[QUOTE="_nelsonc, post: 774707, member: 18615"] So let me see if I have this right: 1) You do not want to use the Time Capsule as a router, but just as a disk drive and Print Server. 2) You do not have an ISP connection other than the one connected directly to your iMac. I think you have two options: 1) Connect your iMac to the Time Capsule via Ethernet. This would allow you to access the NAS functions of the Time Capsule for backups and also use it as a Print Server. 2) Use your iMac as the Wireless Access Point for a new wireless network that you set up your Time Capsule to participate in. To do this, I think you would need to turn on Internet Connection Sharing on the iMac. I think this would work best, but may take some tweaking to accomplish. [/QUOTE]
