Time Capsule Internet connection issues??

I just got a new time capsule and it works great with my computer. Im trying to connect another computer to it and it connects to the wireless but says it is not assigned an IP address so it wont go online. But i know that the TC has connectivity because i'm using it with my other computer. Please Help! probably something easy..

If you don't have full admin access to the computer then there is nothing much you can do about anything.
If your connection is not "home" then the firewall can block you..
I did ask the question.. do you get internet ok before you turn on the VPN?? If so as per Tesserax comment.. it is a setting in the VPN. And it sounds like there is nothing you can do about it anyway. If you cannot get internet no matter if the vpn is on or off.. then the computers firewall is blocking you. Turn off the firewall if you have sufficient privileges to do so.. otherwise.. put the Asus back and bridge the TC to it. There is nothing wrong with that setup.. !!
As a general piece of advice should I just keep my former Asus router and use the TC for backup only, or can this be fixed and is it a better router?
Since you have not given us specifics for the Asus we cannot offer any opinion on its comparative worth vs the TC. But Apple routers are great for Apple networks.. they are much less good for PC networking.. especially things like upnp are missing. The best is what works. If it doesn't work and you don't have admin access on the PC.. then for now, you are better returning to the setup that works.

Time capsule wifi connectivity issues -apple tv 2 constantly disconnects from time capsule

Having ongoing issues with Time capsule wifi connectivity throughout house.
Apple TV II and PS3 losing wifi connection on a regular basis causing movies/music/gaming to be interupted.
Anyone have same issues and found a solution?

I bought a Time Capsule this weekend and was having a similar problem whereby my MacBook Pro would disconnect regularly from the wi-fi signal. Previously my MacBook Pro held connection permanently to the previous router fine. It was a pain as I couldn't leave things like SugarSync / Dropbox running as they kept disconnecting. I seem to have fixed it though by using AirPort to manually set the 2.4Ghz channel to a hard-wired value (Manual Set-up->AirPort->Wireless->Radio Channel Selection->Edit ....) rather than letting it automatically select the channel. I used iStumbler to choose a channel that was not congested in my area. I'm hazarding a guess that maybe when the signal went weak for a second, it changed the channel when set to automatic and so knocked out any connections.
Well, it worked for me.

After installing Time Capsule internet connection slow

Since I installed Time Capsule on my Mac, my internet connection started acting up. The web browsing is VERY SLOW, and applications that are web-based no longer work properly. For instance, I have an EyeFi Wireless Explore SD card and the related EyeFi Manager software that allows me to wirelessly transfer my photos on the eyefi card to the eyefi website, as well as my photo service (Kodak Gallery or Flickr) and also transfers the photos to my Mac. Before I set up my Time Capsule, the eyefi system worked flawlessly. Now the uploads hang up and do not complete. I also have very slow progress trying to use my webmail, or loading webpages in general. I use the Safari browser.
My Time Capsule is set up as a separate wireless network, so I access the internet thru my original home wireless network. Is anyone having the same issues after installing Time Capsule, and does anyone have a solution?

Try doing a Safe Mode reboot by holding down the Shift key when you hear the start-up tone. When the progress bar appears you can release the key. A Safe Reboot will clear some of the caches, it's possible one became corrupt. If that doesn't work do both a SMC and PRAM reset, you may need to do each 2-3x.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Time capsule - internet connection problem via wireless

Hi all - I've browsed around many other similar threads about people having difficulties with their Time Capsules, and although some of the problems I'm experiencing are similar, there's a few interesting oddities that other questions don't address or solve.
I have a 1TB Time Capsule that's acting as a router for my network. It's connected via the WAN port to a Netgear DG632 modem/router (in modem mode) that is set up with a static IP address and the DNS server for my ISP. The TC is also set up with these same static IP/DNS details, and is set to share the one public IP address.
The TC serves up DHCP addresses to the LAN devices via a mixture of ethernet (to a G4 Mac mini and to a Linux-based MythTV machine) and wireless (to a couple of 802.11g Airport expresses, a C2D Macbook using OSX Leopard and Windows XP, an iPhone and a Wii).
Everything on the LAN is happy, gets a unique IP address, can see the other devices, and can see the USB hard drives that are connected to the TC.
The weird behaviour comes when things try to actually connect to the internet.
Anything that connects via ethernet to the TC works perfectly. Connecting wirelessly however doesn't work properly - but not in a simple binary working/not-working manner...
If I connect wirelessly, I can do any of the usual network diagnostic things - e.g. Ping, Traceroute, etc. and data gets through and back, using IP address or actual site names.
I can download mail (via the standard Mail application, v3.5, from Gmail using IMAP)
I can even load secure webpages (i.e. those that use https, such as https://mail.google.com)
What I CANNOT do however is load any "normal" webpages (e.g. http://mail.google.com)
When loading a webpage, there is a brief period of data transfer (e.g. Camino reports "looking up ...", "connecting to ...", "waiting for ...") and then it just stops, and eventually the browser times out.
Other problems that people have reported have been solved by changing the DNS servers used - either to specify their ISP ones directly, or to use something like OpenDNS. My problem doesn't seem to be related to the DNS servers - to my mind, this sounds like some kind of outgoing port-blocking, but there ain't no such beastie on the TC as far as I'm aware, and since it is only happening on any device that connects wirelessly I'm pretty confident that I can rule out any local settings on a particular machine, or any settings on the modem.
I've tried several things to try and fix this, as follows:
Reset TC and modem
Factory-reset TC and set up again
Downgrade TC to 7.3.1 and set up again
Re-upgrade TC to 7.3.2 and set up again
Remove all wireless security (usually use WPA/WPA2 Personal)
Change wireless mode from 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) to 802.11n only (2.4GHz)
Change wireless mode from 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) to 802.11n only (5GHz)
Change wireless channel (Automatic, 6, 11)
Obviously none of that worked, so can anyone think of anything else that I can try and change to get this working?
For what it's worth, everything was happy until Thursday last week (11th Dec) and the only thing that I changed was an upgrade to Safari on the Mac mini, which seems extremely unlikely to have been responsible for causing such pain and anguish!
Thanks for bearing with me through all this - hopefully I've covered off all of the basics already, but I'm now not sure where that leaves me...
Cheers!

Something somehow fixed the problem a couple of days after my post - although I didn't know what triggered it (like I don't know what triggered the failure). I changed my set-up so that the Time Capsule was just a wireless bridge, and used the DG632 as the router and DHCP server - and obviously something worked OK.
Unfortunately the same problem happened again the day before yesterday, and after roping in the help of my ISP I determined that there wasn't a problem with the connection outside my LAN, so it was obviously something weird with my set-up.
After much frustration, rebooting, resetting, and fiddling, I spotted that occasionally a small burst of data would be received - perhaps enough to load an icon or small image - before everything froze up. On a hunch, I started playing with the MTU - and glory be! After the MTU is reduced from the default/automatic 1500 to 1458 everything works perfectly... except the Time Capsule no longer shows up!!! ARGH!!
I don't even recall ever seeing an MTU setting on the Time Capsule, and there definitely isn't one on the DG632 (don't most recent devices not require MTU tweaks? They just pass on the whole packet as-is?) so I've got no idea how to get around this issue now.
So much for stuff just working

Time Capsule Internet Timeout Issues

I have had a 1 TB Time Capsule (TC) for a little over a year now with no issues. Within the past month I have been having issues with my internet failing to load webpages initially. I have to reload the page 2 or 3 times. It happened occasionally at first, but it is now fairly persistent. No issues occur when the ethernet cord is plugged directly into the computer. I have a MacBook Pro, iMac, and 2 iPhones. The problem is more pronounced on the 2 computers. I have tried adjusting various TC settings, including manually selecting wireless channels, using only the 2.4 ghz network, restoring factory settings, and adding DNS servers as was suggested in other postings, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what might be causing this issue and what I can do to resolve the problem?

mac_bliss wrote:
The problem persists whenever the TC is involved in providing the internet connection (either wirelessly or through ethernet cord).
That does point a finger at the Time Capsule.
Is there any further diagnostic tests I can perform to pinpoint the issue and/or resolve?
You might learn something from the Time Capsule's logs. To see them, launch AirPort Utility and put the Time Capsule into "manual setup" mode. Pull down the "Base Station" menu bar item and select "Logs and Statistics". If it's not already selected, then select the "Logs" tab. The main point of looking in the logs is to learn whether the Time Capsule notices that there's a problem by noting whether there's a logged message at the time you're having trouble loading a Web page.
If any case, I'm running out of suggestions for helping you.

Time Capsule WiFi Connection Issues. Help please.

I'm hoping someone might have some ideas about what could have caused a connection problem I've had since this morning.
So I setup a WiFi network with Time Capsule a couple of weeks ago in order to do back ups and set up wirless printing but I was told I needed to put my wireless modem into Bridge Mode. So this morning I did that, rebooted the modem as instructed, made sure all power connections and the LAN connection between Time Capsule and my modem were securely connected. On my Mac I was able to log on to my Time Capsule WiFi network and access the internet (there was no wired connection to my Mac, I definitely connected through the WiFi), but I was unable to even log in to the network with my iPhone, Apple TV nor with my daughter's laptop. Only my Mac was able to connect. I downloaded Airport Utility and checked every setting to see if I need to share or enable other connections, I couldn't see anything.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? I'm not overy tech savvy although hands on I can usually figure things out fairly well and get them working but this has me stumped.

I presume it worked fine for the two weeks..
until
but I was told I needed to put my wireless modem into Bridge Mode.
And that messed things up.. because you are now in the wrong setup on the TC.
I have to say.. a. what you were told ain't necessarily so.
And b. having messed up your existing setup.. need to change the setup of the TC so it will work.
I am not sure what modem router you have .. or what or how it works in bridge.. but guessing from your current settings..
You need to reset the TC to factory and start over.
The TC must be in router mode.. whereas with the previous setup it should have been in bridge mode.
You will find these settings on the Network tab.. in the utility.
I am just not sure if the internet should be dhcp or something else, ie pppoe, and that will depend on the modem.
I would also note there is absolutely nothing wrong with the setup you did have until you were talked out of it.
The modem can work as router with wireless on or off depending on the network.. and use the TC in bridge mode. It would create a wireless network and can be used for all your items just as well.

Time capsule internet connection

hi all,
i recently installed a TC to my thompson wife dsl modem. so at this stage i have three networks visible, 2.44ghz, 5ghz from my TC and the original signal from the wifi modem (the isp gave me). when i cannect the ipad, laptop etc to the TC the internet connect seems very slow compared to when i connect to the modem. from the details i see that the TC has a 144 mbps connection and the wifi modem at 100 mbps. so theoretically the TC should have a better wifi connection, but NO. the wifi modem seems to perform better ;-(( videos on youtube take ages to load when connected to the TC.
can you please help me to see what am i Doing wrong? is there a particlar setting i need to change from airport utility?
your help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks and regards
aldo

Check the following setting using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Make sure that the setting for Connection Sharing is set to "Off (Bridge Mode"
Update to save any changes
Please post on your findings.

My Time Capsule WiFi connection and internet connection issue

My Time Capsule WiFi connection to other devices works fine, but for some reason it can not connect to the internet only when "it feels like it",it will go in and out showing that its connect (green dot on airport utilities) then literaly the next second it disconnected (showing a yellow dot on airport utility) and it does that continuesly sometimes it stops doing for a couple of hours. I basically did every thing like reseting it, unplugging wait for what ever time, and it still does the same thing. i do have ethernet cable connect to the Time Capsule. Also sometimes my airport utilities say it cant find my Time Capsule (rarely) . So obviously i dont have a clue whats going on. PLEASE HELP
thanks

You have an issue with the local network. Pings to your local network device should be in the order of 5-10ms tops..
Look at your first line.. 2293ms that is over 2sec for the local router to respond.. but it is likely that little box that is the problem. You will get some websites simply time out if they take that long to respond.
Let me recommend you either get some help from ATT or get a local technician to fix it. There are other better ways to connect things.. in the end getting it cabled with ethernet is the best. Buy a long long ethernet cable if you want to have a test.. so you can plug the TC into the modem. Bypass the HPNA over cable slug.

I can't get my airport time capsule to connect to the internet

I can't get my new airport time capsule to connect to the internet. It works fine with my linksys router

We cannot help with that amount of info..
What internet type and modem do you have? Exact modem make and model may help.
Is the linksys router also the modem? You do know there is no modem in the TC?
How is the Linksys authenticating if it is plugged into the modem??
If cable did you shut down the cable modem for at least 20min to change the router.. this is always required with cable system.. often the time is longer.. one hour or overnight even.

Time Capsule Not connecting to internet

Hello. So recently I received a new iMac for Christmas and knowing that my wireless network is setup with MAC address filtering, I used my working laptop to connect to both the Airport Extreme and Time Capsule to add the iMac to the network. That worked and my iMac has been able to connect to the network no problem.
Let me explain what my network setup is before I tell about the problem:
I have the latest generation Airport Extreme (Dual Band II) and a first generation Time Capsule (1TB).
The Airport Extreme is connected to the internet by cable modem and the Airport is the main router sharing a single IP address.
I connected the Time Capsule to the Airport Extreme through Ethernet and set it up automatically with Airport Utility to extend over ethernet.
Now up untill now, I had no problems but since I got my iMac, I haven't been able to ever get a list of the Airport devices connected to the network, while connected to the Time Capsule, however, when connected to the Airport Extreme 5GHz network, I'm having no problems.
And today, the Time Capsule wouldn't connect to the internet over wifi, and all other devices wouldn't either. Of course, I tried to connect to the base station, but Airport Utility wouldn't display any devices connected. This happened with my MacBook as well.
Since connecting to the 5GHz network from the Airport Extreme, I have no problems with internet or Airport Utility. After a while though, the Time Capsule connected to the internet again.
Would someone shed some light on the situation?

I normally use the manual setup mode so I'm not sure what exactly is the end-state when choosing to extend a wireless network with the Time Capsule (TC) connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet.
I am guessing that the AirPort Utility configured the TC as a bridge to allow the AEBSn to still provide both NAT & DHCP services for all wired or wireless clients connected to either router.
Let's start by double-checking some settings on your TC. Please provide the following TC settings from the AirPort Utility:
AirPort Utility > Select the TC > Manual Setup > Time Capsule > Wireless
o Wireless Mode = ?
o Allow this network to be extended = checked or unchecked?
o Radio Mode = ?
o Radio Channel Selection = ?
Time Capsule > Access Control
o MAC Address Access Control = ?
Internet > Internet Connection
o Connect Using = ?
o Connection Sharing = ?
Internet > TCP/IP
o Configure IPv4 = ?

Help! Time Capsule not connected to the Internet

Hi everyone!
I have this problem, and hope someone can help me.
In my house I have this network
Modem/Router Netgear DGN2200 connected via ethernet to Airport Express.
Airport Express is set to create a wireless network, bridge mode.
In the house I also have a Time Capsule set to extend the wireless network, bridge mode.
Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to my TV decoder to have extra services through the Internet.
Ok. All worked fine until a couple of days ago.
Then, I didn't change anything but Time Capsule (and so the TV decoder) seems to have no acces to the Internet anymore.
But Time Capsule is still available on the local network, so I can access to it, make backups and so on.
What should I do?!
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English.
Matteo

Did you try a simple reboot of the network devices.. turn off all the network stuff..
Restart in correct order..
1. Modem.. wait 2 min.
2. Express.. wait 2min.
3. TC.. wait 2min.
Then try the TV.. if it doesn't work reset both the express and TC to factory.. and redo the setup.. you had them setup correctly but please use SMB names.. since the TV will not talk apple.. SMB names are short.. 2-20 characters.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
so for example the name of the Express.. AEx Name of the TC.. TC1
Name for wireless. Aex24ghz
Use a different name for 5ghz if your Express is a dual band latest model. Aex5ghz
Use fixed channel so that it is locked.. eg. 2.4ghz on channel 11 5ghz on channel 40.
The TC will follow the wireless exactly.
See how you go.

Internet Connectivity Issues

By process of elimination, I may have the right source of my problem, but may not!
Recently purchased a Time Capsule, primarily to replace my old Airport Extreme and extend its effective range within a new house. At the same time, I upgraded my iMac OS to Snow Leopard (so maybe this has caused a problem?!)
In the last few days have been having severe internet connectivity issues - either v slow speeds or so slow that Mail and/or Safari times out. My ISP tells me that their lines are working fine (I know they would say that, wouldn't they) and, admittedly, my old Powerbook (connected to the Airport network and onto the DSL router) is running Internet applications fine. So somthing seems to be wrong with the iMac or its setup.
Have run Network Diagnostics which tell me there's no problem (except it's still really slow!) and have obviously rebooted repeatedly (including the router and Time Capsule).
Any ideas?

G4 imac and time capsule wireless connection

I have a dual band time capsule working wirelessly with 3 macs all intel (24 iMac, mbp 13, mb 13) with no issues. I was trying to connect a 17" flat panel G4 to the same wireless network on the time capsule and it fails to see the network.
When I type in the network name and password (WPA) it comes back with "encryption method not supported by the wireless network". Although all the others macs are working on this same network using the same encryption, the old iMac refuses to play nice. Is there something else I've overlooked?
This G4 has been on a various wireless networks over the past 5 years. It is running 10.4.11 and I know it will not support time machine, but still hoping it can share the wireless network.
Thanks

James,
You need to configure the Time Capsule to "join" the wireless network that is being provided by the Netgear router. The Time Capsule will connect using wireless only in this type of configuration.
Then, the Netgear, Time Capsule and your computer will all be on the same wireless network and you will not have to "switch" networks to access the Internet or back up to the Time Capsule.
Before we make any changes, we want to make sure that you understand that the Time Capsule will not perform any routing functions when it is configured to "join a wireless network".
The Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are not enabled in this setup, therefore you will not be able to use Ethernet to back up to the Time Capsule. Backups will be over wireless only, which is significantly slower than an Ethernet connection.
This setup can be tricky because you must know the exact type of wireless security that the Netgear router is using in order to provide the correct settings to the Time Capsule.
If the Time Capsule does not receive the correct settings during setup, you will receive a message that there has been an error and you must start all over again with a complete factory default reset of the Time Capsule and try again.
So, before we go any further, we need to ask....what is the exact type of wireless security that your Netgear router is using?

My brand new mac pro always had Internet connection issues at school. WHY is that? I see the school's Internet working perfectly fine on other PC's, but there is never a day where my mac doesn't have Internet connection issues at school. How do I fix it?

I got my mac pro in the middle of August. School started the week after. Internet was working perfectly fine at home. But at school, I never had a good connection. Sometimes on the good days I get a connection when I'm sitting at the exact spot in class I always sit at. It's ridiculous and it's frustrating. I invested my money into this laptop and I'm beginning to regret it. I thought it was the school's Internet, but I don't see Internet issues with other PC users. It's most frustrating on registration days and I'm trying to register for my classes before it gets taken, but again... Internet connection issues. It's random. Majority of the time, it doesn't work at all. I've done Network Diagnosis and turning WiFi off then turning it on again. I've done everything I could. I put my money on this laptop and it was a lot of money. I could have bought an 800 dollars laptop and I would have Internet connection anywhere on campus. So, I don't want to continue everyday to regret on buying this laptop every time I try to connect to the Internet at school or Starbucks or anywhere else. How do I fix this? What's the problem ?
At school, I heard this guy had a problem with Internet connections too and he owned a new mac book pro. He said something like Apple messed up on something, but he fixed it. If I knew mac book pro's had these issues I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. It's freezing on me every other day. It's ridiculous. But what concerns me the most is the Internet connection. So someone please tell me what can I do next to prevent the problem? Am I doing something wrong maybe?

Hi Kevin,
I'm using an XLR input mic which is connected to the phantom power enabled XLR mic socket on a USB M-Audio M-Track. The M-Track is connected by USB to the Mac Pro - so effectively I've got an M-Audio USB soundcard with a mic input. I've also tried a microphone that is a straight XLR to USB cable (guessing with some soundcard chip buried in the usb plug) but that also yields the same effect of bad latency, intermittent quality, stuttering and repeating and echoing (without the speakers on during record so its not feedback).
The mic works absolutely fine with other recording applications I have on the mac at the moment - albeit non-adobe ones (tested it on the EasyAudioRecorder - and it lives up to its name. it's easy)
I will try with Audition and report back, but sitting here right now I can imagine it would work fine with audition too - it just seems to be the way premiere is set up for recording into the timeline is a bit sketchy. I'm willing to accept it might well be a quirk with the new Mac Pro trashcan - I'm not weighting all the woes on premiere.
Any thoughts or am I out of luck to sit with my fingers crossed for a fix in the next round of updates?
Nathan.

Time Capsule not connected to Ethernet?

Hello,
I walked in to my office two days ago and the amber light was blinking with an occasional green (on my Time Capsule).
The reported error was that the ethernet was not connected. It was. I ultimately disconnected the ethernet cable from my Time Capsule and connected directly to my iMac. After some configuring issues I was on line. Did what I needed to do and shut down.
Next day I decided to try powering down the Time Capsule and re-connected the Ethernet cable. Everything worked fine just like it has for well over a year now.
I figured maybe the cleaning crew bumped the power and everything was fine.
No dice.
Came in this morning and the Time Capsule is blinking amber again (with an occasional green) same issue. "no ethernet connected."
Now I am connected directly to the IMac and asking for help.
Please.
Thanks in advance for your help.
P

On our TC, the TC shows a green light even when it refuses our computer/device wireless connections and says the password is invalid. However, I left the house for three hours and am now on my laptop and it is apparently working normally. I plan to watch it very closely for the next week and see what happens.
I have read on here (and other Mac-centric review sites) that TC's are very unreliable, have slower than average wireless connections (and short ranges in apartments, especially through walls/several rooms), and fail within 18 months -- all of which is considered "normal" lifespan by Apple (as confirmed by the Apple employees at the San Diego Store in Fashion Valley).
I don't plan on purchasing another TC, and likely not even an Airport extreme. I will look at buying a more reliable wireless router with stronger (farther) connections and connection ranges. I love apple products and have used them to the exclusion of others for over 15 years, but this is really annoying (and my friends have much better wireless networks!).
