Backup failed . Make sure your computer and backup drive are on the same network. What does this mean?

Backup Failed.  Comment is "Make sure your computer and backup disc are on the sme network and the backup disc is turned on".  What does this mean?

Just back from the dentist.
Did a hard reset and when i asked time capsule to do a backup it tells
me
"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image is already in use"
I think I misunderstand how this back up device works.
Is it to be plugged into the back of the router with an ethernet cable?
I have the Time capsule sitting beside my Imac.
The cable modem and router are in another room
I am new at this stuff.  Thank you for patience and help
