I need some help! I just purchased a TP Link Gigabit JetStream Smart Switch and need some help. My house is wired with Cat 6 all the ports are terminated and the cable modem is in the basement. Unfortunately, if the router (Apple Time Capsule) is in the basement the wifi signal is horrible upstairs.
I currently have the system wired as follows:
Modem SB6183>TPLink Switch>Time Capsule. By connecting the time capsule through the switch I can then move that router out of the basement to improve my wifi signal without purchasing additional wireless equipment. In addition I am concerned that if I do modem>time capsule>switch I won't get the advantage of gigabit since the time capsule is 10/100 only.
Although I can get my wireless devices to connect to the Time Capsule wifi network it does not have any internet connection. The time capsule is currently set to bridge mode.
I am hoping you all can help me out!
