extend range
Just got a Time Capsule. Am serving up WiFi for a main building and a guest house, which are about 30 feet away from each other.
How Can I extend the range of the signal by using a separate 802.11n capable router? My intention is to use the second router to 'Join' the existing network, and there by extending the range- Asked by Ron D from Albuquerque

Can the Time Capsule be hooked up directly to my iMac and be used as a wireless network extender at the same time?
I have a Airport Express hooked to my DSL modem in another room and use my Time Capsule as network extender. The Time Capsule is in the office with my iMac. Is it possible to use the Time Capsule as a wireless network extender and also hook it up to my iMac via "hard-wire" so that I get the fastest data transfer speed available. Being that it sits right next to the iMac, I don't mind hooking it up directly to it.

can i plug the time capsule into an existing network and use only the time capsule feature?
I have an existing wireless/wired network and dont plan to change as I dont believe the time capsule supports loopback or an external WOL command to internal network. If i bought this item, would i be able to connect it to my existing LAN and just use it as a time capsule without mucking around with my current router.

Can the time capsule be connected to a hard wired ethernet network to act as a wireless access point?
I have an n-wireless router connected to a cable modem. My bedroom is in a deadspot, but I have a wired ethernet connection close by. I've tried a wireless range expander and that won't get it there.(I have an 18" concrete wall it is trying to penetrate)

I currently use an Airport Extreme, if I get one of these , how will this fit in to my network? Can I use the AE to extend the wireless network ?
iMac 24 patched direct to Airport Extreme, Aiport Express on 1st floor, used to extend network - how best to add a Time Capsule to this wireless setup. For example, could the TC be used as the primary wireless router with the AE used to extend the network (in addition to the Express!!)?

If using the time capsule as a router, can I limit who on the network has access to the hard drive portion of it?
I am interested in getting the Time Capsule to use as a wireless router in my house to replace the piece of junk one I have and to have large storage capacity. My problem is I have roommates who would also be using the same network, but I wouldnt want them to have access to the data I would store on it. Is there any way I can configure it to work as a router for all roommates but limit access to its hard drive/storage capabilities to just myself?
Furthermore, if instead I were to continue to use my old router (a linksys), is there any way to set up the Time Capsule as a wireless repeater to strengthen the signal in my bedroom on the other side of the house?
One more thing....does anyone have any experience using this router outside of the US? Ive got decent/normal internet connectivity from my ISP but I wouldnt want to get a time capsule if it could potentially not be compatible with a non-US service provider. Thanks.- Asked by Tim W from Chester

Will the time capsule function within an existing wirless network as a bridge only.
I have a very new and efficient wireless network currently, non-Mac. I would like to utilize the time capsule as a wireless backup only. If time capsule also extends the wirless range of my current network that would be a plus.

Time Capsule vs my campus wireless?
I'm wondering about the automatic backup feature, primarily.
I live on a college campus with a wireless network that works just fine. In order to use the automatic backup feature of Time Capsule, would I have to disconnect from my campus wireless and connect to the time capsule (thus disabling my internet)? I'm not allowed to set up my own wireless networks, so using the Time Capsule as my wireless router point wouldn't work.- Asked by Robert S from Columbia

Network not visible when using bridge?
Ok, so I've got this rather extensive setup.
Cable modem-linksys router-bridge-bridge-Time Capsule. The linksys router provides DHCP. The Time Capsule provides wifi.
Here's the problem. When I connect another computer (A windows xp machine) to a bridge that bridges back to the network, I can't see my mac, nor the Time Capsule. If I take that bridge out and connect via WIFI, I can now see the time capsule and the mac. Does the time capsule not provide any wired access to the time capsule, only wifi? Also, any idea why my mac isn't visible on the network to the PC? Hope this makes sense...- Asked by Paul B from Tucson

Using Time Capsule with an existing network
I'm wondering if the Time Capsule will be right for my home and current setup;
At the moment, my main router (with wifi) is on the ground floor. The middle floor has an ethernet switch (connected to the main router) and the top floor has an ethernet switch (connected to the switch on the middle floor).
If I connected the Time Capsule to the switch on the top floor, could I use it as a wifi hotspot? (I barely get a signal on the top floor, so it'd be great if I could)
Would I be able to access the Time Capsule backup from any floor? Even if I was connected to the main routers' wifi and not the Time Capsule wifi?
Could I connect devices by ethernet to the Time Capsule? If I do, could that device connect to all other devices on the network or just devices on the Time Capsule?
What security do I have available to stop other people on the network from accessing my backup on the Time Capsule and the settings for the Time Capsule?- Asked by Joseph H

Is there a way to connect my time capsule to the hotspot created by my iphone 5 on the LTE network (I have no ethernet cable for DSL/WAN)
I have read that the airport express may be able to be used as the wireless bridge (connect to the iphone hotspot and then into the TC) but I can't find a definitive answer. If the AE can do it I would have thought the TC could but I can't find a way.
Internet is only provided by LTE through Iphone 5
I want to use my TC as a source for ethernet and extend/or create wifi
I need to get an ethernet connection for two home theater products that don't support wifi- Asked by Brad T from Saskatoon

I'm confused by the "wireless" claim for the Time Capsule.
As a reference point, my HP 3310 All-In-One printer is wireless. It "finds" my home network automatically - no connections to a router are necessary.
Why would Time Capsule have to connect to my Comcast router to function wirelessly? I don't understand why. I don't need it as a network. I just want it as a completely wireless (i.e., no cables) backup hard drive.
Is that possible with Time Capsule and if not why not (ref HP printer). Thanks for your help.

I am in the Air Force and stationed in Germany at the moment. I am currently using my landlord's wireless. How can I extend it with my Time Capsule?
They only have dial-up out here, so my landlord got satellite internet. I have tried to ask them to give me a ethernet hook-up but they won't because it would be too much installation, so I have to use their internet using there wireless. I would like to pick up their wireless and rebroadcast it with my time capsule so my home network will still function without having to switch everything to their network and be able to get a stronger network and also be able to backup my iMac.
