Time Capsule option to add to existing network doesn't work I recently bought a TP-Link Deco X20 mesh system and want to change my Time Capsule (ac model) to just be a networked Time Machine (it was my router). I've reset the router and have been trying to use the option "add to existing network," but when setting up via iOS, I receive the message "an unexpected error has occurred" after selecting the option and when setting up in macOS, Airport Utility just reverts back to the setting up a network screen. Either way, no setup is happening. The Time Capsule is plugged into the back of the main Deco unit. Has anyone had any luck switching a Time Capsule from a router to just a device on the network? Thanks.

Time Capsule was previously part of this network error Bridge Mode Hello, I've been using an AirPort Time Capsule for about a month now. I setup the device in bridge mode and use it for network backups and as a ethernet switch for my media console. It works perfectly fine, I can still make backups to it and the ethernet ports are fully functional. For some reason though, I can no longer manage the Time Capsule. If I fire up AirPort utility I can see that the Time Capsule is connected, but I can't view any of its settings and I eventually get an error that says: "Device not found. Airport Time Capsule was previously part of your network. Check that it is still in range of your network and is plugged into a power outlet. Forgetting this device removes it from your network." Here is a screen cap of what I see in AirPort Utility: https://imgur.com/a/frcXUcR My router is a Linksys WRT1200AC, the Time Capsule is seen correctly by my router and both my Macs and my gaming desktop can see/access the Time Capsule on the network so the problem does not appear to be hardware related.

I suggest that you perform a "hard" reset on your Time Capsule, and then, use the AirPort Utility to set it up again for the "new" wireless network.
