Well you don't need to use the Wifi, if the airports are connected via ethernet? How do the Airport's connect to the Verizon router? Ideally your wifi network should look like this: ---Internet--->[verizon router]====(wired connection)===[Airports] ))))))) [clients] This gets you fast connections on your backbone. > Also, would that force me > to run the Time Capsule at the slower 802.11g instead of n? > No. That's determined by what clients are connected. > On the Airport side, would I be changing the setting in Connection > Sharing, or doing something with SNMP? No. Not SNMP. This is in the section about getting addresses, so it will mention DHCP. I'm not completely familiar with the interface, since my airports are the old UFO style which don't work with the new Airport setup software. I believe they call this bridge mode. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
