Where can I find instructions for alternative configurations for my time capsule?

I am resident in a House with a router not apple using Uverse.  I just bought a Time Capsule, hoping to use it as a storage drive to backup my imac and mac air.  For the MacAir, I would be like it is able with time Capsule wireless backup, and depending on how I can configure the system, connect the imac directly to the TimeCapsule or wireless connection.

What I can't do connect the Capsule of time with an ethernet cable to the router not apple, that is in a different room than my desktop.  I have permission to use the internet service provided by the non-apple router - so right now, I don't have time Capsule to provide internet access in itself - as long as it can enable to backup wireless option at least for my mac air.

Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, you're stuck in the middle of a router that is not apple and an Apple router without ethernet... and therefore no way to connect.

What you need is a wireless bridge (wireless to ethernet bridge if you want that it is more accurate).

Wireless bridges are pretty cheap... Look at TP-Link, because a lot of their wireless access points will make wireless bridge...

Or you can purchase an airport express... It's the only apple router which allows the wireless bridge. However, it is more than twice the price of an equivalent of non-apple.

With the bridge... you plug in ethernet on the TC and run the TC in bridge (it is the router bridge)... your clients can then connect to the TC directly and the two backup and get internet at the same time... otherwise you can do it in the order...

That is, you can plug the TC to the iMac by ethernet. It's a bit complicated, but I've given instructions here. Then you have wireless internet and backup on ethernet... It is indeed the best configuration for the imac.

Time Capsule using wired for Mac for backup only.

What you can't do, is use wireless for internet and backup at the same time... you will need to do one and then sometimes switch for the wireless of TC to run a backup... not a great idea.
