Q: How can I connect two Time Capsules with UTP
Hello,
I have one TC connected with UTP (WAN-port) on my modem to Internet on the second floor. I have a good WiFi-signal on the second floor.
I bought on new TC to get a better WiFi-signal on the first floor and also used for backup.
I like to connect TCold with TCnew with UTP to get a great network. I shoos UTP-connection in stead of WiFi, to get a faster performance from my network.
So I will use both WiFi-signals from both TC's, but de TC must be communicate with UTP, not with WiFi.
I think I connect UTP in my LAN-port from TCold
Which ports do I use on the TCnew (WAN-port or LAN-ports)?
How do I configurate de software?
Sometimes I see not 2 but 4,5 or 6 TC's in my network???
When I disconnect UTP between the TC's the connection with WiFi is 450 Mbit/s.
When I connect UTP between the TC's the connection is 217 Mbbit/s????????????
Can somebody help me?

The main thing is that TCnew is in bridge mode..
Open the airport utility.. go to the TCnew and select it as bridge mode.
Then go to the wireless tab, and create a wireless network of the same name and security as the TCold.
You are probably in extend wireless now and that is wrong.

What you want is called roaming network.
