• 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.

• 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?

• Can I CONNECT TIME CAPSULE to COMCAST without wireless/WiFi?

  Hello

  ...

  I know I'm out of my League here... But...

  I have a new Mac Pro... and I also connected to a router (modem) comcast wireless... I bought a time capsule from the airport. Are they compatible? Should I have them both?

  There must be several options, but I'm limited inskill!

  Thank you

  Richard

  I have a new Mac Pro... and I also connected to a router (modem) comcast wireless... I bought a time capsule from the airport. Are they compatible? Should I have them both?

  When you say that comcast I presume it is the router modem cable or fiber (DSL)?

  Anyway your TC is compatible...

  You need both... TC has no modem... If you must continue to run the Comcast modem and I would recommend that you do not touch... let it run like it's...

  Connect the WAN port on the TC in the Comcast router LAN port...

  Just to be clear, the answer to your title is no. a very solid no deeply upsetting. You cannot connect TC to Comcast wifi... you need to connect by ethernet... This is the one and only way... and you cannot disconnect the ethernet after connection... it should stay like this...

  If there is a problem, there are solutions... As adapters EOP or a second terminal airport. Tell us if you want this specific info.

  Open the airport on your Mac utility (or use iOS version is often more reliable) and configure the TC... It is almost entirely automatic... but if you are unsure, we can help you...

  You start the installation wizard by clicking on other WiFi devices (1) in the upper left corner.

  

  The installation wizard will cost essentially through the configuration.

  To do Time Machine backup make sure that you connect to the TC wireless not comcast gateway.

  There are other things... start with that and let us know how you go.

• The Time Capsule and Comcast router compatibility

  I plan on buying Time Capsule.

  My ISP is Comcast and borrow the gateway (modem and router together)

  Comcast has not recommended the use of Time Capsule as wifi router

  I would like to know if there are problems (slow wifi, etc.) using Time Capsule with Comcast.

  It is very well - at least, it will work without problems.

  You will probably find yourself with two wireless networks - the Comcast box and time Capsule (from memory, you can not deactivate their wireless gateway), but since you get to choose which network to join you shouldn't have a problem.

• 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.

• How to connect my Time Capsule to a WiFi network?

  Happily, I use a Time Capsule for years as a WiFi router connected as a bridge to the router provided by my supplier.

  Now, I'm moving to a place where internet is already provided by an access point in my new apartment and included in the monthly cost of the facilities in this village. The access point is hidden behind the ceiling of my apartment and doesn't have any port ethernet except the one used to get the internet. WiFi which will be available for me is configured by an administrator with the name of my apartment.

  My internet needs TC that the ethernet source and I wonder what I could do to work around this problem. I don't see any option in the settings of TC to connect to an existing WiFi.

  While waiting to move to the new apartment, I did a test by trying to create a scenario similar to the House, for example by using the wifi router of my provider to create a wifi network, then using an extension of WiFi that is connected to A WiFi network and connect my TC via ethernet connected on WiFi extender set up my TC as a bridge and the creation of a WiFi B with my TC that I can use with my devices. It works fine, but I wonder if there is something I'm missing or a better solution or possible issues related to this configuration.

  Tnxs.

  My internet needs TC that the ethernet source and I wonder what I could do to work around this problem.

  In a Word, nothing. The TC must connect to a network by using a wired Ethernet cable connection. The only exception to this would be a Workbench where you already have a router Apple providing a wireless signal, in which case the TC can connect wireless to "extend" the network.

  This is how the TC must be connected to the network of the apartment. If your extension does not work with the network of the apartment, an AirPort Express could be used to 'join' the network wireless of the apartment, and then provide an Ethernet connection to the Treasury Board.

• Utilities airport shows a triangle Orange on Time Capsule, Wifi working

  Recently, my Time capsule is showing an orange triangle in AP-utility. By clicking on it, it shows the message: AP Time capsule found, with the possibility to forget.

  Time capsule shows a steady green light. Wifi is good job and my two other airports Express are being lit in the utility.

  I've read other discussions with similar problems. So, I did the following things:

  (1) soft reset of time capsule,

  (2) Changed link local IPv6 settings

  (3) disabled firewall

  (4) settings saved and restarted.

  It did not help for long after a few minutes the triangle orange has shown once again.

  In Time Machine, time capsule HD is not recognized or the other.

  But the wifi works perfectly.

  Please notify.

  I think that the problem is resolved.

  In this link, I found a solutionTime capsule will appear but the WIFI connection works

• Time capsule is not displayed but the work of WIFI connection

  Hello

  I have a Time Capsule 2 giga, which is used as a WIFI router connected to my normal router via Ethernet and an Airport Extreme, main, used as extension. Until today everything worked well.

  Now, when I open the Airport utility to display the connection, it shows me that the TC and AE are not registered more (device not found). But I can still access the Wifi and internet via networks, I created, but not the backup.

  I unplugged the TC and AE, reconnected them, reset, then the connection worked.

  But now it is again.

  Does anyone have the same problem?

  Concerning

  Unfortunately, this issue is not new and has been reported a number of times since OS X Mavericks.

  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.
  • Try to access the base station using the utility file > configure other... option. Then enter the IP address of LAN - side base station (the default value is: 10.0.1.1) and password of the administrator of the base station.
  • 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:
      Note: You may temporarily connect your Mac or PC directly to the base by Ethernet station to access.
      • 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.
  • Finally, if you try to access the Airport via an Ethernet connection, make sure that your Ethernet port is NOT configured for Jumbo frames, that is, by using a MTU of 9000 +.

• WiFi work stopped on Time Capsule, but manages to get internet

  Part of our time Capsule Wifi stopped working in our office.  He continues to receive internet because everything that is connected to the internet can connect properly, including our VoIP phone system.  It just seems to be the Wifi on the Time Capsule.  The network will appear as an option on our devices, but when we try to connect, it continues to request the password.  We tried to reset and unplug, but we are unable to join the wireless network.  The time Capsule is two years old, so I don't feel like it should be failed.  Any suggestions?

  WiFi may fail.

  Please do a full 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.

  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.

  Run through the installation wizard in airport utility

  Make sure you only give a name short and simple wifi... No, Apple has recommended. < 10 characters, pure alphanumeric characters.

  for example TCwifi

  Or even give the 2 strips of different names, for example TC24ghz and TC5ghz

  Password use WPA2 Personal, pure from 8 to 20 alphanumeric characters.

  If you still have questions wireless... the TC may be broken.

  If you have applecare on a computer or an ipad or apple TV the TC is covered and get Apple to replace.

  If it is less than 2 years old and you don't have applecare you can always buy.

  Is this more or less 2 years... It is essential... If it is still 1 day less than you can be replaced.

  Buy applecare on any product that you already have still eligible or buy a Gen3 Apple TV... don't open it. Buy applecare for it... get your TC replaced under the applecare... return the apple TV for refund.

• time capsule airport lose wifi range

  I've been using airport time capsule as a router and machine time about 1.5 years and suddenly the WIFI range

  come fall, I use the modem cable HI Speed with 10 loading MB and 150 MB down when suddenly the speed dropped I still get 10 but only about 92 or less down, unless I use an ethernet cable that brings speed to 150 are lowest, (PS), I ran the on time capsule ethernet cable to my Mac mini so it becomes what should be diffuse but do not do a very good job more.

  question is there something that can be done to solve this problem everyone knows this problem, thanks for any help that can be provided.

  What exact model of the Time Capsule (TC) do you have? Given that the question appears with the wireless, you live in an area with a high concentration of other networks Wi - Fi? An apartment complex or a dorm maybe?

• Need help to set up Time Capsule with surfboard SBG6580... wifi or extender?

  I just got my Time Capsule and trying to figure out if I should use as my wifi router, or keep my SBG6580 active and e TC allows to extend my warranty.

  Any recommendations?

  In addition, how? Online instructions do not seem to be very clear.

  Thank you!

  I will always recommend to use your Time Capsule as a router, it will be much easier to access and manipulate, unless really, you need to report more coverage.

• Time Capsule and Wifi

  Hi, I have a wifi connection that is provided by the residence where I live (it's why I do not have a router). Can I use time Capsule as a tool for the backup connect to existing wifi?

  Thank you very much.

  You ask on an existing model of time Capsule you have already? If Yes, which model number do you have?

  or

  You ask about a new time Capsule, you might consider buying?

  What operating system you have installed on your Mac or your other computer?

• My macpro is backup in the capsule of time even when I was at work, which means that the time capsule is consumed my data plan. Can anyone suggest a way I can have it the backup only when my mac pro and time capsule is in the same local wifi

  my mac pro is backup in the capsule of time even when I was at work, which means that the time capsule is consumed my data plan. Can anyone suggest a way I can have it the backup only when my mac pro and time capsule is in the same local wifi

  If the Time Capsule and MacBook Pros are not on the same network, the MacBook is not backup in the time Capsule. You probably see what snapshots leaving MacBook on the local disk, until the two are reconnected. If you don't want that to happen, disable Time Machine on a different network.

  Good day.

• My MacBook is not connect to my Time Capsule to back up.  IMac my wife backup fine and our wifi works, but when I try to save, I get a message telling me to connect to the T. C. when it is available, which is never.  Help

  My MacBook Pro is not connect to my Time Capsule so it backs up.  IMac my wife backup fine and our wifi works, but when I try to save, I get a message telling me to connect to the T. C. when it is available, which is never.
