Hi Steven, >> In case it's relevant, the wireless network I have is issued by an >> Optus-provided-and-configured CVG824G v3. I wonder if it's not that this >> device, or the Optus configuration, which gives me all the grief.
Just reading this part of your email I would say it is very relevant. If your Time Capsule is one of the newer models that have Dual-Band, why haven’t you setup the Time Capsule as a Simultaneous Dual-Band 802.11n Wireless Network ... Turn wireless OFF on CVG824G v3 (which I think is a Netgear)? Time Capsule operates simultaneously on both bands ( 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ), 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.
