Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore

I bought a 2TB Time Capsule and hooked on a 1TB external hdd to it. All my files and music are on there. My Macbook Air can't find my Airport Time Capsule all of a sudden. It regularly disconnects since they day I got it but since yesterday it can't connect anymore. Internet works fine though. The utility app tells me that it used to be in my network but now isn't anymore. Could it have something to do with adding my iMac to the network? Any thoughts?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Thanks, agregory23! Time Machine backups were crashing my Airport Extreme with an attached drive. A downgrade to 7.6.4 (the previous release) solved my problem.

The latest on this with me is these devices having WiFi enabled. I can run whatever version I want as long as I disable the WiFi radio and connect it via ethernet. Obviously, this means you need to have an external AP dishing a DHCP address to the Time Capsule. Not ideal but stable (as long as you pick a stable AP).
