Hi Alan, Daniel would have created/setup for you a Airport Time Capsule "Simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi Network" for maximum range and compatibility. This Wireless Network works simultaneously on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
What that means is: WiFi is turned ON all your computers & devices they will all automatically connect to the Wireless Network's correct Band simultaneously. That is: Your iMacs & iPad will automatically connect to the 5GHz Band; your iPhone will connect to the 2.4GHz band of the Dual-Band Wireless Network. All on the same Network... One Network. On my Website I explain a Simultaneous Dual-Band 802.11n Wi-Fi Base Station and a tutorial how to. <http://ronnibrown.net/tutorials/simultaneous-dual-band/index.html> /Quote from my web page: Simultaneous Dual-Band 802.11n Wi-Fi Base Station. 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 and iPad. 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. /End quote from my web page: I hope that explains your Network more clearly to you.
