Problem of Time Capsule Roaming Network airport

I'm having a problem by establishing a network of roaming.  When I plug my extender devices in ethernet cables through a switch to my Time Capsule base station, my wifi signal drops 150 + MBS next to the base station to < 10 mbs.

I have a wifi in my home network based on a new time Capsule airport base station (ATCBS) running firmware c. 7.7.7.  I have my 4th gen AEBS & a 2nd gen Airport express both race v. 7.6.7 updated firmware in place in Bridge mode to extend my network in different rooms in my house. The system works very well, but I wanted to increase the power of the signal in remote places so decided I would like to convert it to a mobile network by installing ethernet cables to connect my ATCBS the AEBS and express extensions.  I use a switch Netgear 5 port (NOT of GS205-100) that I only have a single LAN fanless available left port on my ATCBS.

I installed 3 ethernet lines-1 each in rooms with my ATCBS and airport express using mounting wall punch down taken using the convention of wiring 568B, AEBS.  These lines all end with male plugs in a unique space in the basement and are also wired as 568B.  Then I plug the ATCBS, AEBS and express lines in the switch in this remote area.

I've done a few connection cables in the role of Cat 6 cable, I had over the House, and they all very well with my cable Tester check so I know the cable itself is not defective.  The cables all run in the basement where I can see, so I know there is not any problem to be crimped/damaged.  I have not any gear to test the installed well son.  I visually inspected the male and female (punchdown) ends to ensure that colors are properly prepared.  I did a test of my jacks punchdown conductivity by testing 8 wires on the sides of the socket and the pins in gold on the inside where an ethernet cable connecting between the cut ends.  All wires are correctly leads to the appropriate pins.

If I plug just the ATCBS into the switch next to him and using a good patch cable I see no change in the strength of the Wifi.  If I can plug my express (also moved to the room of the base station) using another cable good patch in the switch, wifi drops as described above.  If I plug the ATCBS on the new socket and the switch at the other end - no change in force wifi.  If I plug the express in its remote location system also uses the new ethernet cable installed for him and passing through the switch, I get the wifi signal reduction.  I get the same result if I take the express up to thevbasemenbt and plulg the switch with a connecting cable).  It seems therefore that the problem may not be with the newly installed cables that I get the same result by using or by using cables good patch, and with the switch in the same room with the ACTBS.  It doesn't matter how I'm trying to connect all the devices together, plug extender devices into the system brings the WiFi falling to almost nothing.

Any ideas on what could happen?

That's what happens when you initially set up the device to the airport "extend" using a wireless signal... and then later connect an Ethernet cable to the unit of the airport.

Since the airport is configured to connect wireless and waiting for a wireless connection, the Ethernet connection and then creates a feedback loop massive on the entire network... in fact, basically crashed the network.

Basically, you have to start over again with the AEBS and AirPort Express and "Apple Installation Wizard" to set things upward. It's practically automatic. All you need to do is assign a device name to each airport and the wizard supports all the rest.

After the back if you need some advice on how to correctly configure things.  You can be amazed at how simple, it comes... and surprised by the wizard settings apply.

  • 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.

  • Problems of Time capsule

    We recently bought a time Capsule 3 TB airport as well as a new iPad Pro.  I put it in place and working well.  We had gone for a few days and when we returned, we found that our devices (iPad Pro and MacBook Pro) link is no longer on the internet.  Our iPhone 5 s are still able to connect...

    This is not unusual.

    This modem do you have? Make and model please?

    Who is your ISP?

    Is the TC in bridge mode or router (if your modem is also a gateway router)?

    Did you take the MBP and iPad with you and link them to other networks while you were there?

    Seems that something strange can happen if you connect to several different wireless networks.

  • Problems of ' 09 Time Capsule to the Airport Extreme upgrade

    I with success the setup a new Airport Extreme (AE) and I want to continue to use my Time Capsule (TC) 2009 as a backup drive. However, I have questions. What is the right way to implement these devices to play nice?

    I have currently the modem ethernet fall on the AE WAN ethernet. Then I have another ethernet cable connecting the AE LAN ethernet in the TC WAN.

    In addition, I have the TC Network Mode as 'OFF' and his router Mode as 'Off (Bridge Mode).

    Is everything is OK?

    All correct so far.  Also check the Internet tab to ensure that the TC is to connect using DHCP = AirPort Utility.

    At this point, what other problems are live you?

  • HOW THE AIRPORT TIME CAPSULE WIRELESS NETWORK IS PROTECTED?

    I implemented the airport Time Capsule, using a DSL modem connected to the internet as its bridge.  MacBook Pro was used for initial set up by the bolt of lightning to Ethernet connector and then disconnected and works perfectly.  Now, I would like to use Wi - Fi for my Samsung phone not iOS.  On the Samsung wireless I connect to my home network using a password.  Well, I don't think that a password was never set.  How can I configure my wifi at home to establish a password?   I don't think that the modem settings should enter in solving this for me, but I'll add that the modem required a static IP address be entered for this connection when its router features have been disabled for the connection of bridge.

    If the Time Capsule (TC) provides the wireless network, then you can secure it using AirPort Utility, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility.
    • Select the TC and then, select change.
    • Select the wireless tab.
    • In the wireless security, select the type of security. I highly recommend that you choose: WPA2 Personal
    • Enter a password in the field password wireless. Enter the same password in the verify password.
    • Select Update.

  • Time capsule works bur airport utility cannot find it

    Hello world

    I have a weird problem with my Time Capsule (2 TB) 2015

    I have the TC connected by ethernet to a modem, and it is plugged into my mac mini (cable as well)

    The TC works very well, it is accessible from the Finder, Time Machine works fine and all my devices can browse the internet via the TC wifi network.

    Airport utility, that the TC is shown as connected with a green dot, however when I try to access the settings of TC, that the system requires a password and when I entered it nothing happens. If I click on the TC once again, I get a requirement pw again. Once I do this once or twice, the TC greys out on airport utility and I get the message "device not found" with the yellow triangle.

    Despite this, the TC is always accessible from the Finder, the wifi works and Time machine is ok.

    Tries to access the site of the iPad or the iPhone displays the same behavior, the utility will continue to ask for a password and it won't let me.

    I did a reset of the TC by pressing the reset button and it worked fine for 24 hours, after which the above problem happened again.

    So I did another reset and even once, he worked for a while, but now I'm at square one.

    Is that what is anyone able to help?

    Thank you

    AirPort Utility is based on both the mDNS (aka, Hello) and IPv6 IP protocols to find an AirPort base station.

    When access to the airport through the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order, accessibility with the utility check after each step:

    • Check the local connection. If you try to access the airport wireless, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
    • Make sure that the base station and your computer are configured for IPv6 link-local only.
      • For a Mac: System preferences > network > Wi - Fi or Ethernet > advanced > TCP/IP tab > configure IPv6: link-local only
      • For the AirPort Base Station:
        • From a Mac: AirPort Utility > select the base station > change > Internet tab > Internet Options... > configure IPv6: link-local only
        • Since an iOS device: AirPort Utility > tap the base station > press Edit > tap Advanced > tap on IPv6 > change configure IPv6 to: link-local only > Tap actually
    • The base station power cycle. Remove the power branch of the socket adapter and then wait 15 seconds before plugging back in.
    • Perform a ' default ' reset on the base station.
  • problem backup Time capsule

    It has been 29 days since the last backup from time machine of my imac 27 "and the mac pro to my time capsule.

    When I select the disk to use for the backup, after the display of connection to the disk 5 or 10 minutes later a messeage "wa there a problem connecting to the server airport time capsule."

    Did you turn off all of the network and restart everything in the right order... modem to transport CANADA for computer... with 2 min between them?

    If you have already tried you must reset the TC factory and redo the installation... it sometimes get lost.

    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.

  • ICan I use Time Capsule in my Airport extreme to save files Ihave on my windows7 computer?

    How can I configure my Airport extreme, time capsule 3 to use the portion of the time capsule for the backup of my Sony VAIO computer?

    You can back up a windows computer to Time Capsule but I do not recommend.

    Any backup software that can use target network should work.

    Macrium Reflect is the one I use, I know the Time Capsule works.

    Time line of engineering is a concept similar to Time Machine for PC... It's more that I want to make, but it doesn't seem to be a free version... How good or bad or I do not know what limits.

    Internal backup software MS is generally useless... at least up to win 8.1 10.

    NOTE... A USB connected to the laptop computer and formatted NTFS native is far superior to backup to TC which is formatted HFS + (illegible for windows) which is networked that the SMB protocol and treaded as NT server with all its limitations with FAT32.

    The router via ethernet is an express airport 2nd generation connected to an amp for antenna and in addition to the express via ethernet is a time capsule of 3rd generation? in a press room feeding a number of multimedia devices.

    What I want to do is to backup my Mac Book Pro on the time capsule which I see in the finder, but not its content, nor I see

    It is contained in Time Machine.

    Can someone help?

    It can be very difficult if not impossible... or only very little reliable if you do not connect the computer directly to the TC...

    Anyway... have a go... find the IP address of the TC of airport utility... no chance then don't first plug the computer by ethernet directly to TB. Use Thunderbolt for the ethernet card if your mobile phone is failed.

    Once you have the IP address... Use the top Finder menu... Go, connect to the server.

    Type AFP://10.1.1.46 (substitute your real IP of the TC).

    When the connection is done put the password and save in keychain.

    It will work up until the IP... Therefore, force is not to change.

    Still had problems give me a screenshot of the airport with the pages of summary of the Express and the TC utility.

  • Problems with Time Capsule

    I have problems with our time Capsule. My husband and I have Macbook Pro (from 2012). We use a Time Capsule as our backup disk but not our wireless router (we use the router provided by our internet service provider). We have configured like this for over a year and it is usually worked fine. In the last month, we had problems with backups does not happen. Currently, computer of my husband has saved in about 2 weeks, and mine has not backed up in 2 days.

    It seems that our computers lose their link with time capsule. If I go to the finder, the shared drive appears under "shared", but if I click on it to connect I get a message that says "connection failed." Airport utility shows the time Capsule but has a yellow triangle next to it that says "device not found."

    If I unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again, it reconnects. I did this earlier this evening and was able to access the shared drive and make a return to the top. But a few hours later, this subject has disappeared again. I tried to do this same thing - unplug, get the rear connection, only to lose it again a little later. Any thoughts on what could be the problem? The Capsule was bought the same time than computers.

    I guess what surprises me is that you had no problems up to this point.

    Your computer must connect directly to the Treasury Board. Ethernet or wireless... It will break things especially in the BONES later if you do not.

    Do you have recently move you to el capo... ?? That could have triggered the problem.

    I lost the link but in apple of one document stated finally that you connect directly the computer now... because of the bad DNS in the operating system.

    If I unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again, it reconnects. I did this earlier this evening and was able to access the shared drive and make a return to the top.

    That's why you get this nonsense. He is able to find the backup if DNS is renewed due to reset... After a few hours it is lost again.

    What operating system do you use?

    My recommendation is to put on wireless and a link to the direct of TC...

    A TC Gen4 purchased in 2012 is now at least 3 years and let me tell also your reliable stage... you are now at the stage of growing decrepitude of old people. It might work correctly for a year or two... It can suddenly die tomorrow... but more likely will fade into the sunset.
