What issues are you having with your Time Capsule? Perhaps there is an easy fix for your issue?2. There are some third-party routers available lhat allow someone to back up their hard drive in a way similar to the Time Capsule. An external hard drive is attached to the USB port on the router .Perhaps our members can  be more specific, it has been a while since I researched this topic. Netgear routers used to support this.3. Apple isn't necessarily forcing cloud backups. In fact, most people have more data to back up than the basic iCloud account provides though you can purchase extra storage. You can still complete Time Machine backups by connecting an  external drive directly to the computer.</blockquote>
