Connecting fritz box to time capsule

They cannot be bridged to each other..
The TC can join the wireless of the Fritz.. end result.. poor poor speed.. and the TC becomes a dumb client of the network.. it will just be a hard disk in a slow slow router.
Strongly recommend you don't.
Have a try if you like.. the method is here.

There was a problem connecting to the server "Time Capsule". The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again.

The following error pop's up as an [OK] dialogue box after logging in the iMac,
There was a problem connecting to the server "Time Capsule".
The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again."
As it happens, a connection to the Time Capsule is established usually, anyway. On occasion it doesn't.
I have a Volume, Data, on the capsule, which similarly, usually mounts, but occassionally doesn't, with access permissions denied.
Any suggestions on how begin to work out how to achieve networking seamlesness?

First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click Renew DHCP lease.
Try again to back up.
If you still can't, open the Time Machine preference pane and delete the TC from the list of backup destinations. You may have to unlock the settings by clicking the lock icon in order to do this. Then add it back.

I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help.

How to set up 6th Generation AirPort Extreme to cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule to AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender?

What is the best way to set up my 6th Generation AirPort Extreme (A1521) to my cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule (A1355) to my AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender? I live in a small 1 story house and I currently have the Airport Extreme connected to my cable modem in the living room and the Time Capsule plugged into the wall in my bedroom. I am able to wirelessly connect to the internet using the AirPort Extreme as my router and I can also do wireless back ups to my Time Capsule. My problem is that my connection seems to be really slow! My 1TB Time Capsule back up is only half way complete and it has been 3 days! My computer has been backing up all day and night for almost 72 hours and its still not even 75% complete. I have backed up to this Time Capsule in the past and it never took this long. I am thinking that when I set up my AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule using AirPort Utility I must have set it up incorrectly or something.
How do I set up my Airport Extreme and Time Capsule for the fastest possible internet speed and back up speed?
Thank you,

AirPort Utility 5.6 works with AirPort Extreme 802.11g base stations.
It works with N version airports.
It will also show details of the AC model but cannot be used for the setup.. mostly.
I purposely got the new 6th Gen Airport Extreme so my internet connection would be a lot faster!
Your network will be much faster when you have AC client directly connected to the AE. Older client will go no faster.. but what is worse.. extend wireless is mixing new and old wireless standards.. guess what one wins.. OLD.. So when you extend wireless.. you have no improvement whatsoever. This whole post is about extending wireless.. so you cannot extend to older equipment and do any better.. maybe slightly better signal although from your comments that isn't happening either.
I would rather not have to use an ethernet at all with the TC and I don't know EOP adapters are!
If you do not use ethernet then you are going to be forced to accept slow speed.
EOP (ethernet over power). Also called homeplug in the US.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug
Provides a method of networking over power cabling that already exists in your house.
So what your saying is for the fastest internet speed and back up speed possible I should keep my Airport Extreme plugged into my Modem and keep my TC set up as a wireless extender? Then when I want to do back ups I should plug an ethernet cable from my TC to my MacBook Pro?
To spell this out.
A wireless link to an extended device will go very slowly.. if it is not direct.
So lets say you have a laptop sitting in the lounge.. Your connection goes.. Laptop- - - - - AE- - - - -TC.
That means two wireless links.. wireless has this nasty half duplex and single channel nature.. it can send or receive (Tx or Rx) but not at the same time.
Ethernet by contrast does both at once. It is full duplex.
Wireless can talk to one client at a time.. so if there are multiple items using wireless lets say 4 devices.. then your computer gets a 25% time slice. Since wireless cannot handle multiple simultaneous connections.
Ethernet by contrast can connect multiple computers to multiple destinations at the same time.. all transmitting and receiving at full speed.
When you put all this together.. there are a couple of rules for fast connection.
1. Use ethernet at all times. Where you cannot use ethernet use anything but wireless.. eg EOP (homeplug) at least to try and get rid of wireless.
2. Where you must use wireless use it sparingly and make sure it is never more than one hop.. ie never have an extend wireless (repeater is more usual term). Repeater will cause instant slowdown of 50% and maybe up to 75% just because it is so inefficient.
3. Fastest wireless is 5ghz but it has very short range.. you need to be up close and personal to get it working.
Apple routers however unless you do manual setup I suggest are set to connect to best signal strength not best speed. It will therefore use 2.4ghz at 25% less speed than 5ghz because it is 1db better signal.. this madness means you need to setup manually for the best setup.

I can't connect my WD to time capsule

hello, i've a problem, my WD "my book for Mac" don't connect to time capsule usb port.
When i try to connect to time capsule, airport app tell me the following: Must repair the disk.
How i can connect my WD to time capsule??
Best regards.
Pedro Pino

What TC model and firmware is it?
WD mybook are generally ok.. but the unpowered type will have problems.. you need a powered hub.
And some of the older TC will not handle all versions of some products.. WD keep changing them around.
It is often hard to figure out what works and what doesn't.
I am trying to assemble a database here.
USB drive compatibility with Airport Routers. Help make database.

I can Connect my iPhone to Time Capsule network, but I Cant get internett on it??

Download 5.6 utility for Lion.. inbuilt version is hopeless.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Set TC and wireless names to short, no spaces, no special characters.. ie pure alphanumeric.
Lock the wireless to fixed channels.. only 2.4ghz matters.. as iphone cannot connect to 5ghz.
Try 6, 11 first then 1. I think bluetooth may be set to use lower channels.
That seems to have fixed it for most people.

OK to connect a Mac to Time Capsule simultaneously by wifi and cable?

I just added macbook to my airport network hosted by a time capsule. Next, I want to run an initial time machine backup of macbook onto the time capsule via an ethernet connection.
Should I shut off airport on the macbook before wiring it to the time capsule? Or can the software happily handle two simultaneous connections between newmac the time capsule, one wireless, the other wired? If so, is Time Machine smart enough to realize that it should use the faster wired connection?
Thanks!
Tom

Connected my printer to time capsule how do i get it to work on my computer

i am trying to connect my printer so that everyone can print to it. i connected it to the time capsule, hoew do i get my mac to recongize it

We don't know.....and you do not indicate.....whether your printer connects to the Time Capsule......
Using wireless?
Using Ethernet?
Using USB?
Would be helpful as well if you could provide the make and model number of the printer.

How to connect Brother HL2270DW to Time Capsule wi-fi

How to connect Brother HL2270DW to Time Capsule wi-fi?

Well,
1. tried (vide setup manual for the printer) letting the printer find the wi-fi:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/us/us_ot/en/faq/faq/000000/00200 0/000037/faq002037_011.html?reg=us&c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=hl2270dw_all#ForMac
Didn't work.
2. Then discovered, by clicking around, under Airport utility > Base station > Add WPS Printer that
"There are two ways you can allow a WPS printer to join your password-protected network without entering a password. You can either enter a PIN for the printer, or allow access to the first printer that attempts to join you network.
Before trying either, brought the printer physically close with the Time Capsule (within 2 meters)
Tried the "First attempt" option first. Failed.
Then, miraculously, out of the printer came a sheet with a 8 digit PIN code on it. Which enabled trying the 2nd option "Allow WPS printer by: PIN".
Entered PIN and Continue, but to no awail.
Final attempt was made by connecting the printer to the USB port of the T.C. That generated a fresh printout with another 8-digit PIN. Which was duly entered, again with no result.
Am at my wits end. Anything else that could make the twain meet and restore normalcy in this all too Apple-dependent house?

Can I connect my Airport Extreme Time Capsule via ethernet to another router (non-Apple)?

I've been trying to figure this out for a few hours and have gotten nowhere. I have an Archer C7 AC1750 router set up in my office, connected to my Zoom 5341 DOCSIS 3.0 Modem; this has been my main router and has worked fine. I have moved some things around and now have my PS3 and PS4 in my master bedroom but can no longer hook them up via ethernet to the Archer C7. I have run ethernet through the attic into the master bedroom and want to use my Airport Extreme Time Capsule as a way to hook up the consoles via ethernet. If I can use the Airport Extreme to extend my wireless network back to the bedrooms that is even better, although that is an afterthought.
I am not sure what the settings need to be to make this happen. I have searched and tried a number of things but have not found a working solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please start over with a default reset on the Time Capsule. This will not affect any of the stored data that you might have on the drive. You can use the same device name and password that you used before if you wish.
Power up the Time Capsule for a few minutes. Then hold in the reset button firmly for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Make sure that the Ethernet cable connection from the Archer router connects to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
Open up AirPort Utility
Click on Other WiFi Devices
Click on Time Capsule xxxxxx
AirPort Utility will suggest a setup, which you want to ignore
Instead, click the Other Options button
Select the Create a new wireless network setting and click Next
In the Network Name box, enter the exact name of your Archer wireless network
In the Base Station name box, enter a name that you want to use for the Time Capsule device
Uncheck the box to use a single password
In the Network Password box, enter the password for the Archer wireless network
Verify on the next line
In the Base Staion box, enter a password that you want to use as a device password for the Time Capsule
Verify on the next line
Click Next and wait while the AirPort Utility creates a network
Ignore the step about unplugging the modem and click Next
Do not enable the Guest Network option and click Next
Wait while the network is being set up. When you see the message that the wireless network is available, click Done
The Time Capsule will now appear in AirPort Utility with a blinking amber light
Click on the Time Capsule icon, and then click on Edit in the next small box that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the window
Change the setting for Router Mode from DHCP and NAT to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update at the lower right and click Continue
Wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart and you should have a green light
It would be an excellent idea to power off both the Time Capsule and Archer router now, wait a minute, then start the Archer router and let it run a minute. Then, start the Time Capsule up and give it a minute
You should be all set. The Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are now operable and the wireless network has been extended using AES encryption.

External usb drive doesn't appear correctly connected via usb to Time Capsule

After using it successfully for months over my home LAN by connecting it via FW800 (and suing filesharing) to a stationary MacBook Pro, I'm attempting to connect a 2 TB Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000 hard drive (in a Rosewill quad-interface enclosure with Oxford semiconductor bridge chip) via USB cable to my third-generation Time Capsule. It is formatted as HFS+ with a GUID partition table.
It appears in Airport Utility and mounts correctly, but none of its folders appears. Have tried two different USB cables with the same results.
Any ideas as to what could be wrong?

So do I. I have a 350 GB Maxtor One Touch external harddrive. When I boot the mac, the drive doesn't show. And if I run the AirPort Disk Utility, it shows by name. But no matter what settings I chose, it doesn't mount and it says "No Disk Found" in the menu.
But here comes the interesting bit: If I turn off the harddrive, and turn it back on again, AirPort Disk Utility finds it. So I think the problem has to do with the harddrive spinning down and going into sleep-mode. For some reason it seems to become invisible to the Extreme-box when doing so. But if that's correct, what the heck do I do about it?

Can't connect Drobo 5D to Time Capsule

Hi,
I have just purchased a Drobo 5D and want to be able to connect it to the USB port on the back of my Time Capsule and use it as a Network Drive.
I also want to be able to use Time Machine to back up to the attached drive.
My first and main problem is that the Drobo drive doesn't seem to be visible when I attach it to the Time Capsule. Under the 'Disks' tab in Airport Utility 5.6 I can only see the Time Capsule device and its default partition.
However, when I attach the Drobo via USB directly to my MacBook Pro there is no problem, the drive mounts and I can use Time Machine to back up to it.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael.

I also had/have a problem with my Drobo connecting to my Time Capsule (TC).
I had always had no problem connecting a external drive to the TC, but once I got the Drobo (5D) it would never "see" the Drobo.
The TC would also have no problem seeing/sharing the external [2TB] drive within itself.
I then "experimented" with the Drobo by purchasing a brand new Airport Express (the one that now does "ac" signals), and found that it DOES INDEED see the Drobo - this would therefore led to the TC being the problem (I have the older, 2nd gen TC, built in 2009).
One more item I don't want to forget - initially the new Express did NOT see the Drobo, but once I checked the "Sharing" box (under Get Info) within my computer it did finally see the Drobo (but the TC never did or would).
I am now in the process of transferring all my data from my TC to the Drobo to try (as one last effort) to TOTALLY [Master] reset and wipe the TC to see if it will eventually see the Drobo. If it doesn't then that would mean either the 2009 TC is just too old (old firmware??) or maybe the TC internal USB is just bad.
I mean, once the new Express saw it [the Drobo], that says it ALL! (that the TC is the issue [bad] and the Drobo OK).
I will try to update this post [if Apple will let me re-enter] after I complete the TC data transfer, reset and wipe.

Cannot connect Airport Express to Time Capsule?

I had an existing wireless network with an Airport Extreme base that was extended with a first generation Airport Express. I replaced the Airport Extreme with Time Capsule because I needed the backup drive. Now I can't get the Express to integrate. When I try to bring it online, it brings everything down. I've reset it back to its defaults and am installing as if its new. The problem is that it brings everything else down. The two are connected via ethernet. For now I've had to take the Express offline until I can find a solution. Any advice?

Welcome to the discussions!
I don't have a solid answer yet to your issue, but would offer a few comments that might help sort things out.
I'm confused by your statement that you are able to extend the 2.4 GHz network, because the dual band TC does not allow the guest network to be extended. Check AirPort Utility - Manual Setup. Click the Wireless tab. I don't have a dual band TC, but I believe if you click the Options button, you will see more info about extending.
While there is a check box next to "Allow this network to be extended" for the main network, there is not a check box for the "Guest" network. It's not there, or least it's not there in the guide that I'm looking at.
I suspect that your computer was picking up the 2.4 GHz network from the TC, not from your Extreme. To verify this, open AirPort Utility again and click on Manual Setup for the TC. On the summary page, note the MAC address for wireless on the TC. Now, do the same thing for the Extreme.
Use your computer now to check things. Hold down the option key and click on the Airport icon at the top of the screen. The MAC address of the device that you are connected to will be displayed.
Have you tried to move the Extreme to a more remote location? You note that you have the two devices, TC and Extreme very close together. As a test, position the Extreme approximately half way between the TC and the area that you want to extend to and see if you can connect with your computer. Check to see if your computer is connecting to the Extreme or the TC by holding down the option key as above.
You have probably already done this, but check on the setup for the Extreme using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup - Wireless tab. There is a check box either on the Wireless page or the Options page to "Allow wireless clients". This must be checked for wireless clients to be able to connect to the the Extreme.
Post back with your findings and we'll try to figure this out.
