Hello,
I am presenting my issue: I have an iMac and a Time Capsule. The Time Capsule was well connected to my Livebox and was working perfectly.
Since yesterday, I now have Fiber. The problem is simply that the new Livebox is no longer at the same location (at the other end of the room).
I can no longer connect the Time Capsule to the Livebox using an Ethernet cable. So here is my question: is it possible to configure the Time Capsule and connect it to the internet via Wi-Fi? In other words, can I connect it wirelessly? So that I cannot move the Time Capsule and everything.
Thank you for your answers, which I hope will be prompt.
Have a good evening.

Good evening,
The proper configuration in this case (classic) is as follows:
The box receiving the fiber is in its place.
The Time Capsule is directly connected to the box via an ethernet cable.
The Wi-Fi of the box is disabled if it is equipped with one.
The Wi-Fi of the Time Capsule is enabled.
The Time Capsule is configured in "Bridge" mode if the box acts as a router, or this Time Capsule is configured to distribute IP addresses and acts as a router itself if the box does not.
Why doesn't it work like that at your place?
Why can't you leave the Time Capsule near the box?
I also went through these steps. Initially, I was using a Freebox in router mode, and I switched to fiber with a non-router box. With a first-generation Time Capsule, then an Airport Extreme, which is managed in the same way as a Time Capsule regarding Wi-Fi. My Time Capsule is now located at the other end of the house to extend the Wi-Fi network.

Hello, first of all, thank you for your quick response!
Now, I admit I'm having a bit of a hard time.
I don't understand the setup.
The box receiving the fiber is in place. OK.
The Time Capsule is directly connected to the box via an ethernet cable. OK.
The Wi-Fi of the box is disabled if it is equipped. OK.
The Wi-Fi of the Time Capsule is enabled. OK.
"The Time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode if the box acts as a router, or this Time Capsule is configured to distribute IP addresses and acts as a router itself if the box does not." Here, I admit I don't quite understand...
In any case, once on the iMac, I don't understand what manipulation to do :/ -
These Wi-Fi settings for the Time Capsule are made through the AirPort Utility software in the network configurations. The way to access it differs slightly depending on the version of the AirPort Utility being used. In the older versions of AirPort Utility, I found it a bit easier to access. We would select "Manual Setup," while in the latest versions, we arrive at the same settings, but it's a bit less user-friendly.

If your version of Mac OS still supports it, try using AirPort Utility version 5.6.1

and go to manual setup to find the network settings. -
