Can I CONNECT TIME CAPSULE to COMCAST without wireless/WiFi?

Hello

...

I know I'm out of my League here... But...

I have a new Mac Pro... and I also connected to a router (modem) comcast wireless... I bought a time capsule from the airport. Are they compatible? Should I have them both?

There must be several options, but I'm limited inskill!

Thank you

Richard

I have a new Mac Pro... and I also connected to a router (modem) comcast wireless... I bought a time capsule from the airport. Are they compatible? Should I have them both?

When you say that comcast I presume it is the router modem cable or fiber (DSL)?

Anyway your TC is compatible...

You need both... TC has no modem... If you must continue to run the Comcast modem and I would recommend that you do not touch... let it run like it's...

Connect the WAN port on the TC in the Comcast router LAN port...

Just to be clear, the answer to your title is no. a very solid no deeply upsetting. You cannot connect TC to Comcast wifi... you need to connect by ethernet... This is the one and only way... and you cannot disconnect the ethernet after connection... it should stay like this...

If there is a problem, there are solutions... As adapters EOP or a second terminal airport. Tell us if you want this specific info.

Open the airport on your Mac utility (or use iOS version is often more reliable) and configure the TC... It is almost entirely automatic... but if you are unsure, we can help you...

You start the installation wizard by clicking on other WiFi devices (1) in the upper left corner.

The installation wizard will cost essentially through the configuration.

To do Time Machine backup make sure that you connect to the TC wireless not comcast gateway.

There are other things... start with that and let us know how you go.

  • The Time Capsule and Comcast router compatibility

    I plan on buying Time Capsule.

    My ISP is Comcast and borrow the gateway (modem and router together)

    Comcast has not recommended the use of Time Capsule as wifi router

    I would like to know if there are problems (slow wifi, etc.) using Time Capsule with Comcast.

    It is very well - at least, it will work without problems.

    You will probably find yourself with two wireless networks - the Comcast box and time Capsule (from memory, you can not deactivate their wireless gateway), but since you get to choose which network to join you shouldn't have a problem.

  • can't see time capsule, but can use the wifi and mount

    I have a 5th Gen (A1470) Time Capsule on our network. The WAN ethernet port is connected to a router. The TC has a static IP address, Wifi is enabled (on the TC) and router mode (bridged).

    I have hard reset the Time Capsule and reconfigured as above before you perform backups on all devices.

    We have two iMacs, two MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro (2009) backup fine both via ethernet (via a router and also directly in the transport CANADA ports) and connections Wifi of TC. One of the iMac running Yosemite the rest are El Capitan.

    However, I have an iMac on the WiFi network that cannot find the TC in the Time Machine or the Airport utility preferences. However, it can join the network Wifi of TC and attach it using the Finder. I've also disabled Wifi and iMac directly connected to an ethernet port on the TC, but he can't find it in the Time Machine or the Airport utility preferences.

    I followed the instructions from LaPastenague to Re: utility Airport can't find Time Capsule. I also reset the PRAM and SMC. No luck.

    The iMac is a 2011 model.

    I have an iMac on the WiFi network that cannot find the TC in the Time Machine or the Airport utility preferences. However, it can join the network Wifi of TC and attach it using the Finder. I've also disabled Wifi and iMac directly connected to an ethernet port on the TC, but he can't find it in the Time Machine or the Airport utility preferences.

    Just to check... what operating system is this iMac?

    You have ipv6 local link only the value... This is important.

    Make sure your network is running DHCP and DNS address is the same as the other computers.

    Make sure that the computer name is short, without spaces and pure alphanumeric characters.

    No luck, it's time to do a reset of the TM.

    Pondini instructions still work.

    I would remove plist Time Machine and redo the configuration... you don't lose the current backup... you may even do this...

    A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/A4.html

    Honestly if that don't fix it... it is time to download and use Carbon Copy Cloner... because the TM became too difficult...

    Depending on what operating system you are on. TM has a version of command line... TMutils.

    I would like to confirm Apple it have not eliminated.

    I rarely use... I think that if it does not work via the installation of normal preferences... then it became time to use CCC which is what I do. Or run them both so I don't have a good backup.

  • Can I use time capsule as external hard drive?

    Can I use time capsule as external hard drive so that I can access a file or a specific folder by searching for its name?

    A TC is now and for always player network... no external. So there are limits to its use.

    If you are multitasking your TC with Time Machine and then using a DMG file as a virtual drive is better than directly copy files... However sharing becomes impossible. One person at a time can open the DMG.

    See pondini. T3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

    Old but still interesting to read.

    You can certainly create a folder on the TC and copy your files on it, and then perform a search. Research is slow on wireless is so the speed of transfer of large files. With the help of ethernet is certainly encouraged to desktop computers.

    Sharing folders on the TC is also now more difficult with increasing security at El Capo and OS later. You do not create on the computer records are not available. And even the ones you create can occasionally and autonomous change permissions (since the TC controls drive not the computer), you lock your own files on... I answer these questions once a week.

    Not all software on Mac supports using network drives. The most difficult is photos that can corrupt the library due to disconnections... which are the most common wireless. Be warned backups are important and not easy to do because of the slowness of the USB port on the TC and you end up really need to another location on the network for backup on.

    Generally, I advise the people not not to use the TC for direct files... That is to say, if you edit a document, make sure that it is on a local drive... When you have finished the document, you can copy it to the network drive and delete the local version. Easy for... not so easy documents for photos with major libraries.

    A TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup impossible network drives... This means that no backup will be your files in the TC, unless you take the initiative and do it.

  • Can I use Time Capsule as a router to connect wirelessly with a pc

    I can all my products easily connect to the internet using Airport Time Capsule? I know I can save wireless my Apple products, but can I also backup my computers portable windows on the Time Capsule via a cable?

    Yes, but windows esp... 10 windows can be uncooperative.

    Also I do not know at all the recovery will be easy depending on what backup software you plan on using.

    Don't forget the world of Windows that the TC still looks like NT Server with FAT32 drives and all the inherent problem that there are.

  • Can I use time capsule from Apple and an external hard drive that is connected to my Mac at the same time to save?

    I have an external hard drive (1 TB ADATA HV620) and a time capsule of Apple 2009. So far I have used the external drive-DATA to back up regularly on my Mac, but it uses one of my USB slots. I would like to start using the time capsule from Apple to everything back up, as it does so wireless, but I still want to be able to back up by using the ADATA hard drive occasionally. Is it possible to use two devices to back up or can I use only one device? Thank you.

    You can use the two devices, but Time Machine... If that's what you use to back up... can back up only to a disc at a time. So if you set up Time Machine to back up on both discs, it will support drive until one first, then the other after the first drive of the backup is complete.

  • How can I configure Time Capsule 3 to and Motorola NVG589 to access the Time Capsule backup drive?

    I have ATT Uverse service and am ok with the performance of the WiFi of the NVG589. I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network and be able to access the drive for backups Time Machine. I think I am following the steps in Airport utility, but once installation is complete I can find is no longer the time Capsule.

    I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network

    The time Capsule cannot "extend" the network Uverse using a wireless connection, if that's maybe what you're trying to do. The time Capsule can only wireless "extend" the signal of another router from Apple.

    The Capsule can be configured to extend the network to Uverse if it is connected permanently... anytime... to the Uverse router using a connection through wired Ethernet cable.

    Please specify on what you're trying to accomplish, so that we can provide the correct steps.

  • Using a Time Capsule airport on a new wifi network

    I'm trying to connect my TC Airport to a new wifi network to another location. It worked very well at the original location, used to extend an existing network of wifi, connected to the router via an Ethernet cable. In the new location, I'd rather have a wireless connection. I have tried several times to do a factory reset full and then I see the TC from the airport using the Airport utility, but it does not put in place to extend the wifi network my iMac is on (he sees a nearby network as well). I just simply want to configure my TC from the airport most convenient to save my iMac! Any ideas? Thank you!

    The TC must either connect to wireless to another router from apple... or it must be connected by ethernet... he can't extend wireless any other brand.

    If all of the TC is to is to make backups of iMac... Plug it directly by ethernet on the iMac... and use this configuration.

    Time Capsule using wired for Mac for backup only.

    If you want to have as part of the network... plug in ethernet on the main router... and the backup more wireless... but it becomes a problem where the computer don't connect directly to the TC now.

  • Apple airport time capsule 2 TB HD Wireless with encryption?

    Hello I know that the time capsule is intended for backup and knows he can have external hard drive but I heard that it can be a wireless file server.

    Now, my questions are: 1: what methods are there for this (without hard drive)

    2: is there encryption or some form of protection (password)

    3: is it a good idea for home storage or too far and sending files (I have things I want to store)

    4: and as an internet router it'll work itself flawless

    Thank you

    1: what methods are there for this (without external hard drive)

    The TC may function as a file server... It is not designed for it... but it can.

    You don't need any special method... He is, by nature, a network file server.

    2: is there encryption or some form of protection (password)

    There is password protection of disk... you can also use several names of users and passwords, but if use you it you have to use an empty disk because it completely blocks one user of another.

    Note... There is no protection if someone has physical access to the TC and press reset... any protection blows away at this moment.

    If you want encryption then using an encrypted DMG file. How to create an image (encrypted) disc protected by password - Apple support

    3: is it a good idea for home storage or too far and sending files (I have things I want to store)

    Good idea... Hmmm. compared to what? I have a synology NAS, and it's at least 2 x if it is 3 x faster... It is reliable, it is able to repair, it can save itself,

    TC is not designed for this... it can not save... so all files you use on TC will must be backed up manually or by using a tool such as the CCC... TM doesn't help... It can use the TC as a target, but not source.

    However, it is an inexpensive way in wireless storage... If you're careful.

    You can remotely using the MWAC... only from a Mac so.

    4: and as an internet router it'll work itself flawless

    It's the home router of quality... for some people, it's fine... for others it will not work... apple not allowing complex configurations... who can predict how to find you. As a network, router, there are better support out there. However if you already have an it could work ok.

  • How to set up time capsule and D-Link wireless?

    iMac, Time Capsule, D-Link modem, internet broadband

    Ethernet is the only way... the TC must be plugged into the modem Dlink... I'm sorry.

    Apple created their routers with wireless links.

    The way around it is ethernet... well the best solution.

    There are two types of replacements of ethernet...

    EOP adapters can also work if the internal power wiring matches the location. It is Ethernet over power.

    Or you can add a second wireless apple plugged on the dlink router to provide a wireless bridge. It's a bridge transparent wireless with ethernet at each end.
