Hi,

Just got my second TC (2nd gen) and have a few questions i need help with. I am no networking expert...

1. I would like to connect my TC to my router wirelessly. Then rather than connecting all my internet using devices to the router I would like them to connect to TC network. You are probably wondering why I dont just connect it directly to the ISP router, but I live in a student house and the router is downstairs and its not the best of environments for a TC!! So yeah, wirelessly boost the current network essentially (then I can password protect my network and get all the benefits of having it connected to the web)

2. I have an old TC that is full (500gb) is it best just to connect this to the new TC and run it as an external HD? or can i run them wirelessly alongside each other and connect to both? (guessing not but worth an ask!)

thanks for the help...much appreciated!

also, can some clear up exactly what guest networking is? is it simple password protection on your TC network?

Cheers,

Will
