Q: Time Capsule Setup w/ Router

I am currently attempting to setup a time capsule to wirelessly back up my two computers. Those two computers access the internet through a lynxsys wireless router. Is there any way I can extend the wireless network of the router with the time capsule?

Time Capsule, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I think Apple have got big cats in your head.. it is linksys.. link not lynx.. LOL!!

 

And no you cannot extend wireless of another brand using apple products. Apple is apple.. who are all this rabble around the tower of our greatness??

 

You should connect the TC to the Linksys using ethernet. And bridge the TC.. use a long ethernet or EOP adapters if you must.. to get the signal better but using TC bridged you can access it via linksys wireless and ethernet as well. To extend apple wirelessly you need an express or extreme.. or even another TC.
