• 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.)

• Time Capsule or extreme with RAID?

  I have been balancing of the different possibilities for backup solutions and cannot make a decision on what would be the best route to take. I have reviewed so far the solutions are:

  Solution 1: Airport Time Capsule 2 TB with additional WD My Passport 2 TB USB 3.0 external hard drive attached

  Solution 2: Airport Extreme with 4 WD My Book Duo external storage attached to

  My home Setup would include 2 laptops (1 MBP mid-2012, 1 Macbook). I also have a router in place.

  I'm open to alternative solutions, which would be the best solution to have backups fast, safe and reliable from my laptop?

  A few questions if you don't mind:

  • In solution 2, is the AirPort Extreme, one model 802.11n or 802.11ac?
  • Are backups Time Machine or other types of backups?
  • Will use you or the other solution for storing files as well?
  • You want to do any media streaming from files stored?
  • The title of your post mentions RAID. What is an important goal in your backup strategy?

• 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'm lost and open for suggestions?

  My mac i run El Cap v 10.11.4.

  Time capsule two years old.

  Check the speed of 1-6 m down issue when happening, 17-18 when well. done before also.

  Can you please describe your network topology?

• Time Capsule, I get an error message

  iMac mid 2011, OSX El Capitan 10.11.6

  My Time Machine icon is grayed out in the menu bar. If I go in the preferences of M T I find T M turned OFF.

  I switch on, then select 'xxx airport Time Capsule. "

  Then this message comes after I entered the password.

  "There was a problem connecting to the server 'xxx airport Time Capsule'."

  How can I locate the problem please?

  Your iMac should be connected directly to the Treasury Board by ethernet (best method), or it must connect to its wireless.

  Having just the TC on the network is not good enough. The operating system won't be able to find it.

  Always had problems because you actually meet the above conditions.

  Reset the factory TC.

  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.

  Then redo the configuration of the computer that you want to use for TM using Airport utility.

  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 wireless is still an issue defined wireless names like TC24ghz and assigned the 5 GHz other name... for example. TC5ghz

  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.

  Ignore this point if you don't understand it... after the return if you drop questions.

  4. be sure that IPv6 is set correctly in the computer. IE link-local only for ethernet or wireless depending on whether you are using. Car is not good enough.

• Airport the Time Capsule Configuration for desktop?

  I have an airport Time Capsule that I use for support and wireless connectivity to the top of my MacBook Pro.  I have a PC connected to the time Capsule of internet access to the desktop PC.  Is it possible to set up backups from the PC to the time Capsule?

  Usually the time Capsule storage drive is formatted for use with OS X.

  As the old time Capsule (Time Machine backups) are crushed

  by the software as they go obsolete or when runs out of storage space, a

  Backup of Windows files on the same unit would not be a good idea.

  If the 'PC' indicates that your desktop under OS X, then it would

  be able to make backups of the other Mac software Time Machine

  and the total capacity of the unit of the time Capsule may be mitigated by

  the addition of claims on this other machine for the ability of autonomy.

  What is the storage of Time Capsule? I'd look for a separate device

  backup of a Windows system; However if a Mac running Windows, it

  may be possible to set something up for its operating system, other backup players.

  Here is an old source, but good for some information on OS X

  and Time Machine (and time capsule)

  • Apple OS X and Time Machine tips:

  http://pondini.org/OSX/home.html

  Maybe someone who has set up a workaround for Windows backup solution

  (separate drive, perhaps connected to Time Capsule/AirPort extreme)?

  can answer; that there is an extremely useful contributors in this area.

  Good luck & happy computing!

• can I use an external hard drive LaCie Raid time capsule?

  I am trying to hang a LaCie Raid to my Time Capsule for additional storage. I don't see the LaCie. Thanks in advance for the help.

  Support Apple mentions that you can plug a simple USB to the port on the router from the airport, or several readers if you use a powered USB hub.  There is no mention of Raid type disk, which I interpret as meaning that the RAID is not supported by the firmware on the USB port on the airport.

  Uses for the USB port of Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express - Support Apple Airport

  From my experience, the Raid type drives are not recognized by the USB port on the Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme.

  Even if the RAID drive was recognized, probably would NOT ever want to connect a RAID stack on the port.

  The reason is that the port is USB 2.0 only... and due to the limitations of the processor in the airport router, the port runs at half the speed of a USB 2.0 on a computer. Thus, it would be incredibly slow with this type of installation.

• TIME CAPSULE FULL

  Hello

  My Time capsule is full how can I destroy me versions more old ones that have been saved, it turns out that time Capsules cannot do it automatically either?
  Thank you
  Obwine JJ

  Do not attempt to remove the files from the Time Machine backup... or old backups... do you nothing useful and simply do the backup unusable.

  This occurs because when you update the OS it causes significant changes to the backup Time Machine such as™ is unable to understand what then is to be deleted or not.

  Check in your TC on a USB key size equal or superior to that of the disk of TC.

  

  Archive will take several hours, but once launched can stay... computer must not be running.

  When finished using the clear function and do a quick erase... It will take only a few minutes. Then start the pure backup on the TC.

  Keep older backups on USB for several months until you accumulate enough history you are you won't have old files... you can then remove and reuse the USB key.

• How do I properly fill my Airport Extreme to my Time Capsule?

  I'm trying to set up an Airport Extreme as a bridge to my Time Capsule via ethernet, so I can extend the range of my network. However, when I followed: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204616 I didn't see an option to "Share a public IP address" because the step by step seems to be older than my current Airport utility. How can ensure me that the setting applies?

  In the new version of airport utility, the installation program should be close automatic.

  Simply plug the new extreme in the TC with an ethernet cable... Extreme WAN LAN TC.

  Then run through the airport utility Setup Wizard.

  Use your own names... No, apple has recommended... I strongly suggest using short names... < 10 characters not alphanumeric pure spaces.

  It should then come with extend wired (ethernet).

  In case of failure we can do it manually... It is simple to install.

  Share a public IP address is not relevant because it is managed by the TC in any case.

  The extreme is dhcp on the Internet tab.

  Create a wireless network in the wireless tab.

  And the bridge on the network tab.

• 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.

• Airport Extreme, Time Capsule best practices configuration

  I searched for articles showing exactly what are the settings that I would see in my Airport Extreme Time Capsule. I put in place of the years before, but more recently WIFI was slow or choked several times a day. Our internet service provider recently upgraded its network, even though they claim that any slowdown is not their problem. I made sure the Time Machine backups do not cause them selfs. The Capsule is connected via CAT5 to the modem. All devices can connect wirelessly to the network.

  Base Station name is unique. Network is not hidden. Password is super strong. Wireless security is WPA/WPA2 Personal, just in case the older devices need to connect. In the window of the wireless Options, 5 GHz network name is disabled. 2.4 and 5 GHz channels is set to automatic. Router mode network is DHCP and NAT.

  I don't know if we're even using the 5 GHz mode. I want to make sure that we are optimizing on the installer. Any help is very appreciated.

  Wireless security is WPA/WPA2 Personal

  It's bad... AC is optimized to WPA2 and you will suffer significant slow down with WPA1. Even if your TC is former model Wireless N, that customers with AC wireless cards will not work as well.

  Use an AP gradually charge for older clients N or G... almost nothing today will be limited to the WPA1 unless it is very old and very slow.

  Name of the 5 GHz network is unchecked. 2.4 and 5 GHz channels is set to automatic. Router mode network is DHCP and NAT.

  The Apple 2.4 ghz speed limit... and always have.

  You will get the wrong speed on 2.4 ghz and is therefore the only way to improve the speed force customers to 5 GHz that can usefully use it.

  Check the 5 GHz range and give it a different name for the principal name wireless... It's the only way you can force clients to use the 5 GHz.

  How old and exactly which model is the TC? The base A1xxx please if you do not know.

  Age affects things. Routers wireless for some reason any servant of quality have a service life of about 3 years... the TC is actually worse than average... being more stressed to the load of the hard drive.

  I made sure the Time Machine backups do not cause them selfs.

  You actually turn off TM? Sometimes the TM always works, even when people think it's the start.

  more recently WIFI was slow or choked several times per day

  It's what I expected with TM still working on a computer.

• ICan I use Time Capsule in my Airport extreme to save files Ihave on my windows7 computer?

  How can I configure my Airport extreme, time capsule 3 to use the portion of the time capsule for the backup of my Sony VAIO computer?

  You can back up a windows computer to Time Capsule but I do not recommend.

  Any backup software that can use target network should work.

  Macrium Reflect is the one I use, I know the Time Capsule works.

  Time line of engineering is a concept similar to Time Machine for PC... It's more that I want to make, but it doesn't seem to be a free version... How good or bad or I do not know what limits.

  Internal backup software MS is generally useless... at least up to win 8.1 10.

  NOTE... A USB connected to the laptop computer and formatted NTFS native is far superior to backup to TC which is formatted HFS + (illegible for windows) which is networked that the SMB protocol and treaded as NT server with all its limitations with FAT32.

  Like many things you answer the question you... Yes. If you have... N °

• 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.
