• Airport time capsule as extender

  can I use my time capsule to extend the network wireless in my house? I have time warner cable modem wireless running right now.

  You do not indicate if the time Capsule will be connected to the Time Warner modem/router using a wired Ethernet connection or connect wirelessly only, therefore the best answer we could provide to your question is 'yes' and 'no'.

  Yes, if the Capsule will connect to TWC modem/router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanently.

  No, if you ask if the time Capsule can extend wireless signal from the modem/router to TWC.

• I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

  If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

  As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

  At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

• Need help to set up Time Capsule to extend the current U - pay Wi - Fi.

  I am trying to extend my current Wi - Fi signal from AT + T U-Verse. I have a time capsule 1 TB and a Macbook Pro w/Retina Display. When I go in the most convenient airport Configuration it allows me to select "Extend a current network" but who is she won't let me go. The only option that it allows me to move forward with is to create a new network. I do not have the ability to plug directly into the router as I rent and do not have access to the actual router, just the Signal Wi - Fi. Please help with suggestions. I tried a factory with the time Capsule hard reset and still nothing. Thank you.

  Sorry, but the time Capsule and other Apple routers will expand only wireless network that is provided by another router from Apple.

  Another way of saying the same thing, it's that if you want to extend wireless network using an Apple product, you will need two of them... a close Uverse router/modem connected using Ethernet and set up to "create a wireless network"... and another airport located remotely to "extend a wireless network.

  Since you say that you can not access the Uverse router, that will make things very difficult.

  The only thing that peut work would be to add an AirPort Express and configure it to 'join' the Uverse wireless network. When she did this, it can then provide an Ethernet signal to the time Capsule, which in turn can be configured to provide your own private network.  In other words, the AirPort Express would act as a wire-to - Ethernet without 'bridge' to ensure the Ethernet connection that requires time Capsule.

  If you decide to try this, it would be a good idea to understand the return policy of the store on the AirPort Express before you buy. With unusual game like this, the only way you will know if it will work in your home is to try in your home.

• My Airport Time Capsule can act as a WIRELESS access point

  Hello.

  I brought a Time Capsule with my Mac Pro. It worked well since yesterday.

  I have set up the time Capsule as a WIFI, bypass at my local network access point. There is a router (cable) works at home.

  It's my Mac Pro AirPort Utility and my iPhone, my Time Capsule is displayed with an exclamation point saying "device not found". I can't connect to the disk on this subject by afp share, or smb. Time Machine function is gone too. He failed trying to connect to the share drive from another computer connected to the time Capsule by cable network.

  But at the same time, WiFi works well.

  I tried to recycle energy. Sharing disk will be available. But if I start the Time Machine backup, it will not be a few seconds.

  Any idea?

  Thank you.

  There are several posts here related the issue.

  Luckily, you have set up your new Time Capsule for Back to My Mac (BTMM)?

  If so, the 'temporary' solution is to delete/disable the option of the CCMM, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the base and then station, select change.
  • On the tab of the Base Station, go back to the section of my Mac at the bottom of the window.
  • If you have entries here, select it and click then the minus sign "-" button to remove it.
  • Click on update and allow the base station restart.

  If you have not enabled CCMM, we have other options for you to try.

• setting up mac time capsule can't find

  Ive gotten recently used time capsule and I try to make operational. My mac is 2009 with update of el capitan. I followed the instructions from the capsule to the router via a cable and wifi on.

  Installation instructions assume that you have a new, out-of-the-box Time Capsule that has default values. Perform a reset on the Time Capsule to see if this will help by default.

  Turning off the Capsule of time for a minute or two

  Hold in the reset button on the back of the Capsule of time... and keep taking while you at the same time the candle to the power in the time Capsule

  Release reset button after that Time Capsule light was quickly orange flashing for a few seconds

  Allow a minute for the time Capsule to restart

  Try installation again

  

• 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?

• Airport Express, Time Capsule and Airport Express using the same network

  Just moved into a new House and this is what I install.  I have 7 Port wired into the House.

  Closet of network in the Garage:

  • Cable modem
  • Airport Express
  • netgear switch 8 ports
  • It works pretty well.  All my wired connections work fine.  Wireless is quite good but cove not enough of space in my house.

  Think about adding my airport express capsule of time in my office - plugged into one of the hard wired connections.  Who works AND let me wish the WIFI?

  Thank you!

  Yes fine, assuming that first test you the Ethernet port in the office by connecting a computer (with WIFI disabled on the computer) using a spare Ethernet cable runs to ensure that the computer can get a good connection in this way.

  Put the airport Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password in your existing network. Apple installation "Wizard" automatically configure airport Time Capsule in the correct setting of the Bridge Mode for the device.

• How can I configure Time Capsule 3 to and Motorola NVG589 to access the Time Capsule backup drive?

  I have ATT Uverse service and am ok with the performance of the WiFi of the NVG589. I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network and be able to access the drive for backups Time Machine. I think I am following the steps in Airport utility, but once installation is complete I can find is no longer the time Capsule.

  I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network

  The time Capsule cannot "extend" the network Uverse using a wireless connection, if that's maybe what you're trying to do. The time Capsule can only wireless "extend" the signal of another router from Apple.

  The Capsule can be configured to extend the network to Uverse if it is connected permanently... anytime... to the Uverse router using a connection through wired Ethernet cable.

  Please specify on what you're trying to accomplish, so that we can provide the correct steps.

• Impossible to extend the existing wi - fi with time capsule airport

  Hello

  I have one Capsule of airport TB 2 hung on an Ethernet in my study (lower level).

  I already have an existing wi - fi network to ISP modem/router to my media box provided at the top level.

  In addition, I have an Extender provided by the ISP of lower level.

  I would try to expand the scope of the wi - fi with my time capsule without creating an additional network.

  I tried several times to do so, but either it freezes up or creates its own network despite the

  mode bridge as stated in Airport utility.

  Guide gently with the method or Protocol correct to put that in place.

  Thank you

  Jay

  I would try to expand the scope of the wi - fi with my time capsule without creating an additional network.

  It sounds like you may try to extend the network of your "main" router wireless

  The time Capsule will not be able to extend wireless network if your 'main' router is also an Apple AirPort base station.  Or... in other words if your 'main' router is not an Apple product, then the time Capsule will not be able to extend wireless network.

  So, the first question to ask here would be... What is the number of brand and model of your router "main"?

  If you intend to leave the time Capsule connected to your main router with an Ethernet connection, the Capsule must have the maximum value of "create a wireless network.  If you use the same wireless network name and password using your 'main' router, Time Capsule will provide additional wireless coverage in the area where it is located.

• HOW THE AIRPORT TIME CAPSULE WIRELESS NETWORK IS PROTECTED?

  I implemented the airport Time Capsule, using a DSL modem connected to the internet as its bridge.  MacBook Pro was used for initial set up by the bolt of lightning to Ethernet connector and then disconnected and works perfectly.  Now, I would like to use Wi - Fi for my Samsung phone not iOS.  On the Samsung wireless I connect to my home network using a password.  Well, I don't think that a password was never set.  How can I configure my wifi at home to establish a password?   I don't think that the modem settings should enter in solving this for me, but I'll add that the modem required a static IP address be entered for this connection when its router features have been disabled for the connection of bridge.

  If the Time Capsule (TC) provides the wireless network, then you can secure it using AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the TC and then, select change.
  • Select the wireless tab.
  • In the wireless security, select the type of security. I highly recommend that you choose: WPA2 Personal
  • Enter a password in the field password wireless. Enter the same password in the verify password.
  • Select Update.

  

• Old Time Capsule join new network

  I plan to upgrade my home network by buying a new Airport Extreme with 802.11ac as main router and let old TimeCapsule join the new network.

  

  I would like to know it's installation work? Let's all backup Time Machine of my MIC works well? Thank you.

  Unlike the AirPort Express, you cannot configure the old Time Capsule to join an existing network to use as a wireless Ethernet bridge. Instead, it will have to be configured to extend the network of the new extreme wireless if you want that connection between them in order to be wireless. This would still allow the Ethernet ports of the TC for your MacBook Pro to use for connectivity.

• Create wireless network with airport Time Capsule

  I replace my ISP provider rented the modem / router with a modem, I bought and I would use my gen current airport Time Capsule to set up the wifi network. I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

  I am running OS X Capitan 10.11.3 on an early 2015 MacBook Pro.

  Thank you!

  Dale

  I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

  Hmm.  A time Capsule is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive, so what works for one should work for the other and vice versa. You might be looking at old operating instructions?

  Since you've decided to add a new modem, Time Capsule will be reset back to the default settings and then set it up again to work with the new modem.  Apple installation "wizard" will guide you in installing the time Capsule, by appointing a wireless network, set up a password, etc, so the process is very easy to name.

  The installation provided with your Time Capsule Guide goes on how to set up the time Capsule.

  After resetting the time Capsule to factory default settings, you would connect an Ethernet cable from the modem into the "O" on the Time Capsule WAN port.

  To get the "Assistant" Setup running, just click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen of the Mac and are looking for the new AirPort base station. Just below that, click directly on the Time Capsule.  The example below shows an AirPort Extreme, but you would see on your screen time Capsule.

  

  When you click on the Time Capsule, the next screen that is displayed looks like this, except that you will see a picture of a Capsule of time on your screen.

  

  Simply click next to get the process going and follow the instructions.

• Time Capsule: create networks of 5.0 and 2.4 with different names

  I've got a video doorbell Skybell requiring the 2.4 GHz network have a different name from that of the 5.0 GHz network. Find no way to do it in Airport utility

  Try this: AirPort Utility > select the Time Capsule > change > wireless tab > wireless network name Options > 5 GHz > enter the network name of your choice for radio 5 GHz here. Note: The 2.4 GHz radio network name could be changed under the tab wireless in the wireless network name field.

• 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.
