Several networks on Time Capsule

Can someone explain to me why I have several networks? I went through the Airport utility, and I find myself with 5 networks. I understand the 2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz, but it seems to be confusing to some of my mottos (xBox, Wii, etc.). Thank you.

You do not tell us how many airport routers, you might have, but it looks like you have 3 devices... unless you named the guest network the same as your main network.

Recent versions of the airport are simultaneous dual-band, so they produce a signal Wireless 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with the same network name.  So, it's 2 networks for a router.

If you have a second airport, set up to extend or expand the network, then it too will be 2 networks with the same wireless network name. So, it's more than 2 networks for the second airport... for a total of 4 so far.

Pourriez you have a version of a band unique AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express. So it's 1 over the network.  Or, if you have a recent version of the airport, the scan did not pick up the 'other' network at the time.

Total... 5 networks.  Quite normal.

Wireless devices choose the router with the signal the harder... at least in theory... then choose 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz according to their abilities and the distance to the airport.

Of course, a feature which is 2.4 GHz only will connect to the 2.4 GHz network, then... in theory... it will choose the strongest signal 2.4 GHz of the nearest router.

If a device can connect to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz... It will be connected to 5 GHz, if it's in the same room or in immediate proximity to the router. But as signals of 5 GHz are much lower than 2.4 GHz signals, the same device will connect probably in 2.4 GHz if she moves a piece or two away from the router.

  • Use the second router to extend the network to Time Capsule

    I have a v7.6.7 running Time Capsule 1 TB and older airport. I'm hoping to add a second router in a new location, and I use an ethernet cable from the TC at the new router (TP Link Archer C5), updated to the latest version of the firmware. The IP address of the TC is 192.168.1.1.

    I have set up my router C5 as follows: allocation of IP 192.168.1.199, value DHCP = off, and I connect a cable between the TC ports and port WAN (not Internet) available on the C5. In the C5 wireless settings, I tried both using the TC SSID and pw and creating a new SSID and pw. In both cases, the network will work for a short time, but eventually the entire network, including the TC, stops working. I made no changes to the parameters of the TC on any trial.

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router? If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router?

    Yes. That would be the basis of a network of mobile type.

    The key for a roaming network parameters are:

    • The 'primary' router must be configured as a router. In other words, it must have active NAT and DHCP services.
    • All other routers used in a network of roaming must be reconfigured as a bridge.
    • All routers must broadcast a Wi - Fi network that uses the same network (SSID, aka) name, and the type of wireless security, and the password.
    • All routers must be interconnected by Ethernet. To provide Powerline adapters using an Ethernet connectivity should also work.

    If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Should not really which is the main in the roaming network.

    I think at this point, your current circuit line. To check that, I would suggest that you consider to bring back the router C5 in the same room as you have the TC. Then connect it directly to one of the LAN of the TC ports. Complete the entire upward to a mobile network and test it. If everything works, bring back the C5 in the desired location, and then try again.

    If it fails, then the circuit line will be tested to check that it provides a solid 'Ethernet' connection between the adapters.

Speed control on my i mac or wireless on any device in any location see accelerates it half of what I pay for. If I shoot a speed control to the back of the modem, everything is ok. If I shoot a speed check in a port on my machine Net Pro FVS318G safe with Airport extreme disconnected speeds are fine. But when the capsule is used the speed is slow. This happens not all the time. In fact this am that everything was fine, she just started about an hour or two there once again. And it normally clears up in a few hours on its own. It is like someone is inside my computer slows down I can't even do a backup on my i-phone when this happens.   I bought the thinking net machine that triple nat could help I'm not using the vpn option.

  • What wireless network for Time Capsule backups?

    Just installed a new Capsule of time at home. The time Capsule is a wireless router, and I can connect all my devices wirelessly to the Network Time capsule wireless. I still 2 other active wireless networks because I use 2 additional wireless routers for access anywhere in the House. All three of my wireless networks are created from the same internet modem. I want to confirm is whether or not my Mac can be connected to one of the 3 networks for automatic backups on the Time Capsule wireless? Or is the Mac must be connected to the network of the time Capsule for automatic backups to time capsule wireless? Thanks in advance for your help.

    The same as the TC.

  • Time Capsule missing after installing new router

    I recently installed a new wifi router for my home network. Previously, I used only my time capsule to back up data and intend to continue to use it for backups. However, with my new router, I can't find how to access the time capsule to keep backups. I have time capsule directly connected to the router via ethernet and it will still not appear in AirPort Utility or enable Time Machine to find.

    Any suggestions?

    Everything has changed.

    I wonder if I can remove the Time Capsule saved since the original iMac info and start back up both machines it again?

    Yes you can. The way simplest and quickest way to accomplish what you want is clear the Time Capsule disk and then start over again with a new backup of a Mac. Then, once it's over, make a new backup of the other Mac.

    When the two Macs have saved for the first time, then both will continue back up automatically and gradually.

  • Can't get the Time Capsule network to see Airport Extreme?

    I have a network set up through my Time Capsule and I want to express with my Airport Extreme, the problem is that I can't get the network to see Airport Extreme - or rather, we'll see, but when I try to connect to it, it starts to connect, and then I get an unexpected error. I tried to restore both their factory settings and did a restore forced several times to the Airport Extreme, but nothing helped. I made sure to affect my IPv6 link-local only, I've even re-created my network several times (always with the Capsule of time as the main base station, but nothing seems working.

    Any ideas would be very useful.

    The Airport Extreme and time Capsule have been purchased during the last month, and I'm under OS10.11.1

    First of all, try to update your software El Capitan to the current version of operation... 10.11.4... which was supposed to solve some of the bugs that cause the message "unexpected error".

    If still no help, try using an iPhone or an iPad for the configuration.  After the back if you don't know how to proceed.

  • Using a Time Capsule airport on a new wifi network

    I'm trying to connect my TC Airport to a new wifi network to another location. It worked very well at the original location, used to extend an existing network of wifi, connected to the router via an Ethernet cable. In the new location, I'd rather have a wireless connection. I have tried several times to do a factory reset full and then I see the TC from the airport using the Airport utility, but it does not put in place to extend the wifi network my iMac is on (he sees a nearby network as well). I just simply want to configure my TC from the airport most convenient to save my iMac! Any ideas? Thank you!

    The TC must either connect to wireless to another router from apple... or it must be connected by ethernet... he can't extend wireless any other brand.

    If all of the TC is to is to make backups of iMac... Plug it directly by ethernet on the iMac... and use this configuration.

    Time Capsule using wired for Mac for backup only.

    If you want to have as part of the network... plug in ethernet on the main router... and the backup more wireless... but it becomes a problem where the computer don't connect directly to the TC now.

  • 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.

  • 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 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 backups of different networks?

    I have a Time Capsule that serves ONLY to expand my current network, but is also used for the backup of a single computer through Time Machine. If I take this time capsule to a new place, which has a different network I can configure it to join the new network and continue the backups Time Machine to a computer (which moves with it) without losing any old backups? If so, how can I say to join the network at the new place.

    The time Capsule cannot 'join' a wireless provided third-party router, if that's what you're asking.

  • 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.
