Can I use the time capsule as a wifi ethernet bridge? TC connects wirelessly to another router and enables internet via ethernet cable?

I have an existing cheap wifi router that works (frankly better than the TC which frequently refuses connections to PCs). I want to connect the time capsule to that wifi network wirelessly, but then connect the TC to my xbox 360 via ethernet cable so I can stream netflix. Does the TC do that? How would I set that up?

Can I connect computers to each-other through a time capsule to share files?.

I have an Imac connected to a Time capsule via an ethernet cable for internet, slingbox and backups and have a Macbook pro that uses the TC wireless network to connect to the internet. Both macs see the time capsule no problem, but cannot see each other. Is there a way of setting up my home network so my two computers can see each other as well as the TC?.

Can I configure an NAS to attach via ethernet to Time Capsule. Which suggested NAS if true. (I need lots of space for 'Camera Raw' photos)

Currently have a 1/2 TB Time Capsule on the local network. Rather than attach yet another USB storage device to this iMac, I'd like to attach a 2TB NAS (Network Access Storage) device via ethernet cable to the Time Capsule and have use the NAS to off-load photos from all the computers on our local network. This iMac is connected via ethernet to the Time Capsule. Any suggestions on how to make this happen including suggested NAS would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

Can the Time Capsule share the Internet connection from a cable modem (plugged into TC's WAN port) to other computers via Ethernet?

In other words: can I setup TC as an Internet Sharing device for the rest of the network via Ethernet? (similar to what Windows Internet Connection Sharing does)

My cable modem would plug in to the TC WAN port and I'm hoping I can set the TC up so it shares the cable modem's Internet connection to the rest of the network. The purpose being that I don't have a router (the cable modem has no router capability) and thus far I had to use a computer running 24/7 to share the internet connection.

What to do with an ethernet cable if I want my TC to be my second router and my first one has just one ethernet port?

I use mac mini with external RAID as a server/seedbox for streaming/p2p and I need most of my 100Mbit speed left with my mac mini. Now I want to buy TC for backup and my music lybrary storage and I'd like it to create a wireless network at home for my laptops and iMac.

I heard that it's dangerous for TC if it's the ethernet cable is plugged into it and 24/7 let's data go through (2-5 MB per second). I'd like to 'save' my TC and connect the cable directly to the mac mini, hence it has all the speed and load. Then I'd like somehow to connect TC to mac mini to create a wireless network for the whole house (mac mini has only one ethernet port)

How to connect TC to mac mini without all the data streaming through TC in such a way that TC becomes a WiFi access point for other macs or what to do with the cable (how to properly divide it into two to plug both in TC and mac mini)?

What if I don't have wireless?

I have a MacBook I want to backup my data for, but I don't have wireless internet at home. Could I connect the Time Capsule to my computer rather than using a wireless signal? (I realize doing this would eliminate the "automatic" feature because I would have to connect it each time)

Can I wirelessly backup/store files from my Mac on a Time Capsule without connecting it to a router or is it mandatory for this feature?

I want a Time Capsule just to back up the files on my MacBook and use it for extra storage. I do not want to print from it, or back up multiple computers, or anything else. Do I need to connect it to my router just to back up my laptop?
