Access to Time Capsule in Bridge Mode from outside of the network

I have a Time Capsule with an external hard drive set up in bridge mode on my home network. The main router and DHCP server is an Actiontec MI424, and is specific to my ISP (Verizon, required for TV Guide info from Fios) so the Time Capsule's AirPort can't be used as the primary. I need to access the external hard drive from outside my network (I.E. the internet), but I'm having trouble figuring out which ports are required for Sharepoint to work.
So far I've forwarded 548, but I get an error "-36" when I try to connect from the outside. It works fine on the inside. Any suggestions?
Thanks, JSD

The Express units can extend wireless on the TC or each other.. but they cannot extend wireless on the Asus anyway..
So the setup is Asus--TC (that has to be ethernet) The TC in bridge mode.
Then TC -- express can be done by ethernet in roaming mode as bob listed above or extend wireless.
I am guessing.. what model are the express units.. they are older Gen1 N model ??
IMHO the TC is simply no longer viable.. replace it with one express as the AP and extend it with the other Express.. see if that works better.
But I would be trying to use the wireless just from the AC66U.
I would also force the Asus back to 20mhz on the 2.4ghz band.. so you can provide adequate channel separation.. 40mhz wireless on 2.4ghz works poorly anyway because you have too much wifi .. there is very limited number of non-overlapping channels.. ie 3. 11, 6 and 1.

  • Port Forwarding Time Capsule With Bridge Mode

    Whoever says that the Time Capsule opens all ports if it is in Bridge Mode, it does not.
    I have put my Time Capsule in DMZ, firewall disabled, and it is still blocking ports, except for a couple (Apple Filesharing, Telnet,…)
    My TC was set up in Bridge Mode as it SHOULD indeed open all ports, but this is not the case, it seems you have to add the ports yourself.
    How it works is completely not intuitive and i would even consider it a bug.
    Adding the following port configuration opened up the port, even though it was blocked before adding it with the TC in Bridge Mode.
    This doesn't seem to work for all ports however, so i am at a loss as to what is going on
    I'm using the following site to test the Network ports
    http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/
    If anyone could explain or help out, that would be great
    Kind Regards,
    Cipher

    Hi, Thank you both for your continued support!
    The main router is from our ISP, it is remotely controlled by our ISP and they will not allow us to access it and adjust/view the configuration ourselves (dumb, i know, but can't be helped), which is why is i went with the DMZ option, as i don't want to keep having to call them, wait and trouble shoot every time a specific port needs to be opened.
    That router goes to 2 floors in the building, with a switch on the first floor and another one on the second floor, this second one extends the network to the third floor. My Time Capsule is connected to this switch.
    The main router from our ISP has the IP 192.168.254.150 set up to be in DMZ (per request) as well as the, what they call, "soft firewall" disabled.
    My Time capsule has it's network setup manually, so it has the static IP mentioned just above, the router is the main router from our ISP
    Currently the TC is set up to to share that IP address using DHCP & NAT, where the private IP range identifier is different from the one used by the main router (TC is using 10.0.X.X) resulting in a double NAT, but causing no problem since the IP identifier is different
    Ports that need to be forwarded have been mapped in the TC
    IPv6 is configured to be setup automatically and it's mode is set to Native
    The TC also broadcasts a secure wireless network
    My Main Desktop (running OS X Mountain Lion) is connected through ethernet, directly to the TC
    I have tried connecting to an external server @ IP XX.XXX.XX.XX on port 7777, but the connection fails
    That's pretty much it i think.

  • AT&T UVerse, Time Capsule, and Bridge Mode

    I know that this topic has been touched on, but I've yet to find a solution to the problem I'm having with my Time Capsule. I am an AT&T Uverse subscriber which means I have their big residential gateway (RG) modem/router/VoIP/TV box in my house. I also have a 1st gen Time Capsule (TC) and an 8-port gigabit switch to feed ethernet to the wall jacks throughout my house.
    What I'm trying to setup is to have the RG provide 802.11g, the TC provide 802.11n, for the TC to feed the gigabit switch to bring 1GB ethernet to all of my wall jacks, and for everything on g, n, and ethernet to be able to see each other. I originally was using the TC alone with DMZ+, but now that I actually have some wireless-n devices, I'd really like to separate the two networks (I have a wireless-g printer and a macbook that will slow it all down).
    I tried putting the TC in Bridge mode, made an n-network and a g-network, and turned off DMZ+. The result was that RG connected devices could see into the TC connected devices and had Internet access, TC connected devices could not see out past the TC or get Internet access, except Bonjour devices were able to see each other (I have a wired Mac Mini on the TC, which could see the MacBook even when connected to the RG by wireless-g).
    Basically, I'm trying to set up the RG as my router with 802.11g, and have the TC as a switch providing GB ethernet and 802.11n. Is this possible?
    If I had the 2nd gen TC then none of this would be necessary since it has the dual radios, but I'm trying to make due with what I"ve got!
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    As I understand home routers/switches, even though the RG is only 100Mb ethernet, devices on the Gb switch will communicate with each other at GB speeds as managed by the switch.
    You are correct. I interpreted your statement to mean that you wanted Gigabit throughout the network. Devices connected to the TC would indeed have the benefit of Gigabit available.
    I have another idea. You are configuring what is known as a "roaming" wireless network. The requirements here are that the TC be in "bridge mode" (It is) and that you use the exact same wireless network name (you probably are), security and password.
    Can you check the wireless security settings on the Uverse router? ATT may use different terminology. For example, you might have WPA2 Personal selected as security on the TC, but maybe something like WPA-PSK (TKIP) on the Uverse. If the security settings on both routers do not match exactly, you really have two distinct networks and they will not function as one.
    That might explain why you see some devices from one router and but not the other. What security settings do you have on both routers?

  • How to setup time capsule in Bridge Mode

    How do I set up my airport base station in Bridge Mode?

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the base station, then click Edit in the small window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window that appears
    Insure that the setting for Router Mode = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update and wait a full minute for the base station to restart
    It would be a good idea to also.....
    Power off both your main router and the base station
    Wait a minute or two
    Start up the main router first and let it run a full minute
    Start up the base station next the same way

  • How do I configure my time capsule to DHCP mode?  I had to replace my DSL router, had a network set up before.

    I recently had to replace my DSL router.  My provider, Earthlink, walked me through the setup and I do have internet access if I connect directly to my Mac.  When I tried to use my time capsule, it would not work.  The Earthlink tech said I needed to reconfigure my time capsule to DHCP mode.  I tried the set up manual and could not make sense of it.  My 90 free service is long gone.

    and the text in the router mode box came up DHCP and NAT, but the lettering was in a lighter shade than elsewhere and I could not open the drop down box.
    You would have had to change some other settings on the AirPort to be able make changes in the drop down Router Mode box.
    Your AirPort is already configured as Earthlink suggests.
    Try powering off the entire network...all devices....in any order you want
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the Earthlink modem first and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
    Start the Time Capsule and let it run a full minute
    Keep starting other devices the same way until everything is powered back up
    Check the network
    If still no improvement, I think you need to let Earthlink know that you have done as they asked, and ask for more steps to try.
    Hopefully, another Earthlink user will see this post and offer any special information or tips that only they would know.

  • Access your TIme Capsule from a different network?

    Okay, I've been looking everywhere for a guide or how-to to do this, but my searches have been more or less fruitless, coming across outdated, incomplete or incompetent so-called "guides", so I thought I'd finally post a question myself, and see if anyone has actually been successful in doing this.
    What I want to do is be able to do is access all the files stored on my Time Capsule from anywhere (using accounts and/or passwords), provided I have an internet connection. I use my Time Capsule as an external hard drive, and it's great at home, but I have a lot of music, movies, photos etc that I don't have space for on my MacBook, so being able to connect to my Time Capsule from other locations would be awesome. I have seen many guides and how-to's, but no matter how closely I follow the steps, it never seems to work. If anyone has had any success using one of the guides, feel free to post the link below.
    I am running the latest firmware on the Time Capsule (7.5.2) - the serial number is 6F01208ZAQG if that helps, the latest version of Airport Utility (5.5.2), my Time Capsule is connected to the internet via a Thomson TG585 v7 router (via Ethernet cable), I am on a MacBook running OS X 10.6.5, which is connected wirelessly to the Time Capsule, and if it makes any difference I am in New Zealand.
    Any information would help, but if you're going to say "it doesn't work" or something not-so-helpful like that, could you please give a reason? I'm tired of you pessimists shooting everyone down.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ryan

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    It's been some time since I have used the "feature" to access files on the Time Capsule over the internet, so I can't remember all the details from 12-18 months ago. Some specifics I do remember:
    1) You must have a "static" IP address for your internet service from your ISP
    2) You must use a simple one port modem that will allow the Time Capsule to be the "main" router on the network
    3) You must use Mobile Me from Apple to set this up
    However, I notice that Apple no longer talks about this feature on the newer Time Capsule literature online, so that might be a hint that it is no longer being supported.
    When did have it working, even small file transfers took forever. The connection, if I was using wireless, was often lost before transfers could complete.
    I haven't tried the "how to" in the article below because I no longer travel for my job, but it might be worth a look for a different approach if Mobile Me is no longer providing this service.

  • How To Access Airport Time Capsule From Outside Home?

    I had Purchased new Airport Time Capsule 2TB, i successfully add it to my local network of the my Home, and connected well remotely with my Mac on the local network.
    Is there any way to access my backup files on Airport TC while I been out side home over the internet?
    MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

    Already answered in your other thread.
    There is no need to post in Airport and Time Capsule areas.. both are serviced by the same crew.

  • Wireless Access Points - Time Capsule and Netgear

    Ok...Netgear support site was completely useless so I am hoping that someone over here can help me out. I think what I am trying to do is relatively simple but for 3 days now I have gotten no-joy.
    Here is my current configuration: Westell DSL Modem (wireless disabled) --wired-- Netgear WNR834B (SSID 1, operating b/g mode) --wired-- Time Capsule (SSID 2, operating n mode, connection sharing Off Bridge mode). All other devices are hanging off wirelessly to one of the two routers.
    What I am trying to do is add a wireless Access Point (Netgear WN802T) to the picture. I need better coverage on the other side of the house and don't want to run wires. The WNR834B is WDS compatible but I can't figure out how to put it into repeater mode or bridge mode. So I thought my next best bet (before going out and buying even more hardware) would be to try and extend the TIme Capsule network. I have been unsuccessful so far (SSIDs are the same, channels are the same, WEP set because I read somewhere that WPA was not supported in repeater/bridge mode). Is it even possible to use a Netgear Access Point with the Time Capsule (I would think it would work, but I just can't get it to).
    I can get the WN802T to be seen in my network, but I can not get it to carry the internet connection.
    Any advice or steps would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any/all help

    friars, welcome to the discussions!
    Sorry, but the possibility of extending the wireless network created by the Time Capsule with a device from another manufacturer is almost zero. Based on information from other top users, the only Netgear model that is shown as WDS compatible with an Apple base station is a model WGR614 v6.
    Take a look at an Apple AirPort Express to "extend" the network created by the Time Capsule. While the Express will also do WDS, the bandwidth on your network will be cut by 50% with the addition of just one WDS device. The "extend" feature on the Express does not impose this type of penalty and it is fully WPA/WPA2 capable as well, much more secure than WEP.
    For about the same money as an Express, you might also consider ethernet power line adapters. Almost as good as having a direct ethernet connection. Available from Netgear, Linksys, and others.

  • How do I access my time capsule over the internet

    How do I access my time capsule over the internet. I've already set it up to share over WAN, but I have ATT so my TC is connected to the router provided by ATT can I still access my TC via the internet even though its not directly connected to the Ethernet?

    The TC should be in bridge mode.. not setup to share over wan.. that will never work. That is assuming you haven't bridged the ATT router.
    Once you bridge the TC see if you can setup BTMM using icloud settings in the TC. As per the Apple docos.. here.
    You should also be able to directly access the TC since you have a router with dyndns client at a guess.. the setup is simply forward port 548 to the TC.
    Google search this.. there is huge number of resources available. eg

  • Time Capsule in Standalone Mode with Existing Wireless Network

    Hi there,
    I hope someone can help. I'm not quite sure where to post this question, so I hope I am in the right place. Ive found various posts on this matter but just would like some assistance with my personal set up.
    I have a new retina MacBook Pro arriving soon which will be running Mountain Lion. I've also just purchased a current model Time Capsule for the purpose of wireless backups via Time Machine and would like some advice on how to integrate it into my system. 
    I already have a wireless Internet connection set up and running well (through a D-link DSL-2740R router) so I don't want to mess around with that (for various reasons it took a long while to set up). I'm therefore looking at running the Time Capsule in a standalone way but I am guessing in doing so it will create a second wifi network (although it will not be connected to the Internet). I appreciate I cannot connect to two wireless networks at once but whilst in the local Apple store recently, one of the assistants mentioned that this would not be a problem for Mountain Lion with regard to Time Machine backups and that I would not have to use bridge mode or anything on the Time Capsule. However I unfortunately had to leave the store before I could find out how to go about setting this up. 
    I would therefore be grateful if anyone could help with how to set the Time Capsule up in Mountain Lion as mentioned above so that I can get it up and running when my Macbook Pro turns up.
    Also, once set up, I would like to use the USB port on the Time Capsule to attach a powered hub to connect multiple USB hard drives. Could someone please confirm that this will work in whatever manner I have to set the Time Capsule up and also whether Time Machine can back these drives up to the Time Capsule as well.
    I would say that networks etc. are not my strong point so would be grateful for answers aimed at novice (or lower!) level of technical experience.
    Many thanks for your help.

    This is really the same option as bridging the TC..
    You cannot use the TC as a router in the UK.. well mostly not, because all your ISP use PPPoA authentication.. there are some who have recognised the error of following BT blindly and now also use PPPoE. But you cannot authenticate the TC to the modem using pppoa protocol. So there is no way the TC can be in any mode but bridge..
    Don't worry if the above didn't make a lot of sense.
    When you bridge the TC.. it will act as a switch and WAP, plus hard disk to network.
    The wireless can indeed be left on.. even on both devices.. that isn't actually a problem.. although I prefer to set one or both routers to a fix wireless channel.
    You can also turn off the dlink wireless but I think you will find the dlink wireless rather better than the TC.
    For 2.4ghz there are only 3 non-overlapping channels, 1, 6, 11 ( although you can also use 13 in UK).
    The TC is only N lite on 2.4ghz ie max speed is 150mbps.. It will only need one channel.
    The Dlink is full N ie 300 or 270mbps and to do this requires 2 channels.. that means you need to be very specifc.. and might be better infact setting the dlink to also only use 1 channel.. ie 20mhz only not 40mhz.
    Again if you are not following don't worry.. I will be specific.
    Set the dlink wireless to channel 1.. and set it to 20mhz only. The dlink should still have better range than the TC..
    Place the TC in a place as far away as you can get.. next room or wireless dead spot would be excellent.. use ethernet or EOP adapters.
    Bridge the TC.
    Set the TC to channel 11 or 13 as you prefer..
    Give it the same wireless name.. (SSID to everyone else) as the Dlink.
    Same security setting WPA2 AES on the dlink WPA2 Personal on the TC.
    Same passkey.
    You now have a roaming system.
    ie the laptop should connect to the strongest signal.. just like a mobile phone does as you travel.
    The 5ghz will also be available to your computer if the signal is good enough.. range is very poor though.
    I do recommend you run 5.6 utility.. this is tricky as it won't install on mountain Lion.
    You need to download the utility.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Download and install unpkg
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/16357/unpkg
    Open the 5.6 dmg.. and drag the pkg over a running unpkg.. it will then load the files into a new directory on the desktop.. just drag the airportutility5.6 to your utilites directory.
    v6.1 utility in Lion and Mountain Lion is a toy version.

  • Time Capsule as bridge, want to extend range with airport express

    I have a Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 a time capsule (3rd gen) and an airport express (2nd gen). I currently have the time capsule connected to the surfboard router by ethernet and have it iset to bridge mode. i would like to use the airport express to extend the network because as i get to the back of my apartment the range of the wifi signal starts to degrade. however when i try to extend the network with the express i am unable to.
    both apple routers are on latest firmware
    would there be any alternative way to configure these 3 devices for best performance / range

    @blaqink
    Have you figured this out?
    I am looking to accomplish the similar feat. I have the Motorola Surfboard SBG6580, Time Capsule (Gen2) and Airport Express. I would like to use the Motorola as the main wireless signal because it appears to be better. But I still use the TC for backups and time machine, then I use the AX to extend the signal.
    So, how can I use these 3 in unison? TC connected via ethernet to Motorola and set in bridge mode? Then extend the AX signal? Any detail setup info you can provide will help..thanks!
