Stop it now.
Wipe the TC .. actually go to the disk tab and erase the TC and start again.
This time use Ethernet.. if your MBP has no ethernet port.. buy a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter.. plug it in Mac to the LAN port on the TC.. turn off wireless in the computer.. the backup will take say 10hours for a full 500GB disk.
Wireless via any extend repeater type setup or not directly to the TC is useless.
