Time capsule question

[mrskullfreak]

I just bought a new time capsule
I have a older time capsule 2010 model
Can I use both two extend my wifi?
My modem is upstairs with my main time capsule and my daughters iMac is down stairs and she gets a poor signal.

Yes. I recommend connecting over Ethernet or powerline networking if possible for the best connection.

How does that work when you have the older model involved?

Do you have to step down from ac to n with the model upstairs?

When connected to the newer model, you are capable of achieving AC speeds. When you connect to the older model, you would be limited by the speeds of wireless N and the backend connection to the main router.

I phoned Apple Support and they walked-me-through step-by-step in setting-up my new Time Capsule using my iPad Mini2. Why not give them a "ring"??

That's what I wondered. Thanks very much for your help.

No problem! Report back if you have any more questions regarding the AirPorts.
