Time Capsule reducing Hardwired speed

I have a gigabit ethernet connection and became speeds as last year.

I recently noticed things were slow.  I'm not to lift more than 90 and 90 below.  I called my service provider who contacted the society of fiber and they claimed that I have a device that is connected that can not handle the gigabit connection.  I the end 2014 27 "iMac and the latest version of time capsule (updated to 7.7.3) so I know that they're wrong.  In addition, I received rates preceding earlier.  They had me connect my modem directly on the computer and of course I got new speeds.  Running the wired connection through the router, it seems that my time capsule limits my speed.  I Googled it and can't find anything.  Help!

It is useful to know if the Capsule acts as a router DHCP and NAT for your network, or if your "modem" will carry the router for the network and the time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode.

We assume that you have checked to make sure that the Ethernet cable is not in place and reducing speeds... because a bad connection will pass a Mbps 1 000 potential up to approximately 100 Mbps speeds.

We also assume that you have turned off and restarted several times Time Capsule.

Can you check the setting of your Time Capsule router Mode and a report on that?  To do this...

Open the AirPort on your Mac utility (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility )

Click on the image of the Time Capsule

Click Edit in the window that appears

Click on the network at the top of the screen

Report on the current value for the router Mode

    Who is your provider?

    This modem do you have? Brand and model please.

    We need to know how the TC is the installer... is this in bridge or main router?

    Ironically with some old customers that will always be the case.

    To be taken seriously... you need to measure a lot of things.

    1. turn off wireless on a computer and a plug in the TC LAN ethernet port and do a speed test.

    This will tell us if the issue is routing/wan or wireless.

    2. If the wireless to test one... is only WAN or also local LAN... so to copy a file to a computer on the ethernet to a wireless computer and visa versa... how fast do you have? It must be half speed connection or close to him... that shows your computer's link speed?

  • 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.

  • Connection of slow internet speed of Time capsule

    I have a time Capsule airport of 5th generation 2 TB (802.11 AC) and a modem TP - LINK TD - 8816 ADSL2 (bridged) connected to the TC. In recent weeks, a very slow internet connection has been detected (get the go-ahead in TC and airport utility)

    Of course, I started by judging my ISP but then realizes that configuration back to the modem for PPPoE over Ethernet, the connection achieved expected quotient of internet speed.

    I have reset the TC back to the default settings (to erase all of the current settings) and set it up again with the new and cool settings. Same results.

    For the record: I have experienced same speed slow results at the TC test by wireless or ethernet connections.

    Airport Time Capsule is running 7.7.3

    MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end 2013) OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

    I came back to use the modem router Zyxel provided by my ISP with internet high speed optimal but misses my TC!

    Thanks in advance for your support.

    I'm in the same boat... There is something seriously wrong with the TC in PPPOE mode. And nothing you can do that on it. Apple has all the controls available in the outside world.

    I got around it by using a modem router or other router between modem bridged and TC.

    In the end I put the TC in static IP mode, and it worked very well with another router.

  • Is Time Capsule Capable of managing 1000mbps speeds?

    I need to know if my Time Capsule can be used as a wifi with 1000 Mbps speeds incoming router. Some people in the neighborhood have bought high range routers that are able to put nearly 1,000 Mbit/s, and I want to know if my Time Capsule will be up to the task, or if I should start looking for a new router. Thank you!

    The answer depends on how you have set up on your network time Capsule.

    If the Capsule is the "primary" router providing DHCP and NAT services for your network, the Wan on the flow of the LAN on the Time Capsule will be limited to 400-500 Mbps on average. Ditto for the wireless.

    If you use another device on your network that behaves like a router, it can deliver 1 000 Mbit/s to the Capsule and the time Capsule is set up as a 'bridge' for the network, Time Capsule will probably provide nearly 1 000 Mbit/s speeds.

  • Time Capsule freezes when I'm downloading a large file!

    Hello everyone!

    I have a very unpleasant problem with my Apple Time Capsule 2 TB 5th generation.

    I have 2 Iphones, AppleTV and 2 Macs in my wifi network, everything works great! But when I download a large file with an Internet torrent falls after 10-15 minutes... a green LED shine on the Time Capsule, Airport utility tells that is connected to the internet, but not of my devices has the internet connection. It lasts 15 to 20 minutes and internet recovers by itself. Nothing really helps with this, I tried to restart, change the settings, but nothing helped.

    WITNESS, no errors, once again, green is connected to the internet but no internet.

    My cable modem works, if I connect my appleTV to the modem cable through the cable, it will be the connection. At the same time, if I connect my appleTV to the Capsule of time via the cable when it is frozen, appleTV won't have any connection.

    The same story if I download to the hard drive of my Mac or time Capsule.

    I have an idea that Time Capsule is overheating, but again, I don't see no error.

    I'd appreciate any help!

    Torrents can overwhelm the NAT to a router table.

    In the torrent client reduce the speed and the number of seeds.

    Which modem cable do you have?

    Looks like it's a gateway device not a pure modem so the TC may be in evil mode?

    Also, who is your ISP?

    If they are moved to IPv6 which can also introduce issues.

  • Airport Apple Time Capsule vs Rogers Advanced WiFi Modem Configuration

    Between the use of the advanced WiFi modem from Rogers and airport Time Capsule from Apple - a better/more strong WiFi signal will offer?

    I'm under Apple Airport time Caro as my router now (with Rogers Advanced WiFi modem mode 'bridge').    However - my WiFi connection is weak/inconsistent even after adding 1 Airport Express to extend the network.    My Modem/router are connected with a 2 foot Cat6 my ground floor, with the Airport Express on the floor to extend the reach (via WiFi - not the ethernet connection).

    When I reset my router/modem, get full power - however, after a couple days I get slower speeds.

    Any ideas how to fix?  Users are finding you work better than the other?

    Between the use of the advanced WiFi modem from Rogers and airport Time Capsule from Apple - a better/more strong WiFi signal will offer?

    Turn on the Rogers modem in router mode and launch his wifi... Plug the TC and run it in bridge, but also launch wireless audio... There is absolutely NO reason not to use both... You will often find the 2.4 ghz superior to the airport the Rogers Wireless. Apple has deliberately reduced its speed... If you need set channels wireless manual... for example of Rogers on the TC on Channel 6 and channel 11.

    5 GHz has penetration and poor range, especially when you look at the wireless signal directly above or below any router... It is of course extremely beneficial to use ethernet between the floors... Run the Rogers down and move the TC on the floor... that gives you much better signal allows you to get the most out of two wireless routers.

    Extend (Repeater) wireless using the Express will condemn you slow wireless forever. Repeaters by their nature even halve the speed of the connection... and if you place the Express in a poor signal area... getting worse. Express should be located to midway between the two... no physical distance but the power of the signal... If it gets bad signal, it will give terrible results since its own signal will be strong for customers.

    Test it... give up the Express... run ethernet to the top of the stairs and just try it with the TC to the right place.

  • Should I buy the time Capsule

    Hi all!

    I currently have an Asus router ac68u from T Mobile. It worked well this year I got it, but with one problem. USB 3 external HARD disk configuration and the service is terrible. The firmware is crippled by T-Mobile and does not have some built-in functions that it should have. I really want to be able to use it with time machine for my MacBook pro and my IMac 27 at the same time. The problem is the speed of backups and fear to use it to view files on the internet. After days of reading and research, my first thought was to replace it with a time Capsule. I would tend to think that the installer would be much less of a headache and it would be much safer way for Mac on the normal FTP or Samba which offer other routers.

    After reading so many comments, I'm wondering 3 things:

    1. the age of the technology of the time Capsule.

    2. the speed and the autonomy of the time Capsule.

    3. Wifi calling under a load.

    The peak use, there will be 14 devices share the router. But the most common are scenarios, four 802.11ac devices using Skype, youtube and Netflix at the same time with a wired broadcast LAN 4 k video peripheral. And 2 readers of streaming HD video over 802.11n.

    It strained my Asus router, but it keeps her on. My service is cable 150mg and I get full 150mg less than 30 feet with a single connected device. The T Mobile router does a good job at wifi under full load calls. I guess it's because the QoS configuration they use.

    Then the time Capsule stand or perform at least as good as my AC68U using my home or should I be looking for a monster like the 3200 AC or an AC-5300 router and buy an external hard drive. I fear that the program installation and safety, but I don't want to lose money on the Time Capsule if it cannot follow.

    You can find the specifications at support.apple.com/specs/. Then select the time Capsule to find the specs on all models from the beginning. They were initially released in 2009.

    My preference would be an Airport Extreme Base Station with a connected backup USB drive. Probably just as good as the time Capsule but more reliable. Backup speed will be slightly faster than Ethernet.

    I don't have experience with the help of so many features at the same time, so I can't comment on this issue.

    The time Capsule and are all two AEBS Gigabit capable. Typical range is clearly brought 150 feet. Walls, windows, walls, ceilings and floors will reduce this range according to the material and the distances.

  • Time Capsule 802.11ac airport fan is always on

  • Can I use time capsule as external hard drive?

    Can I use time capsule as external hard drive so that I can access a file or a specific folder by searching for its name?

    A TC is now and for always player network... no external. So there are limits to its use.

    If you are multitasking your TC with Time Machine and then using a DMG file as a virtual drive is better than directly copy files... However sharing becomes impossible. One person at a time can open the DMG.

    See pondini. T3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

    Old but still interesting to read.

    You can certainly create a folder on the TC and copy your files on it, and then perform a search. Research is slow on wireless is so the speed of transfer of large files. With the help of ethernet is certainly encouraged to desktop computers.

    Sharing folders on the TC is also now more difficult with increasing security at El Capo and OS later. You do not create on the computer records are not available. And even the ones you create can occasionally and autonomous change permissions (since the TC controls drive not the computer), you lock your own files on... I answer these questions once a week.

    Not all software on Mac supports using network drives. The most difficult is photos that can corrupt the library due to disconnections... which are the most common wireless. Be warned backups are important and not easy to do because of the slowness of the USB port on the TC and you end up really need to another location on the network for backup on.

    Generally, I advise the people not not to use the TC for direct files... That is to say, if you edit a document, make sure that it is on a local drive... When you have finished the document, you can copy it to the network drive and delete the local version. Easy for... not so easy documents for photos with major libraries.

    A TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup impossible network drives... This means that no backup will be your files in the TC, unless you take the initiative and do it.

  • Time capsule backup dedicated

    I'll put up a new Mac Pro and want to use Time Capsule as a wired dedicated backup device.  On my Mac, I have a 1 TB internal drive will be used only for the application and software work areas.  I have a 4 TB external drive, where all my user files reside.  I want to hardwire connect Time Capsule to my Mac and use it only to back up the drive internal.  I have a separate drive of 8 TB I'll use a program like ChronoSync to back up my drive of the 4 TB user.  I use one of the Ethernet ports on my Mac to connect to my home network.  I have an Ethernet port open on my Mac.  Can I use the Ethernet Mac port available and connect Time Capsule for the Mac as a dedicated backup device?

    The Capsule connects to your modem or modem router using a wired Ethernet cable connection. Connect the modem into the "O" on the Time Capsule WAN port and configure time Capsule to create a wireless network.

    If you don't need wireless, it can be turned off once the time Capsule has been implemented to work with your modem or router/modem.

    Your Mac can then go back to Ethernet connection time Capsule cable from the Mac to one of the three ports LAN <>- on the back of the time Capsule.  Don't forget to turn off the radio on the Mac to make sure that the backup will take place via the Ethernet connection.

  • 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.
  • 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?

  • Apple Time Capsule "unexpected error".

    I did have slow speeds on my network lately and checked with Comcast to see if it was their end. They assured me that it wasn't, so I decided to do a reset on my router from Apple and see if that helped. I did a full factory reset with plans to start over. Now however I am not able to configure my Airport.

    I tried on my iPhone, iPad and Mac. All devices are completely up-to-date. IPad and iPhone, I can only find the configuration in the menu wifi, airport did not appear to me in the iOS version of airport road. On Mac, I find the time Capsule Airport Airport utility (under "other Wifi devices") and can scroll through the complete Assembly (name, password, etc.), but when it happens at the end it begins "Looking for"(insert network name)"" and times out after 4 minutes with "unexpected error. Please Try Again ".

    The strange thing is before I try to configure the router I can see in my WiFi menu and I am able to use the internet very well, but it is not guaranteed and not configured.

    I have tried what seems like all combinations of the implementation without success. Time Capsule airport had a recent firmware update probably two months ago. Not sure if this affects what it is.

    Search for answers until I try to buy a new router. But it doesn't seem like the Time Capsule is broken, just something odd current. I already used this same configuration for more than 9 months with little or no question. I feel like I tried something! Would like answers. He likes guys.

    Example of installation.

    When everything has failed, you can configure the Capsule manually without having to use configuration of 'sorcerer' Apple...... but the process can be a bit complicated.

    Need to connect your MacBook Pro to the time Capsule using an Ethernet cable for installation. If your MacBook Pro doesn't have an Ethernet port, you will need to use an adapter Thunderbolt to Ethernet... one point really handy to have around, if you have not already. More info here:

    Maid in Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple

    Please advise on the possibility of trying to use Ethernet for configuration... and whether or not you are able to use this option.  No guarantee that it will work for you, but it has worked for me several times during the normal installation translates into repeated errors.
