How can I strengthen the Wi

How can I strengthen the Wi-Fi signal from my Apple Time Capsule?

The Time capsule is in my home office and I never get full Wi-Fi bars in either the kitchen or the bedroom. 

And my service seems to be slow and I can't blame the cable service until I know that I have full bars on my Time Capsule Wi-Fi network.

Which devices will spread stronger Wi-Fi service to the other parts of my house?

Without adding additional equipment, there are only two ways to improve the strength of the WiFi signal in a remote location like the kitchen, or other remote area.

1) Move the Time Capsule significantly closer to the kitchen

2) Change the location of the Time Capsule to try get line-of-sight to the kitchen as much as possible. Anything that you  can do to prevent the WiFi signal from having to pass through obstructions like walls, mirrors, heavy furniture, etc will help.

If you cannot move the Time Capsule or locate it such that there are fewer obstructions in the signal path to the kitchen, you will need to add a WiFi extender, like an AirPort Extreme, to provide more wireless signal strength in the kitchen area.

Ideally, the extender would be located in the kitchen area and connect back to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet cable connection.  The reason for this is that there will be no signal speed loss through the Ethernet cable, so the AirPort Extreme gets a full speed signal to broadcast.

If you must use wireless to connect the AirPort Extreme back to the Time Capsule, then locate the AirPort Extreme about half way between the Time Capsule and the kitchen.  The more that you have line-of-sight between the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme, the better the network will operate.

Unfortunately, there will always be a loss of about half of the potential speed when you try to extend a network like this using wireless, so the Ethernet connection method is by far the best performance option.....if you can run the Ethernet cable.

And my service seems to be slow and I can't blame the cable service until I know that I have full bars on my Time Capsule Wi-Fi network.

Not quite correct. It is certainly possible to have a strong, but slow WiFi signal.  Signal strength is one thing.....signal speed is another. Users often get these two separate things confused.

To check your signal speed from your provider, you must connect a computer directly to the modem.
