Hi, When in Airport Utility, Interact with the Network Group, press VO-space on your Time Capsule, press VO-space on the Edit button just after the Scroll area. Navigate to the Wireless tab and press VO-space on it. Your TC should say that it is set to Join an Existing Network. If it says something about creating a network, then you're likely somehow creating two networks with exactly the same name. Make sure it is set to Join an Existing Network in this pane. After pressing the Edit button, this should take you into the manual setup area for the TC.
Hope this helps some. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On 2013-07-18, at 2:09 PM, The Smiths <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tim > > Thanks for taking the time to reply.
