How can I pull a wireless internet signal into my time capsule?

My apartment complex is moving to a wireless internet for each building. Each building will have 6 access points for residents to pull internet off of with a log in authentication. I currently have time warner cable and use a 1TB time capsule as my wireless router. Is there any way to pull this new wireless internet signal and route it through my time capsule which will allow me to keep my home network. Otherwise I will have to connect each device separately to the AP and have no home network.

Here's my suggestion. I did a fair bit of research. It looks as if the Time Capsule itself cannot connect to a Wireless signal and then transform it and broadcast its own. An Apple Support Diccussion suggested using a power line adapter that plugs into an outlet, pulls the Wireless signal, and pushes it out through an Ethernet port. You plug the Time Capsule into that Ethernet port and that should do the trick.

Here's an example of such a device: www.amazon.com­/Netgear­-XE102­-Powerline­-Ethernet­-Ad...

There are several versions of devices like this one on Amazon, so I recommend that you pick one up and try it out.

Good luck!
