OH! Time CAPSULE. I thought you were referring to Time MACHINE. Sorry about that. I was terribly confused. I don;t know anything about that, though...
Your ISP should provide that box to you (possibly at a minimal charge). Buying your own box can be a bit hairy especially if you don't know your ISP's exact modem hardware requirements.
What you need to know: Call your ISP. When you contact them, use the term "modem" rather than "modem router" to avoid confusion since the box you are after is in fact a modem.
PS: Time Capsule is also a router and wi-fi base station so there isn't much need for an additional router on most home networks.
