Error setting up a Time Capsule

Hello, I have recently bought a recon Time Capsule and when I go into Airport, it gets to "examining base station" and then I get "error occurred". Can anyone help?


I'm running Yosemite 10.10.5

Macbook pro (Retina 15 in mid 2014)

PRocessor 2,2 Intel core i7


THanks, Linda

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

See pages 28 and 29. Using Airport Utility (page 29), I don’t see the options the manual says are there. I have done a reset and a full reset (page 28) many times and it has always straightened out the Time Capsule.
