[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1506829, member: 38928"] Part of the issue here is that out of the box the extreme and the TC both want to run as full DHCP servers and act as the main router. After all the TC is justo an extreme with a hard disk. I'd have gone for a TC and an Airport Express but that's by the by. You need to hard reset the extreme. Then disconnect your iMac from the network, disable wifi and connect the extreme by Ethernet cable to your iMac. Now use airport utility to configure it to extend an existing network (the one from your TC) and put it in bridge mode. This will disable the DHCP server and prevent it clashing withe the TC. Once it's connected wirelessly in bridge mode you can disconnect it from your iMac, relocate it to wherever you need it and turn wifi back on on your iMac. [/QUOTE]
