Airport Express, Time Capsule, Extended Network

I have cable broadband entering the house downstairs and connects to Airport Express to broadcast wirelessly around the house.
I work upstairs on my MBP and can connect to wi-fi ok.
I also have Time Capsule upstairs without wired connection to internet, it creates a separate network so that I would have to connect to it for automatic back ups (which obviously disconnects me from wi-fi internet).
What I would like to do is have Time Capsule join Airport Express wi-fi network so that I am connected wirelessly to internet and at the same time for Time Capsule to do its automtaic back ups.
Is this possible and could somebody give me a step by step guide how to do it.

You will need to know the exact type of wireless security setting that the AirPort Express is now using in order to configure the Time Capsule to "join" that wireless network. To do this....
Connect your Mac to the AirPort Express wireless network
Open Macintosh HD > Applications> Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab located just under the row of icons
Jot down the exact setting that you see for Wireless Network Name and Wireless Security
Close AirPort Utility
Now, connect your Mac to the Time Capsule wireless network as if you were going to back up
Open AirPort Utility and Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab under the row of icons
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the Wireless Mode selection box and select "Join a wireless network"
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your AirPort Express wireless network
Wireless Security = Exact same setting that you wrote down for the AirPort Express network
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Express network
Confirm Password
Click Update and close AirPort Utility as soon as you see the message that the settings have been stored
Wait 25-30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light
Now, log back on to your AirPort Express wireless network
Open AirPort Utility again as a check and you should see both the AirPort Express and the Time Capsule, which indicates that the Time Capsule is now on the same wireless network as the AirPort Express
When you have confirmed this, you will need to reset Time Machine to tell it how to find your Time Capsule for backups as follows:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Time Machine
Click Select Disk
Click your Time Capsule disk to highlight it
Click Use for Backup
Click Connect (if prompted)
Backups will resume in a few moments but they are going to take longer since the wireless is running at "g" wireless levels
Please post on your results

  • AirPort Express/Time Capsule WDS Network - will this work?

    Have recently bought a Time Capsule but realised that it won't do what I want with my Linksys ADSL wireless router. I think I understand how to make it work with an AirPort Express, but would appreciate it if someone could confirm my ideas before I buy even more hardware!
    My situation is that my ADSL line comes in to the house on the ground floor. There's no extension phone sockets and I don't want or need them. My home office is on the first floor.
    What I want is to have my ADSL modem and a wireless device on the ground floor, the Time Capsule in the home office with mac and XBOX making wired connections to it, and a USB printer also connected.
    If I get a DSL modem and then connect an AirPort Express to that, can I then set up WDS so that the Time Capsule becomes an extension of the WLAN and I can connect the devices to the Time Capsule via wires? Or do I need an AirPort Extreme to do this instead of Express? Or is it just plain not going to work?
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    I am using a Time Capsule with an 802.11g Airport Express with a WDS network. In my case the Time Capsule is the main device and the Airport Express is the remote device, but I'd think it would work the other way. Just make sure you're using "Airport Utility", not "Airport Admin Utility" to configure it.
    One other thing: I found it easiest to reset both devices to factory default settings and use the Airport Utility wizard to set up the WDS network on both devices. Good luck!

  • Airport Express access over 'Extended' network (Time Capsule)

    Hello everyone,
    I've seen several posts similar to this, and I've come pretty far in figuring this out but the final roadblock is scratching my head.
    I purchased an Airport Express a few days ago to get my xbox 360 onto the internet without running a wire and without giving Microsoft my 100 dollars. I had it working under WDS but WDS trashed my network speed. I found out about the 802.11n version of 'extending' the network tonight. Got it all setup, so much easier than WDS!
    So I slap my xbox 360 ethernet cable into the Airport Express and go to watch some Netflix. Turns out I can't get to the internet...I've got the thing on the network. It's got an IP, subnet looks good, gateway looks good.
    I tried to ping it from my iMac and I can't get to it.
    My network looks like this...
    FIOS -----> Actiontek Router --(Bridge)--> Time Capsule --(extended network)--> Airport Express ---(ethernet) --> Xbox360
    Thanks for any help,
    Cheers.

    Hi
    When you try and ping the Xbox where are you doing it from, i.e. do you have a laptop that is a wireless client of the TC? What IP address is your XBox getting? What IP address is on the station that you are pinging from? What is the IP address of the Express itself? Can you ping the Express?
    You mention that the Express has a solid green led right? What if you move the laptop to be ethernet client of the Express, can the laptop now access the internet?
    cheers

  • Apple Tv - Airport Express - Time Capsule,  Network Issue

    Hi,
    I don't know if I'm on the right thread but I don't know in which one to post my question.
    I have the following configuration in my home:
    Floor 1 :
    - ISP connection, connected to Airport Extreme.
    Airport Extreme has the Network name : Floor 1 Network
    Floor 2 :
    - Airport Express connected via ethernet to the Airport Extreme from Floor 1.
    - Time Capsule extending the Airport Express.
    Airport Express and Time Capsule are on another Network name : Floor 2 Network.
    All is working perfectly. (Clients wirelessly connected are MacBooks, iPhones, iPads, iPods, Apple TVs)
    Here is my problem.
    I have an Apple Tv on Floor 2
    The Time Capsule is located not far from the Apple TV (line of sight, few meters)
    The Time Capsule hold my movies
    Sometime I have problem to sync the ATV (very very slow). I already restart ATV, and TC. But sometimes, cannot get better a thruput
    I would guess that the Apple TV would sometime connect to the AE (which is further than the TC), and then create this problem.
    I would like to make sure that the Apple TV connect wirelessly to the TC and not the AE.
    How could I do this, knowing that TC is extending the AE wireless network, I cannot select from the AppleTv on which wireless node to connect.
    Thanks a lot for the support.

    fleyne wrote:
    Yes. Actually, when the thruput is not good, I check first that my book is properly connected to TC and not the AE. This by checking the BSSID.
    How could I do this on the ATV ? Or How could I make sure that the ATV is wirelessly connected to the TC?
    It probably won't show you everything you'd like to know, but you can learn something about the ATV connection with AirPort Utility. Enter "manual setup" mode, select the menu option Base Station -> Logs and Statistics, then select the "Wireless Clients" tab. That should show you the signal strength and noise for each client.
    I would like to avoid to run ethernet cable between the TC and the ATV.
    Then you might benefit from a powerline adapter as suggested by the post from "Jolly Giant".

  • Airplay not working on Airport Express N in Extended Network

    Hi
    I have a setup as in the diagram below. Internet Router connected to my Airport Express N which creates a N-class network. Then I have an Time Capsule in another room that extends this network. My iMac is connected to this Time Capsule using Ethernet (WiFi is turned off completely).
    iTunes is 10.6.1 (7)
    Airport Express and Time Capsule have the latest firmware (v7.6.1)
    Internet, sharing and other functions are working fine, just Airplay from the iMac doesn't work anymore to the Airport Express. I've tried lots of solutions, and this just seems to be broken. I've submitted to Apple feedback as well explaining the situation and that this doesn't work.
    If I add/remove a password or enable/disable airplay on the Express, it does reflect in iTunes. It also shows that the Airplay is locked/unlocked (see image) and also shows it as a visible audio destination. But when you activate it from iTunes, it doesn't ask for any password (if enabled), but it just displays the "connecting" dialog for about 1 minute and then closes the window without any error and just does nothing. It's like iTunes cannot communicate to the Airport Express, although at the same time I can connect to it's internal configuration (edit) and also connect to the internet, my router's config using a browser, etc. without any problems. Also, if I'm using my iPad and iPhone, I can easily use the Airport Express from those devices, but NOT from the iMac.
    I'm thinking Apple broke Airplay in this type of scenario.
    Anyone with any ideas. I have a big hot paperweight called an Airport Express plugged into the wall in my bedroom now.

    My problem is similar but not always the same.  I have a Time Capsule extended by an Airport Express which in turn is connected to my hifi.  My Imac is connected to the TC by Ethernet alone - no wifi.  The connection from the TC to my AE is done by a mains wiring ethernet connection which works superbly for TV streaming etc.  However, sometimes when I try to connect to the AE for music, I get an error message whicg says that is not possible to connect to the Airplay device.  If I restart the Imac, it connects immediately and without problem and will run for as long as I want.  Once stopped, I then get the error messge again until I restart.

  • Two Airport Expresses   Time Capsule Help

    Hi,
    I am at my wits end in regards to my wireless network. Here is my configuration:
    I have an ATT Uverse 2 Wire 3800HGV-B internet wireless router (wireless turnedd off), 2 Airport Expresses (1st generation), an Airport Time Capsule (4th Generation), a new iMac running 10.8.4, a Mac Mini running 10.7.5, iPhone 5's, iPhone 4, iPad 2nd gen, IPad 3rd gen.  The U Verse acts as the router and the TC is set to bridge mode. The TC is set to transmit 802.11n 2.4ghz & 5ghz, both AE's are set to 802.11n 2.4 ghz only. The TC and both AE's have same wireless network name for the 2.4ghz network and braodcast on different channels. I currently have each device set to "create a wireless network".  Two story home with R Foil construction seems to inhibit the Wi Fi signal.  In my backyard I get my neighbors Wi Fi and not my own. How do I set up the airport express devices? Extend or Create? Each airport express currently is plugged into a Cat5e ethernet jack which connects to a switch which in turn connects to the Uverse Router. the TC is connected to the cat5 jack which connects to the Uverse Router in the basement, I am confused about extending, creating, maybe setting up roaming? Should the Airport Express Devices be connected to my ethernet network?? Please help!  

    Leave the TC alone.
    Close AirPort Utility if it is open.
    Turn off one of the AirPort Express devices and work with just one for now. With the Express powered on, hold in the reset button on the device for 7-8 seconds and release. Then allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Connect the Express to the Ethernet wiring
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the 10.8.4 Mac, and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express.
    AirPort Setup will open up automatically, take a minute to analyze the connection and then tell you that the Express will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use.....AE1, or example....and click Next.
    AirPort Setup will now tell you that the Express is being set up to extend using Ethernet.
    When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.  That's it.
    Check with a laptop in the general area near the Express to confirm that it is working.
    Then, configure the other AirPort Express the same way, starting with a Hard Reset, and using a different device name.....AE2, for example..... to keep things straight.

  • Airport Express can only extend network, not create new one. Why?

    I am sharing a flat with some friends. The shared broadband router is placed in the living room. To strengthen the signal and make it easier for me to manage, I bought an Airport Express, connected it to the shared router with an ethernet cable and set up a wireless network of my own in my room. It was working fine, until recently we renewed our broadband contract. The router had been replaced by a new one (I don't know why) and the network configration had been changed. Since then I was not able to use my own network. In the Airport Utility display, the light of Airport Express is green, but the light of Internet is yellow, and the status is disconnected. I tried to change various other configuration on the Airport Express, and all in vain. Until I switched the network mode from 'Create a new wireless network' to 'Extend a wireless network', the Internet connection was finally back online. But this merely extends the existing network and not what I want. Why this happens? Why my Airport Express can only extend a network, not create one?

    Here is the situation on my Airport Express.
    If I choose to extend the existing wireless network, the Airport Utility shows like this:
    If I set up a wireless network of my own, what I get in the Airport Utility is this:
    See my problems here? The Airport Express does not show anything in amble, but the Internet complains that there is no connection.
    This problem did not occur before the broadband was renewed and the rounter was replaced.

  • Would like my macbook pro to only connect to time capsule and not to airport express that is extending network.  Is there a way to do this?

    I have a network set up with a main time capsule and airport express.  The airport express is configured to extend network.  While its fine for our iphones and ipad to connect to the express, I would like the Macbook pro to only connect to the time capsule as it seems to run faster.  Any way to do this?

    You are extending the 2.4ghz.. as that is the only way you can connect iphones.
    But if you have Gen2 or later TC you can setup 5ghz to use a different wireless name to 2.4ghz.. and it is much faster.. you need to be close to the TC though.. like in the same room.
    Make sure you download 5.6 airport utility if you haven't already.. go to the wireless options and the extra wireless area.. set a different wireless name (SSID in everybody but apple's book). Then you can deliberately select it.

  • Verizon FIOS, Time Capsule, and Airport Express - How to Extend Network

    OK, I just got Verizon FIOS (TV, Internet, and phone). Don't care for the wireless router that is required to be used with it (want 802.11n and Time Capsule). I turned of the wireless on the Verizon FIOS router and installed a Time Capsule in Bridge Mode, which is how the Verizon rep told me to install it. As I understand it, the Verizon FIOS router is still handling DHCP, NAT, etc. I would like to extend the wireless network to reach some dead spots in my house. I have read that the Airport Express can be used to extend a wireless network from an Airport Extreme or Time Capsule, but it appears that I need to set up a WDS with the Time Capsule as the base station, which is apparently not possible on the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode. I am desperately seeking any advice on how to use Verizon FIOS, my Time Capsule, and extend the wireless network to reach the farther corners of the house. I am using a Macbook and a Thinkpad as well as an iPhone on the wireless network with a Dell desktop connected to the Time Capsule via Ethernet. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Before I switched, I had Cox Cable with a Buffalo wireless router and it had great range. Now I seem to be in a worse situation from a wireless perspective with higher TV and Internet quality. Thanks in advance.

    If you have an AirPort Express(n), you can configure it to "extend a wireless network". This is a more efficient way to add additional wireless coverage (and much easier to configure than a WDS arrangement).
    However, if you have an older "b/g" AirPort Express, you must use the WDS configuration method with this device and the Time Capsule if you want to increase your wireless coverage.

  • Configuring BT HomeHub 4 on home network with AirPort Express & Time Capsule

    I have changed my broadband provider from Sky to BT in the UK and hence from a Sky router to a BT HomeHub 4 router but can't get the new router to work as before with my home network and an extended wireless network running off an AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule.  I had the Sky router with the wireless network off acting as the DNS server and the AE and TC set to connect using DHCP, Create a Wireless Network and the Router Mode set to Off (ie Bridge mode).
    I am not an expert but I think the issue could be due to the different BT hub IP settings (Hub IP Gateway Address and DHCP Network Range).  From discussion forums I am also not clear whether it is better to use DHCP, Static or PPPoE settings for the AE and TC.
    Has anyone managed to configure a BT HomeHub with a home network and an AE/TC for running the wireless network?

    There is really very little difference in the setup between the sky hub and the BThub.
    BUT the apple routers do not take kindly to sudden changes of management.
    Reset both to factory and start over.
    The TC or AE plugged into the BThub will still be in bridge mode with create a wireless network.. and the Extreme working in extend wireless mode.. unless you have them tied together with ethernet. (or visa versa depending on your layout.. AE in bridge and TC extending.. same difference).
    You can just leave the BT hub wireless on.. or turn it off as you like. Setup can be a bit tricky as the airport utility seems to insist on the router plugged into the Hub taking over as main router.. this is wrong.. but it is hard to get it to do what you want.. so just finish the setup in the airport utility then manually edit the setup to do what you want.
    Or do it fully manually.
    I gave a full set of instructions here.

    You have express in the title and extreme in the text.. but it is same thing from setup point of view.

  • Airport express / Time capsule wi-fi & network speed measurements

    I am trying to figure out the best way to connect up my LAN, how to get the best out of the gigabit ethernet devices on it, as well as 5GHz wifi.  I have a mac mini as a media server and I want to maximise the speed, as well as improve time capsule access.
    Here are the results doing a real world file transfer from a macbook pro to a MacMini external FW800 drive:
    Set-up
    Peak speed MB/s
    1) Macbook pro --> 1000Base-T --> Switch --> 1000Base-T --> MacMini  (Time capsule connected to switch as router)
    72.1
    2) Macbook pro --> 1000Base-T --> Time Capsule --> 1000Base-T --> MacMini
    56.2
    3) Macbook pro --> 802.11n 5GHz --> Time Capsule --> 1000Base-T --> MacMini

    6.6
    Findings:
    - Using a Netgear Gigabit ethernet switch and everythig wired off that resuts in the fastest connection
    - The Time Capsule has the fastest wifi (both 2.4GHz and 5Ghz) at 19.7MB/s and 14.8MB/s
    - Maximum throughput on the Airport Express is 11.7MB/s, throttled by the slow 100Base-T connection
    - Extending the wireless network using an airport express results in the slowest connection of all, even using 5GHz (6.6MB/s)
    I was suprised at how poor the Airport Express wi-fi performance was compared to the time capsule, even with the 100Base-T bottleneck.
    I don't understand why 8) is faster than 9) - perhaps with the airport express in bridge mode there is less overhead than when it is working as a router too.
    Tests were done with devices all close.  Obviously distance and interference would drop the wi-fi speeds.  With my internet running at a maxiumum of about 2.6MB/s I would not notice any difference in day to day internet usage.

    The following illustrates the problem:
    Depending on the Extreme's firmware version, you may find an option to configure the Extreme to not "allow this network to be extended". That will limit the Express's available connection options to the Time Capsule.
    Try that. If you are unable to find that checkbox in AirPort Utility then it's not an option. Apple removed it in a recent firmware update (it's always on by default). You might find it by reverting to an earlier firmware release, but I don't necessarily recommend that.

  • Airport express won't extend network via ethernet but shows GREEN (HELP!!)

    I have the following routers setup up the same network and are working.
    10.0.1.1 Airport Extreme (connected to hardline from IP)
    10.0.1.2 Time Capsule 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to computer via ethernet)
    10.0.1.3 Time Capsule 2 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox1)
    10.0.1.4 Airport Express 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox2)
    Not working correctly
    10.0.1.43 Airport Express 2 (wanting to set this router up to extend network to plug into desktop)
    The router seems to join the network fine and will show GREEN but doesn't show a similar IP address as the rest of the routers. It also doesn't provide any internet connection via ethernet to any computer, the network pref page says that it shows RED and that nothing is connected to the computer for internet but airport shows GREEN.
    Reset the router multiple times, tried every which way of setting it up and no go. I also tried assigning it a IP and not using DHCP and gave it a 10.0.1.5 and still the same outcome.
    Right now just at complete loss as to what to try next.

    Sorry, the older version of the Express does not have the option to  "extend a wireless network", which is the setting on the new Express that provides more wireless coverage and also enables the Ethernet port.
    What you want to do can be done with a different setting..."participate in a WDS network" on both the Time Capsule and Express, but I am not recommending that you do this because WDS operates only in "g" wireless mode. Your Time Capsule would lose most of its performance in this setting and the network would slow down tremendously...defintely not what you want for gaming.
    You'll have the best performance if you connect the PS3 directly to one of the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable. If it is not possible to run the cable, the next best performance option would be to use a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the Ethernet signal over the existing AC wiring in your home.

  • Airport Express won't extend network over LAN when plugged into a switch

    I have several airport expresses (newest model) and an airport extreme.
    Every room in my house is wired for ethernet.  Those terminate in a closet and plug into a single switch.  That switch then has a single cable that plugs into the airport extreme.
    In different areas of the house, I've placed a few expresses to extended the wireless network.  After several attempts, the express "hotspots" would only extend the extreme via wifi (offering no real advantage) even though they were plugged into the wall via ethernet.
    For grins and giggles, I tried connecting the port directly into the airport extreme (bypassing the switch) and it started to send the traffic over the wired LAN.
    Question is - why?  I'd much rather everything go through the switch as the extreme has a limited amount of ports and I'd rather use for other things.  Anyone had this experience before?
    Thanks!

  • Airport Express/Time Capsule Wi-Fi Troubles

    Hi everybody,
    I'm having some troubles setting up my new AirPort environment (all the products are 1-2 generation, I call it "new" because I had to modify the position of all the modems and I can't get them to work).
    I have a Time Capsule connected to my ADSL modem. When I'm next to it the download speed is 1MB (megabyte) and the upload is 500KB (kilobytes). I have a smaller "house" on the other side of the garden that we use as entertainment space, it has just two rooms, a bathroom and a big living room.
    I can connect to the Time Capsule (and then to the Internet) at 800KB when I'm in the bathroom, but when I move away from it, towards the living room, the signal drops. I get a "connection timeout" error if i try to connect, and if I keep moving the Wi-Fi doesn't connect at all.
    I controlled if there was some kind of interference, but the walls are thin. So I took my AirPort Express in here, I attached it in the bathroom, and if I stay there (not in the living room) the signal is ok and I can configure the Express to extend my Time Capsule network.
    It doesn't work. I followed the Utility AirPort step-by-step and it said that everything was ok and the Express light turned green, it worked decently (~500KB) and it spread out all over the living room, but when I got up the next morning  to check if everything was fine, even if I saw the green light of the Express it was like it didn't work at all.
    Carlo
    P.s.
    Right now Utility Airport is working this way (the Express doesn't extend the signal), but when I got it working the AirPort Express was connected directly to the Time Capsule

    The following illustrates the problem:
    Depending on the Extreme's firmware version, you may find an option to configure the Extreme to not "allow this network to be extended". That will limit the Express's available connection options to the Time Capsule.

  • Airport Express & Time Capsule -- Can I stream to Itunes?

    Hi,
    I have a 1 TB time capsule that has my itunes library on it, and an older b/g airport express. The time capsule and airport express (AX) are in different rooms, and I'd like to be able to use Airtunes.
    I set the AX up to "extend" the network created on the Time Capsule, and Airtunes is enabled on the AX. I get the drop down menu in Itunes, but when I select it, I get an error message saying that there are no speakers connected to Airtunes. This is not the case.
    If anyone has any suggestions or similar issues, I'd love to hear them.
    Thanks!

    Ok, let's double-check the settings to have the AX join the TC's wireless network for iTunes streaming.
    Temporarily connect the AX directly to one of the LAN ports of the TC using an Ethernet cable, and then, using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, check the following settings:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing TC's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
    Verify that you can now "see" the AX in iTunes. Once verified, remove the AX from the TC and place it at the desired location.
