Can I use a Netgear Aircard 801S on my Apple Time Machine wifi network as the internet gateway

I would like to use an Aircard 810S 4GX as a router to connect my existing Mac based network, I currently use an Apple time Capsule as my wifi network and back up drive and would like to know if the Aircard can be configured & connected into the same wifi network

    AirCard Smart Cradle has 5 lan ports which you could use one to feed another device in AP mode.

      Thanks Searay,

      Is there any other way such as configuration to the Time Machine or Netgear to make the timemachine join the NetGear 810 routers wifi network rather than spend twice the cost of the 810 to get an ethernet port to connect it to the time machine to?

      Any advice would be appreciated.
