I have just purchased one of the new vertical TimeCapsule's, a 2TB model and I have a couple of questions.
I am using this with my iMac for TM backups and I also wanted to use the wireless facility for all my other kit e.g. iPad, Apple TV etc. etc. I have my existing ISP supplied router/modem as gateway to the Internet with the TC connected by Ethernet to the ISP's router and with my iMac connected to the TC by Ethernet.
I updated the Airport utility which is now 6.3.1. There is no longer an option to join an existing network, just create a new network, extend a network or off, bridge is automatically selected if you create a new network.
Whilst setup was straightforward I am now left with two wireless networks i.e. the one set up via the ISP router/modem and the Time Capsule network.
What is the way forward here - to switch off wireless for the ISP router/modem and let the Apple device handle everything, continue with two separate networks or am I missing something here?
Any tips would be appreciated.
