I have a 4th gen AirportExtreme and TimeCapsule and the TC is extending my wifi. I have the AE connected to my comcast modem and have it an assigned static. Then my TC extends the wireless. I have the TC on the same desk as my current 2010 Mac mini and it's connect via ethernet to the TC.
I'm currently downloading Diablo III and I'm hitting (rough average) 2.45 MB/S download. That's fast. On my other two systems, when connected via wifi, I could only get 1/1.5MB/S. I assume the AE and TC are connected faster/better than the wireless card to AE is.
I've also notice, with speedtest.net that the speeds are much faster as well.
Anyways, I'm sure it would work either way but, just thought I'd post this out here.
