How to Setup Airport Time Capsule 802.11AC on Verizon fios

I just got an Airport Time Capsule 802.11AC and i would like to set it up on to my existing verizon fios router as you can't change their router as the cable box works with it does anyone know how to do such a thing?

Setup is amazingly quick and easy, assuming that you connect a permanently installed Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> ports on the Fios router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule, and then use AirPort Utility on your Mac or iPhone/iPad for the setup.
We need to know what operating system you are using on your Mac to provide any specific setup details. Or, let us know if you are going to use an iPhone or iPad for the setup.
The Time Capsule will set up another wireless network, so if  you do not need two networks, you can turn off the wireless on either the FIos or Time Capsule. If you decide to have two networks, be sure to separate the Fios router and Time Capsule by 5-6 feet or a few meters.....to minimize the chances of wireless interference occurring between the two devices.

  • How to setup airport time capsule to get better performance?

    I need to set up my wireless system with my new Airport time capsule 3T as primary base station to get better performance, and  If I have a cable modem  as primary device to get the signal (5MB) from the ISP then my network has one, Macbook pro, Macbook air, mac mini, 2 ipad's, 2 iphones, but neither of them is connected all time.
    What is the best way to do that?
    What wifi channel need choose to?

    What is the best way to do that?
    Use ethernet.. performance of wireless is never as good as ethernet.
    What wifi channel need choose to?
    There is no such thing as the best channel..
    Leave everything auto.. and see if it gives you full download speed.
    Use 5ghz.. and keep everything up close to the TC for the best wireless speed.
    If you are far away it will drop back to 2.4ghz which is slower.
    Once you reach the internet speed nothing is going to help it go faster so you are worrying about nothing.

  • How to setup AirPort Time Capsule with static IP?

    Untill few days ago I have been using Airport Extreme as router for my network. It was cabled to the modem from my internet-provider.
    I had 2 printers, 1 iMac, 1 MB-Pro, several SONOS-devices, iPhone, Loewe-TV and iPad setup for it.
    AND IT HAS BEEN WORKING GREAT FOR MORE THAN 4 years
    Then I bought my new Time Capsule:
    It is connected in the same way as the Extreme but now via a static IPadress.
    The Airport-Utility says that I am using these set-ups:
    Internet - connection "DHCP"
    Network - "DCHP+NAT"
    The STATUS is:
    "DOBB. NAT"-message at the Airport-utility.
    Internet-connection is VERY-good and with high-speed.
    I am NOT able to get connection to the TV - it shows 100% connection but will NOT allow me to connect to it (password IS correct:-)
    It is only possible to get connected to the one SONOS Play:5 which is connected to the Internet - all the other devices can only be connected when I change the network-setting in AirportUtility from "DCHP+NAT" to "OFF (bridge)".
    I have been told that when I am using a static IP-adress for my Airport then "DCHP+NAT" is the right setting in order to make the Airport set-up dynamic-adresses for the wireless connected devices.
    I am not very-clever in this - but an old man who wants to get the right advice from a clever-person in order to find a solution.
    ANYONE inhere who wants to help me?
    THANK YOU in advance,

    I am unclear as to what has a static IP address. And why did you change the setup.. Would it not have worked in exactly the same way as the Extreme?
    Is the static address in the WAN setup or the LAN side setup?
    Lan side it should be fine.. WAN side is not fine. There are strict rules to apply to using static IP on WAN.
    If you can fill that in, it will help me understand the rest.
    Also have you updated the firmware in the TC yet? As soon as you have a WAN connection please do a firmware update as there are major issues with SONOS.. which requires Spanning Tree Protocol to work. Apple bungled that one in the first firmware of the TC.. so you must have 7.7.2 and I am not sure it is fully repaired even in that.
    I hope you did not reset your AE yet.. sometimes it is better to stick with what works and use the TC in bridge to it.

  • How to use airport time capsule with multiple computers?

    I'm sure there are some thread about this but i couldn't find it... so sorry for that but hear me out! =)
    I bought the AirPort Time Capsule to back up my MBP
    And so i did.
    then i thought "let give this one a fresh start" so i erased all of it with the disk utility and re-installed the MBP from the recovery disk.
    I dont want all of the stuff i backed up just a few files and some pictures so i brought that back.. so far so good.
    Now i want to do a new back up of my MBP so i open time machine settings, pick the drive on the time capsule and then "Choose" i wait for the beck up to begin, and then it fails.  It says (sorry for my bad english, im swedish haha) "the mount /Volume/Data-1/StiflersMBP.sparsebundle is already in use for back up.
    this is what i want:
    i want the "StiflersMBP.sparsebundle" to just be so i can get some stuf when i need them. it's never to be erased.
    i want to make a new back up of my MBP as if it's a second computer...
    so guys and girls, what is the easiest and best solution?
    Best regards!

  • How to setup apple time capsule with FIOSinternet and VZ router?)

    Hello,
    I have Apple time capsule and the VZ Router MI424WR. I current set up:
    1. VZ router - wireless off, the rest is standard
    2. Time capsule: Wireless on in Bridge mode
    Result: Internet works but the wireless network is very in-stable. Airtunes is nearly not usable.
    I searched in the Internet and there was several comments that is is not a good combination. Therefore it is recommended to convert the VZ router in a modem mode and use only the Time capsule as the router. I tried this several times I do not get it to work. I followed this procedure (http://data.agaric.com/node/2160) but then I need the PPPoE Account number and password. But there do I get this? The Verizon support was not really helpful.
    Please, is there a good and complete description to solve that issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Moebius

    Go back to your first setup ...
    Verizon router with wireless turned off
    Apple Time Casule with wireless turned on
    Method 1:
    With the Time Capsule in "Bridge Mode", if I remember correctly, you should connect the WAN port to one of the open ports on the Verizon router (I believe bridge mode also turns off the DHCP server on the Time Capsule, if not, find that and turn if off as well).   Change the addressing mode for the Time Capsule to "static" and assign it an address on the LAN which is not in use (choose something you know is out of the way but on the LAN -- I suggest 192.168.1.180 to start -- you can change it once you get everything working).
    If it doesn't work this way for you, move the cable from the WAN port on the Time Capsule to Port 1 and try again.
    Method 2:
    This results in a router behind a router setup, but unless you have devices connected directly to the Verizon router, it shouldn't be a problem.  
    With the Time Capsule disconnected from the Verizon router, turn on "Connection Sharing" (not bridge mode) and make sure DHCP is enabled on the Time Capsule.  You need to change the address range being used by the Time Capsule (which I think defaults to 192.168.1.x to another network -- I suggest, 192.168.2.x with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and give the router an address of 192.168.2.1 on the LAN side.  Now, connection the WAN port to one of the Verizon router LAN ports.  If you had anything connected to the Verizon LAN ports, move those over to the LAN ports on the Time Capsule and reboot them.
    Method 3:
    This is the least desirable of the scenarios because it relies on Verizon's crappy radio in their router (the Time Capsule has a much better radio and support 802.11n as well as b and g) whereas Verizon's only support b/g.    Go back to the configuration for Method 1, but also turn OFF wireless on the Time Capsule and turn on wireless on the Verizon router.   Try both bridge scenarios described -- using the WAN port first and if that didn't work, then moving the connection to port 1.
    There is no scenario where you can place the Verizon router behind the Time Capsule -- since I believe Verizon is using all MoCA connections for the WAN side of their connection (you'd have to get Verizon to convert you to ethernet WAN and then they would not support you most likely for any STB issues with your FiOS if the Time Capsule was between the ONT and their router ... so don't even bother wasting time there ... more headaches than it would be worth.
    If you're still not sure exactly what each configuration screen on the time capsule should say, post some screen snaps (or the configuration settings/choices which you are unsure about and someone will likely know the answer here).

  • How to add Airport Time Capsule to an existing AT&T U-Verse Network?

    Hello, and please bear with me as I am not very tech savvy I just purchased a 2TB Airport Time Capsule (5th Gen) because I'd like to backup my Macbook Pro wirelessly. I've tried customer service with my ISP without luck, AT&T U-Verse. I currently connect through a 3801HGV 2wire dsl modem/router and think I'm stuck using it since numerous other devices are hooked up through it and I'd rather not re-setup them up.
    I'm having issues connecting the TC to my existing network. When I use the Airport Utility (tried both while TC is hardwired to my computer, and to the router/modem) it doesn't detect my 2wire network, another network I assume is my neighbor's.
    From reading through other posts with similar issues it sounds like I can't use the Airport TC to extend my existing network, say if the U-Verse router was upstairs, Airport TC was downstairs is that correct? Do I have to hardwire the TC to the router/modem?  I've found some screen captures of the Airport Utility but I cannot find them. I noticed that they were pre-Maverick screenshots so perhaps the menus have changed?

    Do I have to hardwire the TC to the router/modem?
    Yes.
    Connect an Ethernet cable from a LAN <-> port on the Uverse gateway to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
    Power up the TIme Capsule (TC) and let it run few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the back of the device for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the TC to restart, at which time it will be slowly blinking amber.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Other Wi-Fi Devices tab at the upper left corner of the screen
    Click on the Time Capsule now and AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analze the network.
    Click on Other Options at the lower left of the window
    Click the button next to Create a new network
    Enter a name for the network and a name for the TC and a password and click Next
    Skip the step about cycling power on the modem
    Wait while AirPort Setup sets up the TC, then click Done
    Now click on the TC icon in AirPort Utility
    Click Edit in the small window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Change the setting for Router Mode to Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update at the lower right of the screen, then click Continue and wait for the TC to restart again
    You should now have a green light on the TC
    You can use either the Uverse wireless network or the TC wireless.  If you want the best wireless performance, use the TC network.

  • How to configure Airport Time Capsule with IP Camera?

    I have recently switched from a DLINK Router (DIR-655) to the latest 3TB Airport Time Capsule. The ATC works great, super fast etc...
    However...
    I had an IP Camera (Trendnet TV-IP572-WI) connected to my DLINK Router, using a Dynamic DNS account (dyndns) to access if from outside my home (i.e. from the Internet). The configuration on the DLINK was quite straightforward. (Virtual Server)
    Question: How to do the same with Airport Time Capsule ?  I had a look at the detailed settings menu in the Airport Configuration Utility. but cannot find anything like this (Virtual Server, Port Forwarding etc...)
    Many thanks for your help !

    What is the make and model number of your "modem"?
    Most modems these days are actually modem/routers or gateway devices....which would require that the port forwarding be done on the "modem"....not on the Time Capsule.
    If you did not see any settings for DHCP Reservations and Port Settings when you looked around in AirPort Utility, this indicates that the Time Capsule is likely configured to operate in Bridge Mode.......and it is your "modem" that is actually the router for the network.
    Open up AirPort Utility again, click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the window
    Check the setting for Router Mode.......which is likely set to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Is it?

  • How to use Airport Time Capsule as a wireless hard drive?

    I have purchased the Airport Time Capsule 3TB but I really don't need a backup disk, so I want to use it as a wireless hard disk to be used in my network, how can I do this?  Can someone give me a clear step by step guide of how I can do this?
    I appreciate your help and support.

    There is no difference between using the TC as a backup or as a network disk.
    Mount the disk in finder.
    Copy files to it and from it.. in exactly the same way you copy files between disks in a Mac.
    As a file store the TC is not good.
    Store files on the TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
    5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
    Read pondini for some work arounds.

  • How to use AirPort Time Capsule 2TB as an external storage hard drive only?

    I have a new AirPort Time Capsule 3TB, now I want to use my AirPort Time Capsule 2TB as an external storage hard drive only, how do I it? 
    I would like to  connect the AirPort Time Capsule 2TB directly to my Mac Pro. using OS X 10.7.5.
    I have erase disk and reset the 2TB to factory default, after that, I cannot make it to connect to my Mac.  Please help.

    The 2TB Time Capsule needs to connect to your 3TB Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
    Connect from a LAN <--> port on the 3 TB Time Capsule to the WAN "O" port on the 2 TB Time Capsule and configure the 2TB Time Capsule in Bridge Mode and turn off the wireless function on the device as well.
    Once that is done, you can connect your Mac directly to the 2TB Time Capsule using another Ethernet cable, or your Mac can connect to the network using the normal wireless network, if you prefer.

  • How to connect airport time capsule through wireless internet

    Just purchased an Airport Time Capsule but having trouble to connect it through my Macbook Air using wireless. Could you please help? many thanks

    Make sure the MBA has ipv6 set to link-local only for wireless.
    I strongly recommend using short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    eg TCgen5 and TCwifi
    In fact if you keep having wireless issues.. with the MBA in the same room as the TC, change the wireless name to TC24ghz and TC5ghz so you have different names for both bands and see if that doesn't help.. try to connect to this band and then the other.
    Use WPA2 personal security.. password 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    Do not hide the wireless.. that is against the code and simply leads to issues.
    If you still have issues.. post back.. does the MBA work ok on other routers or wireless access points??

  • How to connect Airport Time Capsule to WD Live TV

    I recently bought an Airport Time Capsule with 2tb storage. I am wanting to access the media files I save to the Time Capsule on my WD TV Live. I have tried doing wirelessly and it works but if I shut my computer it disconnects and wont automatically connect to it even if my computer is open. I keep having to delete and readd the Time Capsule as a media share server everytime I want to access the files. What am I doing wrong???
    The bigger question I had is since the Time Capsule has a USB port and so does the WD TV, can I just connect them and access the files via usb to usb??? I dont mind using wifi to connect but if it can be done I would rather connect without wifi so that if my internet goes on the fritz I can still watch movies and stuff from the time capsule hard drive.
    Thank you all for any and all help!!!

    The media files on the TC are in what format? WD Live can read almost any format but it cannot read iTunes Libraries.
    There is a fairly long discussion already on getting WD to read movies from a TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5226379?start=0&tstart=0
    Note the info there.
    eg SMB naming for the TC.. this is most important. Standard Apple names will be problematic at best.. useless and non-functional at worst. Make sure the WD Live sees everything in the network with standard windows names.
    The bigger question I had is since the Time Capsule has a USB port and so does the WD TV, can I just connect them and access the files via usb to usb???
    No, you cannot do that. The USB on the TC is for plugging in a printer or a hard disk. It has no access whatsoever to the internal disk.
    However the WD live can present its USB disk to the network. So if you simply plug a USB hard disk into the WD live. And you can then copy your movies to the WD over ethernet or wifi (ethernet is obviously faster) but once on the USB drive then it won't matter if the internet is off or even the local LAN and wifi is off as the WD can still play the movies. IMHO that is the best way to do it.
