WiFi to my Time Capsule still degrades 2.4 GHz instead of 5 GHz

My capsule of time always degrades to the band of 2.4 GHz instead to be linked to the 5 GHz band when I'm browsing the internet, doing someone knows if it's an antenna, problem of router or a drop of water lost connection Bean, thanks.

Your Time Capsule is not downgraded to 2.4 GHz at all, it's always the production both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network at any time. That's why's called it a double router broadband simultaneously .  Wireless devices will be automatically connect at 5 GHz or 2.4 Gz based on their own abilities and their distance from the time Capsule.

5 GHz signals are 'faster' signals, but they are also 'weaker' signals, so you no longer have a lot of success with 5 GHz when wireless devices are in the same room or have line-of-sight to the time Capsule. Once a device moves a piece or more away from the time Capsule, the device 'sees' the stronger 2.4 GHz signal here and commute to 2.4 Ghz for the connection stronger.

Unfortunately, once a device powered 2.4 GHz, usually not going to happen 5 GHz unless you temporarily disable WiFi on the device and then turn it on again. If the device "sees" a 5 GHz signal strong enough, then it will connect to this network.

If you want devices to connect at 5 GHz, using an option to assign a different name for the 5 GHz network, you can "point" or "force" devices to connect to this signal.  The downside to this, is that you also need manually "perpendicular to the" 2.4 GHz devices if they are located a few rooms away... Time Capsule because they may not be able to pick up even the 5 GHz signal to this place. "  Even if they can, the 2.4 GHz signal will be much stronger and probably faster than the 5 GHz network.

After the back if you need some tips on how to assign a different name for the 5 GHz network.

  • Extend the reach of the WiFi with airport Time Capsule and Airport Express

    I want to extend the range of my WiFi network running on a Time Capsule with an Airport Extreme airport. The Internet, ADSL, signal goes from the cable box in a closet and has two Ethernet cables connecting the box. I installed a simple Ethernet switch and ran inside, with both Internet cables Ethernet Miss and in two rooms in my apartment. I created the Capsule of time like the WiFi router, then the Express in the other room in Bridge Mode to extend the range of the WiFi network and enable AirPlay. This configuration works well for a while, but after a certain time has problems. The Express seems to go back to the creation of the WiFi network on its own and I saw the problem of the conflict addreses DCHP.

    What seemed to work correctly using the Express as the "pivot" and I fell straight Internet on it and an Ethernet cable to connect the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode. It's far from ideal for me, however, because I like the Express to be in another room to extend the range of the WiFi network in this part of my apartment and be able to use it for AirPlay.

    Help, please.

    If you could let us know what operating system you use on your Mac or PC, we'll give you a configuration suggested for the AirPort Express, which will allow the Express and the Time Capsule to connect to the Ethernet switch and perform correctly.

    We assume that the switch and the wiring will function properly in your current configuration, as well as the time Capsule, is that correct?

  • 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.

  • Cannot add password to 1 St gen time capsule

    I have a time capsule of first generation and is gone in there to add a password WIFI arrives but no device is able to connect (imac, ipad, iPhone, etc).

    If I leave the unsecured network everything works as expected. In an area rural so that can work but not optimal.

    Have tried all WPA2, WEP and WPA/WPA2 and all have the same behavior.

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    You also change the name of the correct wireless network?  If this isn't the case, that will really mess up things since the devices will try store parameters to connect to the same network with and without a password name.

    As it is, your "remember" as network devices requiring no not a password, so that they do not connect with a password.

    Probably not what you want to hear at this stage, but it's a miracle that a 1st Gen Time Capsule still works. Most don't have 18 months and very little is ever beyond 36 months.

    The Capsule will fail at any time now, so if you value the data on the Time Capsule, connect a USB to the Time Capsule and copy the content on the Time Capsule above the USB disk drive as soon as possible.

  • Routers changed; How to reconnect time capsule

    Changed to Earthlink DSL to AT & T u-verse fiber and time capsule airport is no longer back up; AT & T set new router; I want to use only the Time Machine backup. What I have to do a hard reset of time capsule? Is there an easier way to reconnect with my iMac? I have now connected time capsule directly in my iMac, but still no recognition. Thank you.

    Whenever you change the modem or modem/router, or change service provider, the time Capsule airport must be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work on the "new" network

    A hard reset on the Time Capsule will achieve this goal. Then, make sure that the Ethernet cable connects from one of the four <>- on the Uverse router/modem LAN ports to the "O" on the Time Capsule WAN port.

    Set up the time Capsule still... you can use the same name and password if you want, or set up a new name and password if you wish.

  • Unable to connect to WD Mybook Duo when it is connected to Time Capsule

    I have a new Western Digital MyBook Duo 4 (2 TB per disk) to I want to access any of the three Macs in the House.

    Every Mac use the Wifi in my Time Capsule airport station. My book Duo is plugged into the USB jack on the back that is provided for external hard drives.

    However, all Macs you will see the Duo MyBook, none can use it.

    Info: Every Mac running El Capitan.   The Time Capsule and MyBook Duo running the latest firmware.

    In the Finder, every Mac can see the airport Time Capsule, under 'Shared' in the left pane. By clicking on it, each Mac can see the time Capsule HARD internal disk and external HDD my book Duo. When I click on it, I get the same darn message each time: "the operation cannot be performed because the original for"My Book Duo"item could not be found."

    If I connect the MyBook Duo directly to the USB port on any Mac, everything works fine. But this isn't the way I want to connect.

    The most convenient airport Time Capsule is supposed to effectively (via its USB port) allows you to have an external HDD on a network, and that's how I want to use my book Duo.

    Can someone help, please?

    Hello

    Did you do the drives MyBook Duo are in the right format? It must be formatted in HFS + (also known as Mac OS extended (journaled).

  • Using Time Capsule airport on 2 devices

    for some reason, I have a PET of brain here and do not understand this.

    My wife has a laptop computer macpro she does his grad school stuff on.   I have an iMac.   I also have the time capsules from the airport.  the woman is set up with time machine, it sends data via wifi to the time capsule. It is very good.  The mine records at the same Time capsule airport wireless.

    ME, I would use one different wifi router other than the airport on another network device I have, however, the question is: is it possible that I can keep the wifi for the operation of the Apple device and connect my computer via ethernet to the device for the back upward only, using the capsule on the imac.

    I think I can, but I don't want to screw up the wireless network.

    You can use both ethernet and wireless at the same time... but it becomes complicated with the gateway router and DNS values.

    Secondary wireless router should use another address LAN IP for the TC, so you can separate the two networks.

    This could lead to further questions about the network although because you must plug a router into the other I presume... unless you are completely isolate the TC from the internet or if you have in fact two internet connections.

    Give me the real details.

    What is the second router and IP is running?

    How is the installation of TC and what IP is running?

    Screenshots that make it easier.

    I did a write up with screenshots here, which will give you the basics.

  • Airport Express stops working after that put 7.7.7 upgraded to Time Capsule

    I was able to update my firmware for my Time Capsule airport, but now my two devices Airport Express, which gave me "an unexpected error has occurred", seem to be in 'brick' and I can not even time Capsule to recognize after a reset.  I even spent my firmware to see if that was the problem... nothing.  Please help

    At this point, is the time Capsule still loaded with an earlier version of the firmware or is it still in 7.7.7? Nevertheless, I would say that you do a ' default ' reset on each of the affected AirPort Express base stations to their "out-of-the-box" configurations

    Depending on your answer to the first question, we can proceed from there.
