What do I have to disable in my wireless router modem for the TC to work as my wireless access point for my broadband?

I have a Netgear wireless modem router and this question section talks about disabling some aspects of these type of devices. This appears to be when you wish the TC to act as the access point and then have it connected using a wire to the Netgear device to the internet. What do I need to do or disable?

Can I have a separate NAS drive plugged into a separate wireless router that would then connect through the TC router to the internet for FTP

I want to buy a NAS drive with FTP server. I gather the TC doesn't have FTP serving capabilities but if I buy a separate NAS drive and plug that into an existing wireless router I own could that then communicate with the wireless TC which would be connected to my cable modem and the NAS drive could act as the FTP server.

External hard drive or TC?

Would it be better to just purchase an external hard drive, connect it to my desktop, and share it over the network or purchase a TC? I currently have an ATT 2Wire Model 2701HG-B dsl modem.

Can I plug working ethernet cable into TC, and use it as a wireless router?

I am living in a university where internet is supplied via an ethernet cable plugged into the wall at one end, and computer at the other. I currently have no modem/router/anything other than a hole in the wall and an ethernet cable.

Am I right to assume that I can plug that ethernet cable from the wall into the back of a TC, and it would then act as a wireless router for my room, no other parts necessary?

Can I use another router with the time capsule?

Can I use another router with the time capsule? I really just want to use the time capsule as a wireless external hard drive and wireless printer station. Also do I have to directly connect the time capsule to the modem and/or other router?

Thanks.
