I have a 2TB Time Capsule that I would like to use, wireless over internet, with a new iMac. I can’t seem to connect it to internet. Do I need an Ethernet cable to the internet modem? It’s about 50feet away. Thanks.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
The Time Capsule needs to connect to the device that you are calling your "modem" using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection. The Time Capsule can be located anywhere that an Ethernet cable can reach, up to 300+ feet from the modem.
Not sure what you mean when you say that you want to use the Time Capsule with a new iMac, but the iMac can connect to the Time Capsule using either another Ethernet cable, or the iMac can connect to the Wi-Fi network that your "modem" is now providing and back up the iMac that way.
