Connection to Time Capsule lost

Suddenly my Time Capsule is not listed in Finder under Shared.

Airport Utility scans, but cannot find it. The TC is on, the LED is green.

What should I do?

I had the same problem after returning from a business trip with my laptop. I just unplugged the Time Capsule and replugged it in 10 seconds later to let it reboot. My MacBook found it on the network without a problem.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. After a restart the TC is there alright.

I've had the same problem. Power off and then on on the Time Capsule has always fixed it.

Unfortunately, the problem recurs frequently, several times a week.

Any suggestions for how to prevent this repeated loss of wireless signal would be appreciated.

Works for about an hour, then drops connection again.
My Time Capsule get rather hot. I´m not sure this is normal.
May have to bring back to somewhere they can fix the thing.
Can not complete a backup without it dropping the conection.
