    I have a laptop connected to wireless through an wirelesss bridge, which bridges an ASUS RT-N56U router.

    I just bought a new Apple Time Capsule 2TB.

    My end goal is simply to have internet access and a shiny new wireless harddrive folder on my laptop.

    I know there is some combination of these products that will yield what I want by I can't figure out how to connect everything. Help?

    I tried almost exactly what you are trying to do almost 3-4 years ago.

    Gave the Apple junk away. Bought a Netgear router and Lan performance improved two fold.

    The TC simply doesn't have enough controls exposed to the users to allow what I wanted (and it seems you too...).

    I was running Windows, btw - are you running Win too?
