I am using a setup exactly like this in my home. I have a RB750G that I have my internet connection connected to and do my firewall/routing and anything else I want to play around with on the RB platform, then I connect my Airport Extreme in bridge mode for my wireless and extra gig ports. I got the extreme for the timecapsule option for my macbooks. Works great!<br>
