Just replace the Time Capsule with the RT-AC66R. You will then have to use the Time Capsule as an access point:

That's an old article, but basically you want to turn off the TC's DHCP server and most other services. I don't have any experience with Apple routers but I understand they are somewhat restrictive as to what you can control so you may have a few issues here.

This AP must be wired to your router somehow. Cat5e is the best but may involve running wires into walls, installing junction boxes, etc. Powerline networking may be your best bet - both your router and your AP must be plugged into your power connection so it should be available.

Don't try "wireless repeating". You will get a good signal but halve the speed.

I don't believe there are any mini PCIe cards supporting 802.11ac yet - there's that extremely expensive PCIe card from ASUS and a bunch of USB ones but no mini PCIe.
