How can you extend the signal range of time capsule

I have a time capsule in my office down stairs, and my apple tv upstairs, but the signal strength is very week (only one bar) so when I try to stream a movie is very slow. There is some thing I can do or buy to make the signal stronger??
Thank you.

You can add an AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network" to improve the wireless signal. Locate the AirPort Extreme approximately half way between the Time Capsule and the Apple TV.
Setup instructions are here:

    Do you mean copy it?  If so, see #18 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions  You'll need section 2 there.
    If you mean something else, please clarify.

  • How can I extend the wireless range on my BT Hub 3

    I currently have the BT hub 3 and find that as I have quite a rambling house and the broadband is located at one side rather than in the middle of the house I cannot get a signal in all areas. This is massively frustration for the children when they wish to do their homework in the peace of their own rooms - how can I extend the range, without having to pay through the nose, but easy enough for someone who is not massively technical? - Thanks in advance

  • How do you extend the reception range on a Time Capsule?

    Live in an older home and looking to extend the wifi range of my Time Capsule.  Any advice?

    You need to buy another Apple router.. express, extreme .. I guess even another TC.. and run it in extend wireless mode.. this is  just wireless repeater by another name.
    Better is to run ethernet and use a second Access Point.. AP which can be any brand under the sun. Faster and you can buy stuff that actually will cover the whole house.. the fact of the matter is, Apple Routers are NOT wifi power houses. They are mediocre at best.

  • How can i extend a wireless network with time capsule

    How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule? the router is connected on the bottom floor. want to boost the signal to a home office on the top floor, four flights up. connect time capsule via ethernet cable to iMac on 4th floor? Do I have to start a second wifi network or can I set it to just boost the one I have? thank you

    How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule?
    It all depends on what you mean by "extend".
    If you plan to "extend" by connecting the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using a wired Ethernet cable, this can be accomplished.
    If you were hoping to connect the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using wireless only, unfortunately the Time Capsule and Verizon products are not compatible for that purpose.
    Check with Verizon to see if they offer an "extender" or "repeater" that could be located very close to the Time Capsule.
    This would provide both more wireless coverage and also allow you to connect the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable from the "extender" or "repeater".

  • How can I change the settings in my time capsule to support UPnP?

    Trying to change the settings on my time capsule to support UPnP so I might remotely access 3rd party software.  Any suggestions?

    Apple routers do not support UPnP.  They do support NAT-PMP, but that requires that you manually enter in the port values to set up what is known as Port Mapping.
    But, first things first. is the Time Capsule set up as the DHCP and NAT router for the network, or do you have another router upstream from the Time Capsule on the network?
    Another way to ask the same question......what is the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?

  • How can I access the data on my time capsule remotely?

    I see the drive under the shared tab in Finder, but I cannot open it.  I am at school and need to access documents that are stored on my time capsule at home.  When I set everything up, I enabled "sharing over WAN" and everything and set up the password access. The software is up to date. How can I get into my drive? I tried logging into icloud.com, but the only apps I see are the standard contacts, notes, etc. HELP!!!!!!!

    You need to follow the BTMM via icloud instructions.
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
    There are plenty of other ways to do it.. but issues to do with Apple not using a dynamic DNS client so if your ISP does not allocate you a static public IP there is no way to find it, if the public ip rotates as they are designed to do hourly or daily.
    Do a google search, remote access time capsule..
    Or use the more like this on the right hand side... there are plenty of posts and even youtube video which go right through it.
    BTW your school system may simply block the port.. if I was a school IT admin.. I would. You are dragging files across to the internal school network bypassing the firewall.. that is unacceptable risk to the whole school system.

  • My ATV is full, how can I move the contents to my Time Capsule?

    My Apple TV is full (although some of its contents appear as other and I cannot see them). I have a MacBookPro and a Time Capsule. I back up my mac everyday, but what I want to do is to erase content from my ATV so I can download more in it. Is it possible to sync the content of the ATV directly to the time capsule? So I can have my library in the time capsule and don't get my mac's hard disk full either?
    Thanks!
    C.

    You could use custom syncing to sync only unwatched videos, that would delete them from the ATV once they've been watched through to the end, but they would remain in the iTunes library. You could also move your iTunes library to your Time Capsule if you want to free up space on your MBP hard drive.
    You would need to copy your library folder to the Time Capsule, then change the library location in iTunes preferences. Once you've confirmed everything is working properly, you can delete the files from your MBP. Regardless of where your library is located, it's a good idea to keep your files backed up to DVDs.

  • How can I view the files on my Time Capsule without using Time Machine?

    In the past Time Machine was backing up to a regular external disc and I could view the files easily. I'm new to the Time Capsule and not sure this is possible as I can't "find" the Time Capsule disc.
    Thanks for any tips

    The Time Capsule's drive appears as a network drive, so it doesn't show up as an external drive.
    To access to it, first make sure you are connected to the Time Capsule. Then, open a Finder window and you will see the Time Capsule's drive in the sidebar, under "Shared". Select it and you will be able to access to the files stored in the Time Capsule

  • How can I access the files on my time capsule?

    I bought this thinking it could be used as additional storage, like a hard drive only wirelessly.  It appears to be functioning as backup but I don't know how to access the files to see if it actually is.  Any advice?  When I click on time machine in the finder it just takes me to a folder that says Data with no entry for date modified.  Yet elsewhere it tells me it has been backing up every half hour or so.  Whats the deal?

    You do not access the backup file store directly.. you access it via Time Machine.. the files are not stored in a way you would directly access anyway.. all files are stored as a backup in a very complex structure.
    Read Q14-17 on how to use restore to get files out of the TM backup.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    If you want to access files on the TC, copy them directly to the TC .. don't use backups as a method of access to other devices.

  • How can I extend the range of my chart?

    I've asked this question before on here, and found that shift-clicking for more cells has usually worked, but I have now run into a new problem...
    My chart used to cover the range B5:P50. However, since moving a column it now only covers the cell range H5:P50. My chart is on a separate sheet. Usually if I want to add more to the range it will be downwards, so I just click on the chart, then click on the Main Sheet and shift-click to add more cells. Unfortunately, because the range I want is to the left of the highlighted area this time, I can't use shift-click.
    How can I extend the range of my chart so it includes cells to the left of the currently selected range? In Excel I'd be able to just type the range in a box somewhere, rather than all this GUI-based clicking and dragging which is actually more difficult! Is there somewhere I can just type the range in that I want?
    Thanks!

    "I want to add some series that are missing from the chart. How do I do that?"
    Here's a two step process to do that:
    Select the chart to show the the data selection on the associated chart.
    Click in the leftmost column of the data, and drag left to change (move) the selection (blue arrow) for the result below:
    Grab the control handle (small circle) at the bottom right corner of the selection, and drag  right, as indicated by the blue arrow.
    Result shown below.
    Reassign colours and do other formatting as desired.

  • Can somebody help how can I extend the carpet sample to fill out the hallway?

    I would need to extend the piece of capret sample to replace the old plane carpet. I'm pretty new to PS and have trouble with the crazy carpet patter plus the room is getting narrower.
    Can somebody give me some tips or any kind of help? I really appreciate it. Thank you!

    Ok, the question is how can i extend the range with
    my airport extreme base,
    With an Airport Express or another Airport Extreme
    I have A netgear WNP802, it
    has a repeating feature.
    Which won't work with your Airport Extreme
    < But i am wanting to have the
    netgear and the apple airport extreme talk to each
    other so that i can put the net gear in a seperate
    room to extend the range of signal. </div>
    This is not possible.
    How can i do this?
    You can't.
    Netgear and Apple use different chips which means they won't and can't talk to each other when it comes to extending networks.
