[QUOTE="mongoloido, post: 663899, member: 33756"] One thing I read about, but have not tried, is to set up your Time Capsule/ Airport Extreme Base Station as your Network setup. With your old router (Netgear, Linksys, whatever), connect it to your TC/AEBS and create a second network through your existing network. Have all of your non-"n" capable devices (Wii, iPod Touch, etc...) connect to your old router's network, and have all of your N capable devices (MBP, etc..) connect through TC/AEBS. From what I read, having a non-N device connected to your TC/AEBS will slow down everything on the network, whereas connecting it to a second router that's connected to your base station will not.... That's just what I read though. Not sure if it's true, or how to do it, but I've held onto my Linksys router just in case. [/QUOTE]
