yes i put my laptop right on top of my time capsules current location which is where i want it to sit and be set up.
Here is info from Apple's support document on resetting the Time Capsule
Factory Default reset (using reset button)
If the device isn't accessible from AirPort Utility, the Factory Default reset can be accomplished by using the reset button.
- Disconnect the base station's power cord.
- Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip. While continuing to hold the button, reconnect the power cord. Keep holding the reset button until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about six seconds.
Important: Factory Default reset doesn't erase the contents of any hard drives associated with the base station.

Yes, but it might be easier to first test with your laptop. Just turn off the wireless on the laptop and connect an Ethernet cable (that you know is working) from one of the LAN <--> Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule to your laptop (assuming that it has an Ethernet port).
See if you can get a good Internet connection that way. If you can, then you know that the setup is working correctly.
If you cannot, then I'm running out of ideas, since I have tested the same setup that you have.....AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule extending the network....and it works fine with both wireless and Ethernet devices.
sorry i forgot to respond. but thank you so much for the help! i got it set up and seems to be working fine! again i appreciate your help!
Great, glad things are working well for you.
