I want to use my Time Capsule as a backup via ethernet device but it interfere with the Wi - Fi

I bought a new Time Capsule (TC) to use as a backup device Time Machine.  Then, I learned that my place of work does not allow me to create my own wifi network.  I connected to the CT with an ethernet cable and turned off the wifi using Airport utility.  Automatic backups to decide using just the cable ethernet, as expected.  However, whenever I plug the ethernet cable from the TC to my laptop (MacBook Pro under OS X 10.10.5), the laptop refuses to use the actual wifi to my work network.  It's like the ethernet connection turns off the wifi connection, even if the laptop is always connected to the wifi (according to the network in the banner at the top of the screen icon).  Unplug the cable immediately gives me access wifi again.

Any suggestions on how to disable this "feature" where to plug the ethernet cable disables the wifi connection?  Thank you very much!

Note that I have not connected to the LAN Time Capsule.  It is completely autonomous.

  • Can I use old time capsule for storage only with a new airport extreme (standard want latest HQ)?

    I have a time Capsule elders (802.11n). I would like to know if I can still use this time Capsule only as a network storage device, if I decide to build my network with a new Airport Extreme (802.11ac). If I can do that, how would I set up the network to continue automatic backups with a router to update?

    To do what you want, the new AirPort Extreme 802.11ac would be installed as the "main" network router The time Capsule would be connected to the AirPort Extreme, using a wired Ethernet cable connection, and the time Capsule should be configured to run in bridge with the service Mode Wireless off.

    Any Mac you want to save in the time Capsule would need to have Time Machine preferences on each Mac adjusted to ensure that the time Capsule has been set as the target for backup.

    If you decide to add the AirPort Extreme, post back for more information at this time, if you need installation instructions step by step.

  • Can you use a time capsule to back up a HP computer to window 10

    Things would be tons easier if you purchased a USB simple and plugged directly on the HP laptop for backups.

    If you really don't want to do things the hard way... you will need software of PC which is able to save to a network drive.  95% of the product to PC Backup software does not back up to a network drive.

  • need help to set up time capsule as a backup only

    I used Time Capsule as a router wifi and backup for several years.  The wifi didn't give me the whole House coverage so I bought the mesh network eero newly released product. I still want to use my Time Capsule for backup and, as he already has about two years of backup on this subject, I don't want to lose these backups. I created a new network for eero routers but gave the network of the same name and password as the old TC network so that all my devices would automatically connect to the new network.  That has worked well.  Is it possible to connect the time Capsule to the my wireless network so that my MacBook and MBP my wife will continue to save on the network they were?  The eero router has two Ethernet ports on the back and the two are to be used (one for the modem, the other for Sonos) so I do not have an available port to use.  Can I buy a switch if I have to, but if there is a wireless solution I would rather.

    I also have a desktop Mac that has saved on the TC and it's my main computer.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Is it possible to connect the time Capsule to the my wireless network so that my MacBook and MBP my wife will continue to save on the network they were?

    No, you cannot join the TC now network a wireless router not apple. Apple has removed this feature because he was too... too slow, unreliable and missing too many apples.

    The eero router has two Ethernet ports on the back and the two are to be used (one for the modem, the other for Sonos) so I do not have an available port to use.  Can I buy a switch if I have to, but if there is a wireless solution I would rather.

    You can run the TC between eero router and the sonos.

    Connect the wan port on TC eero and Sonos to the TC lan port. Configure the TC in Bridge mode. Disable the wireless sound. (Or you can leave the wireless on but use a different name for your eero wireless now).

    The TC will work like a switch... this side of it will work fine.

    How well the works of TC depends on the OS everything works... You can find it is actually necessary to paginate on the TC to make backups of the laptops wireless. Apple has made changes to the DNS system that broke network so that it can be impossible for computers discover the TC after a few hours after a reboot.

    Give it a try... If this does not work then you need to be more creative.

    The TC can connect through ethernet in the desktop computer. But for this, it must be configured with a different range of IP addresses for the rest of the network. Again, you can use wireless on... but the laptop will have to make backups by a different method. It gets complicated very quickly.

    Tell me what IP range using the eero router?

    I can make a few suggestions more as soon as we clear.

  • Can I use my time capsule for wired Internet?

    The fundamental question is, I can connect my time capsule to my wireless internet router and then use the capsule to connect my iMac to the Internet with an Ethernet cable?

    The back story: I have an i7 iMac late 2009 that has worked perfectly until that somewhere around OS x Lion. The update came, and suddenly the wifi became shotty; intermittent connectivity that could last from 2 hours to 2 minutes and often, the computer would suddenly turns off. So, I just took an Ethernet cable from my gateway wireless comcast directly to my time capsule and then another was running for the TC to the iMac. It worked perfectly when the router and the iMac were in the same room. Since then, we moved and there is only a single coaxial connection of work in the new House, and this room that can hold your desktop. Now, I searched high and low for a fix for the problem of wifi, without success; reset the PRAM, change the wireless channel reset wireless packet, you name it I tried it (with the exception of a reinstallation of firmware lion before the airport summary-pretend). I really do not have the money to have someone come run an Ethernet cable through my walls now or to understand the situation of coaxial cable (I tried to do it me but there are about 10 outputs and the room that I want to use seems to actually be connected directly on a former satellite Hughes-NET on the side of the House). Now, this wireless to the dream of the Ethernet connection is my only option... Anyway I can make it work?

    The fundamental question is, I can connect my time capsule to my wireless internet router and then use the capsule to connect my iMac to the Internet with an Ethernet cable?

    The answer is not quite as simple.

    Yes... If your 'hand' wireless router is another Apple wireless router.

    No.... If your 'hand' wireless router is a part 3.

    However, you have two options if you have a 3rd party router that provides to your wireless network:

    (1) add an AirPort Express and it set up to 'join' the network wireless provided by your 3rd party product. Then, the AirPort Express can provide wired Ethernet cable of the Time Capsule and the iMac can connect to the time Capsule using Ethernet as well.

    (2) If you can not run the Ethernet cable... (always the best performance option)... a pair of Ethernet over Powerline adapters could be able to send the Ethernet signal via power lines the existing AC in your House.  In other words, the theory with EoP devices is that you already have the wiring in place, you must just adapters.

    An adapter would be located near your router 'primary' and plugged into an outlet. A short Ethernet cable connects to the router to the EoP adapter.  In contrast, an another EoP adapter is plugged into a power outlet near the time Capsule and a short Ethernet cable connects from the adapter to the time Capsule. Then, the iMac connects to time Capsule using a different Ethernet cable as well.

  • Can I use a Time Capsule 2 TB model a1409 as a backup hd

    Can I use a Time Capsule 2 TB model a1409 as a backup hd?

    Potentially Yes. Your goal is to use the time Capsule to back up or duplicate Macintosh HD to your MacBook Pro? In the first case, you would use just Time Machine. For the latest, you can use third-party utilities, such as Carbon Copy Cloner or data backup to name a few.

    Whatever utility use you it can work with the Capsule of time as a backup destination.

  • I used a time capsule in my house.  Now, I have another network put in place and would like to set my time for back ups and NOT as a WiFi capsule

    I used a time capsule in my house.  Now, I have another network put in place and would like to set my time for back ups and NOT as a WiFi capsule

    If it is possible to turn off the WiFi on the Time Capsule, which only leaves you with the option to back up your Mac (s) using a wired Ethernet cable connection between the Mac (s) and the Time Capsule.

    Are you OK with that?

  • I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices.

    I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?

    Please advise...

    The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.

    What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?

    Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.

    You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.

    I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive

    For the storage of the files it is fine.

    For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.

    And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.

    Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.

  • Can I use my Time Capsule as an external hard drive for my xbox one?

    My Xbox One has only to a 500G hard drive, so I can't download all my games.  Can I use my Time Capsule instead?

    I don't think so.. An Xbox supports USB drives.

    http://support.Xbox.com/en-us/Xbox-one/games/manage-storage

    It will be the reformat format xbox for games... you can not download games on general storage... you can use it for the media.

    http://forums.Xbox.com/xbox_support/xbox_one_support/f/4269/t/1974401.aspx

    Any SIN should work as a source for the media... but TC is a mute like a hard disk of Board of Directors in a router if you still need a PC to offer support to the network.
