Hi - I'm having real problems with my TC and despite looking I can't seem to find a concrete answer to my problem so thanks in advance for any help 
For the first backup (which took about 10 hours) I connected my MB and TC via Ethernet - this worked fine although it was slow. I disconnected the TC and shut-down my Mac but my Mac just hung.
I then re-setup the TC as an addition to my existing wireless setup. The setup I have is a O2 broadband using a Netgear wireless router. The TC was successfully added as part of an extended network and I manually choose a back-up to check all was working. The TC at this point never went beyond simply displaying 'preparing' - I think this is because my MB crashed after the initial Ethernet back-up and I should try erasing the TC and starting again.
What I would like help with is the following:
1) I'm assuming my new MB (bought last week) will connect to the TC via 'n' rather than 'g', however because I have simply extended my network my TC is connecting via the slower Netgear router hence the poor speed and possibly why my MB never gets beyond 'preparing'?
2) Can I turn off the wireless on my Netgear and use it only as a router plugged into the TC via Ethernet therefore giving me a faster connection or should I buy a new router that supports 'n' and just ditch the Netgear?
3) If you recommend the former, I'm assuming I need to setup the TC as a new wireless connection via the Airport Utility.
Any help would be gratefully received as my TC is currently very slow and I only have 30GB's to back-up!!
Cheers
