I've recently moved to China and in my new flat, I have a wireless modem/router to connect to the broadband. I have disabled the wireless on this. Connected to it via a LAN port (into its own WAN port) is a Time Capsule, which handles the PPPoE login and keeps me online and connected 24/7. However, this means I cannot put the Time Capsule in bridge mode and I'm not sure if this is what creates my following problem:
My modem/router is in my bedroom, next to my computer, which I want to connect by wire to the Time Capsule and the rest of the network (there are hundreds of Wifi networks around here, I'd much rather have a wired network where possible). The Time Capsule is the other side of the lounge outside, connected by a 10m (roughly) ethernet cable, around the outside of the room. Buying another and routing it back around the outside of the room and to my computer is too much work. When I connect the computer into the modem/router, I cannot see the Time Capsule. Any ideas how I can get them to talk to each other?
