New modem won't recognize Time Capsule
My old Comcast modem kicked the bucket last night so I bought a new one: a Motorola SURFboard SB6141. The modem works fine when plugged in via Ethernet, but when I plug in my Time Capsule, which I use as my wireless router, the modem's "link" light does not light up or flash and the Time Capsule continues to flash amber. I have tried unplugging and rebooting both devices, and nothing has changed. Some advice I've read on other sites has suggested resetting the Time Capsule, but that would be tragic, as I'd lose a lot of valuable files. Other people have talked about plugging the Time Capsule into a computer to adjust settings, but neither of my Mac computers has an Ethernet port. Any advice would be appreciated, particularly in layman's terms: I am NOT particularly tech savvy. 😉
