QuickerTek seeks to extend your Time Capsule’s reach into uncharted territories

QuickerTek TriBand Time Capsule AntennaIs your Time Capsule an under-performer in the WiFi department? Have all your vitamins failed to bring it up to scratch? Does it feel threatened when an AirPort Extreme is brought near it? Then you, my dear friend, need a QuickerTek TriBand Antenna to help you with your woes.

This little doohickey has a coaxial cable that needs to be plugged into your Time Capsule’s security slot (it’s definitely not the best use for that slot, let me tell you). Once you’ve done that, it can do magical things, or so the company claims. The WiFi range will increase by 50% and you will witness an unprecedented boost in speed.

We’re not sure how necessary an accessory this is but if your Time Machine backups have been taking their own sweet time, it might be worth a shot. Prices start from $129.95 and go up to $700 (and that includes a 1TB Time Capsule too, in case you were wondering).

Do let us know whether any of you feel the need for this add-on. And that salesperson imitation in the first paragraph was pretty sweet, huh?
