Thanks, Chris and Sam. I'll follow Sam's suggestion.
Chris: I have virgin cable going to a modem, an ethernet cable from the modem to a router which connects in to my time capsule. I access everything by wifi, unless there's a problem, when I might use an ethernet cable. The modem is virgin's own and the router is netgear.
