What kind of IP scheme was the new router in the bedroom running? My guess was a 192.168.100.x or 192.168.×.x ? How did you connect your time capsule? did it get a DHCP address and then also try and remain on it’s “old” network of 192.168.×.x? This would definitely give you some slow down (hardware confusion).

Just curious to know as I’m looking into doing something similar and you hadn’t written anything about the networking basics….

It defaulted to 192.168.1.x I believe. However, I changed it to use 10.0.1.x, which is the standard addressing used by Apple networking hardware and a valid private networking range. I tried connecting the Time Capsule in a variety of ways, to include DHCP. My preference was to use WDS, but it never really worked out. I’m curious what you mean by “hardware confusion.” It seems like you’d have a really poor device if it couldn’t keep track of hardware and IP addresses properly without slowing down. There was no level of “hardware confusion” when I plugged the Airport Extreme into the network.

To be clear, the slow down was independent of the Time Capsule. The Cisco router’s performance bottomed out when I was connecting to it wirelessly and changing the radio mode settings from b/g/n to g/n.
