• setting up time capsule and express wired after disconnection of the airport

  I have a 2 TB Time Capsule and three 3 wired express airport throughout my house.  I know that when I added first the cable express, that I had to call apple to change some settings.  Now I can't service because they are more than a year and after a recent quick breakdown (two or three) power is the airport expresses link is more and a bunch of my settings seem to have changed on the Time Capsule.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

  If you think there are setting changes, then it would be better to start over.

  • First of all, you want to make a 'factory' reset on all of your base stations. This will return them to their "out-of-the-box" configuration Once finished, leave them turned off.
  • Then, we put up the Time Capsule (TC). Since it has been reset, it will broadcast a Wi - Fi unsecured network with a network name of something like: Apple network NNNNNN.
  • Use AirPort Utility on your iPhone, Mac or PC to configure the TC as a stand-alone wireless router. In other words, configure it to provide a secure WiFi network.
  • Once the TC has been configured, verify that the clients on your network can access the Internet with it.
  • If he succeeds, proceed to the next step. If this is not the case, stop and post back with your results.
  • We will now configure all of your base stations for a roaming network.
  • Power-up one of the three stations based AirPort Express.
  • Once again, you will need to use AirPort Utility to continue. The utility must now find the Express, and if all goes well, it will offer to the Express allows to extend the TC using Ethernet. It's what you want and just go through the steps automated window 'Installation '. And then on actually.
  • Do the same for the other two express base stations.

• Need help to set up Time Capsule to extend the current U - pay Wi - Fi.

  I am trying to extend my current Wi - Fi signal from AT + T U-Verse. I have a time capsule 1 TB and a Macbook Pro w/Retina Display. When I go in the most convenient airport Configuration it allows me to select "Extend a current network" but who is she won't let me go. The only option that it allows me to move forward with is to create a new network. I do not have the ability to plug directly into the router as I rent and do not have access to the actual router, just the Signal Wi - Fi. Please help with suggestions. I tried a factory with the time Capsule hard reset and still nothing. Thank you.

  Sorry, but the time Capsule and other Apple routers will expand only wireless network that is provided by another router from Apple.

  Another way of saying the same thing, it's that if you want to extend wireless network using an Apple product, you will need two of them... a close Uverse router/modem connected using Ethernet and set up to "create a wireless network"... and another airport located remotely to "extend a wireless network.

  Since you say that you can not access the Uverse router, that will make things very difficult.

  The only thing that peut work would be to add an AirPort Express and configure it to 'join' the Uverse wireless network. When she did this, it can then provide an Ethernet signal to the time Capsule, which in turn can be configured to provide your own private network.  In other words, the AirPort Express would act as a wire-to - Ethernet without 'bridge' to ensure the Ethernet connection that requires time Capsule.

  If you decide to try this, it would be a good idea to understand the return policy of the store on the AirPort Express before you buy. With unusual game like this, the only way you will know if it will work in your home is to try in your home.

• 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.

• Need help to set up Time Capsule with surfboard SBG6580... wifi or extender?

  I just got my Time Capsule and trying to figure out if I should use as my wifi router, or keep my SBG6580 active and e TC allows to extend my warranty.

  Any recommendations?

  In addition, how? Online instructions do not seem to be very clear.

  Thank you!

  I will always recommend to use your Time Capsule as a router, it will be much easier to access and manipulate, unless really, you need to report more coverage.

• How to set my time capsule from apple for my external hard drive backup?

  I installed a Time Capsule from Apple on my network.  It seems to work very well.  I need to use it to back up my external drive (if possible)

  Can someone give me directions?

  Thank you

  Jean S

  If you use Time Machine, open the system preferences pane, click Options, and remove the external drive from the exclusion list. It is not possible for all formats of volume.

  If you use a different backup product, see its documentation.

• 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.

• need help to set up Time Capsule with hub of sky

  Hi, I bought time Capsule and followed the instructions re. Connection cable internet hub in wide band directly on port WAN on TC. And yet nothing is happening outside orange flashing and message of airport utility saying it could not connect to the internet. I bought an Ethernet cable, just in case and tried to connect it to LAN to LAN, and I was able to create a 'network' but always seeing flashed. Can anyone help? Thank you!!

  El Capo can be really rotten networking.

  The skyhub is a router... I think it's okay... If you connect a computer directly into it, you should have internet?

  The TC may work very well in this configuration.

  Ethernet connector of skyhub LAN WAN TC as you did originally... correctly.

  So I highly recommend ethernet to the computer... because it helps no end. And even to pass the airport utility to use ethernet instead of wireless.

  Here (if obvious really that you would have ethernet under other Wi - Fi... don't know why I found totally by chance?)

  

  The configuration... make the TC must go to bridge mode...

  It is Off (bridge mode) on the network tab.

  And you need to create a wireless network with a different name to the skyhub.

  You can probably do it manually now without too many problems.

  And even without ethernet connection... Although reliable then ethernet is streets ahead wireless.

  Click on the TC icon in airport utility.

  

  Click on change... at the bottom right on the summary.

  Now you can fix it up. Click on the network and make sure that it says Off (bridge mode) I posted my configuration, but you do not follow that... I just allows you to see where everything is.

  

  Click on wireless and fix that up.

  

  You can even click on the base station and correct the name and the master password... so that all the names are short, without spaces and alphanumeric pure.

  NOT RECOMMENDED APPLE NAMES that are FALSE.

  If you have an ipad/iphone the iOS version of the utility is often better to get this right than the Mac version... particularly in the later version of the Mac OS.

• How to set up time capsule and D-Link wireless?

  iMac, Time Capsule, D-Link modem, internet broadband

  Ethernet is the only way... the TC must be plugged into the modem Dlink... I'm sorry.

  Apple created their routers with wireless links.

  The way around it is ethernet... well the best solution.

  There are two types of replacements of ethernet...

  EOP adapters can also work if the internal power wiring matches the location. It is Ethernet over power.

  Or you can add a second wireless apple plugged on the dlink router to provide a wireless bridge. It's a bridge transparent wireless with ethernet at each end.

• I have my time capsule for base station; How do I set up just for Time Machine?

  For several years, I have used Time Capsule as a wireless base station more backup Time Machine. I back up a Macbook Air (single user) and iMac with 2 users (two computers running on OS X 11.5). With Comcast Xfinity I need is more like a base station. In fact, I reset my router Xfinity name and password to replicate what was the name and the password to my Time Capsule network. But, now that it's done I can't understand of set up time capsule without set it up as a base station. The installation guide seems to suggest that I could do so by plugging the ethernet cable from the modem to an ethernet port which is not the WAN port. But this configuration did not work. The installation wizard only took me the steps to set up a wireless network. How can I simply we it with Time Machine as an external hard drive?

  The installation wizard only took me the steps to set up a wireless network. How can I simply we it with Time Machine as an external hard drive?

  Simply turn off the time Capsule wireless.

  To do... Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule, then click on modify in the window that appears

  Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the next window

  Change the setting for the Mode of network on 'Off '.

  Click Update to save the changes

  

  But... and this is a big BUT... This work of pourrait ... and maybe not. Even if the backup on the Comcast network seems to be working, there will be no help from Apple in case of questions or problems of backup.

  The reason is that, so that your Time Machine backups be supported officially by Apple, users must save on the Time Capsule wireless, or connect their Mac (s) directly to one of the three ports LAN <>- on the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

  If you decide to try the method of failure to load, please let us know how things work after a few days.

• Upgrading airport Time Capsule 802.11ac one again 4th gen

  Thanks for any help, networking makes me nervous.

  I found this link to set up Time Capsule for the first time, https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201510.

  I would appreciate any advice on how to make the new airport as the old look to all our devices (so the transition is transparent).

  Should I name the new airport the same as the old? Or is it problematic?

  (BTW, is the name of the TC airport the same as the name of the network?)

  Also, I want to set up a network of comments. Is there a setting that I need to select during installation (not mentioned in the technical support article)?

  Read it here in the forums that it is better to start again with our backups and keep the old TC for a while just to be sure things back up ok.

  Later, could I wipe the old TC (t 3, a square flat) and use as an Extender if we need to end it more away from home?

  We have two MacBook Pro on 10.11.2 (a week w / backups inherited from the next two of MBP), two running 10.10.5 and the other on 10.4.

  We connect our TC Airport to a FIOS modem via ethernet cat-6 located in the same room but 11 feet more far.

  Take one of your MBP and run the airport utility.

  It should detect the new TC with her working in the same room as the old TC... just plugged into the wall.

  1. click on the

  

  2. the installation wizard runs.

  

  3. by default, it will choose to extend the existing TC in wireless... Click the more Options button in the lower left corner. And change the selection

  Replace an existing device.

  

  4. the rest is pretty well automagical. Choose what you replace.

  

  5. choose the right network... Mine is perhaps more complicated because I have too many things.

  

  6. you can correct the name... and continue from there... I do not go any further because I didn't do it.

  It will automatically change the original TC back to the default settings... Once you are finished it will tell you to remove the old TC and replace it with a new one.

  

  But you yourself are more disturbing...

  The TC is easy to install and can be done without hassle.

  Implementation of TM is a lot more the problem.

  And Yes, we recommend that you start a new clean TM backup for each computer... do one at a time once you have completed the installation.

• is there a way (or an app?) to set up a local proxy server on the airport extreme or time capsule?

  Hello

  If you have the answer! I'll be so happy!

  is there a way (or an app?) to set up a local proxy server on the airport extreme or time capsule?

  Thanks for your time!

  BR,

  Stéphane

  All routers, including the AirPort base station, run as a transparent proxies for the local network behind them. However, if you are talking about the possibility of proxy requests between the LAN and Internet, then no, the airport base stations do not have a native function to support doing so.

  The two common methods to accomplish this are: 1) use a proxy on your local network, or 2) use a DNS, like OpenDNS service, which offers proxy services.

• 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?

• Is it safe to remove files from my macbook air now that I have set up my time capsule and backed up with time machine? My boot drive is full. How can I access files of my time capsule once they are deleted from my computer?

  1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.

  2. they will not be usable until the restoration.
