Clearspot 4g + Time Capsule?

I just bought a clearspot 4g for my internet connection. I have my computer hooked up and it is running well off of the signal, but can't figure out how to bring my time capsule into the loop. Any pointers? I tried the tech support @ clearspot and they weren't very useful. I can't imagine i'm the first person to have both a clearspot 4g and a time capsule, so I'm hoping someone can help me 🙂

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

What is your goal with connecting the Time Capsule exactly? Were you trying to wireless extend the range somehow or add computers over ethernet?

If you are trying to create an extended network, there is no established standard for such a connection, and all of the different wireless router vendors have their own proprietary connection schemes which are mostly incompatible with each other.

If I am correct, you connected the Clearspot 4g into your USB port on your computer! However, if you connected it into the USB port of your Time Capsule (TDC) then it will not work! The only item from Clear.com that will work for you would be the Motorola WiMax Clear Modem- Series M because it has a WAN port that you then can connect this modem with your TC by installing your ethernet cable between the WAN port of the Modem and the WAN port on your TC. Hope this solves your issue...enjoy!!
