Time capsule

Does no light on time machine just indicate no internet connection?

Yellow blinking light on Time Capsule. I have a yellow blinking light on our Time Capsule (router and backup). I have gone into the Airport Utility and did an update. It did "something" (in other words, it stopped blinking and then started again.) Anyway - it is not green yet. We are able to get on the internet, but some wifi services are not working. We know we need to get a new router soon, so we can stream tv services and get off of cable, but I was hoping to get this working in the meantime. I am on an old system on my computer (yes I will be getting a new computer soon). Anything you tell me to do to get the router working (green light)?

Time Capsule connection Tell me, please, what could be the problem? There is a Time Capsule 2TB, a U.S. model. If I connect it directly to the Internet (PPPoE connection), DHCP and NAT automatically turn on and the speed of WiFi and Ethernet at the output is not higher than 170 MB/s. If you connect it through another router (Huawei 7200), it works via DH What can this be related to? So Time Capsule cannot be used as a standalone device?

Time Capsule cannot be accessed but Time Machine connects Ok I have a time capsule to which I backup to via Time Machine. This is working Ok, but I noticed yesterday that the Airport Utility app was saying the capsule cannot be found (Time machine still backs up to it). Today the capsule isn't showing in the Airport app at all (but Time Machine is still backing up to it). If I look in Finder > Network it shows the capsule cannot be connected to. Slightly puzzled to say the least? What could have gone wrong?

Unfortunately, no light on a Time Capsule means no power. Check your connections to the wall power socket.
