(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello, loads of people have asked me how do you get such a good connection when on a bad connection and I want to share it with you.

You Need:
An internet DSL router
Airport Utility(MAC or an WINDOWS equivalent)
1 or more ethernet cables
Apple Time Capsule
Apple Airport Extreme/Express ( one at least )

Method:
1. Connect your time capsule to your router with an ethernet cable into the WAN port on the time capsule.

2. Open up Airport utility easily found via 'spotlight' and select your Time Capsule. Go to manual setup and select the wireless tab. Give your network a name, choose a type of wireless security (I recommend WPA2) and select a good password. Make sure your radio mode has some level of 802.11n, whether it is backwards compatible with 802.11b/g or is n-only.

3. Finally, simply check the box that says, “Allow this network to be extended.” You are now done with the main base station.

4. For a secondary base station you have to go to Wireless Tab, select “Extend a Wireless Network.” You must then fill in the name and password of the wireless network you created with the main base station.

5. Finally, if you want to allow additional devices to connect to this remote base station, check the box that “Allow wireless clients.” Then click “Update” to save the changes.

Before hand you should strategically place your time capsule and Airport Express/Extreme for the best results.

I hope I helped and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Nice tut, wireless N has a range of about 100 meters I believe, right? I just set up a wireless N router the other day in my house, much better than my old verizon piece of crap

Yeah i have a G router and with and N base station sending a 100% signal to another N base station just magnifies it and sends it way further than the house. And now i can still be on the internet on ma phone even when driving away from home :lol:

My friend told me not to unplug the verizon router because it would make me lose phone service... and verizon router fails at port forwarding... It says I forwarded the ports, but the ports aren't open. You know anything about that?

I've just got 2 Netgear N routers bridged with WDS in my house. That works pretty good.
