Amber light flashing on time capsule

I just installed and activated a new Xfinity gateway modem.  It is hooked to my Time Capsule airport.  Time successfully Capsule gives me Internet connection, with the cord, Ethernet and Wireless.  It also allows Time Machine on my MBP running towards a job.

However, my Time Capsule continues to Flash his clear amber, instead of going to the green. He had the green light before the transition to a new modem.

I tried the power of disconnection and reconnection both the modem and the time Capsule.  My Airport utility confirms it's something wrong, but I know not what, especially given the fact that it seems to work very well.

Need some new avenues to explore.

Thank you

David

AirPort utility will tell you exactly what he thinks is wrong and suggest a 'solution '.

Here, I assume that you use a recent operating system like El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Cougar or Lion on your Mac.

Open AirPort Utility

Click on the image of the time Capsule

In the window that appears, look for the status setting

Click on the little orange dot there for more information and a suggested fix.

You can have a "Double NAT" error message there. The solution is to change to a setting time Capsule of 'Off (Mode bridged)' to work with your new 'modem'... which is actually a modem and a router in one package... also called gateway.

Click on the network at the top of the screen

Change the setting for the router Mode to read 'Off (Mode bridged) '.

Click Update at the bottom right of the window to save the changes and allow a minute for the time Capsule again a beautiful bright green light.

If you're still using OS X (10.6.8), post back to similar but different instructions.

  • The amber light flashes on my Satellite L755

    Hello Mr President

    I have the Toshiba Satellite laptop L755 came from Finland in 2011. I use last 4 years now and it worked fine, but since there is a few months on and the charging light started to blink a few times it s late start or sometimes sound immediately.

    Yesterday I changed the battery and the AC adapter / CC, but the problem persists. I reset the phone by removing the battery and the AC adapter / CC, hold the power for butt 30 sec button, nothing happened.

    Hello

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. If you are not able to boot up your laptop and everything that happens is a light flashing, I fear that there is a problem of electronic power supply.

    A flashing sends a code. This code can be read by technicians and by using this code, they can find what is the problem. If there is a serious problem with electronic board I assume service say that the motherboard must be replaced and it is quite expensive.

  • Laptop does not - the power adapter light flashes three times? G62 b29SA

    I was replacing the fan in my friend's laptop computer. I had a problem with the trackpad works not once I put back it together and this problem is not yet solved, but I have another problem that prevents me from getting more. Now when I press the button, the light power adapter (next to the socket for external power) flashes three times and that's it. It flashes three times, whenever I press the power button. It does this even with a connected external power supply (I'm sure it's supposed to just stay on constantly when the charger is plugged in but the power source I have is a universal set of one to 19 V - he was fed up with this trendy before but I don't know if it was taken in charge of it). Any advice?

    I have the charger of my friend and now it starts very well. There seems to be a lot of sense for the three flashes based on my Internet research, but in this case, it seems that it is a way to indicate a low battery.

  • dv4-1365dx caps and scroll lights Flash 4 times.

    When I turn on my computer, the hard drive starts but stops. The lights on the bar (next to the power button) turns on, but the screen does not work. Then, the caps lock and scroll Flash 4 times in sequence. My warranty expired last year, what should I do to fix my problem?

    Thank you for your help, you two. I had already tried a hard reset, without success. On the advice of another forum, I have remove and reinsert the memory sticks in the back of the computer. I think they must detach when it filed on an accident. In doing so, I restarted the laptop and now it works fine.

  • 15-p151nr Pavilion: Pavilion 15-p151nr dead, power supply LED flashes 3 times but does not start

    With or without the adapter is connected to the computer (well known socket), the computer will not turn on.  The LED located on the left side of the computer where the socket is attached blinks 3 times (white), but does not supply power to the top.  Another post I saw said "continuous" flashing would be the power adapter, but wanted to ensure that it is in fact the problem before buying a new...  Any help would be great!

    I understand that the computer will not turn on. However, when you connect the AC adapter of the power port light flashes 3 times.  Please check that the power cord is not one of the recall. HP laptop AC Power Cord Safety retirement program and replacement announced August 26, 2014 .  You use a power bar?  Have you tried a different outlet? Here is a link to the HP laptops - tests and using the AC adapter which can also help.

  • Satelite L775 used high power - orange light blinks 5 times

    Greetings,

    I bought my Toshiba Satelight new l775 7 months ago, it's so crazy. It used to be on, I use the laptop connected to the adapter 4 to 8 hours a day, then the laptop goes unused and unplugged for 16 to 20 hours a day.

    This is my 3rd phone, I know that I put more tension on the previous two (HP and Acer). I've never had a laptop go on me this quick, even this acer laptop $ 300 crossed more tension and never went out in the 15 months that I got it.

    My laptop backup is a HP of 4 years, I've had it for 4 years, its fell several times, used and abused still underway! I just had to level of ram and hard drive. But, this Toshiba! She was so beautiful when I saw him!

    I have never dropped it, never spilled something on it, so why she put me through that stress at a bad time?

    A bad time because even if I'm under warranty, I'm leaving on vacation in 2 days! I need it, I'm not trying to take my old HP that came out in 2008.

    I can't afford to send my Toshiba for 2 weeks, not immediately.

    Today, my anti-virus software was his typical scheduled scan, I didn't charge the laptop, because I was out of work, so when I leave the laptop gets used more and charged additionally. I look at the laptop and its judgment, I just thought, O... my battery died, I would plug in the adapter and do some reading. Nothing good happened. 8 hours later, I worked on it for more than 8 hours, I searched all over google, many forums, none of the following solutions worked for me.

    Disconnect the battery and press power for 30 seconds
    Unplug the adapter and press power for 30 seconds
    Disconnect the battery and the adapter and press power for 30 seconds

    (of course after the 30 sec thing, I tried turns on normally, with or without battery and power adapter).

    I pulled the little battery round, hard drive, memory sticks (even changed the 2 around and I tried each one solo) I tried without any ram. I unplugged all the excess material, the only extra things I had was my usb mouse, but I unplugged that, even pulled the CD-ROM drive.

    I removed all water-cooling, open the laptop to see if I saw something a coward, I don't see anything, the part where the adapter will seem a little loose, but it seems to go all the way and fine. I pushed hard and still nothing.

    One thing I will say... I read at least 8 other fairly new poster of Toshiba satellite owners with similar problems of their laptop does not turn on. This isn't a good glance, since this is the first product of Toshiba, that I bought it and it costs $500 more than my acer laptop which gave me no problem in my 15 months of owning...
    I'm not belittling Toshiba immediately, this problem might be a small question (I hope), I could be my fault, so I'm not belittling Toshiba again because I like a lot about this laptop, especially the graphics!

    Return to this topic after watching the discussions of people with similar problems, I noticed, nobody had the same exact problem I'm having. See most of the threads I have read, people would still get the orange light when the battery has been driven. I ONLY get the orange light when the battery is in the laptop. I try and power without the battery and nothing happens, no light flashes. Many other people were always other color lights or lights in different locations, my only light flashes 5 times, the second place left and is orange.

    The only light that blinked in the last 8 hours is the second light from the left (I think it's the power light) and it flashes orange or maybe its red light... but when I press the power (I tried holding, tapping, etc...) that the orange light blinks 5 times and stops, nothing happens I don't hear any readers of spinning, everything is just dead.

    Thanks for the time and help!

    Hi a8000

    Looks like you already tried all possible solutions
    The flashing light indicates that there is a possible hardware failure, but it is not possible to say what part is malfunctioning, it might be the motherboard
    However, the guarantee seems to be valid so don t waste time and report it to the service provider in your country, they should solve this Toshiba!

  • Airport Time capsule not found

    My time capsule is not backup using time machine. My computer can't find it. Here is the message I get when I try to manually back up:

    The backup drive is not available. Make sure that the backup disk is connected, or select a different backup disk.

    I unplugged the capsule of time and still nothing. I have however reset my wifi last week and this is maybe the reason why I lost the connection? Do I have to reset my capsule? PS. the light on the time capsule is green so its supposed to work properly.

    Ive also tried to manually connect to my backup drive and nothing.

    Can I reset my capsule? What are the consequences of this?

    Thanks for your help.

    Turn off your Mac and your Time Capsule

    Wait a few seconds, then put back them up again and wait a few minutes

    If you open AirPort Utility on your Mac... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)... appear to time Capsule?

    Time Capsule appears there under the shared position on the left side of a Finder window Panel?

    There is more to do... but these things have to work before you can move forward.

  • Time Capsule loses connection to the internet every day

    I have a time Capsule airport of 5th generation TB 3 (802.11 AC, A1470).  For the past year, I lost the connection Wireless to the internet once a week or more.  In recent weeks, he has taken place more frequently and often now also 3 - 4 times / day.  During the internet cut, the light on the Time Capsule still green watch, but none of my devices are able to get to the wireless (3 iPhones, iPod Touch, iMac and 2 MacBook Air, Bose Speaker).   I can restore internet connectivity by cutting and then by restarting the power of the time Capsule.    All phones and computers are running the latest software updates.  Airport Time Capsule is running 7.7.3

    We do not know if you have a service provider problem, a problem of modem or a matter of Time Capsule.

    Provider number... check with your service provider to ask them if they are experiencing loss of momentary service due to new installations of equipment on their service. They will most certainly say that their service was perfect and the problem lies elsewhere, but it does not hurt to check.

    Modem question... If the modem loses its connection to the service from the provider, even just for a moment, then the Internet will go down and the time Capsule which landed.  Unfortunately, there is no easy way to test the modem.  All you can do is connect a computer directly to the modem for a few days and check the connection from time to time to see if it fell.

    If so, this indicates that you that you might have a problem with the son of Internet that come into your home to the wall outlet, if you do not want your provider to send a technician to check and test the line to come in your House.

    If the wiring checked out OK, then you may have a problem of modem and the modem will probably be replaced... regardless of his age. If the modem is more than 4-5 years old, then it really must be replaced at this point.

    If you have not replaced the Ethernet cable from the modem in a few years, it would be a great time to do this.  There are some modems that just don't get along well with Apple routers... Motorola 6121 SB, SB 6141 and SB 6183 come to mind.  What is the number and model of your modem?

    Matter of Time Capsule... If there is no connection drops during your modem 2-3 days 'test' with a computer connected directly to the modem, then the time Capsule becomes the suspect.  About everything you can do in this case is to reset the device back to the default and then put settings in place again to see if this will help the issue. If you don't want to do it... and you have an Apple Store close to home... you can take the time Capsule to them and make them run tests on the Time Capsule.

    As you can imagine, 99 times out of 100, no problem you will find when you take the Capsule in the Apple Store because the drops intermittent are by far the most difficult problem to resolve.

  • Aspire V5 on used to be able to. Power light blinks 5 times.

    Daughter finally used the laptop on battery and ran down id by pulling it completely until the computer turns off. She plugged the power cord and it would not come when you press the power button.  Laptop has been plugged in overnight and this morning same problem - just power light flashes five times when you press the power button. This is the same behavior so plugged in to the power supply or not. I tried holding down the power button. Tried with battery removed and a/c power, but then no light at all.  I tried removing the battery and the power of the a/c, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds, then install the battery and plug in power a/c, but no difference.  I tried another a/c adapter and no difference. Any ideas?

    I had an object hold down the power button on all day.  Now I plugged in the power of a/c, and it began immediately.  Problem solved.
