The Time Capsule and Comcast router compatibility

I plan on buying Time Capsule.

My ISP is Comcast and borrow the gateway (modem and router together)

Comcast has not recommended the use of Time Capsule as wifi router

I would like to know if there are problems (slow wifi, etc.) using Time Capsule with Comcast.

It is very well - at least, it will work without problems.

You will probably find yourself with two wireless networks - the Comcast box and time Capsule (from memory, you can not deactivate their wireless gateway), but since you get to choose which network to join you shouldn't have a problem.

  • Unable to connect to the internet via the Time Capsule 2 TB router

    Hello

    I can't connect wireless to the internet using my Time Capsule (see 7.7.3 running).

    I mainly use a macbook air (so no ethernet jack) running El Capitan 10.12.2 but the problem also occurs with our iPad and iPhone.

    The system has worked for a few hours after the initial Setup, but our ISP crashed and I was not able to make it work since their entry online. I've used a Linksys router.

    ISP is done via a wireless connection. The provider can see my antenna and an Apple device connected to it. I have a static IP address with DNS assigned.

    My airport utility shows green for the network connection and the internet but no Web page will open.

    I did reset hard and reconfigurations a few times which one where I left the modem to the router cable disconnected until I got the full configuration.

    The wireless network is using DHCP with DNS assigned to a beach.

    Router mode is DHCP and NAT.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    There are a number of situations where the TC will simply not work.

    I have a static IP address with DNS assigned.

    If you have configured the Internet of TC tab with static IP address?

    Would it not be possible to get the address IP via dhcp... have you tried?

    Wireless modem is connected by ethernet to your TC? Also, the modem is a router that is bridged?

    I really need to see the numbers... but it's not good to put the public IP address here... xxx on the first two bytes and just give me the rest... as long as the IP and gateway are the same.

    Or send it to my email address. (see my profile).

    Your linksys might work, but the CT will not... This happens because Apple does not provide sufficient flexibility to allow the wireless Internet service provider. (Or Satellite or fiber or some ADSL).

    But it can also be a problem with the network... we have problems with the WAN port with some modems.

    Does the ethernet connectivity light come on, when you connect the modem to the WAN port on the TC?

  • Can I use the Time Capsule wireless for multiple computers without using it as a router?

    I am looking for an external backup for 2 computers drive.  I have a desktop iMac and MacBook Air.  I like the idea of being able to back up my MacBook Air wireless, but I need to make sure that it will work the way I need to.

    I already have a wireless router that works well for me, I don't need the time Capsule to act as a router. I'm just needing a wireless backup drive.  So, the question is, can I use the only time Capsule as a storage device for backup of wifi or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?  My fear is that the router service is not as good as the router, I currently have.  I live in a big House of 2 floors, making it very difficult to receive a strong signal throughout the House.

    can I use time Capsule only as a backup wireless storage device or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?

    Time Capsule need to connect to your router/modem existing using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    If you plan to use the time Capsule to back up your Mac with the help of the application Time Machine on every Mac, the Mac will have to save on the wireless signal Time Capsule for the process to be officially supported by Apple.

    While it is possible to turn off wireless on the Time Capsule and try to save it to your existing wireless network... and it pourrait work... but there will be no Apple support backup problems... so it would be a good idea to plan to use Time Capsule wireless backup purposes.

  • My macpro is backup in the capsule of time even when I was at work, which means that the time capsule is consumed my data plan. Can anyone suggest a way I can have it the backup only when my mac pro and time capsule is in the same local wifi

    my mac pro is backup in the capsule of time even when I was at work, which means that the time capsule is consumed my data plan. Can anyone suggest a way I can have it the backup only when my mac pro and time capsule is in the same local wifi

    If the Time Capsule and MacBook Pros are not on the same network, the MacBook is not backup in the time Capsule. You probably see what snapshots leaving MacBook on the local disk, until the two are reconnected. If you don't want that to happen, disable Time Machine on a different network.

    Good day.

  • 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.

  • Cannot access Time Capsule and MacBook Pro on Windows task force immediately after upgrade to Vista professional professional 7

    I had a Windows workgroup for years, linking the PC and Mac, but also a Linkstation network through a Time Capsule router/Hard Drive Combo.  Immediately after the upgrade from professional Vista to 7 Professional on my Sony Vaio VGN-Z750D, I can see the Time Capsule and MacBook but cannot access it.  I am able to access the Linkstation - system wonder a user name and password, and I have immediate access.  However, the system does not n = me a username and password when I try to access the two Apple products.

    Interestingly, I can access the Vaio MacBook, in providint the username and password for the Vaio.

    IT FIXED!  Found the answer on the W7 Forum

    Access to Mac OS X Windows sharing Windows 7
    Windows 7 will not work with the Mac OS X Windows support for default share file. If you try to access a shared folder on Mac OS X, W7 will display a logon error repeatedly.
    The problem is that W7, by default, will only use NTLMv2 for authentication, which is not supported by the service of sharing of Windows of Mac OS x.
    The other problem is that safety minimum Session for NTVLM SSP based Clients.
    To work around this problem:
    1. in W7, open the control panel
    3. double-click on Administrative Tools
    4 double click on local security policy
    5 expand "Local policies" and select "Security Options".
    6. locate "network security: LAN Manager Authentication Level" in the list and double-click it.
    7. change the setting of "NTMLv2 only send responses" to"send LM and NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if negotiated"
    8. network Security: minimum session for the NTLM SSP (including secure RPC) Clients security
    9. change the setting of "128-bit" unchecked (No Minimum)
    10. click on OK

  • My verse ATT modem (non apple devices to use this modem} is connected to the ATT line, Time Capsule (iPhones, Macs Time Capsule use) via ethernet Uverse.) Non apple devices can collect data from iPhones or Mac using the time Capsule?

    My verse ATT modem ({use of devices not apple wifi of this modem} is connected to the ATT line, Time Capsule (iPhones, Macs use the wifi of the time Capsule) and connect to the Uverse modem via ethernet.)

    Both devices are set to the highest security and each uses separate passwords.

    Non apple devices can collect data from iPhones or Mac using the time Capsule?

    With a bit of work by someone who knows how to do such things, not Apple computers could read some files on the Mac if file sharing is configured on the network... devices non-Apple and... He knew the device passwords or administrator for Macs.

    Mac could also play the files on other Macs if file sharing has been implemented and the device password or admin was known.

    If you ask if a PC can read the files on the Time Capsule, the answer is Yes, without doubt, assuming that the PC knew the password of device for the time Capsule.

    My iMac is running El Capitan and Time Machine is unable to find the Time Capsule backup drive.  I blew the backup several times in hopes that it will fix the problem.   The only thing I found which will allow a return to the top is to unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again.  The work around works only once, then it's back to "can't find the backup disk.

  • 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.
  • How can implement you not with Tim Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

    Hello

    How can implement you not with Time Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

    I don't know what you're asking.

    AirPort Extreme is a wireless router.

    A Time Capsule airport is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive for data storage.

    An iMac is a Mac computer.

    An iMac is not a wireless router, so he is unable to perform the functions of a wireless router.

  • Time capsule and extreme; Cannot create the roaming network

    Problem: when you try to create a network roaming with time capsule and extreme, the wifi hangs and the network is up and down. Here are my deets:

    TC and extreme as well have the latest firmware of the 7.7.7 are the latest generation of products, purchased in the last 12 months

    TC is connected to Arris SB6183

    ISP is Cox North san diego County

    TC is then connected to the netgear GS105. (upstairs)

    NETGEAR GS105 then connects to GS108 (down in the patch panel in the closet of the master bedroom)

    1 x GS108 port connects to extreme

    I can get the stable network and works correctly as long as I don't have connected and extreme.

    I followed the instructions provided by apple in their "how to set up a roaming network.

    I have hard reset the devices apple repeatedly in my attempt to get things to work

    I started a Wan shortly ago at the connected WiFi and that was stable and work for not more than 30 minutes and then it went offline.

    So here I am now. Unable to get back online and stable with two apple devices connected network.

    System was stable and working well before the upgrade to 7.7.7. I had a wifi connected network not a roaming network at the time.

    Any suggestion would be great and really appreciated.

    Thank you

    After screenshots of the TC and AE installing airport utility.

    I suspect that you simply have something set wrong...

    Main error is to use extend wireless when it is connected by ethernet... This will create a loop and bring down the network.

    The two units must be defined to create a wireless network... both must use the same name (SSID) and the same password, but must be set to different channels.

    It is almost impossible in this case crashing the network since the two are completely independent Wireless Access Points... (WAP).

    The TC must be in router mode... EI must be in the bridge (bridge mode off on the network tab.)

  • How can I enable port forwarding in the router of the time capsule

    Does anyone know how to enable port forwarding in router Time Capsule Airport please?

    Port Mapping on the time Capsule airport cannot be enabled unless you have the right type of modem on your network.

    Thus, we need the number of brand and model of the device you're calling your "modem" before we can move forward. Please post back this information.  We do not need a series number... only the name of the manufacturer and model number of the modem.

  • I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

    As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

    At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

  • Extend the reach of the WiFi with airport Time Capsule and Airport Express

    I want to extend the range of my WiFi network running on a Time Capsule with an Airport Extreme airport. The Internet, ADSL, signal goes from the cable box in a closet and has two Ethernet cables connecting the box. I installed a simple Ethernet switch and ran inside, with both Internet cables Ethernet Miss and in two rooms in my apartment. I created the Capsule of time like the WiFi router, then the Express in the other room in Bridge Mode to extend the range of the WiFi network and enable AirPlay. This configuration works well for a while, but after a certain time has problems. The Express seems to go back to the creation of the WiFi network on its own and I saw the problem of the conflict addreses DCHP.

    What seemed to work correctly using the Express as the "pivot" and I fell straight Internet on it and an Ethernet cable to connect the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode. It's far from ideal for me, however, because I like the Express to be in another room to extend the range of the WiFi network in this part of my apartment and be able to use it for AirPlay.

    Help, please.

    If you could let us know what operating system you use on your Mac or PC, we'll give you a configuration suggested for the AirPort Express, which will allow the Express and the Time Capsule to connect to the Ethernet switch and perform correctly.

    We assume that the switch and the wiring will function properly in your current configuration, as well as the time Capsule, is that correct?
