Will your Linksys E4200 be your "main" router? What is your goal with the new Time Capsule? That is, do you want to use it primarily for Time Machine backups, or to extend the range of the Linksys router? If it is to extend the range, will the connection between the routers be a wired or wireless one?

Thanks Tesserax,

Linksys will be main router. Time Capsule will be primarily for time machine back ups.

Ok, thank you. I would suggest the following:

Connect the Time Capsule to the Linksys router using an Ethernet cable. Connect the cable to the WAN (circle-of-dots) port on the TC.
Disable the TC's Wi-Fi radios.
Reconfigure the TC as a bridge.

The last two items can be accomplished by using the AirPort Utility.
