Hi Peter, On looking back through the archives, you have been experiencing problems with your Time Capsule & Wireless Network since you first tried setting it up. I feel you have a problem with your overall Network Setup Configuration.
If the troubleshooting suggestions I sent to you earlier today don't fix all your problems with the Network, I have done a 9 page Tutorial explaining & showing 'How To: Setup Airport Time Capsule / Airport Extreme N 'Simultaneous Dual-Band 802.11n Wi-Fi Base Station Network'. Simultaneous Dual-Band 802.11n Wi-Fi Base Station. Some Wi-Fi devices use the 2.4GHz wireless band, including iPhone, iPod touch, and devices using 802.11b/g. Other devices can use either 2.4GHz or the higher-speed 5GHz band, such as the latest 802.11n-based Mac computers and Apple TV. Instead of choosing one of the bands, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule (models introduced in 2009) now operates simultaneously on both bands, and your multi-band devices automatically use the best available band. This means all your Wi-Fi devices get the fastest possible wireless performance and the best possible range. The PDF Tutorial "AIRPORT EXTREME N DUAL-BAND BASE STATION NETWORK.pdf" is on my Website. If you think it would be helpful for you, email me "Off List" for the details & password to enable you to download the Tutorial.
