Hi Stephen, 1. Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup 2. Click the Internet icon. 3. Internet Connection Make sure that Connect Using: Ethernet Connection Sharing: is set to "Off (Bridge Mode)”
4. Click Airport - Wireless Wireless Mode would be "Create a wireless network" Wireless Network Name....the name that you assign for this network Radio Mode: you want a compatible mode that will allow b, g and n clients to connect Choosing automatic will setup your Airport extreme and Time Capsule to a single wireless network that uses the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands simultaneously Channel...Automatic Security...WPA/WPA2 Personal Password....your password for your TC wireless network Password...repeat password Click Update to save settings. Explanation: Some Wi-Fi devices use the 2.4GHz wireless band, including iPhone, iPod touch, and devices using 802.11b/g. Other devices can use either 2.4GHz or the higher-speed 5GHz band, such as the latest 802.11n-based Mac computers and Apple TV. Instead of choosing one of the bands, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule now operates simultaneously on both bands, and your multi-band devices automatically use the best available band. This means all your Wi-Fi devices get the fastest possible wireless performance and the best possible range. If you use the factory default radio mode option, known as 'Automatic', both bands will have networks that use the same network name which is also known as SSID, the name that appears in the AirPort menu. If you need more information email me “Offlist” & I’ll email you my Tutorial showing you how to Setup a Dual-Band Base Station Network.
