That was a nice hope, but the iBook on WLAN B still does not see the TC for backup on WLAN A. And when the Intel iMac is on WLAN B, it does not see the TC for backup either. But both get to the Internet no matter what cabling configuration I try. The iMac is fine when I select WLAN A in AirPort. By the way, I recabled the AP Express to the Verizon router, so that it and the TC are peers again. And I turned the Verizon WiFi "on," using DHCP. That makes no change. So I still need to find new settings for the AirPort boxes. I sent my original post to my son living out of town. When I talked with him, in two seconds he said we need to let the Verizon router do the DHCP to the client machines, just as you indicated in your first answer to me. But to put this generic plan in motion, he wants to get into my AirPort Utility on his next visit to adjust settings in the TC and AP Express. Maybe in a day or so. Will let you know. Maybe I'll give up on this and just run one WLAN with the TC set to 802.11, both g and n, in the 2.4 GHz band, giving up the advantages of the 5GHz band for the faster machines.
