You can turn off the WiFi. How well things will work using another wireless is open to question.


Assuming that you are using a current or recent operating system on your Mac.....


Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

Click on the picture of the Time Capsule

Click Edit in the smaller window that appears

Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window

Change the setting for Network Mode to Off

Click Update at the lower right of the window and give the Time Capsule a minute to restart
