Time Capsule of wireless extension

I just moved my Time Capsule in a House that had already set up a network of airports, so I need is no longer the network wireless set up on the TC. I don't have, however, still access the hard drive and I also need an ethernet port for a wired elsewhere in the House, so I spent in Extender mode and connected to the other airport network. I get no network via the ethernet port connectivity, and the TC light is orange and blinking slowly. Since he is no longer broadcast a wifi network, I can not access it via Airport utility to make changes. Any suggestions?

so, I spent it mode extension

The TC may 'extend' either by connecting to an existing wireless network signal, created by another Apple router... or... it can "extend" connecting using Ethernet to another router from Apple.

I'm guessing that you meant that you tried to configure the TC to extend the signal from the 'main' Apple router wireless, but it would be useful that you could confirm that.

No matter if you have configured the TC to extend wireless using or extend via an Ethernet connection, it would be a signal with the same name as the 'main' Apple router wireless, so I don't understand why that you cannot connect to the TC and check certain settings.

Unfortunately, as the Ethernet on the TC ports do not work, the option of trying to connect a Mac directly on the TC in this way in order to verify certain parameters will not be available.

My advice would be to start over on the TC and reset it to default and then put settings in place again.  Will not remove or modify any data on the hard drive TC... it will only reset network settings so that the TC can be reconfigured again to expand the network.

Here, I assume that the wireless network is provided by another router from Apple. It would be useful to know what model of the airport router, you will need to confirm that everything will work when you reconfigure the TC.

"Assistant" Installation Apple will implement the TC for you quickly easily, then that would be the way forward in this regard. Let us know if you need some tips on using the "Wizard".

  • Airport utility cannot find the time Capsule, but wireless is fine

    All of a sudden my TC stopped taking backups but the wireless works fine.

    Airport utility stopped recognizing the TC suddenly...

    I think it started acting weird it's because last night, I unplugged the TC of the socket directly instead of turn off... This could be the problem.

    This is what, in my view, that the solution could be:

    (1) reboot Macbook

    (2) open Airport utility

    File 3)--> set up

    (4) now he would invite, address and password: especially it would be 10.0.0.1, but you get to the option + wifi

    (5) then just tweak a setting so that the update button is highlighted...

    6) click on update & the router restarts

    (7) Viola you should now see the airport in airport utility.

    I hope this helps. I tried to put that answer in another thread, but the forum has been locked for discussion... That's why this new post

    Thank you

    Bumblebee

    It is not so rosy, as you described!

    I can write in folders on Time Capsule, I use internet, but the utility does not see the drives, printer and Time Machine is no more support for MacBook...

    The only reason for this behavior is dynamic DNS change the LAN iP addresses... after the router has been reset by the network provider.

    Any advice, please?

  • BT SmartHub with airport Time Capsule

    I have been using my Airport Extreme (Time Capsule), connected to an infinite number of BT Modem for quite awhile this provision of my wireless network and a large drive to transfer data between iMac and MacBook pro (etc) (I poured the Bt HomeHub 3 in favor of the Airport Extreme). Unfortunately I had to also provide a down WiFi Repeater for total WiFi coverage throughout the House. I just got a new SmartHub BT who now gives me a WiFi coverage at exceptional speeds throughout the House (it's been so far with 2 Infinity Modem).

    The problem I have now is that I can't effectively use Time Capsule as my NAS (or at least is what seems to be the case). If I leave on time capsule, its wireless network is visible as before, but of course I can't use it as I have the wireless network BT providing WiFi Internet connectivity. So how to connect the clip time to my 'new' network so that it is visible both the iMac and the MacBook only as a drive.

    You have a few choices, both methods require that the Time Capsule (TC) keep in touch with the new HomeHub BT by Ethernet:

    1. Reconfigure the TC as a bridge and disable its wireless radios.
    2. Reconfigure the TC as a bridge and then configure the HomeHub and TC in a mobile network. It would be more logical if you need to expand the network of the HomeHub wireless.
  • Using Time Capsule airport on 2 devices

    for some reason, I have a PET of brain here and do not understand this.

    My wife has a laptop computer macpro she does his grad school stuff on.   I have an iMac.   I also have the time capsules from the airport.  the woman is set up with time machine, it sends data via wifi to the time capsule. It is very good.  The mine records at the same Time capsule airport wireless.

    ME, I would use one different wifi router other than the airport on another network device I have, however, the question is: is it possible that I can keep the wifi for the operation of the Apple device and connect my computer via ethernet to the device for the back upward only, using the capsule on the imac.

    I think I can, but I don't want to screw up the wireless network.

    You can use both ethernet and wireless at the same time... but it becomes complicated with the gateway router and DNS values.

    Secondary wireless router should use another address LAN IP for the TC, so you can separate the two networks.

    This could lead to further questions about the network although because you must plug a router into the other I presume... unless you are completely isolate the TC from the internet or if you have in fact two internet connections.

    Give me the real details.

    What is the second router and IP is running?

    How is the installation of TC and what IP is running?

    Screenshots that make it easier.

    I did a write up with screenshots here, which will give you the basics.

  • Clone of Win and Time Capsule

    Hello.

    I am currently on a MBPro, with El Capitan, Bootcamp and Windows 10.  I have a Time Capsule for wireless backup.

    Will it partition and format the time Cap. While Win Clone can use it for backups?  Or can I just format the whole TC in a format usable by OS X and Windows 10?

    Thank you

    BKB

    You don't have to and can not change the format of the time Capsule; Since this is a network drive, it'll be available on all computers on the network regardless of OS file system support.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to configure a printer wireless connected to Time Capsule?

    I just bought a printer HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M577z MFP Flow. It has capabilities of wireless printing. So far, I was able to connect wirelessly to one of my MacBook Pro computers, but only by having the printer create an Ad - hoc network that allows up to 5 devices to connect to the printer. But that of not what I want because every computer should manually disconnect the Wi - Fi network, connect to the Ad hoc network, the print job and then reconnect to the Wi - Fi network whenever a print job is required. It is very difficult and frustrating.

    What I would like is striking is the printer act like a network printer by wireless connection to my Time Capsule. I can't connect the printer to the USB port of time Capsule because they are far away from each other, and I don't want to use cables throughout my place. But I have no idea on how to do it because I can't find this option in the menu of the writer or configuration of the United Nations the HP utility software.

    I hope someone here could help me, please. Thank you!

    I have an Epson printer, so some of my experiences may or may not apply.

    I also have a time Capsule, and my printer and Time Capsule are far apart.

    My current configuration looks exactly what you are looking for: a wireless network provided by Time Capsule than all my Apple devices to a wireless connection, and my printer connects to the same wireless network.

    When I first bought the Epson printer, I needed to connect it to the Capsule of time via a USB port.  This sounds as if it were true for you as well.  So, for this very short period. I moved the printer via the USB port next to the printer, the connected Time Capsule, made the setup and then the printer recognized my standard wireless network.  I've returned to steady state, which I use now, with the printer and the far (actually on different floors) Time Capsule.

  • 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.

  • Extreme slowness of local area network and Time Capsule wireless speeds

    I have a time Capsule Airport Extreme 3 G with firmware version 7.7.3 I use for lan connections / wireless and backup of all apple devices that do not use the cloud. For the last month or so sometimes I ridiculously slow speed issues that cannot be remedied with any one of them that I have tried. 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.

    I can all my products easily connect to the internet using Airport Time Capsule? I know I can save wireless my Apple products, but can I also backup my computers portable windows on the Time Capsule via a cable?

    Yes, but windows esp... 10 windows can be uncooperative.

    Also I do not know at all the recovery will be easy depending on what backup software you plan on using.

    Don't forget the world of Windows that the TC still looks like NT Server with FAT32 drives and all the inherent problem that there are.

  • Use WAN connected airport Time Capsule as a wireless access point

    I had to replace a failed 4 Gen Time Capsule. I tried to install a new Gen 5 airport TimeCapsule via WAN and set up the airport to act as a wireless access point. It is installed in an area of my house with wireless coverage. In the network of AirPort Utility Mode section, I chose "extend a wireless network. The TC is restarted, I get an error message cannot find the intended wireless network.

    What I lack?

    "Extend a wireless network" is a parameter that is only used if the time Capsule need to connect to another router from Apple with the help of a Wi-Fi connection.

    You use Ethernet to connect, you must use the parameter to "create a wireless network. Use the same wireless network name and the same password as your "primary" router
