Time Capsule - unstable internet connection

Using of a new airport Time Capsule and a detail Comcast modem my internet connection is intermittent.

The display above goes green and then red in no obvious pattern.

I don't know what to do now. In time, I started this response network screen Diagnostics went all green again. But it won't last.

I tried the usual reset of the modem and TC. The problem affects my ethernet connected iMac and MBP of my wife.

Any ideas?

Re: Time Capsule - unstable internet connection

Vice versa...

What model is your TC? If it is earlier than later to get the A1xxx of the base number... If it's the AC model just to say... Version of ca. No number is given which is really poor.

What model is your comcast modem? Real brand and model base please.

More important if the comcast is actually a router... That is to say, it has more than one ethernet port. We need to know, it is actually running in Bridge mode or a router... screenshots of TC installing airport utility is more useful than the Network Diagnostics. TBH I'm surprised you even found network Diags El CAPO as they hide it very well.

Please give me all with summary... as above... nothing will reduce your security. Try it with mine... even if you have a public on the WAN port IP address, it changes every time that you restart the modem... so this process, we can easily have all the details you give... unless you know the serial number of my TC... What's that serves... None...!

NOTE... If you have a simple modem Arris begins with SB eg SB6121 SB6141 as well as other models and version AC TC... they have well known problems... Apple has not breathed a Word... but there are a lot of posts here on the problem... and it is high time that Apple fix it... because it affects no other routers... just of airports in apple...!

  • process step by step new airport express from apple with time capsule base of connection (cable cat 5 150 Ft) with late 2008 macbook

    I would like a step by step process apple a new airport express with time capsule base of connection (cable cat 5 150 Ft) with late 2008 macbook.

    Connect one end of the long Ethernet cable (we assume that you have already tested the cable to make sure it works correctly) one of the three ports LAN <>- on the Time Capsule to the WAN port on the AirPort Express "O".

    We assume that the AirPort Express is new, is powered OFF... and has not been previously configured.

    Turning off the Time Capsule

    Wait a few seconds

    Put in the Time Capsule market and let it run a full minute

    Power of the AirPort Express and run a full minute. Currently, the indicator light of the Express slowly flashing orange

    On the MacBook, click the WiFi status menu icon and search for a list of the new AirPort access point

    Just below this list, click on AirPort Express

    Who will get the "Assistant" operational configuration. It will take a few seconds for the wizard to analyze the network and offer the correct setting in a display that will look like the example below, except that you can see your cameras and the name of your wireless network.

    In short simple name you want to call the AirPort Expressof type... .as OfficeExpress, for example

    Click Next

    Watch the next screen carefully to confirm that the AirPort Express is in place to extend using Ethernet, which confirms that the installation wizard recovers the wired between the Time Capsule and AirPort ExpressEthernet cable connection, so the settings correct configuration will apply.

    When you see the message Setup is complete, click done. Close the installation window, and you're done.

  • Time capsule does not connect to the Internet! Help!

    I bought my own personal modem (surfboard SB6121) and activated with Comcast. I connect to my modem via an Ethernet cable and it works perfectly. But when I connect the modem to time capsule, I can't connect to the internet. I have already restored it and still nothing. The light blinks orange and 2 notification messages I get are no internet connection and no DNS server.

    anything else I can do?

    Apple routers have known problems with some modems... which you have chosen the second worst... SB6141 is most noted as problematic, followed closely by SB6121.

    The question is the more remarkable with the airports of model AC... If TC or AE.

    The perhaps impossible question of fixing...

    First of all turned off, looks that you can not be Exchange to the customer or to the router modem correctly.

    When swap you from a computer directly connected to the TC you MUST turn off the modem for about 15-20 min... you do this?

    Otherwise, it's what it takes...

    If you have already done this... Sorry it is simply the question of compatibility and will not work.

    Are you IPv6 zone you define IPv6 properly...

  • Intermittently, Time Capsule does not connect to the cable Modem

    Capsule time bought a few weeks ago.  Barely implemented.  TC does not recognize the cable modem.  These forums to get help.  Tracking the specific set of sequence with long delays between the steps and the modem and the TC.  It worked for about a month.  Now about once a day the TC works but not internet wireless or ethernet through the CT.  If I unplug the TC and let it restart and initialize internet connection returns.  During the internet cuts I have ethernet and Wi - Fi at transport CANADA, printers, and drives on the network as well as the time Capsule backup drive and your data.  If I ever lose ethernet and Wi - Fi to TB.  In addition, the modem works fine.  If I cut the TC and to the cable modem ethernet connection I have access to the internet.

    Thank you.  All were huge last time assistance.

    If it's always the same modem... a SB6141 of Arris... There have been a number of reports of trouble with this product with Apple routers. There is no mention that in your first post a month ago, because we wanted to see if a reset of the good modem would get things works well for you.  I had the same experience as with the same exact modem you have.

    The SB6141 is a good product, and the time Capsule is as well. But for some users, these two products do not work as well together. If you call people to support for modem, they show sure to like the question time Capsule. If you call Apple, they will have a different view on things. The bottom line when you go to a support group... because it of always the other guy that you are having problems.

    At this point, the only real solution would be to decide if you want to try another brand and model of modem and keep the time Capsule, or keep the modem and try another brand of router and then connect the Capsule to the router.

    In my case, I replaced the SB6141 (I tried 3 different SB6141s previously because the ISP admitted having difficulties with this modem and some routers) with a 5341J Zoom, and did not have a single falling Internet connection since I installed the Zoom for more than a year. If your Internet service provider indicates that the Zoom is a product that is compatible with their service, you might want to try this modem.

    But unfortunately, there is no assurance that the "solution" that has worked for me will be the solution that suits you. Such is the nature of the beast, when you work with products from two different suppliers.

  • Time Capsule do not connect and save

    Had some problems with my Macbook Pro had to take it to apple and they ended up replacing my hardrive as he could not.

    Since coming home ive tried to make a back up on time capsule and when I try to choose drive to back up with I get a message that says...

    "There was a problem connecting to server airport capsule.

    No idea what this means and how I can fix this please thanks in advance

    If apple has replaced the hard drive... also has recover all your files from the old hard drive?

    They did actually image the reader or they migrate user files and apps?

    You are on the same BONE as before?

    The problem is not knowing what precedes, I can't really advise correctly... I don't want you to clear your existing backup... nor do I want allows you to copy over the top of it.

    The TC must be reset to the factory... no files are lost to do... then I recommend that to start a new backup. If there is not enough space on the TC I recommend that you check the existing backup... Wipe the TC and try again. A fresh clean backup is really important... as well as to preserve the existing a fi there is everything you need him.

  • New airport Time Capsule is not connect to Airport Express more.

    When I just upgraded my Airport Extreme for a time Capsule of the airport, I lost my connection to the Airport Express connected to my stereo to allow playback Airtunes wireless. Airport utility is really different and shows that the new ATC.

    Help?

    Ok. It seems that my Express and my old extreme are no longer supported by Apple? Come on guys! I tried the Airport utility download stuff to my phone, but that did not work. Alternative workaround so I did not in the trash with a value of $400 of perfectly functional base stations? I just want to have Airplay again. GRRRR.

  • Why did I lose several times my wireless internet connection

    Why do I often lose my wireless internet and suffer from lower resistance signals on one of my laptops while I have no problem with my laptop, the old people? It started to happen after aol session help to restore the wireless also reconfigured my internet factory setting feature to Windows 7.

  • iMac causes the connection to Time Capsule Internet to lock up

    Whenever my iMac wakes up and connects to my Time Capsule via a Wi - fi, internet connection the TC freezes immediately for all connected devices, including the iMac.  I first noticed the issue on the iMac where internet was not accessible through any application on the system.  Then I went to my MacBook Pro, I found the same problem from happening.  Even on my iPhone and iPad.  I assumed it was an ISP issue and abandoned.

    A few hours later, I went back to my MBP and found the internet connection has been re-established and working properly.  I then went back and woke to my iMac and open Safari.  The field of the internet to a halt.  Back on my MBP connection was suspended again.  Now I think that my iMac was the problem, I turned off wifi on the iMac, and the page that I tried to load it on my MBP immediately came.

    Then I tried don't start the iMac in Mode safe mode to see if I could eliminate the problem... no chance.  Even in safe mode, when it is connected to on the wifi time capsule, the internet connection for the entire House grinds to stop.

    So, to summarize, when my iMac is awake and connected to my Time Capsule via wifi, internet connection for all devices connected to this wifi network hangs up completely.  The moment I turn off wifi on the iMac, the internet connection is restored immediately at full speed for all other devices on the network.

    I'm at a total loss about what to do next... any ideas?

    Please start the iMac in recovery mode. To connect to the network. The same thing happens?

  • Use WAN connected airport Time Capsule as a wireless access point

    I had to replace a failed 4 Gen Time Capsule. I tried to install a new Gen 5 airport TimeCapsule via WAN and set up the airport to act as a wireless access point. It is installed in an area of my house with wireless coverage. In the network of AirPort Utility Mode section, I chose "extend a wireless network. The TC is restarted, I get an error message cannot find the intended wireless network.

    What I lack?

    "Extend a wireless network" is a parameter that is only used if the time Capsule need to connect to another router from Apple with the help of a Wi-Fi connection.

    You use Ethernet to connect, you must use the parameter to "create a wireless network. Use the same wireless network name and the same password as your "primary" router

  • Make an express airport only connect to an another AE and not the main Time Capsule.

    Hi all

    I have a Time Capsule airport and 2 Airport Express. The Capsule is far and an of the expressed airport is in the middle (call this) 1 and the other far from it, I'm calling this 2. As it is now, the 2nd Airport Express terminal connects to Time Capsule. However, it gives me much lower speed (Interruptions during the game). But if the 2nd Airport Express connects to the AE first, which is the extension of the network of transport CANADA, significantly improves the speed.

    I've tried everything. All devices are relatively new (think of the last model). I called the Apple Support, but their solution was to any wire. I asked if the 2nd AE can be configured statically, but they have quoted me their policy, which is not supported and took my info and never called back. I read the posts of the forum, but could not find any relevant information.

    Can someone tell me how I can do the 2nd AE connect only to the AE 1 (in the middle) so I can get faster speed for the game device wired to the 2nd AE? Your feedback is much appreciated.

    Kind regards

    B.

    When you try to extend using the wireless, there will be a loss of speed associated with the process.

    When the two Airport Express connect to Time Capsule, it will be more loss of speed because the 2 devices are connecting and extending.

    If the 2nd Airport Express does not connect to... Time Capsule and it connect instead to the 1st AirPort Express... then 2nd Terminal AirPort Express doesn't have to extend the network.  The 2nd Airport Express could be used for AirPlay, or to connect to a remote printer on the USB port, but it cannot 'expand' or 'repeat' in this case the signal of the wireless network.

    So you're wrong bing into thinking that the network is the extension more quickly if the 2nd Express connects to the 1st. Your network will behave at the faster speed even if you just turn off the 2nd Express.  It is not at all in any case extending the network, and you don't need.

    Here's another way to look at the same thing... using an illustration of the Apple support document for the extension of a network:

    IF... you can connect the 1st Terminal AirPort Express at the time using an Ethernet cable Capsule... then... the 2nd Airport Express would extend the signal from the first... but speed would be because you are trying to extend using the wireless.

    SO... connect the AirPort Express devices using Ethernet... then you will have maximum coverage at the highest speed... Since there is no loss of signal via the Ethernet cable.

  • Time Capsule and Airport Express keeps disconnecting

    I have a problem setting up the network at home. I have a Time Capsule that is connected to a router Huawei, the Capsule is set to 'Create a wireless network' and router mode "Off (bridge mode).

    It was great to all workers and I get 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz networks.

    Today, I bought an Airport Express so I can extend the wifi signal in the new section of the House, I tried to connect it to the time Capsule because 'Extend a wireless network' for a while, it would connect and everything seems fine and then begins the two TC & AE drop and reconnect again and let down once again , the led starts between green and amber shifts from time to time and keep doing that... The WiFi keeps fall signals and reconnect!

    I'm not sure what the problem... ! tried to set up two or three times but nothing seems to work. But once I turn off the AE, the TC begins works very well!

    Here is how my network configuration must be:

    Wall -> RJ11 >- Huawei -> Ethernet >- TC ... > WiFi >... AE 

    Note: when I connect the AE to transport CANADA the 1st time, this pattern was shown in Airport utility:

    Internet > TC > AE

    but it would be still lower, after the reset of the AE several times and tried to configure several times, now what I see is that both are connected to the Internet icon somehow!

    Any help!

    Begin by looking at the location of the AirPort Express to the TC Terminal. It is in the same room, another room or different floor? Another room or floor, if that it the basic construction building materials used in the walls or the ceiling in your home?

    What exact models are each of your base stations?

  • Cannot move the files, photos at airport Time Capsule

    Hello

    I want to transfer files, photos of my Time Capsule but I don't see anywhere on my macbook. I think that something I messed up when I was put in place at the time of Christmas trees. I'll start from the beginning. Before I bought my time capsule I was connected to the internet through my wireless router, name: GMZ-83313. After that I bought my Time Capsule I set up and connected to the internet. Problem is that I have 2 networks who I can connect it is: GMZ - 83313 and Daniel Wi - Fi network (finally...) I have three really because I started to play with it more and I have network of Wi - Fi for the 3rd networkDaniel 5 GHz ;(

    I just want to add that yesterday I was able to transfer photos from my time capsule and it showed here where you can see GMZ-83313. Yesterday, it was Ant Time Capsule of Daniel it was working fine.

    I'm lost please help. I have attached a shot of my airport utility screen:

    Click gmz-83313 under the Shared heading in the Finder window

    A folder that represents the Time Capsule... hard drive that is named 'Data', unless you have changed the name... appears in the window on the right

    Double click on data to open the player and install it on the desktop computer

    You can drag and drop the files to the disc on the desktop icon or the open window
