[QUOTE="tape, post: 1558616, member: 178954"] Just got 2T airport TC. Dirs in that tiny little book not real helpful. I plugged cat 5 from existing NetGear into the input of TC. I then connected iMac ethernet port to on of the other ports on TC and began a backup. After MANY hours, only @ 175 GB copied over, but more importantly, my Time Warner Cable internet was down. Literally spent 6 hrs trying to get the whole system to work. I initially tried to set TC up as sole router, but not able to connect to internet. Finally went back to original NetGear as main router and will use TC as a backup for Time Machine and hopefully as router extender. So now that I am in the process of redoing my first backup, I am trying to figure out what the correct setting for the TC should be. I just accessed the TC via Airport Utility and see the internet is not connected to TC, but it just turned green for a connection, I guess. Why the delay? There were times it never turned green. When I choose to edit the settings of the Base station, I am unsure of what they should be. For example, when I choose Wireless, all I see is OFF or extend a network or create a new one. How do I just choose my existing. I guess I could go on and on with complaints---so, does anyone have a list of what the setting should be for the various windows when trying to edit the base station? thanks [/QUOTE]
