Can I use my Time Capsule as a bridge?
I work in China, my wife and I both have MacBook Pros (running OS 10.5.8) and until recently were using the Time Capsule (1TB Dualband) as our wireless router. Now we've moved into an apartment with thick, concrete walls and the signal just isn't reaching from the office, where the Time Capsule is, to the bedroom (where the other desk is).
I know I can extend the network with an Airport Express, but I can't buy one where I am here in China. I'd like to just get a wireless router, something with a little more muscle, connect that to the ethernet hub, then put the Time Capsule in the bedroom as a bridge for my wife's MacBook.
Any thoughts on how I could make this work? Is there a cleaner solution? I've tried moving the Time Capsule closer to the bedroom but I've gone as far with it as is practical without drilling a huge hole through the concrete wall to run an ethernet cable into another room.
