(Yes, the manuals dont discuss that limitation).īTW, I tried to use my Mac as the WiFi-to-Ethernet adapter using 'internet sharing', and it ALMOST worked. However, the new TC just will not cooperate, and what I gather from various forum discussions is because the device that sends out the WiFi signal must be an Apple device because the TC apparently relies on some apple-only protocol. Older models of the TimeCapsule had no problem taking in the internet via WiFi rather than an Ethernet connection (I know because I did it at this same hotel 6 years ago). My problem is that I am in a Hotel for several months that only has WiFi to the internet. I would like to have my TimeCapsule act as a bridge to a WAN internet connection, and have my Mac and AppleTV connected to the LAN ports (for speedy backups and speedy video from Mac to AppleTV). My question is ' what experience does anyone have with connecting WiFi-to-Ethernet adapters to the WAN connection on a (newest 5th gen) TimeCapsule (or airport extreme)?'.

The reasons why I have my question are a little complicated, so I will go into them later, but PLEASE don't go into a speech about how I don't really want to connect to the internet via WiFi.
