Hi all,

I have an interesting connection issue that I don't believe there's a solution for, but I thought I would post here and check. I have a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme extending the range of the Time Capsule. Where I sit to work is actually closer to the Airport Extreme, so my laptop automatically uses that connection. However, the Airport Extreme is FARTHER away from the access point than I am. So that means that even though I have a "better" wireless signal in my room, because it is farther away, I get a slower connection than if I walk over to the Time Capsule, make sure i'm connected to that device, and then walk back into the other room - does that make sense? Curious if there's a solution for this. Thanks!
