I have a time capsule that was used as a router, then my internet connection stated crashing often so, I switch to the internet providers router and the problem went away.
So my time capsule is physically connected to the internet provider router, but I would like to have my time capsule to join the new wireless network so I can access the content/data on the Time capsule hard drive without switching networks. What should I do?

Since the Time Capsule is connected to your Internet provider using an Ethernet cable, if you log on to the Wi-Fi of your Internet provider's router, in most cases you should be able to access the Time Capsule that way.
What happens if you connect to the Wi-Fi of the ISP router? Can you access the Time Capsule this way?
The indicator light on the front of the Time Capsule......is it solid green, or blinking amber?

Yesterday, I checked and the light at the front of the time capsule was blinking amber, then I open the air port utility app and noticed that I needed to update the firmware , after that the light at the time capsule turn on solid green and now the time capsule is visible when I am connected to the new network even when the time capsule still have the old network configured. So you are correct since I am connected directly to the internet provider router I should have access to it, so the issue was the firmware out of date.
Thank you Bob
