No if you setup time capsule first as just a hard drive no wireless, you need to plug ethernet cable into the back of the time capsule and one into your mac, run airport utility it should see the time capsule and let you change settings
uhm. I'm a newbie with any kinds of Apple products and specially with wireless networking.
And correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, the Time Capsule uses a 802.11n wireless card/adapter.
So Theoretically, the Time Capsule should not interfere with any wireless signals present in your school so, if that is your only main concern about setting up a wireless router with the Time Capsule, I don't think you should have any problems with that.
But as for getting internet connection with your Time Capsule, I'd have to get back to you on that one or perhaps others might be more helpful to you rather than me.
Just my 2 cents.![]()
hmmm... that's weird, when you set up TC for the first time it should have some settings.
And I'm assuming that you tried to connect the ethernet cable directly to your Macbook to test if there is really an internet or your Macbook CAN connect to the internet.
Well..if I were you, I'd try to reset my TC and then try to set it up again as if it's from out of the box and perhaps you would see there the option for it to be your wireless router.
Hope I'm a little helpful instead of confusing you more.![]()
