How do I connet my time capsule to a new network

Hey,


I have a Time Capsule, which is set up to my old wifi. Now I have moved, and my Macbook works with the new wifi, but I can't connet my Time Capsule, my computer can't even find it. How do I setup my time capsule to the new wifi?


Please help me.....

The best way is to plug the TC by ethernet to main router in the new place. Reset it to factory.. see instructions and then it will appear in your airport utility.


You cannot connect to two different wifi signals at the same time.. if you "join the wireless" the TC will perform poorly.


Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.

Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.


Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).


Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.


Note..

Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.

TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.

No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
