I believe my problems have started when switching to Starlink.

Did a reset on capsule (paperclip)

opened Airport Utility app

Selected Other WiFi Devices , and selected Capsule

entered new password

All data now accesable

:-)

This sounds like you have the Time Capsule set up to use the same password for the Base Station, Wireless Network and the hard drive named Data.

If other users are also using the Time Capsule wireless network, they will also be able to access the administrator settings for the Time Capsule (and change them) and also access the data on the Time Capsule Data hard drive. If you are OK with that, then all is well.
