Can I connect and old time capsule to a new airport extreme?

I use the old time capsule for back up and to stream music wirelessly. However, the music cuts in and out at times and is solid at other times. I suspect it is getting interference from neighboring wifi networks because I live in a town house and there are at least a half dozen networks in range. Can I buy an airport extreme and take advantage of it's dual band to stream the music on the 5 ghz band and connect the old time capsule to it and still use it for back up? I don't think I need a 2 tb drive and the old time capsule still works fine. I still have one or two b/g devices so I can't just switch the old time capsule to N only.

Thanks!

I have a 3+ year old MacBook. I've been using it w/ an older Airport Extreme with 'g' protocol. I know I have to install sofware to enable 'n.' What?

I'm going to buy the new Airport Extreme, because I now have two Macs that can use 'n' protocol. But I know my older Intel-based MacBook doesn't have the software to use 'n.' Where do I get it?

Possible to use older Airport Express with new Airport Extreme?

I have an older 802.11a/b/g Airport Express connected to a D-Link router and a Comcast modem. I'd like to upgrade to an Airport Extreme for the faster 802.11n speeds and to get rid of the D-Link. Can I then connect the older Airport Express to my stereo system across the room and wirelessly stream music to it? I'm concerned it may not be backward compatible as it only uses 802.11a/b/g and the newer Airport Express is 802.11n - will that be a problem?

If I get an airport extreme 802.11n as a wireless modem for a new i-mac, will it work with my old extreme 802.11G with 2 printers connected?

If I connect a new i-mac wirelessly to a new airport extreme 802.11n, then put my old airport extreme 802.11g in a different room with my 2 printers plugged into it. Will the new i-mac be able to send to the printers?

Does the AirPort Extreme Work Everywhere?

I'm thinking of buying the AirPort Extreme but I am just wondering after I install it to my computer, that wherever I take it, will it give my computer access to the internet or does it only work when there is a cable connecting it to somewhere? And if it helps I have the Newest Macbook Pro. Thank You for your Help! :)
