Purchased 2TB TC two days ago

I purchased a 2TB TC two days ago.  I currently own a vintage 2010 1TB TC.  I upgraded my MBP 17"  to 1TB hard and plan on backing it up to the 2010 1TB TC.  However, when I connected the 2TB to my network it appears as DATA and the 1TB appears as Time Capsule.  It appears this way when I open TM Preferences and select disk.  In any event I cannot backup any of the 3 MBP that I want to back up to the two

i'm sure there are very few corner cases where this isn't true, but the new 'tower' AC will run circles around the verizon wifi
i disable wifi on the verzion box to reduce in home interference
so the 256air is the only computer you want to backup to the 1tb, right? yes, the first back wirelessly is fine will just take longer, start it when you know you don't need to use the laptop or before you go to sleep
to connect the 1tb back to the network, factory reset it as well (don't worry, backups are not affected, only network settings).
when you open airport utility, you'll should see it in the top left under 'other wifi devices' so go ahead and connect it to your network. i believe the simple setup will force you to 'extend' the network, which is fine, because once it is connected, go to airport utility, click on the 1tb and under the wireless tab, set 'network mode' to off - note, during setup it might give you an option to setup the 1tb as a wireless bridge, if so just choose that and then you won't need to do the last setup about turning network mode to off.
