    WiFi vs. Ethernet

    Does anyone know all of the features you will lose when using ethernet vs. WiFi. I know printing can be a hassle since your not on the same wireless network as well as taking calls?. I was curious to know what other things I may miss out on going with ethernet since it's faster speeds. TIA

    Using older Time Capsule (802.11n) to extend wifi network

    Would it create a bottleneck in speeds in using an older Time Capsule that has 802.11n to extend my wifi network where my current Time Capsule is 802.11 a/c as well as all my devices? Would there be a way to set up the old time capsule in a way that amplifies my network without causing a speed...
