Time Capsule connected via Ethernet and put in place as an extension to my Airport Extreme Base Station wireless.  'Disc' Time Machine use?

If my Time Capsule is connected by ethernet to my Mac, Time Machine uses this connection or the wireless connection?

It depends on the order of connection of your Mac. If your Mac has been defined first connect using Ethernet if an Ethernet connection is present, then the Mac will save over Ethernet, even if the WiFi is enabled on the Mac.

However, if your Mac has WiFi to connect first and WiFi is on... then the Mac connects using WiFi, even if an Ethernet connection exists.

To see the binding command or service so that your Mac is using...

Open the preferences system (gear on the dock icon)

Open network

Click on the gear at the bottom of the list of connection icon

Click the Set Service command

If you want to make sure that your Mac will always connect to Ethernet first, even if WiFi is turned on... then you want to make sure that Ethernet appears at the top of the service order.  If this isn't the case, drag it to the top. Click OK, and then click apply at the bottom right of the window.

Another simple method to ensure that the backups will be produce by Ethernet is simply disable WiFi on Mac and let up to that you unplug the Ethernet cable, date at which you would be back on WiFi

  • problem w / Airport Extreme base station and modem Netgear broadband

    I just changed to ATT Uverse to Time Warner - internet only.  With Uverse, I was using my Airport Extreme base station to create a wireless network, and it has worked well in this capacity.  When you switch to TWC, the tech got the modem (TWC allows you to buy your own modem, so I bought a Netgear CM600 a recommended model) enabled and works very well, but could not get the Airport base station to talk about her (yellow light blink on the base station).  So, he opted for a TWC wireless modem/router.  Interestingly, I found that I could plug the Airport base station in the TWC modem (without any reconfiguration, just plugged into the WAN port base station to the modem ethernet port, as I had had with Uverse equipment) and voila!  It worked immediately.

    So, I called TWC to retry my Netgear modem.  I have the base station power off, plugged on the ethenet port Netgear, put back under tension and just got the blinking light.  I know that the modem does not work, because my iMac's network to the internet through the base station, for the Netgear, and go outside and I can fine surf in this way.  So it is something in the wireless configuration that must be different between the TWC modem and the Netgear modem.

    Obviously, I'm not an expert at this, basic troubleshooting tips would be appreciated.  The base station functions as a router (I can connect through a port ethernet through it), it is simply not generate a WiFi network for me...

    Thanks for the tips

    So, he opted for a TWC wireless modem/router.  Interestingly, I found that I could plug the Airport base station in the TWC modem (without any reconfiguration, just plugged into the WAN port base station to the modem ethernet port, as I had had with Uverse equipment) and voila!  It worked immediately.

    If your AirPort Extreme has been in its original configuration, it would act as a wireless Internet router. If you connect another router upstream to the extreme, there is work, but you'll have a condition known as: Double NAT. This isn't necessarily bad, but should be avoided if possible. To do this is simply to reconfigure the downstream router (in this case, the extreme) under a bridge. This disable its functions of routing and remove the error condition.

    However, if your extreme base station has been reconfigured as a bridge, if connect you directly to a simple modem, like the Netgear CM600, then this configuration will not work because no device will provide the necessary routing functions.

    It's always a good idea to perform a full power recycle your network hardware during change of equipment. Maybe that's the only thing your missed when you design your own? If you haven't done so already, please give it a try with the CM600 & Extreme combo. After return your results.

  • Can I connect a wireless modem to my Airport Extreme base station via ethernet and then connect this Ethernet modem to my TV to pinterest?

    Hello

    I want to connect my TV to my Airport Extreme via ethernet, so I can run Netflix. Can I just the branch? Can or, if it does not reach, I use an old router as a bridge linking to the Airport via an ethernet cable and connect the router to the TV?

    Thank you

    I want to connect my TV to my Airport Extreme via ethernet, so I can run Netflix. Can I just the branch?

    Yes.

    Can or, if it does not reach, I use an old router as a bridge linking to the Airport via an ethernet cable and connect the router to the TV?

    Yes. It is also possible, but only by using an Ethernet switch instead of a router would be a better solution. The important thing is the total distance of Ethernet between the extreme and the TV. Ethernet is limited to 100 m (328 ft)

  • 1102w does not connect correctly to the Airport Extreme Base station (Time Capsule) (wireless)

    & #3; I've been troubleshooting all day on this problem for my parents, trying to set up printing wireless for them on their new HP 1102W. I am trying to connect the printer wireless to their Airport Time Capsule base station. Using the WPS configuration, the printer is recognized by the base station, but I'm still not able to print wirelessly or via airprint. Enter the web configuration via USB, I see that the printer is grateful the network, but it doesn't have an IP address (it is set to auto/DHCP). Later I tried to connect to a shared of my iphone, wifi connection and everything worked perfectly, so the problem is that somehow the printer will not connect properly to the Airport base station. I tried several resets and restarts the printer and the base station, and the printer and the base of the station has new firmware. I also tried to change the security on the terminal of the default wpa2 personal wireless with wpa/wpa2 personal.

    I'd appreciate comments on this issue because I am quite frustrated now :-)

    Using the tool of the airport, I logged on to the base station and changed the wifi settings, while 2.4 and 5 ghz networks have different names instead of identical names standard. That did the trick, eventually I just configured the printer using wps in a few minutes.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Drives and airport Extreme Base Station to disconnect after connection to the VPN

    At home when I'm on WIFI, everything works fine. At the moment where I connect to the VPN to do office work, the base station will disconnect and accessible either.

    Any help?

    The problem you are experiencing is perhaps due to the type of VPN tunnel that you use to connect to your workplace. There are basically two types: 1) full or partial) 2. Note: The different VPN clients can use other words, but these are usually options when you set up a tunnel.

    When you use a complete tunnel, all traffic between your computer and the VPN of your working server, through the tunnel. No traffic is allowed on your local network, and therefore, all local resources are not available. With a partial tunnel, your computer data traffic, may as well go through the tunnel and also to your local network. One reason to use a partial tunnel, for example, is that you have a local printer, you need to perform printing. You can be connected to this type of tunnel for access to the documents and then, be able to print on this printer... otherwise, with a tunnel of full, you would print to a printer at your place of work.

  • Photosmart more B209a-m does not connect with apple airport extreme base station

    I use the B209a-m wireless with a netgear router OS6.  I just changed the Netgear to an apple Airport Extreme router.  All my other hardware connected successfully with the new router but the B209a-m says "no connection found."  I know the printer is well within the router.  I have reset the factory settings on the printer.  I've disabled the system and restarted.  None of this has worked.  Suggestions?

    Hello

    You should not connect it to the airport.

    You must connect the printer with a USB port on your Mac, then run the HP installation wizard.

    From there, you will be guided to provifde the details needed to establish the connection between the printer and Airport Extreme wireless.

    Once the process will be completed and set up the wifi connection you will be guided to unplug the USB.

    You must use a USB cable high speed standard, not longer than 2 m in length.

    The square end must be connected to the USB port located at the back of the printer:

  • Can I connect my Airport Extreme base station via an ethernet cable to a counter of locus?

    Can I use my Airport Express (802.11n Wi - Fi) to connect with an ethernet cable, a locus counter that is used with a solar panel inverter?  Currently I use the hotspot to connect two different Mac computers and an Ipad.  Sungevity, Setup, told me that the signal must go in a direction of my locus meter satellite modem.  Sungevity also told me that if I can hard wire any device (such as a computer) directly from my Airport, I should also be able to do the same with the meter of locus.  Has anyone tried this before?

    Thank you.

    What is the AirPort Express you have?

    As you test, turn off the WiFi on a computer and then connect the computer to the local network <-->port on the AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable to see if the computer can get a good connection Internet in this way?

    If he CAN... and if the people of support for your solar panels have provided the correct information... then the meter will work.

  • Can range of printers HP 6830 - I connect via USB and ethernet?

    I just bought a printer HP 6830.  I have a Windows Vista computer that I don't want to be connected to the internet and a PC of Windows 8.1, but also a laptop Windows 2000 who are both connected to the internet via ethernet (and can also be connected via a wireless connection).  I was hoping to connect the printer to the PC via the port USB Vista and for Windows 8.1 PC and laptop computer via an ethernet cable.  Can I connect via usb or ethernet connection at the same time?

    Hello

    You can install the software via a USB port on your Windows Vista PC, do not connect USB until the installation guide to make.

    So you can connect the printer to your network and install it on Windows 8.1 PC, USB and a network connection can be used for concurrency and would not interfere between them...

    For the PC under Windows 2000, the printer is not compatible with the operating system and there is no drivers for such a, you can find the system requirements below:

  • OfficeJet 7410 does not connect via WiFi and will not scan

    I don't know if this post is in the right place, but here goes:

    I have a 7410 OfficeJet that was connected to my home network so that I could print/scanning wireless to it from any computer in the House.  It worked well for a while.  I am running Windows XP SP 3.

    We lost power for a few days during the hurricane (Fortunately it was our one central issue), and when the power was restored the 7410 wouldn't connect to the wireless network (we have FiOS).  I checked the unit identifies the correct system ID (and I entered the WEP key), but when I try to install from the desktop computer, it can not find the 7410 (laptop computer also was not able to find the 7410).  The only way I could get the desktop to detect the 7410 is to connect it to the router with an ethernet cable (it does not work with the laptop).  I also can't connect to the wireless printer if I put the IP address in my browser (I'm able to do when it's connected via ethernet).  Not sure if it is a firewall issue.

    When the 7410 is connected to the router with the ethernet cable, I could print to it without any problems.  However, I can't scan from it.  When I try to scan, I get the error message "when trying to scan, could not find the required user interface file (Please reinstall scanning software).  I uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software, but I still get this message.  I also followed the instructions here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00516936 but that has not solved the problem.

    This morning, I uninstalled the printer with the hope that, put it back in place could solve the problem of scanning, but now the computer is not able to find the printer, even if it is connected by ethernet.

    I hope I gave enough information.  Ideas/comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

    I think I see what's happening. You just need to reestablish the connection to the printer wireless. The document below should help you with that. Once you have done so, the software shouldn't have a problem connecting to the wireless printer.

    I just bought an Iphone 6s and not yet am possession of en from the Sim Card. Ook, do you know if I can use the phone including applications via Wifi and put the chip later? Thank you. Renault JL

    No, because if you bought a new iPhone, then you need a SIM card to activate it before you can use the wifi applications.

    This is a phone after all, you don't need a sim card any to be able to activate it.

    OEM for the printer manufacturer is responsible for the proper functioning of the printer
    and their drivers. Check with the manufacturer of the printer support, their online
    documentation and drivers and ask in their forums.

    Good luck, you need to update or reinstall the latest driver.

    Turn about your Airport Extreme for 15 seconds and then power back on. As soon as you see the green light, you should be able to see him for a minute or two in the Airport utility. In the affirmative, and see if you have Back to My Mac active. If so, disable it by removing all the e-mail addresses of the back section of my Mac. Then update your Airport Extreme. Work quickly.

    Many have started having this problem within the last week, probably because Apple changed something in its servers CCMM. A real difficulty would come from Apple, but it should work if you currently have active CCMM.
