• 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.)

• should my time capsule be connected with a cable for backups, after the initial installation?

  should my time capsule be connected with a cable for backups, after the initial installation?

  If you mean that you have to keep your Mac connected to a Time Capsule via Ethernet for future backups, then the answer is no. Time Machine and time Capsule are designed to work over wireless for your Mac would just need to be connected to the wireless network provided by the time Capsule.

• Time Capsule or Extreme how to differentiate?

  How can we differentiate Time Capsule extreme TC?

  If you talk about new models, AC wireless... the TC weighs much more.

  It has a hard drive 2 TB or 3 TB in it. Otherwise, they look almost identical.

  See https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Apple_Time_Capsule

  There is a link on the dismantling of the new extreme equivalent model.

  If there is something else you are after, or it is not the current model... indicate explicitly the question.

• 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.

• 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.

  Can you please describe your network topology?

• Have problems and questions with Time Capsule were addressed in any significant way. Reluctant to buy according to your comments.

  Have problems and questions with Time Capsule was dealt with in a meaningful way? Reluctant to buy according to your comments.

  Apple did not have any material changes to the time Capsule to nearly 3 years. The only change that has occurred in the last 18 months or so is a firmware update to address security issues.

• Cannot view or connect to the Wifi network of 5 GHz with Time Capsule from Apple 5th generation

  I have a new Apple Time Capsule 2 TB with 802.11ac network support. I have setup my base station in order to disseminate the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network SSID. I have 2 apple (iPad Mini and Macbook Pro) time devices can see and connect to Terminal 5 GHz network however I have also a Lenovo Vibe P1 phone (dual band wifi supported) and Samsung Galaxy Tab S compressed (dual band wifi supported) and these devices cannot see or connect to the network of 5 GHz of Base Station. I also have a Cisco router that has a dual-band support and all my devices can see and connect to the network of 5 GHz of this router.  So I wonder why I have this problem with time capsule?

  I have reset my base twice station and it is a new device purchased last month.

  Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

  Did you use the SMB compatible names for everything...?

  That is to say the alphanumeric short, without spaces and Pure...

  for example base station name... TCgen5

  name TCwifi wireless

  Have you also used the password corresponding to these requirements... but can be between 8 and 20 characters.

  If so, then you must give a different name to 5 GHz and delete the password and test... If it's not yet connect the test manually on channels 36, 44, and 149 for example if you are in the USA...

• Can I use Apple TV with airport Time Capsule 3 to 4

• Problems of compatibility with Time Capsule

  I have a Time Capsule, which seems to be only compatible with Snow Leopard.  My software is OS X 10.9.5 (13F1603). Live in glue, I would back up my MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule as the internet is slow, but it seems that if they are not compatible with each other.  Any ideas as to what I can do?

  A time Capsule will work with any Mac operating system.

  You are right that the BONES later has more good problems.

  Here's my standard set of instructions to work things out.

  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.

• Unstable WiFi with Time Capsule + Booster Express

  Hello.  Every night my wi - fi breaks down.  I called Comcast and they swear the internet connection works and routers are the problem. (Internet works with a wired connection).

  I have 2 routers: Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac with a Terminal Airport Express 802.11n (2nd generation) in the range extender.  Both are about 1.5 years old.

  In the evening, the lights flash yellow and they go in and out.  AirPort Utility often shows messages yellow triangle error.  I can unplug and restart them and often the wi - fi goes back only to go down again later.  In this case all evening.  Increases the frequency and duration of the outage.

  If it is in fact a router problem, suggestions on how to solve the problems?

  Thank you very much!

  What is the make & model of the Comcast Internet modem brings you your Time Capsule (TC) connected to via Ethernet? Where is the Terminal AirPort situated Express regarding the TC? Same room, another room or different floor? Are they connected by wire or wireless?

• 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:

  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!

• Setting up Time Capsule 3 to

  Advice please, I'm a little confused as to how set up my Airport Time Capsule to do what I want it to do.

  I currently have:

  -A "Superhub" recently installed offering fast home Internet access via a cable fibre optic supplier.

  -J' bought a Time Capsule from Apple before hand and want to put it up to do the following:

  -Connect two external hard disks accessible storage from my Mac Mini and MacBook (USB connection).

  -To connect a USB printer accessible to these two computers, (more than the iPad and an IPhone).

  (Meanings attached to the ATC via a USB hub)

  -Use 3 TB storage in ATC as a backup Time Machine of Mac Mini and MacBook.

  I understand that ATC must be connected on the beautiful via Ethernet to the WAN socket cable to a plug on the hub.

  I'd be grateful if someone could please explain/point me to an explanation that describes how to set up my Mac Mini ATC in order to achieve the above requirement clearly and in simple terms.

  Thank you very much

  Before you begin, you must understand that to connect a printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule, as the iPhone and iPad iOS devices will NOT be able to print to the printer?

  That being said, a third party application like Printopia pourrait be able afford this, but there are no guarantees, and our ability to help on such things is limited, at best.

  The reason is that iOS devices required an AirPrint -compatible printer that connects to a wireless network. In other words, Apple takes the 'Air' in AirPrint very seriously.  Please take a look at this support document Apple for more information on AirPrint compatible printers.

  On AirPrint - Apple Support

  Order of the day. Depending on the brand and model of your printer, your Mac may or may not be able to print on a printer connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.  Unfortunately, Apple does not provide a list of compatible devices in this regard.

  So, while we provide some tips on 'how to' attempt to put in place, we cannot tell you if it will work or not. Not sure how well... or if it will work until you try it on your own network.

  We will try to help, but normally, you could get information on how to set up your printer by people of support for your printer, not to Apple.

  Regarding the connection of two hard disks and a printer to the USB port of Time Capsule, this will require the use of a powered USB hub which manages devices USB 4 or more.  The problem... some powered USB hubs will not accept a USB to operate simultaneously, so you wouldn't be able to print, for example, while you have been back up data on a hard drive connected to the powered hub.

  So, you will need to check with people of powered support for your hub to ensure he will allow the simultaneous for USB devices use.

  If you want to move forward, we can help get the set up time Capsule and work with your Superhub, but our ability to help printers and hard drives may be limited.

• Cannot set up time capsule

  ccannot get rid of blinking yellow when you try to time capsule of installation with net gear 7550 with ATT dsl. I need instructions step by step.

  Yellow flashing can be about 100 different reasons... (exaggerating)

  Open airport utility... Click on the TC and post a screenshot showing the error message... We cannot do anything without knowing what error.

  It could be updated firmware available... and so there is absolutely nothing wrong with the configuration whatsoever.
