Q: no DSL CABLE or Ethernet cable

Hi I am trying to set up my Time Capsule and it says that I need to connect a DSL Cable or Ethernet Cable - Can't it use Wi-Fi?

    The Time Capsule should connect to your modem/router using an Ethernet cable.

     

    It might be possible to connect the Time Capsule using wireless only, but this is difficult for most users to configure, and backups will take much longer with this type of setup.

     

    Please post back if you want to try this, but also please understand that results cannot be guaranteed....since Apple does not officially support this type of configuration.
