Buy longer Ethernet Cables or a pair of Homeplugs. A very simple and possibly free way of doing it if you are a sky customer. Order the sky wireless connector box they are giving them away free if you are a customer Connect the connector to your sky box using the included ethernet cable and configure the settings for the wireless connector ssid and password Move TC closer to the garden, and connect the wireless connector to one of the TC's ethernet sockets.
You can then configure the TC as I described above. However this method is slow, as you are have to convert wifi to ethernet, and back again which slows things down. If you want to invest a bit more, or IF your router supports it, but few do you can tell the TC to extend a wireless network but that usually only works if you have an apple airport express.
Do you know if I can do anything with that and the TC? Yes, I have. New Start Neil Member. Last edited: Jul 29, Any ideas? Azzin said:. You need to connect it via Ethernet initially to configure it. Thanks, I did that initially but I still couldn't figure out how to then make it wireless. It wanted to stay stuck with a wire.
How long have you had it? You get 90 days of telephone support from Apple, so if you've had it less than 90 days, give them a ring and they'll talk you through setting it up as you want. The Apple Time Capsule was first released February 29, Do you still have the manual you could refer to? This would be the best approach seeing you admitted you know very little about networking.
Nope, no manual. Gone long time ago. Ok, I just reset it and then connected the Ethernet to my computer. Then configured it to join existing wireless network, which it did. Then I took out the Ethernet cable, and wallah, it still had the green light on. So now, I moved it over towards the rear of the house and plugged it into a socket.
It still works. I just hope this extends my wireless range into the garden, which I'm off to check now. Thanks, JH. Page content loaded. Jul 27, AM in response to blark In response to blark.

The primary base station provides DHCP Services, while the extended base station will be configured to use bridge mode. If you are unable to build the recommended Roaming network, then a Wirelessly Extended Network is the next best option. The extended Wi-Fi base station must be moved to a location that is within Wi-Fi range of the primary Wi-Fi base station. All extended Wi-Fi base stations must be in direct range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.
Note: As a relay, the Wi-Fi base station must receive the data from one Wi-Fi base station, repackage it, send it to the other Wi-Fi base station, and vice versa. This method effectively cuts the throughput by more than half.
An For specific instructions on extending the range of your preferred network type, select from the list below:. Wi-Fi base stations: Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations You can extend the range of your Wi-Fi network by using AirPort Utility to set up wireless connections among several Wi-Fi base stations, or to connect them using Ethernet to create a roaming network.
Choosing between single versus multiple Wi-Fi base stations Before you add additional Wi-fi base stations to your network, you should consider whether or not you really need to. Multiple Wi-Fi base station network types Learn about the types of networks and how to choose between them. If you need to extend the range of your wireless network, which method should you use? You can add several extended Wi-Fi base stations to expand a roaming network. Wirelessly Extended Network WDS Published Date: November 30,
