook / iPad automatically choose which network to join (both have the same network name)? And will the wireless backup still work?
Thanks very much!
Pieter.
