New modem cannot connect to Time Capsule

Xfinity gave me a new gateway wireless modem/router a few weeks ago. I hung it just as the former with a cable to the Capsule of time (not wireless). Since then, my MacBook Pro (OS X Yosemite 10.10.5) can not find the TC and said "backup drive is not available." Meanwhile, the TC has a flashing orange light. I rebooted everything more than once. The time on my Mac says Machine I have not backed up since 15 February, but when I go into "Time Machine", it looks like there were multiple regular backups since then (I'm skeptical). User support Comcast tinkered around for an hour and he couldn't understand. Another suit tech support tried for another hour and could not make any progress. How can I make it work again?

You MUST reset the TC factory and start over... This happens whenever you make a network change and there is no change in larger network than what you were doing... to replace the router.

Here are the instructions to get going again. It is a comprehensive so that your needs can be met with just a couple of them.

Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the drive hard in doing so.

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.

The installer the TC.

And then redo the configuration of the computer with the Mavericks - Yosemite - ElCapo. (MYELCAP)

1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

If the problem is using wireless TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as it also seems to help stop the nonsense. But it can be tried in the second round. IE, plan on a first and second series of changes to fix this... If all goes well... I note other steps can you tour2.

2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC. But it's important for deriving from intellectual property in all directions when MYELCAP do not remember his name for 5 min after a reboot done for poor network management.

4. check that your share on the computer name does not change... Make sure that it is also in line with the above... short without space and pure alphanumeric... but this change will mess up your TM backup... so be prepared to make a new, full backup. Sorry... keep this one for the second round, if you want to avoid a new backup.

5 attach the TC disc into the computer manually.

In Finder, go, connect to the server in the main menu,

Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever ip of TC is that you made static. It's a default router 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with it unless you know what you're doing).

You can use the name... SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your name of TC... local is the default domain of the TC and does not change.

However the names are not so easy as... the IP address nor reliable. They are not at least not in Yosemite. The field can also be a problem if you are not clogged or wireless directly to the Treasury Board.

6. ensure that IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open network, wireless and Advanced preferences / TCP/IP... and the difficulty of IPv6. link-local only. Do the same for the ethernet if you use it.

It is a lot more jiggery pokery, you can try, but the above is a good start... If you still find not reliable... don't be surprised.

You may need to do more work on the computer itself. for example, to reset the NVRAM/PRAM/SMC... helped some people. A clean installation of the operating system is also useful if you update installed.

https://discussions.Apple.com/message/29202159?ac_cid=ha123456#29202159

Let us know how you go.

The xfinity is a modem router then the TC will be in bridge.

If you continue to have problems, I need a few screenshots of the configuration... that should correspond to what I posted.

Mac cannot connect to time capsule

Currently, I had to do a full factory reset on my time capsule to put in place a new DSL modem. now, or computer, my MacBook Pro and my iMac can't find time capsule to do back ups. What is the procedure to get my back ups return?

You mentioned that you have reconfigured your Time Capsule to work with a new DSL modem, but does not know if you reset the path used by every Mac to find the time Capsule.

If you don't reset the path to find the time on each Mac Capsule, then each Mac still remembered how to find your Time Capsule on the 'old' network, but they do not know how to find the time on your 'new' network Capsule.

New connection airport Time Capsule with others

Quick question I have a new airport Time Capsule. I'm trying to connect my 2 extremes of 2 airport with the new unit. They are in 2 different places in the House, I see them in my utility, but they're more connected... Lost... Help?

Are you using ethernet to connect or wireless extend?

When you installed the TC you replace an existing router that used EI or did you do a clean install?

If you want to extend wireless simply reset the two AE at the factory and start on with installation... they should auto select this option to expand the TC in wireless... but you must start with them the two reset otherwise it will mess up the network.

Unable to connect to WD Mybook Duo when it is connected to Time Capsule

I have a new Western Digital MyBook Duo 4 (2 TB per disk) to I want to access any of the three Macs in the House.

Every Mac use the Wifi in my Time Capsule airport station. My book Duo is plugged into the USB jack on the back that is provided for external hard drives.

However, all Macs you will see the Duo MyBook, none can use it.

Info: Every Mac running El Capitan. The Time Capsule and MyBook Duo running the latest firmware.

In the Finder, every Mac can see the airport Time Capsule, under 'Shared' in the left pane. By clicking on it, each Mac can see the time Capsule HARD internal disk and external HDD my book Duo. When I click on it, I get the same darn message each time: "the operation cannot be performed because the original for"My Book Duo"item could not be found."

If I connect the MyBook Duo directly to the USB port on any Mac, everything works fine. But this isn't the way I want to connect.

The most convenient airport Time Capsule is supposed to effectively (via its USB port) allows you to have an external HDD on a network, and that's how I want to use my book Duo.

Can someone help, please?

Hello

Did you do the drives MyBook Duo are in the right format? It must be formatted in HFS + (also known as Mac OS extended (journaled).

Hope this helps, good luck!

What is the best way to connect a time capsule from the airport to an existing dsl router?

I have a Netgear D6300 router with built-in ADSL modem and I'm getting a time capsule from the airport. I thought to put the D6300 in Bridge mode and connect the TC via a ethernet cable but my netgear router is kept in a metal TV armoire or I asked myself if I put on the floor and used to extend my existing wireless which is a little spotty on the floor, but I didn't know if the connection on the hard drive would be too slow. However I read in another post is no longer that apple supports the extension of networks of "no apple"?

The time Capsule will connect to the Netgear router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent... no matter how you decide to configure things.

Regarding the location, Time Capsule can be located just about anywhere that it will allow an Ethernet connection. If you want to time Capsule to "extend" the wireless Netgear, and then configure the time Capsule to create a new wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password than the Netgear router. The result will be a network of 'big '.

Should be a lot more work, but assuming that the Netgear gateway can be configured to work as only a simple modem, the Capsule can be configured as the primary network router.

Use WAN connected airport Time Capsule as a wireless access point

I had to replace a failed 4 Gen Time Capsule. I tried to install a new Gen 5 airport TimeCapsule via WAN and set up the airport to act as a wireless access point. It is installed in an area of my house with wireless coverage. In the network of AirPort Utility Mode section, I chose "extend a wireless network. The TC is restarted, I get an error message cannot find the intended wireless network.

What I lack?

"Extend a wireless network" is a parameter that is only used if the time Capsule need to connect to another router from Apple with the help of a Wi-Fi connection.

You use Ethernet to connect, you must use the parameter to "create a wireless network. Use the same wireless network name and the same password as your "primary" router

How to connect my Time Capsule to a WiFi network?

Happily, I use a Time Capsule for years as a WiFi router connected as a bridge to the router provided by my supplier.

Now, I'm moving to a place where internet is already provided by an access point in my new apartment and included in the monthly cost of the facilities in this village. The access point is hidden behind the ceiling of my apartment and doesn't have any port ethernet except the one used to get the internet. WiFi which will be available for me is configured by an administrator with the name of my apartment.

My internet needs TC that the ethernet source and I wonder what I could do to work around this problem. I don't see any option in the settings of TC to connect to an existing WiFi.

While waiting to move to the new apartment, I did a test by trying to create a scenario similar to the House, for example by using the wifi router of my provider to create a wifi network, then using an extension of WiFi that is connected to A WiFi network and connect my TC via ethernet connected on WiFi extender set up my TC as a bridge and the creation of a WiFi B with my TC that I can use with my devices. It works fine, but I wonder if there is something I'm missing or a better solution or possible issues related to this configuration.

Tnxs.

My internet needs TC that the ethernet source and I wonder what I could do to work around this problem.

In a Word, nothing. The TC must connect to a network by using a wired Ethernet cable connection. The only exception to this would be a Workbench where you already have a router Apple providing a wireless signal, in which case the TC can connect wireless to "extend" the network.

This is how the TC must be connected to the network of the apartment. If your extension does not work with the network of the apartment, an AirPort Express could be used to 'join' the network wireless of the apartment, and then provide an Ethernet connection to the Treasury Board.

wired devices is more capable of connecting to time capsule

Wired devices connected to the time capsule apple are assigned is no longer an ip address and not able to connect to the internet. Always wireless devices connect very well without any problems.

Gites assign addresses IP not work

The capsule is connected via PPPoE modem of fibre broadband BT openreach

Any ideas?

Wireless devices get the private IP address of the TC... Please check.

for example... the TC in standard configuration as a router will use 10.0.1.x for the first device is 10.0.1.2

The values of the gateway and DNS will be 10.0.1.1 on the laptop... check and report what are the numbers.

On the ethernet connected machine... see if you get anything... Otherwise, set an IP address static, for example 10.0.1.201 with gateway of 10.0.1.1 and the same DNS... Does it work... If this is not the case, change the Google public DNS. 8.8.8.8

It might also help to post some screenshots of the configuration of the TC if you still have questions... tab tab and internet network more summary page.

Cannot remove old Time Capsule for time Machine destinations

My MacBook Pro moves with me between my home office and the different clients that I visit. At home, Time Machine backs up a volume of Time Machine on my Xserve served to the network by OS X Server. I guess that for the Mac it looks like a Time Capsule, although in my case, it's a RAID 5 with 12 TB of capacity.

The problem, when I connect to one network other than my home network. As you can see, the window from system preferences Time Machine offer 'Time Machine backup on 'Dominik AirPort Extreme' network', which is not actually present on any network. When I go home, Time Machine continues to try to save this destination does not exist and does not back up the volume on my Xserve. I have to manually switch for my Mac starting the backup on the Xserve again.

How can I make my Mac forget this volume forever? A couple of system reinstalls, to the end that I use the Migration Wizard to copy the configuration of the system from a backup, have not helped.

On the computer of my wife as a backup destination appears, the good pair:

Switch to Uverse Xfinity cable modem. Now comes Time Capsule or wi fi to work.

I have had Uverse for several years and today passed to Xfinity. I have a new Capsule 2 TB and an Airport Extreme, used as a range extender (bought in November 2014) and an old Time Capsule (bought in 2012) that I use as a different range extender and a Time Capsule for 2 other iMacs. Now that I have this modem Arris SB6183 cable I can't Wi - Fi to work. After several attempts with the Arrius customer support that I am at a loss. After Arrius support finally got the iMac having internet by bypassing the TC and linking directly from modem to the iMac, that I tried up again the TC wifi network but can do seem to succeed. I pressed the reset button on the TC for 15 seconds, and now I think that I lost all my original network set up. I have to start from scratch and create a new network? Can someone guide me to get this set up? Thank you in advance.

I noticed the list of devices on here... in fact we have now 3 iMac and macbook air. I'm working on the iMac 2011 until I get the wifi working again.

I have to start from scratch and create a new network?

Yes, you will need to reset and rerun the installation of TC. This is a requirement whenever you change the modem, like you did with the new box of Arius.

Good luck and come back here if you need further assistance.

Internet decreases when it is connected to time capsule

When my iMac is connected to my Time Capsule Ethernet, I can't connect to the internet at the same time. If I unplug the ethernet cable from the TC, internet works fine. I use the TC that for TM backups - I it was not connected to the ADSL router via WAN port. This configuration has worked perfectly for about a year, then stop working and I cannot identify what has changed at the same time.

TWC Modem/Router-with Apple Time Capsule extreme

Can someone find me on this configuration?

I'm trying to improve the coverage of the WiFi in my house and I'm trying to do so via an ethernet connection to two Capsules of time separate Apple. One is an airport Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd generation/Firmware 7.6.4) and the other is a Time Capsule 802.11ac Airport (7.73 firmware).

I have a Time Warner cable wireless modem/router (Arris 860 has TG1672G). The configuration in the network for NAT settings is "RoutedWithNAT". I'm going out this modem/router via a ZyXel AV2000 HomePlug AV2 Powerline Gigabit Pass-Thru 2-port Ethernet Adapter (I have no ethernet strung in this particular room) in the AC of the Apple Time Capsule 802.11. The configuration for that Time Capsule is Mode/Off/network wireless and network /Router Mode / Off (Bridge Mode). The other Time Capsule has the same configuration.

That is the question... is the right way to get faster WiFi? I realize by using the Homeplug may not help my cause, but I have to guess that it is faster to go wireless two correct time Capsules?

The issue I'm having is that it's slow and I can't understand why.

Thank you for the kind words.

I wanted to add a few things to this post...

I tested out the ZyXel ethernet to my MacBook Pro and ran a Speedtest. He retired. Very fast.

Here are the screenshots of my two time Capsules config and my modem/router from Time Warner.

In the meantime, here is the speed I get via radio... pretty dismal.

Cannot set up time capsule

ccannot get rid of blinking yellow when you try to time capsule of installation with net gear 7550 with ATT dsl. I need instructions step by step.

Yellow flashing can be about 100 different reasons... (exaggerating)

Open airport utility... Click on the TC and post a screenshot showing the error message... We cannot do anything without knowing what error.

It could be updated firmware available... and so there is absolutely nothing wrong with the configuration whatsoever.

Airport utility cannot find the time Capsule, but wireless is fine

All of a sudden my TC stopped taking backups but the wireless works fine.

Airport utility stopped recognizing the TC suddenly...

I think it started acting weird it's because last night, I unplugged the TC of the socket directly instead of turn off... This could be the problem.

This is what, in my view, that the solution could be:

(1) reboot Macbook

(2) open Airport utility

File 3)--> set up

(4) now he would invite, address and password: especially it would be 10.0.0.1, but you get to the option + wifi

(5) then just tweak a setting so that the update button is highlighted...

6) click on update & the router restarts

(7) Viola you should now see the airport in airport utility.

I hope this helps. I tried to put that answer in another thread, but the forum has been locked for discussion... That's why this new post

Thank you

Bumblebee

It is not so rosy, as you described!

I can write in folders on Time Capsule, I use internet, but the utility does not see the drives, printer and Time Machine is no more support for MacBook...

The only reason for this behavior is dynamic DNS change the LAN iP addresses... after the router has been reset by the network provider.

Any advice, please?

How to configure a printer wireless connected to Time Capsule?

I just bought a printer HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M577z MFP Flow. It has capabilities of wireless printing. So far, I was able to connect wirelessly to one of my MacBook Pro computers, but only by having the printer create an Ad - hoc network that allows up to 5 devices to connect to the printer. But that of not what I want because every computer should manually disconnect the Wi - Fi network, connect to the Ad hoc network, the print job and then reconnect to the Wi - Fi network whenever a print job is required. It is very difficult and frustrating.

What I would like is striking is the printer act like a network printer by wireless connection to my Time Capsule. I can't connect the printer to the USB port of time Capsule because they are far away from each other, and I don't want to use cables throughout my place. But I have no idea on how to do it because I can't find this option in the menu of the writer or configuration of the United Nations the HP utility software.

I hope someone here could help me, please. Thank you!

I have an Epson printer, so some of my experiences may or may not apply.

I also have a time Capsule, and my printer and Time Capsule are far apart.

My current configuration looks exactly what you are looking for: a wireless network provided by Time Capsule than all my Apple devices to a wireless connection, and my printer connects to the same wireless network.

When I first bought the Epson printer, I needed to connect it to the Capsule of time via a USB port. This sounds as if it were true for you as well. So, for this very short period. I moved the printer via the USB port next to the printer, the connected Time Capsule, made the setup and then the printer recognized my standard wireless network. I've returned to steady state, which I use now, with the printer and the far (actually on different floors) Time Capsule.
