• 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.

• 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...

• How can implement you not with Tim Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

  Hello

  How can implement you not with Time Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

  I don't know what you're asking.

  AirPort Extreme is a wireless router.

  A Time Capsule airport is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive for data storage.

  An iMac is a Mac computer.

  An iMac is not a wireless router, so he is unable to perform the functions of a wireless router.

  Have problems and questions with Time Capsule was dealt with in a meaningful way? Reluctant to buy according to your comments.

  Apple did not have any material changes to the time Capsule to nearly 3 years. The only change that has occurred in the last 18 months or so is a firmware update to address security issues.

• Problems with Time Capsule

  I have problems with our time Capsule. My husband and I have Macbook Pro (from 2012). We use a Time Capsule as our backup disk but not our wireless router (we use the router provided by our internet service provider). We have configured like this for over a year and it is usually worked fine. In the last month, we had problems with backups does not happen. Currently, computer of my husband has saved in about 2 weeks, and mine has not backed up in 2 days.

  It seems that our computers lose their link with time capsule. If I go to the finder, the shared drive appears under "shared", but if I click on it to connect I get a message that says "connection failed." Airport utility shows the time Capsule but has a yellow triangle next to it that says "device not found."

  If I unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again, it reconnects. I did this earlier this evening and was able to access the shared drive and make a return to the top. But a few hours later, this subject has disappeared again. I tried to do this same thing - unplug, get the rear connection, only to lose it again a little later. Any thoughts on what could be the problem? The Capsule was bought the same time than computers.

  I guess what surprises me is that you had no problems up to this point.

  Your computer must connect directly to the Treasury Board. Ethernet or wireless... It will break things especially in the BONES later if you do not.

  Do you have recently move you to el capo... ?? That could have triggered the problem.

  I lost the link but in apple of one document stated finally that you connect directly the computer now... because of the bad DNS in the operating system.

  If I unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again, it reconnects. I did this earlier this evening and was able to access the shared drive and make a return to the top.

  That's why you get this nonsense. He is able to find the backup if DNS is renewed due to reset... After a few hours it is lost again.

  What operating system do you use?

  My recommendation is to put on wireless and a link to the direct of TC...

  A TC Gen4 purchased in 2012 is now at least 3 years and let me tell also your reliable stage... you are now at the stage of growing decrepitude of old people. It might work correctly for a year or two... It can suddenly die tomorrow... but more likely will fade into the sunset.

• Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

  Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

  I'm going to assume that you plan to have wireless devices.

  Let's say that the Capsule is your "main" router  If this is the case, then it must be located in the House, so that the distance between the time Capsule is the same for the outside walls of the House.

  Then, on the 'left' side of the House, looking for an airport to midway between the Capsule and time of the outer wall of the House. Do the same thing the 'right' side of the House.

  In other words, each of the two airports that "extend" the wireless signal are located at equal distance from the Capsule of time... but they are in opposite ends of the House.

  If you intend to interconnect all the airports and Time Capsule using a permanent, Ethernet wired... which by far is the 'best' way to put in place a network in terms of performance and reliability... then you can locate one of the devices anywhere you want.

• setting up time capsule and express wired after disconnection of the airport

  I have a 2 TB Time Capsule and three 3 wired express airport throughout my house.  I know that when I added first the cable express, that I had to call apple to change some settings.  Now I can't service because they are more than a year and after a recent quick breakdown (two or three) power is the airport expresses link is more and a bunch of my settings seem to have changed on the Time Capsule.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

  If you think there are setting changes, then it would be better to start over.

  • First of all, you want to make a 'factory' reset on all of your base stations. This will return them to their "out-of-the-box" configuration Once finished, leave them turned off.
  • Then, we put up the Time Capsule (TC). Since it has been reset, it will broadcast a Wi - Fi unsecured network with a network name of something like: Apple network NNNNNN.
  • Use AirPort Utility on your iPhone, Mac or PC to configure the TC as a stand-alone wireless router. In other words, configure it to provide a secure WiFi network.
  • Once the TC has been configured, verify that the clients on your network can access the Internet with it.
  • If he succeeds, proceed to the next step. If this is not the case, stop and post back with your results.
  • We will now configure all of your base stations for a roaming network.
  • Power-up one of the three stations based AirPort Express.
  • Once again, you will need to use AirPort Utility to continue. The utility must now find the Express, and if all goes well, it will offer to the Express allows to extend the TC using Ethernet. It's what you want and just go through the steps automated window 'Installation '. And then on actually.
  • Do the same for the other two express base stations.

• boosters of WiFi and time Capsules

  I want to increase my wifi signal, and I'm getting conflicting advice. I use my Time Capsule as my source wifi. I see a numebr of extenders of wifi on Amazon, but it works best with TC? Are these devices plug - and p; Ay?

  Thank you.

  What works the 'better' with the TC is either another TC AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express base station as all of them use the same propriety technology to extend a wireless network.

• Best config Time Capsule - Airport Express

  Hi all.

  My home network at present are as follows:

  -My ISP, with a disabled Wi - Fi router;

  -Mac and PC connected via ethernet cables using the router's LAN ports.

  -Airport Express (WAN port) connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router that gives Wi - fi in the House: note that the router and AirPort Express are in different rooms (router: bedroom, AirPort Express: living room)

  I want to add a time Capsule to my network, but I want to put in the living room, where the Express is at the moment. I don't have a single cable ethernet connecting the bedroom to the living room because there is not enough space in the walls of two sons.

  What I would do is:

  -Time capsule in the living room, connected via an ethernet cable to the router, generating the signal Wi - Fi;

  -AirPort Express connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router, which extends signal Wi - Fi in the bedroom.

  This configuration can work? And how? Should I use the same SSID?

  If this is not possible, my only option is to connect the Time Capsule via ethernet to the router and then connect the WAN port on the Express to a port of time Capsule, right? Would not be my best installation in the House, but if it's the only one that works, I'll go with it. If I didn't have the problem of the single cable connecting the two rooms, everything would be super easy. Extending Wi - Fi wireless is not in my case, having this second wired option.

  Any other suggestion is appreciated!

  What I would do is:

  -Time capsule in the living room, connected via an ethernet cable to the router, generating the signal Wi - Fi;

  -AirPort Express connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router, which extends signal Wi - Fi in the bedroom.

  This configuration can work? And how? Should I use the same SSID?

  Of course, it works very well. Download Time Capsule set up and running using Apple "Installation Wizard", and then reset the Express back to the settings by default and set up using Configuration Apple "Assistant" as well.

  The wizard will affect automatically the same SSID and password to the AirPort Express, which uses the Capsule, so by default, you will have what is called a "mobile network". For the configuration, I would recommend that you temporarily connect the Express to the time Capsule using a short Ethernet cable to spare before you run the installer... no matter how long will do.  Connect from a port LAN <>- on the Time Capsule to the "O" in L'Express WAN port. Once the Express is set up, you can move it to the location of the router to establish Ethernet connection here.

  If for any reason, you want the AirPort Express to use a different SSID as the time Capsule, you can use AirPort Utility to go back and change the SSID (and the password as well if you want) on the AirPort Express Terminal.

• Mac Mail will constantly be disconnected with Time Capsule

  It has been ongoing for more than a year: I the time Capsule AC version (bought fall 2014) and uses a Macbook (version slim retina released in March 2015.) 12 "I am constantly the mailbox in offline mode in the Mail from Mac application.  The status bar displays "Error of account" and when I click on the error box, it gives the following message:

  DRAW THE ATTENTION OF

  There may be a problem with the mail server or the network.  Check the "iCloud" account settings or try again.

  The server returned the error: connection to the server "p15 - imap.mail.me.com" on default ports has expired.

  If I temporarily turn off Wifi and turn back on right, the error messages disappear and download new messages.  Everything works fine for a few hours, and then I start to see those! exclamation points! next to my mailbox.

  Initially I thought it was a problem with the Macbook.  They did a replacement under warranty of the wifi module into the Macbook.  Still the same problem.  So yesterday, I noticed that my iMac 27 "retina is sometimes as well.  And also, it is fixed temporarily by activating / disabling wifi on and outside.

  Interestingly, my business partner, who has the same version AC Time Capsule and retina macbook 12 "even I experienced the EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS in his house.  (Mailbox log in Mac app, remedied temporarily by activating / disabling wifi power).

  It's to drive us both crazy.

  Both have tried to remove the email accounts of our Macs and rebuild them.  Still the same problem.

  Is there a problem of connectivity between the time Capsule AC and some Mac computers?  I do NOT notice the problem when I'm connected to all other routers in other locations and mobile.

  If anyone has a thought on this, I would appreciate it a lot.  I am about to replace my Time Capsule with another brand of router in order to solve the problem, but all other routers are so ugly and I don't want some Darth Vader looking black thing with 8 antennas in my living room.

  I assume that you are running the latest OS to el capitan?

  The iMac is also updated for later?

  El Capo had e-mail problems... so I assume also that you have updated to the latest patch.

  Your experience with the laptop when you suggest that mobile are still correct... It is the TC at fault.

  There are known problems happening... not universal, which is a shame because then it would be imposed on Apple to fix... but it is not uncommon.

  I would recommend a reconfiguring of the TC... See the list below.

  I understand your network a little better.

  1. what modem do you have? Brand and model please.

  2. your ISP using IPv6 or spend now?

  3. is the work of TC as main router or bridge? (The answer might be inherent in the 1st quarter, but if it is a modem router I need the exact details).

  4. is the modem, also located in your living room... If you run ethernet instead of modem, a router could be installed right next to the modem... and the TC has changed to the bridge? It can work perfectly as a WAP right and for the TM backup when you remove its role in the delivery.

  Darth (breath in) Vader (exhale) Asus or Netgear router... which I suppose you don't not aesthetically... get to work extremely well.

  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 like this also seems to help stop school dropouts. (I recommend you do cela.. 2.4 ghz 11, 9, 5 GHz use 36 or 149)

  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... (It was mostly from the Mavericks)

  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. (Expired for El Capo... just use Finder...) Connect the box below search)

  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. (Depends on your ISP and if they moved to IPv6.. e.g. comcast).

  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.

  

  In the TC configured only IPv6 local link... assuming you're on IPv4 yet.

  

  It is very important with some ISPS like cox cable at this time.

  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.

  These changes could amount to little more... practical household good network... but I salute them as a starting point.

  It's going to ruin your Time Machine configuration... So if you change the TC its location in the network name must be passed to TM... so open TM preferences and put the backup to the new location. TM will then say that he will make a new backup... once he starts, he will find the TC and original backups... check it out... and then do another differential... so no problem. If you are prompted to you want to use the old and new locations of backup just say a new.

• C4580 - error when setting up connect through WiFi w / Time Capsule

  I used my C4580 to print and scann with wireless in the past, a Netgear WiFi router with a DLink WiFi router.  I recently started using a Time Capsule from Apple as my WiFi router.  I have two active groups, so I have a 2.4 GHz signal and a 5 GHz signal available for my wireless products to connect to.  All the other products I use (a MacBook Pro running OS X Lion, an iMac running OS X Lion, a CPU HP running Windows XP, a CPU Dell running Windows 7, a Fujitsu laptop running Windows Vista, Apple TV, an iPhone, and an HTC Evo a TiVo set - top box) are able to connect to one or the other of these signals of network without problem.

  Here's what's happening with the C4580:

  1. I plug my C4580 on my MacBook Pro via USB.

  2. I open the HP installation wizard.

  3. in the first part of the "Setup" section, I select my "Photosmart C4500 series", which shows as connected via 'USB '.

  4. in the second part of the topic "Setup", I check the box "configure yoru device to a wireless network.

  5. in the third part of the "Setup" section, my 5 GHz network is not displayed.  My 2.4 GHz network appears, by dint of complete signal, showing the encryption 'WPA_PSK' and 'Infrastructure' mode  I select this option.

  6. After about two minutes, during which the Setup Wizard probably tries to connect the C4580 to the WiFi network, I get the following error message: "* device not connected * to configure the network settings for the selected device, please temporarily connect it via the USB port.  The device can be disconnected from the USB once the network settings are transferred. »

  Note: Throughout this process, my C4500 WAS connected to my MacBook Pro via USB.

  Question: What other steps should I take to solve this problem?

  Thanks for your time.

  First time that I posted on a forum techy, bt I get a lot of help from them, then it's time to spread the love.

  In any case, I was struck by our similar problems were, we have exactly the same set up and the same current. I've been hitting my head against a brick wall for a whole afternoon. Your temporary solution lead me to a very simple implementation and a more permanent solution.

  Your normal home network have an apostrophe or special characters, such as YourName Wi - Fi network?

  I had two networks put in place (already had a network of comments) called W - Fi Latitude and comments Latitude travel network travel network.

  On your advice I tried to use my Gust netowrk. Oddly, when he showed up on the list, it lacked the apostrophe (the other network was not missing the apostrophe). When I tried to click on it, it said that there was not. I tried to type the name in its entirety in the box 'Other networks' and I was able to connect, but the software insisted that even if the printer is now connected, the MacBook was not (even though it was clearly).

  The anomaly has led me to believe that the HP Softare along with apostrophes, I went to the airport and renamed the two networks with apostrophes. I gave the private network a go, and voila, everything went well.

  It is a lesson in how to make a long story short. Basically, to remove the apostrophes in your network name in the airport and then try again.

• 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 to enable wifi in time capsule

  I use the Wi - Fi system router modem Asus wireless but want to switch to wifi in my Time Capsule. The device from Asus is connected by ethernet to both time Capsule and my iMac. How to activate wifi Time Capsule?

  Apple provides advice for a first installation, but this does not apply in my case.

  Just check the TC in your airport utility.

  Click the icon of the TC... then edit at the bottom right of the summary screen...

  

  and go to the wireless tab... Make sure that you create a wireless network.

  

  You can set your computer to join.
