Time Capsule router problems

Recently, my wireless network has had problems. He became more and more slow. My devices connect without problems and the signal is full but it takes significantly more time to do something about it. My iMac doesn't seem to have problems but are my other devices (phone, Tablet, PS3, PS4). Netflix is essentially very bad because it keeps buffering every 30 seconds and I have to run PS4 upgrades must run all night because they take 8 + hours to download. I had questions about 5-6 months, which I was able to correct by closing all the way down, 20 minute wait and then turn the modem, the router, and then the computer. I tried again twice, but he don't seem to have any effect.

My modem is a Motorola Surfboard SB6141.

My router is a time capsule, model A1409.

iMac is a model 27 inch late 2009 10.10.5 running.

The capsule is connected directly to the modem via Ethernet. All other devices are connected to the wireless network. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Something directly connect to the modem by ethernet. And do a test to see if download and shipping limits are together and working properly.

You must turn off the modem at each change of customer... 5 minutes is probably enough, but this can take up to 15 minutes.

If you have good speed then when you put the back... TC test via ethernet to TB... once again, you should get almost the same download and upload speeds as the test to the direct modem.

Now, test your wireless... you say that the iMac has no problem... so please give us the numbers... It is difficult to work from vague descriptions...

Then, I need to know the connection speeds and all possible information. Run diagnostics on the computer wireless.

You should also do a factory reset full of the TC and reconfigure it as follows.

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.

Time Capsule airport problems

I have several questions, setting up a home network, but I want to start with the problems I have with the time Capsule.

Until 2 days ago, the time Capsule was working fine. My setup is the ISP router connected to the Capsule of time and the Time Capsule hard connections on a USB for extra storage and ethernet to an iMac. Also several peripherals wifi like the pads and phones. No problems.

This past weekend, I started to set up a home network by adding an ethernet (TP Link TL SG108E) switch to one of the ports ethernet on the Time Capsule. Of the switch, I have then several ports around the House (recently redone to include an Ethernet cat. 5) connected now to two Apple TV and a security system at home. No other device is currently connected to the ports and all connected devices work without any problem.

The time capsule. In the past 24 hours, the time Capsule disappeared from Airport utility. I can see the wireless signal and connect to it. I use the time for constant Time Machine backups Capsule and continue without any problem. I can see the Capsule in the Finder, can connect you and the USB that I have connected to the time Capsule, but no time Capsule in the utility.

My future plan must use two of the ports around the House with Airport Express devices to expand the WIFI, but as I can't see Time Capsule in the utility and I can't install Express devices. However I tried to put in place one of the Airport Express devices and the process has begun to extend the Time Capsule network, but then I got a message "unexpected error". So, first thing first, problem of Time Capsule.

Any ideas?

Let's first, as you note.

Your message did not mention if you had done a full Cycle of power network. If you have not already done so, it would be a good fundamental mission of troubleshooting to be performed, because he will give everything a new departure and will often solve a problem similar to what you experience. To do this...
- Power off all the devices on your network... modem, computers, printers, accessories, mobile devices, etc. in any order you want.
- Wait a few seconds
- Turn on the modem and let it run only for 2 to 3 minutes or more if you want
- Then, switch on the device connected to the modem and leaves turn a good minute
- Keep power devices one at a time about a minute out until the entire network is back
- Check the network

Unable to connect to a Time Capsule - router Apple´s

I bought a Time Capsule (Apple´s built-in wifi router and hard drive). My Vista laptop can connect to the network, but it can't get internet access or disk access network hard. I have a mix of different devices connected to the router without a problem, only the Vista PC gives me a hard time. The laptop is 18 months, HP with Vista and SP1.

If I leave the network open (without encryption) PC Vista connects very well - both internet and hard drive. I tried to configure the network with different encryption, WPA2, WPA, WEP, etc.. The only thing that works is without encryption, which is obviously not a solution. If I wire the network connection, the Vista computer works also very well, but that no solution for me.

In various Apple forum, this problem is known and discussed, but that no one could come up with a solution, so I hope that a post here can help me, so I can raise my last computer on my network.

Hello

Many Apple and Vista/Win7 routers have this problem. Two things you can try is updating the firmware of the
the router and update your network (NETWORK and WiFi card) drivers on the computer.

Good luck. Rob - bicycle - Mark Twain said it is good.

Time capsule - connection problem

between my IMac and time capsule ethernet cable does not connect. Airport utility cannot find the time capsule. I tried another cable - also unsuccessful. Any suggestions to fix the problem? He had worked so well until I had to unplug from the time capsule.

Hi midonn,

First thing, I would recommend checking your TimeCapsule answers correctly, it might be a good idea to take a look at the option of soft reset to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201945

What changed recently since the last, it worked? To install new software on your Mac?

Time Capsule - devices do not connect

I have a Time Capsule router. I had problems with the devices does not connect to the internet. Restart the previous device will connect then another will not. I have ~ 20 devices on my wireless network. I replaced my DSL modem but the problem persists.

Any time that you change your network hardware, it's always a good idea to perform a complete recycling of your network equipment power. Check out the following Tip of an airport users for more details on how to do it. Please post back your results.

Cannot access Time Capsule and MacBook Pro on Windows task force immediately after upgrade to Vista professional professional 7

I had a Windows workgroup for years, linking the PC and Mac, but also a Linkstation network through a Time Capsule router/Hard Drive Combo. Immediately after the upgrade from professional Vista to 7 Professional on my Sony Vaio VGN-Z750D, I can see the Time Capsule and MacBook but cannot access it. I am able to access the Linkstation - system wonder a user name and password, and I have immediate access. However, the system does not n = me a username and password when I try to access the two Apple products.

Interestingly, I can access the Vaio MacBook, in providint the username and password for the Vaio.

Please notify. Thank you.

IT FIXED! Found the answer on the W7 Forum

Access to Mac OS X Windows sharing Windows 7
Windows 7 will not work with the Mac OS X Windows support for default share file. If you try to access a shared folder on Mac OS X, W7 will display a logon error repeatedly.
The problem is that W7, by default, will only use NTLMv2 for authentication, which is not supported by the service of sharing of Windows of Mac OS x.
The other problem is that safety minimum Session for NTVLM SSP based Clients.
To work around this problem:
1. in W7, open the control panel
3. double-click on Administrative Tools
4 double click on local security policy
5 expand "Local policies" and select "Security Options".
6. locate "network security: LAN Manager Authentication Level" in the list and double-click it.
7. change the setting of "NTMLv2 only send responses" to"send LM and NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if negotiated"
8. network Security: minimum session for the NTLM SSP (including secure RPC) Clients security
9. change the setting of "128-bit" unchecked (No Minimum)
10. click on OK

Airport Time Capsule device not found

I have the time Capsule on the airport of the TB 3 802.11ac (bought 9/2014). It integrates the latest version of the 7.7.7. Just last week, I received the error device not found (.. .has been previously a part of your network... etc.). The internet connection is always good and the component of the time capsule router still works. When I unplug the device, it can find him but eventually will go down in a few minutes. I also did a warm reboot, but some results. Printer connected to the time capsule does not, nor does Time Machine back ups.

Would be grateful of any advice on why the drive not found error continues to occur. Thank you!

You have Back to My Mac enabled on the Time Capsule?

If so, turn it off for the moment in the AirPort Utility and restart the time Capsule.

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

Connected to but the Airport utility does not see the time capsules

Hi, I have several time capsules.

I can connect to the web, but the airport utility does not see the time capsules. I tried to restart the time capsules, router, computer, but I still don't see any of the devices on the network.

What now?

Have you tried the airport utility in the iOS version... Download on the App or iTunes store and load... Works better than the Mac version.

Other than what Mac running what OS do you use?

This modem you have and how is the installation of TC on the network.

Time capsule 2 TB (bought 2014) no longer works

Capsule of time worked when installed first with my previous Mac 14 months ago. I have not "used" it the last months (if connected permanently to electricity). Tried to connect with my new Mac yesterday, but failed miserably:

No light (front or rear), no possible connection Mac (device not detected through the airport program), but when it is plugged in, seems that the HARD drive is running (device is not "dead", but creating light mounted sound). Serial number C86MQ1R7F9H5. I read that previous time capsules have problems with power plug - it is still a problem?

Just ran out of warranty 1 year 2,5 months ago bought a new MAC in 02/2015. Call Apple technical support did not help.

Thanks for any help how fix/do!

Just ran out of warranty 1 year 2,5 months ago bought a new MAC in 02/2015. Call Apple technical support did not help.

Buy applecare for your Mac. so, who will cover the TC as well.

Or it may be cheaper to buy an Apple TV (gen3) and buy apple for this care.

Do not open the ATV... introduce the TC for repair under the applecare program, which covers airports for up to 2 years prior to purchase.
- (3) airport must be purchased up to two years before your purchase of Apple TV or during the term of your AppleCare Protection Plan coverage.
- Buy the AppleCare Protection Plan for up to two years of expert telephone technical support and hardware from Apple service options. For more information, click here.
Once this is accepted to get a refund for the Apple TV...

I was told that it is dishonest... but sorry, that's exactly what apple... just because we can not buy applecare on devices. And you will have paid for applecare... which is not recovered...

Check if they have stopped this loophole available as long as you want with the Apple store people.

Be polite but affirmed your rights as a consumer.

In most of the countries now a 1 year guarantee for a device that will last 3 years and fails to 14 is considered covered without having to go through this process... Any EU country will have consumer protection laws. Even the Australia we now have the legal warranty of 2 years.

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.

Having WiFi problems could be Time Capsule

I have an Arris 6190 modum, but I have the old model of the time Capsule that I use for my main router as well as two airports hard apple wired connected. Comcast came out, and they suggested that the old time Capsule could be the problem. Have not disappeared even though the storage on the older, therefore hoped not to buy a new. Someone at - it experience with this? Would also need to buy new airports as well? Thank you.

What exact model is your 'old' Time Capsule?

However, you should be aware that there are several posts here in communities of Apple support about Arris/Motorola SB61XX-series modems with 802.11n base stations or 802.11ac airport. This is not bad in itself, but they do not seem to 'play nice' together. The most common symptoms reported are slow data transfer rates and inconsistent Internet connectivity.

If this is the case for you, the basic option is to replace one or the other. Depending on how old your Time Capsule is, it may be due for a replacement.
