Slingbox, Time Capsule and Verizon router setup

So here is my setup:
Verizon router with wireless ON. Time capsule set to share an IP address(not in Bridge mode). This gives me the double NAT error message.
Sling catcher hooked into the Time capsule on one end and to the Slingbox on the other.
So, I hooked the slingbox up to the verizon router, configured it. Then hooked the sling catcher to the TM and ran setup again. Set up port forwarding per the instructions. Things seem to work fine, although under the slingbox directory it says that I am not set up for internet viewing.
However, i CAN connect via wifi and over 3g on my iphone fine. With WIFI, I am using my Time capule for wireless not the verizon wifi. The last time I tried to turn off the verizon wifi i don't think the slingbox worked. The last time I tried to set up the time capule under bridge mode the slingbox did not work. If I am in bridge mode there is no option to setup port forwarding.
So I know that my setup is not correct but it is working. The problem is the speeds. I have a slingbox pro- getting about 1200-1400 kbs over the internet, and about 500-550 over wifi on the iphone. I'm getting about 450-550 over 3g on the iphone. This seems too slow.
Any suggestions?

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
Very important......
Power off both the Verizon modem/router and the Time Capsule
Wait a minute or two
Start up the Verizon modem/router first and allow it to run a full minute
Then start up the Time Capsule

Time Capsule and Linksys Router Issues

The internet cable is connected to the WAN port and the Time Capsule is connected is to one of the ports of the Linksys router. I can successfully backup my MacPro and use the internet for Mail and Safari.
I want to take advantage of the high speed ethernet performance of Time Capsule. However, I don't know if the Time Capsule is really faster than my Linksys router. Where do I get this information? I suspect the Time Capsule is much faster because I just purchased the Time Capsule. The router is at least 5 years old.
In spite my concern about the speeds of the Time Capsule and Linksys router, I tried to attach the Time capsule as recommended by Apple for a "first time set up." It failed. The Time Capsule using the AirPort Utility cannot make a network connection. I reestablished the devices as given in paragraph one. WiFi runs again.

Ethernet speed on your local network is determined by the slowest connected device which most likely will be the LinkSys router or your computer.

Time Capsule and Verizon FIOS

A few years ago my Actiontec router for Verizon FIOS died and they wanted me to pay for another one. Instead of buying a new Actiontec router I bought a Time Capule. I have had no problems until yesterday. My time capsule had a solid amber color and the amber color did not go away no matter what I did. I took ethernet cable from the Time Capsule and plugged it into my iMac and I no problems accessing the internet.
I should not have to set up a PPoE connection because I can remove the ethernet cable from the TC and plug it into my mac directly and access the internet with no problems. (I had Verizon DSL some time ago.)
I went out today an bought a new Time Capsule (4th gen). I came home and plugged the ethernet cable to the WAN Port and turned it on. I ran the airport utility and configured it. The TC rebooted and came up with a green light, but I had a problem. I could not access the internet.
Here are some of my settings taken from the airport utility.
Status: normal
Version 7.5.2
Wireless Mode: create a wireless mode
Allow this network to be extended.
Connect Using: ethernet
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Address: 169.xxx.xxx.xxx ( a real IP Address)
subnet mask: 255.255.255.255
Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
When I look at my network settings when the ethernet cable is plugged directly into my mac, I get these values:
IP Address: 173.xxx.xxx.xxx
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Router: 173.xxx.xxx.xxx
There are DNS entries
I know human error is involved (mine). Did I miss something?

Running a network with Time Capsule and Netgear router - is it possible?

We have an iMac and a Toshiba laptop. I was wondering if it was possible to have a wireless network with a Time Capsule and our Netgear DG834G router. We live in a solid brick house and the Netgear router is upstairs and we find we get very little, if any reception from downstairs. We have just purchased the Time Capsule and we were hoping to move the Netgear downstairs and have the Time Capsule upstairs to get reception all over the house. Is running a network like this possible, and if it is, how do we do it. Both the iMac and the laptop need to be able to connect. Thanks in advance.

Time Capsule and Verizon Fios 9100EM Router

I am looking for fairly detailed instructions on how to turn off the wireless on the verizon router and use the Timecapsule to distribute IP addresses. In other words I want to use my Timecapsule as the main router and connect the verizon box to it as simply the modem. My router from verizon is model 9100EM. I'm not great at this kind of stuff and any help would be great.
Thanks.

Time Capsule and Verizon's FIOS Service

I subscribe to Verizon and use their router to access the internet. I am considering purchasing Time Capsule, but am not sure how I should configure it with Verizon's Actiontec router or will Time Capsule replace it? I would appreciate any advice.

You might get more response to your post from the Time Capsule Forum.

Time Capsule and Cisco router

Will Time Capsule work with a Cisco Router E4200 that is connected to a Worldbook NAS?
I do not need it to serve as a router, only a sytematic backup solution fro all of our Macs in the network. We use the NAS as a company client File store and share internally to our staff.

The TC can be bridged and plonked into the network with no problems.
Decide how you will treat wireless.. you can handle it several different ways.. but completely off might be best. Or if you are buying a new AC model, then turn off the wireless in the E4200 and see if the TC works better.
Or if you have some ethernet cabling.. place the TC in wireless dark area and set it up in roaming profile.
That means you set the same SSID=Wireless name. Same Security WPA2 AES = WPA2 Personal. Same password. But lock channels on both devices.. make sure each is as far apart as possible.. so for example for 2.4ghz wireless set one to channel 1 and the other to channel 11. For 5ghz similarly set them sufficiently far apart that there can be no overlap.

HT1178 Time Capsule and Verizon MiFi?

How do I set up my Time Capsule if the only internet we have is a portable Verizon MiFi?

I believe you cannot. MiFi does not have a USB connection for the external Hartd disc.
You could try to find a wireless Router which has a Lan connection, like this http://www.routeripaddress.com/routers/2012/huawei-d100_default_settings.html

Time Capsule and Linksys router bridging two networks

I have set up a Time Capsule on a small business network and have made use of its dual wifi to set up guest access to the internet separate from our private network. It defaults to IP address 192.168.1.1 which conflicts with a computer that must be assigned that address so I have given it the IP address 192.168.0.1. I was hoping to bridge between the 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x networks using a Linksys BEFSR41 router. I have been able to get internet access from the 192.168.1.x network and port forward to our Windows e-mail server but can't get individual computers to see each other from one network to the other.
Can I set the Time Capsule IP to anything other than x.x.x.1 or alternately use it or another router to bridge two different networks?

Ethernet speed on your local network is determined by the slowest connected device which most likely will be the LinkSys router or your computer.

Time Capsule and Verizon MIFI

I have Verizon MIFI into our home for internet connection. How can I use this with the Apple Time Capsule?
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Check with Verizon for an adapter that would allow the MiFi to connect to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
That is the only way that the Time Capsule can connect.

Time Capsule and SLOW bandwidth with Verizon FIOS?????

Ok I have had verizon FIOS and my time capsule for almost 3 years. All running latest firmware updates (which might be the problem with the TC). For the last couple years it has been a blazing fast setup and I have a ps3, imac, macbook pro, apple tv, iphone, ipad, etc all hooked up to my network.
Then 5 days ago I buy a new Imac and the firmware update for the TC. Now the bandwidth in my house has dropped to crap. I have directly connected to the FIOS router with ethernet and its like 20 megs per second down and10 up, but when I connect my time capsule back up and go from there it is like 4 down and 3 up? It was NEVER like this before....any ideas or suggestions?

Welcome to the discussion area!
Things were fine before two changes occurred on your network. So, it might be logical to try to isolate one thing or the other to arrive at a possible cause for your network slowdown.
You need to completely power cycle the entire network after you make any change on a network, whether that be adding a new device (the iMac) or making another change (the firmware update).
Power everything off...modem, routers, computers, consoles, printers, etc., the order is not important. Wait 5 minutes. Then power up your modem first and let it run for 5 minutes by itself. Power up the next device connected to the modem (probably your Time Capsule) the same way. Power up the next device the same way, etc. until everything is powered back up.
What are your results?
If things are still slow, remove one of the things that you changed on your network...the iMac...by powering it off, restarting your network again (the extended power off above is not necessary) and then checking the network again.
Any change?
If no change on the iMac test, then the other variable on your network is the firmware update. It's unlikely...+but possible+...that the firmware update changed something in the interaction between your Time Capsule and FIOS router, so something is not functioning quite correctly. Things like this can happen with firmware updates because while Apple knows what works among their own products; they cannot know what works in every instance when another product interfaces with one of of theirs.
It should be possible to rollback the firmware on your Time Capsule to the previous version if you want to try that approach. There's no guarantee of course, that this will help either. Post back if you want to try this.

Time Capsule as main router? PLEASE HELP!!!

hi,
i have had a time capsule for about 6 months and have been using it happily. but what i want to do is use this time capsule to replace my sky router. can you actually do this or am i just dreaming? i have tried and tried to do this but seem to get no where fast can someone spend the time and tell me in lames terms how to do this. or a website as i for some reason cannot do this. am i having wrong cables plugged in at wrong times or what.
basically what i want to do is use the time machine feature and for it to backup costantly but i dont want my time capsule and my router running at the same time to save electricity can you do this?
hopefully you get what i mean.
PLEASE HELP

This is a question that is asked during setup by AirPort Utility, but it would not apply in your case, since if you "replaced" the gateway you have (which is a combination modem/router...not simply a router....), you would not have any modem functionality. Your Time Capsule not be able to connect to the Internet.
It may be confusing because 5-6 years ago, everyone used a separate modem and router to connect to the Internet. Some manufacturers began to build device with both a modem and router in the same box. Sky is one of these manufactuers.
The Tme Capsule a a router only with a built in hard drive for backups. It does not have a modem built in.
To connect to the Internet with a Time Capsule, you need a minimum of two devices....a modem and the Time Capsule. Your Sky router is performing the function of a modem for you. If you turn off the Sky device to "save electricity", the Time Capsule will flash amber and you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
Give it a try if you wish. You will see that this is true.

Time Capsule and time machine with third party router

Hi,
This is the first time I use this site.
I have over three years old Mackbook.
APP has expired.
Now I want to know how to set up time capsule in a new environment.
I moved from Australian and Singapore.
I was using Time Capsule and Airport Extreme in Australia.
I have moved to Singapore.
I am using router provided by Singtell(Singapore Telecommunication). I do not have an Airport Extreme anymore. My housemate and I are using wireless internet-sharing. Needless to say that internet provider is SingTell.
Now I would like to know how to use time capsule and time machine with the network created with a router provided by SingTell.
What I did so far is;
Connected the time capsule to the power point.
Orange lamp lit and flashed for a few second and stop. Orange lamp stayed on.
Apple Utility does not recognise Time Capsule.
I prefer to use it wirelessly.
There are only two USB cable ports installed.
One is used to synchronize iPhone.
Other is used for a printer.
but if it is not possible, wired would be OK.
MacBook 13 inch 2.0 GH Late 2006
I hope that someone able to give me an answer for this.
Cheers,

In this case the apple support people reveal a truly poor understanding.
You must bridge something.. you either bridge the TC.. which 90% of people do.. or you bridge the dsl router.. which some people do manage to do.. You will have to look that up for your modem and check with verizon if they support pppoe authentication.
IMHO just bridge the TC as you were told not to do.. as they are simply wrong about that.
If you already tried this and it didn't work.. try again.. it is the correct approach.
You have no choice. But this time let me suggest you do it using the 5.6 airport utility.. as the apple toyland v6 airport utility is likely half your trouble.
So here is how to get the utility into your computer.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4668746?tstart=0
Then open the manual setup on the 5.6 utility.. go to internet tab. Connection sharing.. off bridged mode.
Select this and update..
Then all your IP addresses will be wrong.. I suspect this is where things are going wrong.. and messing you up.
Once the TC is bridged.. turn off everything and restart.. in correct order.. modem.. TC.. client computers etc. 2min gap between each.

I just moved and wireless internet is now provided for me. I am not using my Time Capsule as a router anymore but can I still use it as my storage device wirelessly? So far I cannot get it to work. Please help.

Hi,
I just moved to a new place. I used to have my own internet setup and used my Airport Time Capsule as my router. Now that I don't need to use it as a router I would still like to use it as a storage device for my pictures. Can I still do that wirelessly or do I have to plug it into my computer? And if I do (which would really be crumby) do I just use a USB cable?
Please help. I have a lot of work stored on it and I am feeling pretty stuck at the moment.
Thank you,
Charlie

You can use your Time Capsule in your new network in a number of ways. One would be as a NAS device which I believe you are looking to do.
To do so, you would connect the TC to the new router by Ethernet. You would also want to reconfigure the TC as a bridge and disable its wireless radios.
You can do both of these using the AirPort Utility, as follows:
Run the AirPort Utility.
Select the TC, and then, select Edit.
Select the Network tab.
Change Router Mode to: Off (Bridge Mode)
Select the Wireless tab.
Change Network Mode to: Off
Select Update and allow the TC to restart.

I bought 2 mac book pros and have time capsule connected to router. Both computers can see time capsule but i can not see other computers.

I bought 2 mac book pros. At home i already had a network with a timecapsule connected to a router and a windows xp lap top connected to it. When i turned both macs on i was able to see the time capsule and the windows xp computer HOWEVER neither mac could see each other......any help would be appreciated.
Nick

Thanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick
