Q: Why can't Airport see new TC?

My 4 year old TC crapped out.  Bought another TC 802.11n and thought setup would be plug and play (haven't had to setup for 4 years).  But it's not!!! Airport sees nothing but internet(green). Airport menu only shows preferences, Services Preferences, both go no where.  The only menu option that's black is in File > Configure Other ~ which asks for an "address" and "password" which I have no idea. Now what?

Old TC was wirelessly connected for backups.  A Canon was plugged into the TC.  Internet comes from internet-provider router in basement.  This worked fine before. 

I have no ethernet cable.

What can I do?
