Adding an Airport Express Node to Time Capsule?
I want to use an airport express to extend the range of my time capsule but can't see an obvious way to do it. Is there an easy way to do this? Any ideas are very much appreciated.
I’m confused

Inappropriate?i'm pretty sure you can do this by setting up the airport express as a bridge. haven't gone through the process in a while, but it was *somewhat* self-explanatory in the setup assistant. i had no difficulty keeping the network up and running once i got the set-up right ... even when nodes got unplugged and plugged back in.
keep in mind that your connection will be PAINFULLY slow when using the time capsule to wirelessly do time machine back-ups ... no idea why they don't use bonjour for this!?! My imac (160G) takes more than 24 hours. However, just for accessing files, it's pretty fast.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?The Airport Utility should have an option to 'extend an existing network'.
