• Old Time Capsule join new network

  I plan to upgrade my home network by buying a new Airport Extreme with 802.11ac as main router and let old TimeCapsule join the new network.

  

  I would like to know it's installation work? Let's all backup Time Machine of my MIC works well? Thank you.

  Unlike the AirPort Express, you cannot configure the old Time Capsule to join an existing network to use as a wireless Ethernet bridge. Instead, it will have to be configured to extend the network of the new extreme wireless if you want that connection between them in order to be wireless. This would still allow the Ethernet ports of the TC for your MacBook Pro to use for connectivity.

• Time Capsule gen more recent problems PPPoE

  Hi, I have problems with the PPPoE connection in last TC with 7.7.7 firmware on it. When I put my dsl bridge modem and use the pppoe client in TC he just can't get IP address. I need reboot/update of TC for like 10 times or more to make it work. When I put my dsl router mode and I use TC only as DHCP server it works perfectly. What is the problem? Should I get RMA?

  I discovered, when I enter my details PPPoE client PPPoE TC and I put any name service, that I can not get the Internet to work, when I erase this service name I get all green lights and BAM, my internet connection works. But now is real problem, when I want to change something, for example DHCP reservations or anything else. If I click on update and the Service name field is empty so I can't have a internet connection. I need to re - enter any name service, and then the update, and then clear the name of the service for the empty field, then the work of internet connection. So I need to restart TC 3 times if I want to get internet connection.

  Think it's a bug in the firmware a little? I had this problem on 7.7.3 firmware also Pls help

• Extend my cable modem network via Airport express and Time Capsule

  I am trying to expand my home network through my Airport express AND a Time Capsule. Installation of extension through the airport was easy and successful. I then tried to expand further with Time Capsule, but it gives me the opportunity to launch a new network. What do different to fix my Tim Capsule to my global network?

  I then tried to expand further with Time Capsule

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to do what you want... given that the function of "extend a wireless network" Apple will not accept to be extended once the network is not two.

  The other question that you probably, it is that unless your 'main' router is also another router from Apple, the Express is not really 'extension' of the network at all, despite what you think.  More likely, the Express is "membership" in the network. It can be used to connect a USB printer remote in this environment or for use with AirPlay... but the Express doesn't "spread" or "repeat" when he joined the network.

  If you want to check if the Express is really extend the network, and you have a Mac laptop... after back and provide you with a few steps.

  But even if the Express could be the extension of the network... Time Capsule will have to connect to the network using a permanent, wired cables Ethernet... ideally to your main router, but it might work OK if you connect to the Express.

• Having WiFi problems could be Time Capsule

  I have an Arris 6190 modum, but I have the old model of the time Capsule that I use for my main router as well as two airports hard apple wired connected. Comcast came out, and they suggested that the old time Capsule could be the problem. Have not disappeared even though the storage on the older, therefore hoped not to buy a new. Someone at - it experience with this? Would also need to buy new airports as well?  Thank you.

  What exact model is your 'old' Time Capsule?

  However, you should be aware that there are several posts here in communities of Apple support about Arris/Motorola SB61XX-series modems with 802.11n base stations or 802.11ac airport. This is not bad in itself, but they do not seem to 'play nice' together. The most common symptoms reported are slow data transfer rates and inconsistent Internet connectivity.

  If this is the case for you, the basic option is to replace one or the other. Depending on how old your Time Capsule is, it may be due for a replacement.

• BT SmartHub with airport Time Capsule

  I have been using my Airport Extreme (Time Capsule), connected to an infinite number of BT Modem for quite awhile this provision of my wireless network and a large drive to transfer data between iMac and MacBook pro (etc) (I poured the Bt HomeHub 3 in favor of the Airport Extreme). Unfortunately I had to also provide a down WiFi Repeater for total WiFi coverage throughout the House. I just got a new SmartHub BT who now gives me a WiFi coverage at exceptional speeds throughout the House (it's been so far with 2 Infinity Modem).

  The problem I have now is that I can't effectively use Time Capsule as my NAS (or at least is what seems to be the case). If I leave on time capsule, its wireless network is visible as before, but of course I can't use it as I have the wireless network BT providing WiFi Internet connectivity. So how to connect the clip time to my 'new' network so that it is visible both the iMac and the MacBook only as a drive.

  You have a few choices, both methods require that the Time Capsule (TC) keep in touch with the new HomeHub BT by Ethernet:

  1. Reconfigure the TC as a bridge and disable its wireless radios.
  2. Reconfigure the TC as a bridge and then configure the HomeHub and TC in a mobile network. It would be more logical if you need to expand the network of the HomeHub wireless.

• Best config Time Capsule - Airport Express

  Hi all.

  My home network at present are as follows:

  -My ISP, with a disabled Wi - Fi router;

  -Mac and PC connected via ethernet cables using the router's LAN ports.

  -Airport Express (WAN port) connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router that gives Wi - fi in the House: note that the router and AirPort Express are in different rooms (router: bedroom, AirPort Express: living room)

  I want to add a time Capsule to my network, but I want to put in the living room, where the Express is at the moment. I don't have a single cable ethernet connecting the bedroom to the living room because there is not enough space in the walls of two sons.

  What I would do is:

  -Time capsule in the living room, connected via an ethernet cable to the router, generating the signal Wi - Fi;

  -AirPort Express connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router, which extends signal Wi - Fi in the bedroom.

  This configuration can work? And how? Should I use the same SSID?

  If this is not possible, my only option is to connect the Time Capsule via ethernet to the router and then connect the WAN port on the Express to a port of time Capsule, right? Would not be my best installation in the House, but if it's the only one that works, I'll go with it. If I didn't have the problem of the single cable connecting the two rooms, everything would be super easy. Extending Wi - Fi wireless is not in my case, having this second wired option.

  Any other suggestion is appreciated!

  -AirPort Express connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router, which extends signal Wi - Fi in the bedroom.

  This configuration can work? And how? Should I use the same SSID?

  Of course, it works very well. Download Time Capsule set up and running using Apple "Installation Wizard", and then reset the Express back to the settings by default and set up using Configuration Apple "Assistant" as well.

  The wizard will affect automatically the same SSID and password to the AirPort Express, which uses the Capsule, so by default, you will have what is called a "mobile network". For the configuration, I would recommend that you temporarily connect the Express to the time Capsule using a short Ethernet cable to spare before you run the installer... no matter how long will do.  Connect from a port LAN <>- on the Time Capsule to the "O" in L'Express WAN port. Once the Express is set up, you can move it to the location of the router to establish Ethernet connection here.

  If for any reason, you want the AirPort Express to use a different SSID as the time Capsule, you can use AirPort Utility to go back and change the SSID (and the password as well if you want) on the AirPort Express Terminal.

• Invisible router 'behind' the time Capsule

  Hej there.

  technical question, I don't know why it works like this.

  our network configuration looks like:

  1 - modem DSL (free WIFI), working as router and DHCP in the network (192.168.1.1)

  2 Time Capsule is connected to the Modem DSL-(via the WAN Port of the TC) and works as the Apple-WLAN for all wireless devices. In Mode "Bridge".

  All WLAN devices are connected to the WLAN Time Capsule.

  Question / problem:

  Why I am not able to communicate with a wireless device connected to the WLAN Time Capsule for the DSL Modem using a browser and open the Web of the DSL Modem interface to 192.168.1.1. ?

  Any ideas what is wrong? Thank you for your support

  Question / problem:

  Why I am not able to communicate with a wireless device connected to the WLAN Time Capsule for the DSL Modem using a browser and open the Web of the DSL Modem interface to 192.168.1.1. ?

  What IP address is your computer?

  Your computer MUST be the IP address 192.168.1.x (x is a number between 2-254)

  Please open your airport utility... Click on the TC so that it displays the summary and page after the screenshot of it.

  What model is your TC?

  (I can get this info from the screenshot if you post at least for what I need).

  It seems that some questions may arise.

  Could also contribute to a screenshot of the IP configuration on the computer.

  You enabled IPv6 link-local only?

  A bridge TC may have problems of routing on the WAN port when filled... Since your TC is filled please connect the modem to the LAN of TC port instead of the WAN port... Restart both routers + computer and tell me if this solves the problem.

• Time Capsule loses connectivity

  I read several threads about people having problems with their wifi and their Time Capsule.  Son as:

  Problem WiFi fall on Time Capsule

  However, my problem seems to be just a little different and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what is the problem.  Sometimes I lose a wifi signal as the thread above suggests, but most of the time he manifests a little different.  In my case, I have a TC of 4th Gen (A1409) I have been physically power cycling about 5 times a day due to lost connectivity.  The TC in these cases never stops a broadcast signal, but the internet connection is lost.  This happens on all my devices (MacBook Pro, iPhone, Kindle, etc.).  The green light is on the front of the TC, which means everything is good, but its obviously not.  If I turned off the TC, then return on power, everything works again.  Because I have a success rate of 100% for connectivity at the time where the power cycling the TC, I am quite confident that this isn't the cable modem.

  Until I followed the instructions to reset the TC and decommission the FW to 7.6.1 on the other thread I just want to check that the proper action to take for this problem as well.  So, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  On a side note, I find it very disappointing reviews suggest these CT only last about 3 years until they flake.  It seems absolutely ridiculous given the cost of these things.  If I bought a router generic $15 maybe, but how can Apple do not have a product that lasts for more than 3 years?  If this is the case, I almost certainly will not replace it with a new TC... I'll opt for a standard wireless router and attach a network drive for half the price.

  I need to clarify my previous post a little.  I have my entire House wired Ethernet, although 95% of the vehicles used are wireless in the House.  That said, I have an AirPort Extreme, located upstairs in my house (the TC is in the basement).  AirPort Extreme is wired in the TC and acts as a bridge that runs from my network wireless in my house.  I named it differently, making it easy to know that I'm connected to point access.  When I lose the connection, wifi signal generated by the TC (AppleNet/AppleNet 5 GHz) is no longer detectable.  The wifi signal generated by my AirPort Extreme (AppleNet2) is detectable.  But even if you are connected to it, there is no internet connection.  Thus, not only the TC is down its wireless signal, its apparently lost all connectivity even for cable connections.  If it was just a wifi problem, whatever it is connected to my Airport, which is wired to the back of the TC, would probably stay connected, but they do not.

• 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.

  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.

• connection 2 TB time capsule to MacBook Pro to migrate files

  I just did a clean install of El Capitan on this MacBook Pro 2009. I backed up on my two 2 TB Time Capsule wireless and an external hard drive of 1 TB via Time Machine.

  I downloaded all the files that I can use from the external drive but need access to the time Capsule for the remaining files. The reason is that 2 months ago exceeded the 1 TB external drive backup so the following files are now only on the Time Capsule.

  My problem connects the time Capsule to the laptop. I placed a to Laptop ethernet cable and and on one of the <->ports on the rear of the time Capsule, but the hard drive is not mounted. It does not appear in my finder.

  Is there a way I can access these recent files on drive my Time Capsule around this problem?

  Thank you

  The TC appears in Airport utility?

  If so you can mount it on your computer.

  I would say that you do first of all is a short reset... It's called soft reset... Press the button to reset for 1 sec. The front LED should start orange flashing and you should be able to then mount in the finder.

  No chance do a full factory reset. .. No file is all lost it.

  Universal factory reset

  Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

  NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

  Airport utility, do a minimum install... just if you have a suitable name for the TC and its wireless etc.

  Once you complete this tour around your network wireless off in the laptop and use just ethernet.

• How to use Time Capsule with Time Machine and no Wifi

  Situation.  Late 2009 iMac with OSX 10.7.5.  Used Airport Extreme since purchase in early 2010.  Use a modem cable from Arris SB 6141.  Decided to upgrade to 2 TB Time Capsule.  And the problems started.  I put TC in place... Finally, with the help of the people of this forum (thanks).  Transport CANADA does not have the internet connection to the Modem.  New to this forum I discovered that the TC does not like the SB6141.  So I put the Airport Extreme in the network and work like a charm wireless.

  Now, how can I connect the TC to the network or the Mac to use the part Time Machine?

  I tried to put the TC in Airport Extreme with an ethernet cable.  First, the iMac would not recognize the local network by removing printers and the other external USB drive; and my TV got confused on what wifi network with the same name in which to connect.

  Before I hit the reset button on the time Capsule I tried to ask what would be the right steps.

  Thanks to the folks on this forum. Thanks for your help.  Hope you all a good holiday this year.

  You should not have really big questions on Lion.

  Connect the WAN of TC port on the ethernet port LAN AE.

  Configure the TC in bridge. I disable the wireless to EI and let it run in the TC... that's much better work in this configuration.

  The Mac that will backup must really be connected to the TC in direct wireless or ethernet... This will help loads.

  The wireless work better on the TC... If it isn't, then you can swap EI... but I'd be surprised if that was the case.

• My Airport Time Capsule can act as a WIRELESS access point

  Hello.

  I brought a Time Capsule with my Mac Pro. It worked well since yesterday.

  I have set up the time Capsule as a WIFI, bypass at my local network access point. There is a router (cable) works at home.

  It's my Mac Pro AirPort Utility and my iPhone, my Time Capsule is displayed with an exclamation point saying "device not found". I can't connect to the disk on this subject by afp share, or smb. Time Machine function is gone too. He failed trying to connect to the share drive from another computer connected to the time Capsule by cable network.

  But at the same time, WiFi works well.

  I tried to recycle energy. Sharing disk will be available. But if I start the Time Machine backup, it will not be a few seconds.

  Any idea?

  Thank you.

  There are several posts here related the issue.

  Luckily, you have set up your new Time Capsule for Back to My Mac (BTMM)?

  If so, the 'temporary' solution is to delete/disable the option of the CCMM, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the base and then station, select change.
  • On the tab of the Base Station, go back to the section of my Mac at the bottom of the window.
  • If you have entries here, select it and click then the minus sign "-" button to remove it.
  • Click on update and allow the base station restart.

  If you have not enabled CCMM, we have other options for you to try.

• WiFi work stopped on Time Capsule, but manages to get internet

  Part of our time Capsule Wifi stopped working in our office.  He continues to receive internet because everything that is connected to the internet can connect properly, including our VoIP phone system.  It just seems to be the Wifi on the Time Capsule.  The network will appear as an option on our devices, but when we try to connect, it continues to request the password.  We tried to reset and unplug, but we are unable to join the wireless network.  The time Capsule is two years old, so I don't feel like it should be failed.  Any suggestions?

  WiFi may fail.

  Please do a full factory reset.

  NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

  Run through the installation wizard in airport utility

  Make sure you only give a name short and simple wifi... No, Apple has recommended. < 10 characters, pure alphanumeric characters.

  for example TCwifi

  Or even give the 2 strips of different names, for example TC24ghz and TC5ghz

  Password use WPA2 Personal, pure from 8 to 20 alphanumeric characters.

  If you still have questions wireless... the TC may be broken.

  If you have applecare on a computer or an ipad or apple TV the TC is covered and get Apple to replace.

  If it is less than 2 years old and you don't have applecare you can always buy.

  Is this more or less 2 years... It is essential... If it is still 1 day less than you can be replaced.

  Buy applecare on any product that you already have still eligible or buy a Gen3 Apple TV... don't open it. Buy applecare for it... get your TC replaced under the applecare... return the apple TV for refund.

• Time Capsule as the Red unit

  Hi, my question is if the time Capsule can be configured as a network drive on my Mac. Right now I have a Mac Air with 64 GB and storage little, I should keep my pictures and videos on an external drive, but which is available at all times.

  This is a frequently asked question and the answer is, Yes, but with reservations.  This is one of the many good write-up by LaPastenague: use Time Capsule as a network (file server) drive?

  The only addition I would make is today, there is a backup software product called ChronoSync that can back up discs Time Capsule, inside and outside, on a regular basis.
