Upgrade from Airport Extreme to Time Capsule

[Alwyn]

SOLVED

I don't remember how I set up the Airport Extreme originally but I hooked the Time Capsule up in the same way but the green light didn't come on so I didn't get a wi-fi connection.

Is there something else I need to do?

Did you follow the instructions on setting up the Time Capsule?

Also make sure you have the Airport Utility app installed.

Thanks Nick and everyone,

The problem seems to have been that the Time Capsule needed to be reset to its factory settings before the Airport Utility recognised it. I left my Airport Extreme connected but set the Time Capsule as the Base Station and, once it was working, disconnected the Airport Extreme.

It seems to have kept the network password so now waiting to make first backup.

Very nice…congrats. You'll love that Time Capsule. Really makes backing up easy…and it's a good WiFi router as well.
