Home Hub 5 not working with Time Capsule

Home Hub 5 contains an internal modem so the wiring configuration has changed (I used to have Home Hub 3). Now my Time Capsule is not making backups. I'm not sure I've got it connected properly. Does anyone have any advice?

Cheers

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

When you do a major network revision always reset the TC to factory and start over.. it simply remembers too much of the last setup.


Plug WAN TC into the HH5 and run through the airport utility again. The TC must go into bridge mode. It then should work fine, but I recommend particularly with Mavericks you use strict naming.

Not apple names.. long, loose and loopy.


Names that are short, 2-10 characters is plenty but make an upper limit of 20.


No spaces..


Pure alphanumeric.. no apostrophe or any other odd character.
