is it possible to extend my network using an Airport Time Capsule if the main router is not an apple product? I haven't been able to.
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13
Network Name would be the exact same WiFi network name that the main router is using
Base Station Name is a name that you want to call the AirPort Extreme device
Password would the exact same WiFi password that the main router is using
Verify....enter the same password again to confirm
Click Next and the setup utility will apply the correct settings for the Time Capsule

Yes and No.
Yes, if you connect the Time Capsule to the main router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection and locate the Time Capsule where it will be needed to provide additional WiFi coverage, then set up the Time Capsule to provide a WiFi network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password that the main router is using.
No, if you are asking if the Time Capsule can connect to the main router using only a WiFi connection and extend the network in that manner.
Thank You!
I'm trying to do it that way. Would this be under a new network name? I'm trying to add it to and existing one and it goes back to this window attached here.
Best!
That solved it 👏🏻 !
