Possible ? : Time Capsule for backup connected to other router for Wifi?

[whitedragon101]

I have a time capsule that uses 802.11n but I also have an 802.11ac router that is much faster gathering dust. I want to have 802.11ac wifi speeds while still being able to backup to the Time Capsule automatically. Is this possible to connect the routers by ethernet in some configuration to achieve this?

Many thanks

Yes. Simply put...you'd set up the ac router as main router, connect the TC via ethernet, put it in bridge mode and turn off its wifi.

Yep, exactly the setup I have been using for over a year, flawless. You even get to use the additional Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule as additional wired access.
