• What is the best way to connect a time capsule from the airport to an existing dsl router?

  I have a Netgear D6300 router with built-in ADSL modem and I'm getting a time capsule from the airport. I thought to put the D6300 in Bridge mode and connect the TC via a ethernet cable but my netgear router is kept in a metal TV armoire or I asked myself if I put on the floor and used to extend my existing wireless which is a little spotty on the floor, but I didn't know if the connection on the hard drive would be too slow. However I read in another post is no longer that apple supports the extension of networks of "no apple"?

  The time Capsule will connect to the Netgear router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent... no matter how you decide to configure things.

  Regarding the location, Time Capsule can be located just about anywhere that it will allow an Ethernet connection. If you want to time Capsule to "extend" the wireless Netgear, and then configure the time Capsule to create a new wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password than the Netgear router. The result will be a network of 'big '.

  Should be a lot more work, but assuming that the Netgear gateway can be configured to work as only a simple modem, the Capsule can be configured as the primary network router.

• How to set my time capsule from apple for my external hard drive backup?

  I installed a Time Capsule from Apple on my network.  It seems to work very well.  I need to use it to back up my external drive (if possible)

  Can someone give me directions?

  Thank you

  Jean S

  If you use Time Machine, open the system preferences pane, click Options, and remove the external drive from the exclusion list. It is not possible for all formats of volume.

  If you use a different backup product, see its documentation.

• Can I use time capsule from Apple and an external hard drive that is connected to my Mac at the same time to save?

  I have an external hard drive (1 TB ADATA HV620) and a time capsule of Apple 2009. So far I have used the external drive-DATA to back up regularly on my Mac, but it uses one of my USB slots. I would like to start using the time capsule from Apple to everything back up, as it does so wireless, but I still want to be able to back up by using the ADATA hard drive occasionally. Is it possible to use two devices to back up or can I use only one device? Thank you.

  You can use the two devices, but Time Machine... If that's what you use to back up... can back up only to a disc at a time. So if you set up Time Machine to back up on both discs, it will support drive until one first, then the other after the first drive of the backup is complete.

• I have the network wireless with an extreme airport using my base station that dessert 4 Airport expresses. I want to replace the base station with a time capsule from apple.  Are there specific instructions other that connect the new time capsule

  I have a wired to the internet using my base station for 4 expresses the hard extreme airport.  I want to replace the base station with a time capsule.

  It is also easy to replace the existing base station and adding the name of the network and the password?

  You should be able to transfer your configuration of your current access point to new, and then you would just set up the internal drive, try to look at these articles:

• Problem of Time Capsule Roaming Network airport

  I'm having a problem by establishing a network of roaming.  When I plug my extender devices in ethernet cables through a switch to my Time Capsule base station, my wifi signal drops 150 + MBS next to the base station to < 10 mbs.

  I have a wifi in my home network based on a new time Capsule airport base station (ATCBS) running firmware c. 7.7.7.  I have my 4th gen AEBS & a 2nd gen Airport express both race v. 7.6.7 updated firmware in place in Bridge mode to extend my network in different rooms in my house. The system works very well, but I wanted to increase the power of the signal in remote places so decided I would like to convert it to a mobile network by installing ethernet cables to connect my ATCBS the AEBS and express extensions.  I use a switch Netgear 5 port (NOT of GS205-100) that I only have a single LAN fanless available left port on my ATCBS.

  I installed 3 ethernet lines-1 each in rooms with my ATCBS and airport express using mounting wall punch down taken using the convention of wiring 568B, AEBS.  These lines all end with male plugs in a unique space in the basement and are also wired as 568B.  Then I plug the ATCBS, AEBS and express lines in the switch in this remote area.

  I've done a few connection cables in the role of Cat 6 cable, I had over the House, and they all very well with my cable Tester check so I know the cable itself is not defective.  The cables all run in the basement where I can see, so I know there is not any problem to be crimped/damaged.  I have not any gear to test the installed well son.  I visually inspected the male and female (punchdown) ends to ensure that colors are properly prepared.  I did a test of my jacks punchdown conductivity by testing 8 wires on the sides of the socket and the pins in gold on the inside where an ethernet cable connecting between the cut ends.  All wires are correctly leads to the appropriate pins.

  If I plug just the ATCBS into the switch next to him and using a good patch cable I see no change in the strength of the Wifi.  If I can plug my express (also moved to the room of the base station) using another cable good patch in the switch, wifi drops as described above.  If I plug the ATCBS on the new socket and the switch at the other end - no change in force wifi.  If I plug the express in its remote location system also uses the new ethernet cable installed for him and passing through the switch, I get the wifi signal reduction.  I get the same result if I take the express up to thevbasemenbt and plulg the switch with a connecting cable).  It seems therefore that the problem may not be with the newly installed cables that I get the same result by using or by using cables good patch, and with the switch in the same room with the ACTBS.  It doesn't matter how I'm trying to connect all the devices together, plug extender devices into the system brings the WiFi falling to almost nothing.

  Any ideas on what could happen?

  I'm having a problem by establishing a network of roaming.  When I plug my extender devices in ethernet cables through a switch to my Time Capsule base station, my wifi signal drops 150 + MBS next to the base station to < 10 mbs.

  That's what happens when you initially set up the device to the airport "extend" using a wireless signal... and then later connect an Ethernet cable to the unit of the airport.

  Since the airport is configured to connect wireless and waiting for a wireless connection, the Ethernet connection and then creates a feedback loop massive on the entire network... in fact, basically crashed the network.

  Basically, you have to start over again with the AEBS and AirPort Express and "Apple Installation Wizard" to set things upward. It's practically automatic. All you need to do is assign a device name to each airport and the wizard supports all the rest.

  After the back if you need some advice on how to correctly configure things.  You can be amazed at how simple, it comes... and surprised by the wizard settings apply.

• Time capsule works bur airport utility cannot find it

  Hello world

  I have a weird problem with my Time Capsule (2 TB) 2015

  I have the TC connected by ethernet to a modem, and it is plugged into my mac mini (cable as well)

  The TC works very well, it is accessible from the Finder, Time Machine works fine and all my devices can browse the internet via the TC wifi network.

  Airport utility, that the TC is shown as connected with a green dot, however when I try to access the settings of TC, that the system requires a password and when I entered it nothing happens. If I click on the TC once again, I get a requirement pw again. Once I do this once or twice, the TC greys out on airport utility and I get the message "device not found" with the yellow triangle.

  Despite this, the TC is always accessible from the Finder, the wifi works and Time machine is ok.

  Tries to access the site of the iPad or the iPhone displays the same behavior, the utility will continue to ask for a password and it won't let me.

  I did a reset of the TC by pressing the reset button and it worked fine for 24 hours, after which the above problem happened again.

  So I did another reset and even once, he worked for a while, but now I'm at square one.

  Is that what is anyone able to help?

  Thank you

  AirPort Utility is based on both the mDNS (aka, Hello) and IPv6 IP protocols to find an AirPort base station.

  When access to the airport through the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order, accessibility with the utility check after each step:

  • Check the local connection. If you try to access the airport wireless, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
  • Make sure that the base station and your computer are configured for IPv6 link-local only.
    • For a Mac: System preferences > network > Wi - Fi or Ethernet > advanced > TCP/IP tab > configure IPv6: link-local only
    • For the AirPort Base Station:
      • From a Mac: AirPort Utility > select the base station > change > Internet tab > Internet Options... > configure IPv6: link-local only
      • Since an iOS device: AirPort Utility > tap the base station > press Edit > tap Advanced > tap on IPv6 > change configure IPv6 to: link-local only > Tap actually
  • The base station power cycle. Remove the power branch of the socket adapter and then wait 15 seconds before plugging back in.
  • Perform a ' default ' reset on the base station.

• Problems of ' 09 Time Capsule to the Airport Extreme upgrade

  I with success the setup a new Airport Extreme (AE) and I want to continue to use my Time Capsule (TC) 2009 as a backup drive. However, I have questions. What is the right way to implement these devices to play nice?

  I have currently the modem ethernet fall on the AE WAN ethernet. Then I have another ethernet cable connecting the AE LAN ethernet in the TC WAN.

  In addition, I have the TC Network Mode as 'OFF' and his router Mode as 'Off (Bridge Mode).

  Is everything is OK?

  All correct so far.  Also check the Internet tab to ensure that the TC is to connect using DHCP = AirPort Utility.

• 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 °

• 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...

• My old Airport Extreme 802.11n will work well with my new Time Capsule 802.11ac airport?

  I got a new 802.11ac 3 TB time capsule and I would use my Airport Extreme 802.11n as an Extender but I fear that 802.11n is too old technology.

  No, it will be fine. I have the same setup on my network. Whenever I update my AirPort Extreme, I use the 'old' to expand the network throughout the House.

  I hope that answers your question.

• 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.

• HH5 BT + Time Capsule from Apple

  Really hoping someone can help with what it drives me crazy!

  First of all of background... I got broadband to Plusnet inheriting from their router "technicolor" with my TC attached via a fiber cable. Home network proceeded without the TC wire, sky + worked perfectly (wired and wireless) to transport CANADA, the Mac Mini worked perfectly (wired and wireless) of transport CANADA and the MacBook Air, iPhones and iPads everything has worked perfectly to TC. TC has saved Mac Mini and MacBook Air via Time Machine. This worked perfectly for years, since the establishment. Then...

  Seduced by a lot of BT and Plusnet (rare) indifference I changed to BT infinity earlier this year and became the proud owner (?) of their "state of the art" HomeHub 5. Think about what I had to do was swap HH5 and router Technicolor more naïve in the extreme! I searched online and found many people with similar questions and have tried all of the solutions proposed, but I still can't get everything working properly. BT don't/can't help that HH5 works and TC has "nowt don't we! So where am I at?

  Using only HH5, everything works perfectly. Once I introduce TC everything can work perfectly for about 15 minutes then I lose the internet connection. All being wired to the Mini, the TC "is unavailable" for Time Machine. I've tried honestly each piece of advice there re order of connections, resets, mode bridge etc but I'm so frustrated by all this. What I want to return to East TC providing the wireless network for home and backups of TM TC the Mini (cable) and Air (wireless). If I can't then I'll reluctantly settle for HH5 providing wi - fi and TC offering only backup functions.

  On the Mini and Air, I'm under 10.11.6 and I updated the firmware of TC.

  Can someone please help me with this? Thank you.

  Think about what I had to do was swap HH5 and router Technicolor more naïve in the extreme! I searched online and found many people with similar questions and have tried all of the solutions proposed, but I still can't get everything working properly.

  Unfortunately, if you have tried all the suggested solutions, as you well note... (we do not know what were these)... it is unlikely that we will be able to offer something new.

  But just in case... because we do not want to ask you to repeat things you already have... could you provide a list of the things you have already tried?

  Sometimes... even though the HH5. is a good modem/router and the TC is a good router so... products do not work well together. This could be the case here.

  After all, when things work well and you make a change on your network, and then things don't work correctly... ask yourself ' what has changed?  I think you know the answer.

• Failure of the airport Time Capsule?

  I have a Time Capsule from Apple Airport – 2 TB (ME177LL/A). Today, I was unable to access the drive in the finder for the first time. The airport icon does not appear in airport utility. More than a month, no real change in my machine, no new installed apps, I've upgraded to El Capitan. I did some research on Google and found the only real option for me (after a power power off to the airport and my machine) is to reset the router to factory settings which I seem to have done. In addition to killing the wifi (which was still working before reboot), the Airport now appears under the button "other Wi - Fi devices (1). But whenever I select which and it attempts to connect (so I can probably do a manual installation) it fails and merely says that an unexpected error has occurred. I don't know if I lost all my files on the disk, since this seems to be a failure any which allows to treat the router itself. He was still working as a bridge providing internet and Wi - Fi before the reset, now it only provides internet for everything that it is hooked up via ethernet.

  I had some of my gripes with this product over the years, but the lack of diagnostic information is now slightly irritating. Is there something else for me to do a short delivery to another zero?

  First of all... no files will be lost on the hard drive... for this, TC would fail to start or have a disk failure error...

  Your questions are totally El Capo... and pretty typical.

  Why should he choose now occur instead of a month ago... done installing part of the pleasure of the wireless network adapter... It's frightfully little reliable.

  I want you to do it again... Yes I know.. Sorry...

  Disconnect the TC of the network and plug in ethernet on the computer... However leave the radio on... Apple depends on increasingly less reliable network strategy.

  Do a complete factory reset.

  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.

  N.b.: any of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted... This erases just the settings of the router of the TC.

  Go in the wireless and ethernet on the computer and make sure you have IPv6 well positioned to post a local link only. for example...

  

  It is set to automatic might be the reason why you have problems... one day he autoed to bad settings... Auto is a plan for a disaster.

  Now, try and open the configuration of TC in airport utility... No luck... do it manually...

  Accept this self... is always a bad idea... so here go us.

  1. click on file and set up the other.

  

  2. Enter the IP... always 10.0.1.1 after a reset. No password necessary yet.

  

  3. now you can see all parts of the installation... you will go to each tab to make configuration.

  

  4. in the first place is the Base Station... and change the name... in short, no spaces and highly recommended pure alphanumeric characters.

  Ditto for passwords. Internet will be DHCP for most people having nothing else... then wireless

  

  Then the network... Choose what you want yourself... you are now in control.

  For most people, they will be set to DHCP and NAT or Off (Bridge Mode)

  

  5. Once you have finished making changes... update allows to configure them for the TC... and wait until it restarts...

  If all is good it will come back on the main use.

  

  If it still errors just click on TC icon and go back into the setup and fix anything there.

  Any step fails to tell me that that...

  You may need to switch to ethernet, if you have any problems, if.

  In airport utility now ethernet is under other devices Wi - Fi... that makes no sense at all. Ethernet will only appear when it is connected and working.
