Time Capsule is a router.. if you use Netgear router and TC also as a router you will have double NAT.. and that causes lots of issues..


What are you trying to achieve??


The TC can be bridged. ie it will work as AP and switch and network hard disk.


Or you might be able to use the Netgear as AP..


How are you trying to connect them?? If you are thinking to wireless bridge then that won't work.


But I cannot give specifics.. without a specific question.. info .. data.. something to work on.


Otherwise the answer to your question is Yes, but No.. or No but Yes..

Sorry for the limited question.

I currently use my TC as a router, but had a weak signal in my bedroom and was hoping I could extend the network by maybe placing my netgear router on my nightstand.


Can this be done and how is it done? It seemed when I hooked up the netgear that the network didn't see it there??


Basically though, I'm looking for a way to get a better signal in my bedroom...

Thanks friend for your comments.
