until you see your AirPort network name (SSID), and choose it from the list if there

are multiple networks available.

and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).

Select your Time Capsule, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.

Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Base Station.

Click Wireless and choose an encryption method from the Wireless Security pop-up

menu to turn on encryption and activate password protection for your AirPort network.

If you turn on encryption, enter a new password for your AirPort network.
