Time Capsule: no wifi

Hello

I have a wifi wireless set up on my TC. It worked perfectly fine until Saturday. Suddenly, it didn't...
Lost wifi and can not see what is the problem. Has not changed anything, so I don't understand why it happened all of a sudden.

It is said in my setup of the airport: none to Internet & no DNS server. The light on the TC continues to blink orange...

Tried everything; reset, power, stop modem, etc... Nothing works...

Does anyone have any idea?

Lost wifi

Don't know what that means. This means that...

Wireless devices can 'see' the wireless network and connect, but cannot get an Internet connection?

Wireless devices can 'see' the wireless network but cannot connect?

Wireless devices can not even 'see' a wireless network at all?

When you say that you "tried everything", which include try an other Ethernet cable between your modem and the TC... and also to connect your Mac directly on the modem to make sure that it works?

Can you provide the serial number and model of your modem?

  • I have 2 routers.  Both can have time capsule for wifi?

    I have a Netgear C3000 Modem/Router, where my internet comes from the wall.  I also have a router VPN Sonicwall for work.  My sonicwall going through my Time Capsule for wifi.  Recently, I upgraded my internet speed with my ISP to 150.  When the internet is channeled through two routers, the speed is quite slow (about what it was before the upgrade).  When I get wifi directly from my Netgear, the speed is much faster.  Can I have 2 sources on the internet through my Time Capsule?  1 for the work (slower wifi) and 1 for home (faster wifi)?

    Can I have 2 sources on the internet through my Time Capsule?

    Unfortunately, the time Capsule cannot handle this... because it would need to have two WAN ports to be able to handle two Internet connections. Since then she has only one, you will need to decide which source you want to use with time Capsule.

  • Airport Time Capsule drops Wifi/Internet with 7.7.3

    I started having a lot of problems with my internet connection.   I have TWC with my own Motorola Modem connected to a running 7.7.3 TC firmware (about 14 months or two).    The internet continues to lose connectivity.   The lights on the modem are beautiful and the TC has constantly green.   But in the Airport utility, the modem (internet) is yellow.   My hard CAT5 connection from my computer has no internet.   All devices as the Apple TV4, iPhone and iPad are all connected wireless because I can connect to the computer for the movies on the hard drive of my computer... But no real internet connection.

    I called 6 times in the last week and it was recommended that I replace the modem... What I did.  Alas, no more than 24 hours later the same issue again.  TWC seems to think something is wrong with he TC... Is - this right, its connected to my devices, but not the modem for the internet?   I read something on the DNS servers and away provided TWC DSN servers.  Long time without activity and the TC loses the connection?

    Does anyone have any help here?   Everything about my new ATV4?

    Thank you

    I have TWC with my own Motorola Modem

    This modem do you have? What did you replace by? Need a real model number.

    The new TC there a lot of problems with some Motorola modems... but it is not easily reproducible. The fact that it ran ok for 14 and suddenly started having problems is also common... It seems they fall more often if this is the first day, and then after a year or two.

    I read something on the DNS servers and away provided TWC DSN servers.

    You can try using Google's DNS servers in the TC and see if that changes anything... or in the client and see if that fixes things... Any kind of test worth it... results negative are valid search... they offer a key to what is NOT the problem.

    Everything about my new ATV4?

    Again, it is simple trial and error... Give up ATV4 for a trial period. Simple as pie.

    Reset the TC factory and redo the installation.

    I recommend the following.

    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.

  • Is it possible to use express Airport and Time Capsule both as two Wifi-repeaters at the same time?

    Hello

    I have a time Capsule from the airport. I use it for my back ups and he repeats my wifi in the House (bottom).

    Now I need a Repeater wifi upstairs. I think to buy Airport Express. I will connect the Airport express with a Lan connection on the floor. And then I would also have wifi on the floor.

    But is it possible to use the time Capsule Airport express airport and at the same time: two repeaters-wifi?

    1. I have a Fritz! Box router / wifi (we called wifi Fritz! box)

    2. I have a time Capsule airport / wifi Repeater (we called the turtle wifi)

    3 and now I want Airport express on the floor for the wifi upstairs (another name for this wifi?)

    Is this possible?

    Before I had used TP-link (in socket), but it works for a few months.

    Thank you for your help and advice.

    2. I have a time Capsule airport / wifi Repeater (we called the turtle wifi)

    I think that your terminology wrong... the TC cannot work as a Repeater in the Frtiz.

    I think that you have done is connect via ethernet and run it as wireless... or WAP Access Point. It is perfectly great way to do it.

    3 and now I want Airport express on the floor for the wifi upstairs (another name for this wifi?)

    This is connected by ethernet, then it will work fine... you can call it Expresswifi

    You are certainly going to clutter the wireless channels, you could so be interesting rather than auto setting fastenings.

    2.4 ghz has been set to 1, TC 6 and 11 Express then Frtiz.

    5 GHz is less of a problem... auto should be fine, because the beach is mediocre.

  • 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.

  • iMac causes the connection to Time Capsule Internet to lock up

    Whenever my iMac wakes up and connects to my Time Capsule via a Wi - fi, internet connection the TC freezes immediately for all connected devices, including the iMac.  I first noticed the issue on the iMac where internet was not accessible through any application on the system.  Then I went to my MacBook Pro, I found the same problem from happening.  Even on my iPhone and iPad.  I assumed it was an ISP issue and abandoned.

    A few hours later, I went back to my MBP and found the internet connection has been re-established and working properly.  I then went back and woke to my iMac and open Safari.  The field of the internet to a halt.  Back on my MBP connection was suspended again.  Now I think that my iMac was the problem, I turned off wifi on the iMac, and the page that I tried to load it on my MBP immediately came.

    Then I tried don't start the iMac in Mode safe mode to see if I could eliminate the problem... no chance.  Even in safe mode, when it is connected to on the wifi time capsule, the internet connection for the entire House grinds to stop.

    So, to summarize, when my iMac is awake and connected to my Time Capsule via wifi, internet connection for all devices connected to this wifi network hangs up completely.  The moment I turn off wifi on the iMac, the internet connection is restored immediately at full speed for all other devices on the network.

    I'm at a total loss about what to do next... any ideas?

    Please start the iMac in recovery mode. To connect to the network. The same thing happens?

  • 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.

  • Utilities airport shows a triangle Orange on Time Capsule, Wifi working

    Recently, my Time capsule is showing an orange triangle in AP-utility. By clicking on it, it shows the message: AP Time capsule found, with the possibility to forget.

    Time capsule shows a steady green light. Wifi is good job and my two other airports Express are being lit in the utility.

    I've read other discussions with similar problems. So, I did the following things:

    (1) soft reset of time capsule,

    (2) Changed link local IPv6 settings

    (3) disabled firewall

    (4) settings saved and restarted.

    It did not help for long after a few minutes the triangle orange has shown once again.

    In Time Machine, time capsule HD is not recognized or the other.

    But the wifi works perfectly.

    Please notify.

    I think that the problem is resolved.

    In this link, I found a solutionTime capsule will appear but the WIFI connection works

  • Time capsule is not displayed but the work of WIFI connection

    Hello

    I have a Time Capsule 2 giga, which is used as a WIFI router connected to my normal router via Ethernet and an Airport Extreme, main, used as extension. Until today everything worked well.

    Now, when I open the Airport utility to display the connection, it shows me that the TC and AE are not registered more (device not found). But I can still access the Wifi and internet via networks, I created, but not the backup.

    I unplugged the TC and AE, reconnected them, reset, then the connection worked.

    But now it is again.

    Does anyone have the same problem?

    Concerning

    Unfortunately, this issue is not new and has been reported a number of times since OS X Mavericks.

    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.
    • Try to access the base station using the utility file > configure other... option. Then enter the IP address of LAN - side base station (the default value is: 10.0.1.1) and password of the administrator of the base station.
    • 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:
        Note: You may temporarily connect your Mac or PC directly to the base by Ethernet station to access.
        • 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.
    • Finally, if you try to access the Airport via an Ethernet connection, make sure that your Ethernet port is NOT configured for Jumbo frames, that is, by using a MTU of 9000 +.
  • WiFi work stopped on Time Capsule, but manages to get internet

    Part of our time Capsule Wifi stopped working in our office.  He continues to receive internet because everything that is connected to the internet can connect properly, including our VoIP phone system.  It just seems to be the Wifi on the Time Capsule.  The network will appear as an option on our devices, but when we try to connect, it continues to request the password.  We tried to reset and unplug, but we are unable to join the wireless network.  The time Capsule is two years old, so I don't feel like it should be failed.  Any suggestions?

    WiFi may fail.

    Please do a full factory reset.

    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.

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.

    Run through the installation wizard in airport utility

    Make sure you only give a name short and simple wifi... No, Apple has recommended. < 10 characters, pure alphanumeric characters.

    for example TCwifi

    Or even give the 2 strips of different names, for example TC24ghz and TC5ghz

    Password use WPA2 Personal, pure from 8 to 20 alphanumeric characters.

    If you still have questions wireless... the TC may be broken.

    If you have applecare on a computer or an ipad or apple TV the TC is covered and get Apple to replace.

    If it is less than 2 years old and you don't have applecare you can always buy.

    Is this more or less 2 years... It is essential... If it is still 1 day less than you can be replaced.

    Buy applecare on any product that you already have still eligible or buy a Gen3 Apple TV... don't open it. Buy applecare for it... get your TC replaced under the applecare... return the apple TV for refund.

  • time capsule airport lose wifi range

    I've been using airport time capsule as a router and machine time about 1.5 years and suddenly the WIFI range

    come fall, I use the modem cable HI Speed with 10 loading MB and 150 MB down when suddenly the speed dropped I still get 10 but only about 92 or less down, unless I use an ethernet cable that brings speed to 150 are lowest, (PS), I ran the on time capsule ethernet cable to my Mac mini so it becomes what should be diffuse but do not do a very good job more.

    question is there something that can be done to solve this problem everyone knows this problem, thanks for any help that can be provided.

    What exact model of the Time Capsule (TC) do you have? Given that the question appears with the wireless, you live in an area with a high concentration of other networks Wi - Fi? An apartment complex or a dorm maybe?

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • How to enable wifi in time capsule

    I use the Wi - Fi system router modem Asus wireless but want to switch to wifi in my Time Capsule. The device from Asus is connected by ethernet to both time Capsule and my iMac. How to activate wifi Time Capsule?

    Apple provides advice for a first installation, but this does not apply in my case.

    Just check the TC in your airport utility.

    Click the icon of the TC... then edit at the bottom right of the summary screen...

    and go to the wireless tab... Make sure that you create a wireless network.

    You can set your computer to join.
