How do I set up Time Capsule just for Time Machine?

[chunter1001]

I have a current gen Time Capsule, but want to use a newer router instead that improves my WiFi coverage inside my home. However, I want to still use the Time Capsule for backups/Time Machine purposes.

Is this possible? If anyone has done it, would you be kind enough to give me instructions on how to configure the Time Capsule. I was planning on direct wiring it to my new router.

FWIW, I've updated my Time Capsule to the current firmware.

Thanks!

Just erase it's disk and select it as target from time machine prefernces.
Almost forgot - turn off it's routing capabilities by switching it into bridge mode (after you've set up your new router).
Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac
