OS X LION and Time Capsule

I have a 2TB Time Capsule (wi-fi), and cannot use it with OS X Lion! It says the airport utility is not compatible with my operating system. What do I do now? Is there a solution to this issue?

MacBook Pro (17-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.3), OS X LION

I downloaded this, but it did not help. I do not use an Airport router, my router is Netgear. The utility will not find my router, it keeps looking for an Airport, and since I don't have one, it won't connect so I can set up my Time Capsule. I do not want use my time capsule as my router, I just want to be able to use it wirelessly for storage and back-up of my macbook pro. Is this possible?

I have been reading some other forum posts, and it seems like I have to connect the Time Capsule to my existing router via ethernet cable, and use it as a bridge to my wireless devices. I am not an expert at this by any means. If I do this, will I have to reconfigure my wi-fi on all my devices? Will it support my husband's PC? We have iphones, a mac air, a mini mac, and an hp printer that all use our wi-fi. Thanks in advance for helping the less tech-savy!
