Best Locations for AirPort Time Capsule
The following recommendations can help your AirPort Time Capsule achieve the best wireless
range and network coverage.
 Place your AirPort Time Capsule in an open area where there are few obstructions, such as
large pieces of furniture or walls. Place it away from metallic surfaces.
 Place your AirPort Time Capsule on a table or surface with adequate air circulation under
and around it. Don’t place your AirPort Time Capsule on a carpet or other soft material, as
the material can block the airow vents.
 If you place your AirPort Time Capsule behind furniture, keep at least an inch
(2.54 centimeters) of space between the AirPort Time Capsule and the furniture.
 Avoid placing your AirPort Time Capsule in an area surrounded by metal surfaces on three
or more sides.
 If you put your AirPort Time Capsule in an entertainment center with your stereo equipment,
don’t surround AirPort Time Capsule with audio, video, or power cables. Place it so the cables
are to one side. Keep as much space as possible between AirPort Time Capsule and the cables.
