Q: I finally figured out how to set up my new AirPort Time Capsule as an extended network, but I am unsure which network to connect to.
Do I connect to the TC or the Netgear? They are both listed in my wifi networks.
I originally had created a new network and it took me awhile to realize why my wifi was still not improving and how to undo and correct it.
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

But even though I followed the instructions on "setting up and configuring an extended wireless network"(apple support), I still see 2 networks, my Netgear network and the AP network.
That is correct and not a problem.
If you want to see one wireless network.. (there is no technical reason for this).. the solution is to use the same name for the wireless network in the airport as in the netgear.. same password, same security setting..
This is called a roaming network.. the computer or device will connect to whichever device has the best signal without caring if it is the airport or the netgear..
