Q: Airport express not connecting via wi-fi

I'm really stumped here. I purchased a new Airport Express, because I couldn't update the firmware in my old ones, and they couldn't connect either via wi-fi or LAN.

 

The problem is this: I was able to get my new AE to show up in my AirPort Utility - and configure it to join my existing network - when it was directly cabled into my Time Capsule, but ... I can't get it to connect via wi-fi. Once it's disconnected from the LAN, it's no longer able to connect. It shows as disconnected in the AirPort Utility.

 

This process used to work well - connect via LAN cable, configure, then disconnect once configuration is completed and connect via wi-fi. No dice.

 

What am I doing wrong?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
