Need recommendations for a Time Capsule drive that works with Catalina.

Just got my new Macbook Pro, and my Time Capsule died. Not sure what to look for since Apple doesn't make the Time Capsule anymore.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Clean and install Time Capsule My Time Capsule no longer recognizes my MacBook. I would like to stay with TC even though it is discontinued. It worked flawlessly up till now. I used an old MacBook while my newer one was getting fixed with Apple dealer and think that's where the problem began. Is it possible to do a Clean and Install with Time Capsule? Also, I am a techno-impaired senior. Please be gentle. (-;

Time Machine Issue Time Machine Issue Time Capsule is working great with a MacBook Pro (late 2013) running Big Sur 11.6.4 Another MacBook Pro (late 2013) running Big Sur 11.6.4 will not back up to the Airport Time Capsule, although it had been working for several years. The Time Capsule is running version 7.9.1 Previous backups can be accessed and the Time Capsule is visible is visible in the AirPort Utility. When a backup was started the message indicated the drive was not available. Deleted the disk from the Time Machine Preferences thinking adding it back would be the solution. But now the Time Machine preferences can not see the disk to add it back. Any ideas on why one MacBook is working well with the Time Capsule and the other is not? Or how to add the Time Capsule back to Time Machine Preferences? Thanks.

Cannot find disk for Time Machine setup I bought a LaCie 2TB disk as an external drive for my Time Machine backup disc. Have done it numerous times on my other machine, but when I try to find a disc in the Time Machine window, all that is available is an 'other AirPort Time Capsule,' which I don't have. No way to search for an external drive or the like. What am I missing here?

I've already looked at that page. I'm asking for recommendation of a specific product, not a generalized list of what I can use.
