Home Forums Networks & Cross-Platform Networking Confused re modem for Airport Extreme MC340LL/A

OK. I've got a refurb Airport Extreme MC340LL/A. I plan to replace an old UFO Airport Extreme.
Up here in rural Maine, dial-up is all we got. So, I'll need a modem to use the new Airport Extreme. Right? If so, what do I buy?
In looking for an easy out...is it possible to use the old Airport Extreme for 802.11b/g modem dial-up access and use the new one for everything else i.e. printer, backup drive and such at 802.11n speed?

Thanks

I got a reply to this via a member of the local MUG. Sounds like a good solution which I will try tonight.

If I understand what you are asking, instead of connecting to the old AirPort wirelessly, I suggest you wire the two AirPorts together. The old one connects to the internet via dial-up, but has it's wireless network turned off. Connect the two with an ethernet cable and use the new one for everything: printer, backup drive, and internet (via the old AirPort). This will take some special configuration on both AirPorts, but should work nicely. This will mean you won't have to switch wireless networks to change between connecting to the internet or connecting to your printer and backup drive.

sounds like a start. No experience with using a dialup ufo other than directly connected though. Suggest you set the newer one in bridge mode. NAT/router breakup will probably cause problems otherwise.
