I ordered a Time Capsule to replace my AEBS since I'd like to wirelessly back up the Macbook Pro I just purchased. My original thought was to replace the AEBS and sell it or give to a family member, but now I wonder if there is some benefit I'm not aware of in adding the TC to the existing network and AEBS, which is the fast ethernet (n) version.
Anyone have ideas?
The only thing I can think of is using it to extend the network, although I'm not certain of the configuration on that--I can do basic network configurations, but am no networking wiz. Also, if I did that, should I connect the Time Capsule to the cable modem I have and put the AEBS somewhere else, or leave the AEBS connected to the cable modem and put the Time Capsule somewhere else?
