Can I add my AEX as an ETHERNET client to my time capsule

[dave999z]

I will soon get a time capsule. The only thing it does not have, which I need, is an audio jack so I can use airtunes. I have an old (circa 2004) airport express. I would like to set the airport express right next to the time capsule and add it as a client on the time capsule's ethernet network. I prefer to connect it via ethernet, than to just add the AEX as a wireless client of the time capsule, for two reasons: 1) if connected via ethernet the AEX is less likely to drop off the network for random reasons. 2) the AEX is old and I don't want it to slow down the time capsule's wireless network (every other wireless client of the time capsule will be 802.11n).

So I basically want to shut off the AEX's wireless capability, and just connect it via ethernet as a LAN client of the time capsule. Is this possible? Or is wireless the only way to add an AEX as a client to a network?

Thanks!!!

P.S. I searched but could not find a definitive answer on this.

shouldnt be a problem at all.

I tested it with my 802.11n AEX just connected to ethernet to a timecapsule as well.
I disabled wireless, enabled airtunes and was able to use it as i would if it were wireless.

so your method is good to go as far as i can tell.
launch airportutility, just disable wireless so devices dont try to connect to it or prevent any sort of signal interference/interruption.
then click on Music and enable airtunes.
