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.- Asked by Steffen I

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 TC be set up to not use DHCP and to connect to ethernet via a LAN instead of the WAN port? If so, how?
My daughter's dorm at college has some very fussy requirements and they provide instructions for setting up some wireless routers but not Apple wifi products.
"Your router must have its DHCP server completely disabled.
You should connect an ethernet cable from wall jack directly into one of the numbered jacks on the back of the router, NOT the WAN port."
In the airport utility setup I see I can switch DHCP to manual, but don't see how to turn it off.
When I accidentally hooked the ethernet to a LAN port it didn't work.

Can I plug working ethernet cable into TC, and use it as a wireless router?
I am living in a university where internet is supplied via an ethernet cable plugged into the wall at one end, and computer at the other. I currently have no modem/router/anything other than a hole in the wall and an ethernet cable.
Am I right to assume that I can plug that ethernet cable from the wall into the back of a TC, and it would then act as a wireless router for my room, no other parts necessary?- Asked by Ben R

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?

Is there a way to connect my time capsule to the hotspot created by my iphone 5 on the LTE network (I have no ethernet cable for DSL/WAN)
I have read that the airport express may be able to be used as the wireless bridge (connect to the iphone hotspot and then into the TC) but I can't find a definitive answer. If the AE can do it I would have thought the TC could but I can't find a way.
Internet is only provided by LTE through Iphone 5

Can i share Unwired Australia connection with Time Capsule and make the TC as a modem router?
I have an Unwired modem broadband from Australia. Also, i heard that Time Capsule can share some kind of Wi-Fi connection (i haven't get the idea yet). So i wonder, in case if TC is not possible, is there any Apple product that i can use to do so?

time capsule without ethernet cable
Does the Time Capsule require a cable from the ethernet modem? I have a wireless network and I would like to hide the Time Capsule away from the wireless modem (so it does not get stolen when someone nicks my computer). So, does time capsule wirelessly integrate into my existing wireless network?

Will Time Capsule do automatic backups if it is connected via ethernet cable into a Verizon FiOS router, instead of using WiFi?
We're doing away with WiFi in our house and going with ethernet wired locations. Can I connect our Time Capsule to one of the ports in our Verizon FiOS router, then connect three Macs into the same router (using the other three ports), and expect the Time Capsule to perform the same automatic backup functions that it does in its wireless mode?

Can I connect a (Power PC-G5) to the Time Capsule and get internet signal if the Time capsule is not connected to the modem by cable?
Im wondering if the ability of the (Airport Express) can be found on the Time Capsule.
I have a G5 with no airport and the modem is very far from my work station, so I was wondering if the Time Capsule could be be side my compute and receive signal from the actual router I have. Just like an Airport Express would do.
