My Time Capsule is reduced

• Time Capsule reducing Hardwired speed

  I have a gigabit ethernet connection and became speeds as last year.

  I recently noticed things were slow.  I'm not to lift more than 90 and 90 below.  I called my service provider who contacted the society of fiber and they claimed that I have a device that is connected that can not handle the gigabit connection.  I the end 2014 27 "iMac and the latest version of time capsule (updated to 7.7.3) so I know that they're wrong.  In addition, I received rates preceding earlier.  They had me connect my modem directly on the computer and of course I got new speeds.  Running the wired connection through the router, it seems that my time capsule limits my speed.  I Googled it and can't find anything.  Help!

  It is useful to know if the Capsule acts as a router DHCP and NAT for your network, or if your "modem" will carry the router for the network and the time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode.

  We assume that you have checked to make sure that the Ethernet cable is not in place and reducing speeds... because a bad connection will pass a Mbps 1 000 potential up to approximately 100 Mbps speeds.

  We also assume that you have turned off and restarted several times Time Capsule.

  Can you check the setting of your Time Capsule router Mode and a report on that?  To do this...

  Open the AirPort on your Mac utility (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility )

  Click on the image of the Time Capsule

  Click Edit in the window that appears

  Click on the network at the top of the screen

  Report on the current value for the router Mode

• Time Capsule freezes when I'm downloading a large file!

  Hello everyone!

  I have a very unpleasant problem with my Apple Time Capsule 2 TB 5th generation.

  I have 2 Iphones, AppleTV and 2 Macs in my wifi network, everything works great! But when I download a large file with an Internet torrent falls after 10-15 minutes... a green LED shine on the Time Capsule, Airport utility tells that is connected to the internet, but not of my devices has the internet connection. It lasts 15 to 20 minutes and internet recovers by itself. Nothing really helps with this, I tried to restart, change the settings, but nothing helped.

  WITNESS, no errors, once again, green is connected to the internet but no internet.

  My cable modem works, if I connect my appleTV to the modem cable through the cable, it will be the connection. At the same time, if I connect my appleTV to the Capsule of time via the cable when it is frozen, appleTV won't have any connection.

  The same story if I download to the hard drive of my Mac or time Capsule.

  I have an idea that Time Capsule is overheating, but again, I don't see no error.

  I'd appreciate any help!

  Torrents can overwhelm the NAT to a router table.

  In the torrent client reduce the speed and the number of seeds.

  Which modem cable do you have?

  Looks like it's a gateway device not a pure modem so the TC may be in evil mode?

  Also, who is your ISP?

  If they are moved to IPv6 which can also introduce issues.

• Time capsule of access on the Internet (PC MAC or Windows)

  Hi, I have a Time Capsule, and I want to create a folder and be able to access from anywhere on the Internet (regardless if it's on a MAC or PC based on Windows). I read several posts and google, but still I am unable to set up the time Capsule. Can any experienced user me explained step by step?

  Thank you

  SGL

  You need to tell us a few things.

  1 do you have TC as the only router in the network.

  If this is not the case, the configuration is entirely via the main modem router combo.

  Without a public IP address on the interface wan everything that is your router, you will not be able to access it remotely. For the most part, wireless, satellite or internet shared building will not allow always remote access.

  2. double NAT will never work, so if you already have another router modem the TC must be in the bridge.

  3 Apple offers NO WAY for PC/windows remote access to the TC. Neither iOS btw... the Apple of the only method allows is AFP via a Mac.

  Local people do via SMB to TC port mapping... It is poor and does not always work.

  The tool used for iOS, filebrowser shows how this is possible.

  http://www.Stratospherix.com/support/gsw_timecapsule.php?page=6Remote

  
  

  I do not recommend this somehow... It's open ports in a way that reduces your security seriously.

  I repeat... Apple has no PC access.

  4. There is a safe way to do it... buy a vpn router and use before the TC. VPN is recognized global method for secure remote access. Who will work for any device having vpn client available... OpenVPN is the easiest in terms of cost, configuration and security.

  5. There is another method entirely, and that is to store the files you need to join in the cloud... Cloud is a better resource than to use your own router as Pseudo-nuage.

  If you eliminate the need for PC access then use BTMM for access to the TC.

  CCMM is authorized only and only the Apple method which are likely to work.

  Have you even tried yet?

• Airport Apple Time Capsule vs Rogers Advanced WiFi Modem Configuration

  Between the use of the advanced WiFi modem from Rogers and airport Time Capsule from Apple - a better/more strong WiFi signal will offer?

  I'm under Apple Airport time Caro as my router now (with Rogers Advanced WiFi modem mode 'bridge').    However - my WiFi connection is weak/inconsistent even after adding 1 Airport Express to extend the network.    My Modem/router are connected with a 2 foot Cat6 my ground floor, with the Airport Express on the floor to extend the reach (via WiFi - not the ethernet connection).

  When I reset my router/modem, get full power - however, after a couple days I get slower speeds.

  Any ideas how to fix?  Users are finding you work better than the other?

  Between the use of the advanced WiFi modem from Rogers and airport Time Capsule from Apple - a better/more strong WiFi signal will offer?

  Turn on the Rogers modem in router mode and launch his wifi... Plug the TC and run it in bridge, but also launch wireless audio... There is absolutely NO reason not to use both... You will often find the 2.4 ghz superior to the airport the Rogers Wireless. Apple has deliberately reduced its speed... If you need set channels wireless manual... for example of Rogers on the TC on Channel 6 and channel 11.

  5 GHz has penetration and poor range, especially when you look at the wireless signal directly above or below any router... It is of course extremely beneficial to use ethernet between the floors... Run the Rogers down and move the TC on the floor... that gives you much better signal allows you to get the most out of two wireless routers.

  Extend (Repeater) wireless using the Express will condemn you slow wireless forever. Repeaters by their nature even halve the speed of the connection... and if you place the Express in a poor signal area... getting worse. Express should be located to midway between the two... no physical distance but the power of the signal... If it gets bad signal, it will give terrible results since its own signal will be strong for customers.

  Test it... give up the Express... run ethernet to the top of the stairs and just try it with the TC to the right place.

• Questions of Time Capsule, I have to rename my sparsebundle?

  I recently started having problems with my Airport with Time Capsule, and after doing a bunch of other updates of my system, I wonder if the name of my sparsebundle could ask questions.  A bit of history behind what I have made, please bear with me while I explain all of this.

  I bought my Airport with Time Capsule in November 2014 and it had worked well until February of this year.  We have changed our internet service provider, and the day that we did this, I had to unplugging everything on my desk to reorganize things.  I plugged everything in, my wifi was working fine, and I never had a problem with my Time Capsule, so I don't even think to check it out.  But then I got an alert one day say that my machine has not been saved in 12 days.  I tried to do a backup at this time, but it got stuck in the phase of "Looking for backup drive.  By trial and error, I found if I power cycle my Airport, I can get to find the reader and to make the backup, but it seems to be a temporary solution.  After a day or two or sometimes later that day after that the computer was put to sleep and woke up to the top, he would come back in the phase of 'Search'... ».

  I did some research online, but most of the post I found is from 2008, 2012, etc., which concerned me the info might be exceeded.  At this point, I prefer not to erase my Time Capsule and start over, so I'll try different things to see if I can solve the problem before having the extreme path again.  I ran the utility disk on the sparsebundle several times. The first time that I ran it on the iMac, there was an error, but the second time I ran it, all seemed well.  And I get this error when I backup my iMac and my MacBookPro. Both are set to save in the same time Capsule and it seems to be a problem with real time Capsule machines.

  I've done a lot of research and one of the things I found was that it might be my computer name causing some problems.  My computers have been appointed 'IMac of Lauriena' and ' Lauriena LastName MacBook Pro"(do not put my name in the post, but it's the same number of characters).  I've read since they have spaces and even the quotes could be causing the issues, so I changed the name of the two computers. I have them shortened to "Reenas_iMac" and "Reenas_MacBookPro" (although now I'm wondering if I should get rid of both the underscore character).  I also renamed "Lauriena airport Time Capsule" Time Capsule to "ReenasAirPortTimeCapsule".  After that I renamed the time Capsule, I made sure to enter Time Machine and reselect the drive to use for the backup, because he was looking for that on "Time Capsule of Lauriena airport.

  One of the things I had read was that if you changed the name of your computer, the next time that you have made a backup it would take more time to save and it would also change the name of the sparsebundle to match the computer name.  I wanted to do, since my name sparsebundle imitated my computer before names, which means there are spaces and apostrophes in names.  But to my surprise, the name has not changed. Backups lasted longer than I expected based on what I had read, but the names have remained the same.

  Until today, even with put the computer to sleep all night, the automatic backups seem to work, but I fear the name of the sparsebundle can turn against me. At this point, I'm doing everything I can to avoid future problems, and I hope I do not have to erase my sparsebundles and start over, if possible.  Especially because I get nervous at the idea of not having a backup, even if it's just for a short period of time. If it turns out that I have to do this, I'll do it, but I wanted to see if I had other options.

  So my main question becomes, would the name of my sparsebundle potentially ask questions, and if so, is there a way to change this without remove it and start again?  If it helps, I use an iMac Mid and a MacBookPro 2011 Early 2011, both El Capitan 10.11.2 running. Currently, my sparsebundle names "Of Lauriena LastName MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" and "Lauriena iMac.sparsebundle".

  I'm not loving the idea of change the sparsebundle names...

  I welcome your change of name... I think that this translates into better reliability of network... but the fact is Time Machine is a little tricky beastie and unfortunately to know when it's messed up is often to the point that you want to use.

  My recommend is exactly what you don't want to.

  I'm doing everything I can to avoid future problems, and I hope I do not have to erase my sparsebundles and start over, if possible.

  Because of mutual exclusivity to avoid future problems... and starting over. Your desire is to have your cake and eat it, but one or the other will give way.

  If you want to keep your existing backups... make an archive of airport utility to a correctly formatted disk. Just keep it 3-6 months to accumulate enough history you probably never need.

  Then do a quick erase of the TC and start over. Backups can be done much faster using ethernet... one at a time... and there is no time you will be missing a backup.

  One of the things I had read was that if you changed the name of your computer, the next time that you have made a backup it would take more time to save and it would also change the name of the sparsebundle to match the computer name.

  Just to explain this... The first part is just... a backup should take a long time because it checks the files...

  The second part is not correct... TM cannot change the name of the sparsebundle to match the name... What I expected it to do in most cases, is start a new backup. Often, it's there for that... I tested it and found that it has begun a new backup... but by design, TM does NOT use the name of the computer... It is related to the UUID of the disc.

  http://pondini.org/TM/works.html

  Read great Pondini KB if you want to better understand.

  IMHO, if it's using the existing backup... then the change of name of the computer was not relevant... and backups should go... but my confidence in TM is reduced.

  Since you seem concerned to have good backups... Let me suggest a dual approach. Keep running TM as you are... It does a good job of incremental backups.

  But download Carbon Copy clone (it of about $40 and covers multiple computers in your household). You can trial for a month to see if you really like it. Create a clone bootable on USB plugged into your computer, you need to separate those for computers... but it doesn't have to be a small disc auto powered of the same capacity as the startup disk. (or larger than files with a little space) for units 1 to are fine, unless that is your Mac has Monster drives.

  Then the trial a boot from the clone... Hold down the option key when the computer is booting and select the USB drive... and you know after a few minutes you have a completely viable functional backup. All your files will be there and everything work exactly as before... because he is a true clone.

• Time Capsule - unstable internet connection

  Using of a new airport Time Capsule and a detail Comcast modem my internet connection is intermittent.

  

  The display above goes green and then red in no obvious pattern.

  

  I don't know what to do now. In time, I started this response network screen Diagnostics went all green again. But it won't last.

  I tried the usual reset of the modem and TC. The problem affects my ethernet connected iMac and MBP of my wife.

  Any ideas?

  Re: Time Capsule - unstable internet connection

  Vice versa...

  What model is your TC? If it is earlier than later to get the A1xxx of the base number... If it's the AC model just to say... Version of ca. No number is given which is really poor.

  What model is your comcast modem? Real brand and model base please.

  More important if the comcast is actually a router... That is to say, it has more than one ethernet port. We need to know, it is actually running in Bridge mode or a router... screenshots of TC installing airport utility is more useful than the Network Diagnostics. TBH I'm surprised you even found network Diags El CAPO as they hide it very well.

  

  Please give me all with summary... as above... nothing will reduce your security. Try it with mine... even if you have a public on the WAN port IP address, it changes every time that you restart the modem... so this process, we can easily have all the details you give... unless you know the serial number of my TC... What's that serves... None...!

  NOTE... If you have a simple modem Arris begins with SB eg SB6121 SB6141 as well as other models and version AC TC... they have well known problems... Apple has not breathed a Word... but there are a lot of posts here on the problem... and it is high time that Apple fix it... because it affects no other routers... just of airports in apple...!

• Should I buy the time Capsule

  Hi all!

  I currently have an Asus router ac68u from T Mobile. It worked well this year I got it, but with one problem. USB 3 external HARD disk configuration and the service is terrible. The firmware is crippled by T-Mobile and does not have some built-in functions that it should have. I really want to be able to use it with time machine for my MacBook pro and my IMac 27 at the same time. The problem is the speed of backups and fear to use it to view files on the internet. After days of reading and research, my first thought was to replace it with a time Capsule. I would tend to think that the installer would be much less of a headache and it would be much safer way for Mac on the normal FTP or Samba which offer other routers.

  After reading so many comments, I'm wondering 3 things:

  1. the age of the technology of the time Capsule.

  2. the speed and the autonomy of the time Capsule.

  3. Wifi calling under a load.

  The peak use, there will be 14 devices share the router. But the most common are scenarios, four 802.11ac devices using Skype, youtube and Netflix at the same time with a wired broadcast LAN 4 k video peripheral. And 2 readers of streaming HD video over 802.11n.

  It strained my Asus router, but it keeps her on. My service is cable 150mg and I get full 150mg less than 30 feet with a single connected device. The T Mobile router does a good job at wifi under full load calls. I guess it's because the QoS configuration they use.

  Then the time Capsule stand or perform at least as good as my AC68U using my home or should I be looking for a monster like the 3200 AC or an AC-5300 router and buy an external hard drive. I fear that the program installation and safety, but I don't want to lose money on the Time Capsule if it cannot follow.

  You can find the specifications at support.apple.com/specs/. Then select the time Capsule to find the specs on all models from the beginning. They were initially released in 2009.

  My preference would be an Airport Extreme Base Station with a connected backup USB drive. Probably just as good as the time Capsule but more reliable. Backup speed will be slightly faster than Ethernet.

  I don't have experience with the help of so many features at the same time, so I can't comment on this issue.

  The time Capsule and are all two AEBS Gigabit capable. Typical range is clearly brought 150 feet. Walls, windows, walls, ceilings and floors will reduce this range according to the material and the distances.

• Time Capsule 802.11ac airport fan is always on

  For two days my Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac 3 TB - Version 7.7.3 fan works verry strong and amber light flashing ist.

  AirPort Utility reports the status "this device could be overheating.

  All functions of the time Capsule works fin (internet LAN/WLAN, hard drives - Time Machine backup)

  Normal temperature just from device ist. Only the fan runs at maximum speed

  When I reboot then TimeCapsule the light is green for a few seconds. The fan works silently. After that, the fan went up to maximum speed and light is orange flashing.

  How can I reduce the speed of the fan?

  The Capsule is defective and needs replacement. Please bring the product to an Apple Store... If you have one near you... or contact the Apple Support directly.

• Airport Express, Time Capsule and Airport Express using the same network

  Just moved into a new House and this is what I install.  I have 7 Port wired into the House.

  Closet of network in the Garage:

  • Cable modem
  • Airport Express
  • netgear switch 8 ports
  • It works pretty well.  All my wired connections work fine.  Wireless is quite good but cove not enough of space in my house.

  Think about adding my airport express capsule of time in my office - plugged into one of the hard wired connections.  Who works AND let me wish the WIFI?

  Thank you!

  Yes fine, assuming that first test you the Ethernet port in the office by connecting a computer (with WIFI disabled on the computer) using a spare Ethernet cable runs to ensure that the computer can get a good connection in this way.

  Put the airport Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password in your existing network. Apple installation "Wizard" automatically configure airport Time Capsule in the correct setting of the Bridge Mode for the device.

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• How can I add a password to an existing network of the time capsule?

  How can I add a password to an existing network of the time capsule?

  I guess you mean that time Capsule has already been configured to provide a signal of wireless network, correct?

  Do you mean that the network has no password at all right now... or... do you mean that the network has an existing password, but you want to change the password?

  What operating system are you using on the iMac that you list in your profile?

• How to set the type of wifi (WPA/WPA2) security settings on my new Apple Time Capsule

  I just got my new 3T Apple Time Capsule and have implemented the new network, but I can't seem to find a way to check if the security settings WPA/WPA2 etc are defined.  How do I do that?

  By default, the settings are WPA2 Personal. There should be no need to change it.

  To view the settings and make changes to them, you need to open the AirPort on your Mac utility.  Are you still using OS X (10.6.3) you specify in your profile?

• Time Machine (on Mac) does not detect the airport Time Capsule

  Originally posted on the page of the airport, but seems to be the better question for this group. Sorry for the double post

  Looking for advice on how to get the Time Machine utility for access to my Time Capsule. I use an iMac in late 2012 with MAC OS 10.12 TimeCapsule is 2015 7.7.7 running latest firmware. Airport utility is the latest firmware 6.3.7.

  When I run the application Time Machine, Time Capsule is not detected. I tried the two WiFi and with cables connected Ethernet (not tried USB yet) and my Time Capsule doesn't have a lightning bolt or firewire ports.

  Open Airport utility & see the airport time capsule. I can see all connected devices, including the MAC, but no prompt activation Time Machine on the Time Capsule.

  I recently used TM on this iMac with a G-Technology drive. It auto detects the time machine and executes a back up. But airport Time Capsule will not.

  Any suggestions?

  Sierra has been problematic with the TC.

  1. make sure you don't have any charge virus protection software. In fact, I would say that disable all software 3rd part at the moment.

  2. make sure that you can actually write to disk of TC.

  Attach the TC disc in the finder and copy a file on disk, you can delete it later... It's just to ensure that you have full write permission. If it does not for the most part, you won't be able to use Time Machine... If you can then try TM immediately...

  Just to be clear, the TC is a network device. You have tested with ethernet and wireless... Ok.. They are only suitable methods. You cannot use USB. And clearly, TC has never had nor will never be ports Firewire or lightning.

  3. no chance that a reset complete TC. This will not delete the files on the hard drive, but you must make sure that the device is configured on the current computer.

  4. There are many positions in these days... read through them and do some research. Sierra is a bleeding edge new... So wait you to spend a lot of the precious liquid if you choose to be an early adopt.
