Airport time capsule losing network connection

Running a time capsule with airport utility v. 6.3.2 and it is losing wi-fi and ethernet connection daily. I have had the unit for three years or so, and while it used to happen once or twice a year, its happening daily now. Unplugging/replugging gets it going every time. I have three  Macs and 5 iphones connected.

It may be possible that your Time Capsule is failing. However, before considering replacing it, I would suggest that you contact your ISP and have them run a "line check" between their service and the Internet modem. Even if this check proves good have them replace the modem, especially if it is more than two years old.
If after all this, you still have the issue with the Time Capsule, I would recommend that you take it to your local Apple Store to have them take a look.

  • Airport time capsule losing Internet connection?

    My airport time capsule is losing Internet connection but I still have wifi? Any suggestions?

    It could be your modem, or other problem on the ISP's end. Try resetting your modem - power it down and let it rest for a few minutes, then power it back up again.
    If it is a cable modem, also disconnect its coaxial cable - literally unscrew it and leave it detached while the modem is powered down.
    Leave the TC powered up during that time.
    After a sufficient amount of time has elapsed reconnect the cable and power up the cable modem. If you're still having trouble contact your ISP.
    The possibility of a TC problem exists but the sort of failure you describe is not common. If all else fails perform a "hard reset" followed by reconfiguring the TC. Your Time Machine backups will not be affected.

  • HT1218 Airport Time Capsule losing internet connection after 3 hours

    I just got a Time Capsule and my internet connection seems to time out after 3 hours or so.  My macbook/iphones/ipad seem to still connect to the internet but there is no internet connection.  The only fix seems to be unplugging the modem every 3 hours.  I think I have the most updated systems on everything.  Does anyone know what I need to do?

    Hi there Tharv23,
    You may want to reset your base station to factory settings as an inital troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Airport Time Capsule Can't Connect to BrightHouse Internet

    I have BrightHouse Internet service set up as follows:
    1.  Coax in
    2.  Splitter
    3.  Coax out to ARRIS modem/telephony combo (BrightHouse box) and Motorola Surfboard (BrightHouse box, for high speed access)
    4.  Cat 5 from Surfboard to Netgear WNR2000 router.
    Note:  The modem setup and splitter were installed by BrightHouse.
    I want to replace my Netgear router with the AirPort Time Capsule (which to this point I have been using only as a backup drive for Time Machine).
    Currently, when the AirPort is connected to a LAN port on the Netgear, I get internet to the AirPort (AirPort Utility says so).  With this configuration I have the following settings on the AirPort:
    1.  Network - Off (Bridge Mode)
    2.  Wireless network - Off (the broadcast conflicted with the wireless signal from my nearby Netgear WiFi)
    3.  Internet connect using DHCP
    4.  IPv6 configure automatically
    I have tried various settings to get the AirPort connected, but never works.  The Airport Congifurations seem OK (green light in AirPort utility), but the Internet connectivity when plugged into the port on the back of either modem is absent (yellow light in AirPort Utility).
    I've done all of the obvious stuff (made sure the ethernet cables are plugged into the proper ports, hard reset the Airport Time Capsule, reset both modems (even in very specific order).  No luck.
    Does anyone know if there is an issue with BrightHouse and AirPorts?

    Did you power down the modem and leave it off for at least 20min.. plus or minus.. say try 5min or try overnight.. but all cable services require the modem powered off so you can swap the router. That is because the first device to connect captures the public IP and is registered by MAC address to the ISP system. To get rid of that you need the modem off long enough for dhcp lease to reset..
    You also should factory reset the TC to do this. It is really hard to change roles on the TC by simple manual changes. Start afresh. None of your backups will be altered.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    After a reset the TC will go back to router default mode.
    Everything else on the network will also need rebooting. This is important to change over to the new router.
    Tell us how you go.
    If you still have issues what model TC running what firmware??

  • XBOX ONE. I have the xbox one and the airport time capsule and cant connect to most xbox live games and zero parties. I have 0 experience in all this but somehow was able to change NAT to open but still wont connect. HELLLPPPP

    Okay folks, I need your help out there.
    So the nerdy side of me went and picked up the XBOX ONE on release day. Its awesome by the way, BUT..... I cant seem to connect to most xbox live games and absolutely ZERO parties. At first I just thought it was something to do with the xbox itself and would eventually fix itself, but i was wrong. After looking into it on microsoft, i found out that it had to do with my NAT settings on the airport itself. I guess apple and xbox are not compatiable for xbox live and it makes it difficult to have an open NAT setting and is a huge PAIN.
    I was able to pinpoint one that the airport time capsule was blocking the IPV6 something or another. Anyways, I unblocked that, and reset the modem and time capsule and jumped on the xbox and now have open NAT settings but still cant connect to multi-player.
    Upon further searching, i was told to uncheck the UPNP on my time capsule as well, but have no idea how to find that.
    I know it seems confusing, but thats the best i can describe it.
    tthanks all

    Be a long long time before I see an Xbox One.. but whoever told you to uncheck the upnp in the TC.. tell them their dreamin' .. upnp is not support by Apple in any computer or router, never has been.. Apple deliberately wrote their own version called NAT-PMP to do the same thing.. dynamically open ports at the request of an application or client computer.
    So there is nothing like that to uncheck.. and as a matter of interest.. there no box to check or uncheck for NAT-PMP either.. since apple do not believe in end user adjustment of settings.. they simply do not exist.
    You will have to manually forward all ports required by the Xbox via the TC. For multi-player games you probably need to open more ports than the standard to allow just xbox live. You will need to check the ports required and open them.
    OR
    Buy a standard vista UPNP compatible router.. and use that.. and simply put the TC in bridge in the network.
    I have not seen posts yet about xbox one.. but there are plenty about xbox and ps3 and the fact that Apple really doesn't give a hoot about games consoles.
    This is a good basic post for older xbox.

  • Airport Time Capsule - wich network

    Hi,
    I just installed my Airport Time Capsule, and so created a new network. So now I have two available networks (both protected): one that I had before I installed the Time Capsule and an additional one after installation of the TC. The question is what is the exact difference between the two networks?
    Can I fully use the Time Capsule as I use my first network?
    And there is a loss of speed or other disadvantage as I now always connect to the new network (since installation TC)?
    Thanks for your reply!
    Bart

    You're right, the TC is in bridge mode! So if I understand you correctly, these setting provides a network that is simular to my 'basic' network? (but despite this bridge mode, it seems I can still create a secure guest network)
    Seems like it can.. but it really doesn't.. that is one confusion.. whilst the setup is there for guest in bridge it doesn't actually work.. Apple is just tricking you..
    I can switch the bridge mode only to 'DHCP and NAT', but i'm not that technical to understand what it means or what I've to do. When i try this setting, the Airport-configuration reports a 'double use of NAT'. What can I do to avoid this? (see printscreens)
    Don't use the TC in router mode.. which is what DHCP and NAT means.. that is wrong.. you are using bridge which is right.. if you want to use the TC in router mode, then you should change the cable modem to bridge mode. You will need to contact the ISP for info about this.. some modems are locked and others are restricted .. so you might have no choice.
    Double NAT causes many issues and should be avoided. It simply means you have two routers one after the other.. each router has a NAT.. this is network address translation.. one is bad but required.. two is terrible.
    I've a 60 Mbps broadband internet connection.
    My modem is a Wireless modem 3.0 (DOCSIS) (type: Motorola_SVG6540E).
    Connect to the TC by ethernet.. are you having speed issues..
    If so use a crossover cable between the modem and the TC or use 10/100 switch.. cheapest 5 port you can buy will be fine.. Apple routers are having some issues on the WAN port.
    If it measures fine by ethernet and you have wireless problems.. then set the channels manually for 2.4ghz.. on AC you cannot change 5ghz..
    You may not be able to get full speed via the wireless.. that is a problem that should be fixed as firmware is updated.

  • Airport time capsule private network configuration

    I am trying to use the airport timecapsule in a very non-standard way, and struggling to get the configuration to work.  I need the ability to have the time capsule (airport router) stand alone, with NO connection to the Internet or other network source (no DHCP server on the WAN side).  I want to have a static IP for the WAN side, where I can define a compatible static IP on a laptop such that one laptop (possibly more in the future) is connected on the WAN side, and additional laptops are connected on the LAN side, and they can talk to each other.  Attempting to configure this in the Airport utility consistently gets me an error message that the router address is not compatible with the WAN IP address.
    Can somebody share insight about the following configuration items under the Internet tab of the airport utility :
    IPv4 address   (if I assign this 192.168.2.1 .... does that mean the WAN IP port on the time capsule has that IP address  ??)
    Subnet mask  (does this apply to the LAN IP, WAN IP or both ??)
    router address (If I assign this 192.168.1.1 I see impact in the network tab, where the DHCP address range is populated, so I am expecting this applies to the LAN side only ??)
    Using the above values, I am NOT able to update the time capsule, it complains about IP address compatibility.
    My goal is for the WAN side to be 192.168.2.x and the LAN side to be 192.168.1.x  ...... where the Airport Time Capsule is an "island" just serving that small population of hosts

    I timed out for editing.. why Apple do you have 5min edit window.. would it hurt for 60min.. seesshhh..
    Let me rephrase what I knew was right but could not explain.. There is the world of difference between a NAT router and a proper pro level router.
    NAT routers do things one way.. it is designed to reach the internet from your LAN.. It uses a trick.. NAT.. ie address translation..
    Many LAN Private IP addresses Masquerade as a single Public IP.
    A proper router can route packets both ways between different domains/subnets/etc.
    This is why incoming packets to your network have to be allowed in via port forwarding unless you have a link from internal request from a computer.
    In other words people cannot access your file shares on your LAN without you opening the port forwarding and making it available.. whereas you can access any site on the internet and download files.
    So back to your example..
    You can access files on your server side LAPTOP plugged into the WAN side.. That is trivial and will work fine. You don't need ICS which I suggested.
    And it means you can always access files one way.. so if you have one computer that you need to access many other computers.. The many others can be WAN and the one computer LAN.. (opposite to the way you think)..
    Here. Try it yourself.. This works.
    I plugged in a laptop and set it as 192.168.2.10 statically.
    LAN side setup.
    Right, plugged in a computer.. and it got the first available IP 192.168.1.2
    From this computer I can ping across the NAT.. to the WAN port of the TC and the WAN computer.
    ping 192.168.2.1

    But from WAN side I cannot reach the computer on LAN..
    Ping from 192.168.2.10 failed to reach 192.168.1.1 (LAN side of the TC).. or 192.168.1.2 (computer plugged in)..
    It still failed even though I set 192.168.1.2 as default server.. again this is not surprising as I would need to work a bit more.. but if I like ran HTML server from Mac on LAN, then I should be able to access it from WAN.. same as internet connected computer will work.. but you can only access the computer to which the ports have been mapped.
    So why it doesn't work.. Because it is a NAT router.
    How to get it working.. Buy a true router.. or a cheap router that runs third party like dd-wrt that offers gateway mode (NAT router) or true router mode..
    See http://www.patrikdufresne.com/en/multiple-subnets-routing-with-dd-wrt/
    Apple just do not build their routers with this flexibility...
    And sorry .. I am getting old and the brain can take a day or two to click in.. that is why I experiment myself.. as soon as I tried I realised my mistake and why it won't work in exactly the way you want.. or at least I am assuming so.
    It is relatively easy however to get multiple computers talking to each other from different LAN subnets.. just buy a managed switch.. these are cheap now for 8 port smart switch.. easy to set vlan with different subnets.

  • Time Capsule losing DSL connection

    I have the following problem: my Time Capsule loses internet connection every 2-3 days. It is connected to the internet via D-Link DSL-300G modem, and I have several wireless devices that connect to the TC. I am quite sure that the problem is with the TC and not the modem.
    Basically, every 2-3 days, the wireless devices suddenly cannot find any web-sites anymore and just show "Looking for ..." message when trying to load a web-site, but they remain connected to the TC wireless network. The light on the TC remains solid green, and the lights on the modem indicate that everything works properly.
    Restarting the TC through the AirPort utility from my laptop does not help. The only thing that works is to disconnect and re-connect back power to the TC.
    Before the TC, I was using a Linksys wireless router with the same D-Link modem without any problems.
    The TC settings in the AirPort utility are as follows:
    Internet Connection
    Connect Using: Ethernet
    Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
    Connection Sharing: Share a Public IP address
    TCP/IP
    Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    NAT
    Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol is checked
    I appreciate your help.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You already have all of the correct configuration settings for the TC, so there are really no other options in this regard.
    +I am quite sure that the problem is with the TC and not the modem.+
    In that case, you're only option is to try a replacement TC to see if that will perform better for you. Apple may likely ask you to connect your computer directly to the modem for a few days to see if you have any connection difficulties with that type of configuration.
    If you do, then the modem may be showing its age or the service providers cabling to your house may need to be repaired or replaced. If the connection remains stable, then you have a strong case to ask for a replacement TC.

    It says you have the wrong password.

    Reset the TC to factory and start again.
    But do not be surprised if the v5 utility no longer works to do the setup.

  • Time capsule losing internet connection

    Hey there,
    I've read other people with similar issues, but haven't found a solid resolution yet. Hoping you awesome Mac folks can help me out. It's slightly confusing, but please let me know what you think. Sorry this is long, just trying to give the full situation.
    I have a 1 TB Time Capsule that I'm using as a router so that my two MB Pro's, 2 Iphones and one Samsung Blu-ray player can all wirelessly reach the internet. I recently moved and for the first month, I had no problem at all, now, I have the same problem (which I had at my old place) where my devices can see the TC, but still have no internet connection. The light on the TC is green, my airport indicator shows full bars and there's a check mark next to my network, so all seems a-ok. Safari or Firefox will give me the yellow box saying no internet connection. I can go into my airport utility, change the channel, re-start, etc, and then it's hit or miss whether or not I can connect to the internet when it comes back up. I continually reboot my macs and that may or may not work.
    My two MBP's are 2.4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.8. My TCs software is 7.5.2.
    I used to have AT&T DSL and now I have Sonic Fusion (Broadband using ADSL2+). So, two different modems, two different companies and the same problem. I know that the internet is reaching the TC, because if I remove the ethernet plug from the back of the TC and go directly into the MBP, internet works fine. I plug it back into the TC, the light goes green, yet, still no internet.
    Thanks for listening to this lengthy problem. Just trying to give all the facts.
    Although I really really don't think this is the problem, I need to add that at this new place, I'm using Powerline Adapters. So I'm going from the phone outlet in a far away room, into the modem, modem ethernet out into the Powerline in the far away room, Powerline in the living room, then into the TC, which feeds everything else. Right now, both MBP's are connecting to the internet fine, but the Blu-ray player won't connect. Last night one MBP could connect while the other wouldn't.
    I've tried Airport changing channels, changing robustness, changing the "service order" in my network preferences so that "Airport" is on top (did this last night to one of the MBPs). Last night I unhooked everything, then hooked it all back up. Things worked again. This morning, both MBPs worked fine. Both went to an office and worked there, then back home again and working fine. So, maybe resetting things helped. But like I said, right now, both MBP's are working, but the blu-ray won't.
    Thanks again for any ideas. My next step is to reset the TC, unless anyone has any other suggestions.

    editing to add my TC configuration:
    Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
    Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
    Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Channel 7 (this channel isn't used as much, checked with istumbler)
    Connect Using: Ethernet
    IP Address 70.36....
    Connection Sharing: Off (bridge mode)
    Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    hopefully this is enough info...
    thanks again.

  • Airport/Time Capsule dropping network in 5GHz only mode

    I have a Time Capsule configured for 802.11n only 5GHz secured with WPA/Personal I think. My black MacBook is constantly dropping connections. Go to airport menu and my network cannot be found. This happens even when I am right next it. Have to restart TC or wait several minutes for it to hopefully appear again. I just bought an Aluminum MacBook and I have the same problem.
    When I switch to B/G/N compatible everything is fine. I really wanted 5GHz to increase speeds accessing Time Machine backups.
    Any suggestions? Is this just a recent firmware issue?
    Thanks

    You can change the 5G only channel from "automatic" to several other choices by holding down the option key when clicking on the channel drop down icon.

  • Use of Time Capsule in network connected office?

    I have a time capsule that I love at home. I would also like to set up another one in my office at work. Our desktops are connected into a company wide wired network which is how we access the internet. Is it possible to just intercept the network cable and plug it into the back of the time capsule and then come back out of it to my desktop to create a wireless network in my office? I will keep the software at my computer.
    If not maybe I should talk to my IT guy to see if he will allow me to install it ahead of the cable/dsl modem if we have one?
    Thanks in advance

    This is exactly what I do. We have both wired and wireless. I plugged the ethernet cable into the WAN port of the TC, set the TC to "bridge" and I have a wireless network in my office.
    For what it's worth, I also have a USB hard drive plugged into the USB port AND a Brother 2170W laser printer wirelessly connected to the TC as well. On top of that, I also have a wireless net camera for security and it connects via the TC also.
    So the answer is absolutely, it works and in my case, once I got this rather complicated array of deviced coordinated, it has worked transparently. I backed up my 95GB of data on my MBP overnight (took about 7 hours I think) and since then it has been simple and convenient.

  • Unstable Time Capsule - Sporadic Network Connections Drop

    I just had a belkin router in, and then I got the time capsule, I replaced the belkin and now no connection (wireless) is persistent.  it connects/disconnects sporadically..  Plain ridiculous....any clues?
    This is the wifi setup....all wireless here

    The Radio Mode that you have chosen.....802.11a --- 802.11b/g.....will only allow an older "a" device to connect to the 5 GHz network. 
    You might want to consider having this setting at 802.11 "a/n", or 802.11 "n" only. Then faster "n" devices will be able to connect to the 5 GHz network. As it stands, you are forcing any "n" device that you have to try to connect to the "b/g" network.  If it connects, it will do so at much lower speeds.
    "a" devices will only connect at 54 Mbps (same speed as "g" devices), so I'm not sure what you are hoping to gain in having the 5 GHz network setup so only "a' devices will connect.
    Maybe I am missing something. Can you clarify here?

  • Using Time Capsule Without Network Connection

    In my room I have a USB printer connected to my Time Capsule.  Without configuring the time capsule to connect to my home's wireless network I'd like to:
    - Back up to my time capsule wirelessly using Time Machine
    - Be able to print wirelessly
    Is this possible? If so, how?
    Thank you.

    No it isn't possible.
    Edit.. LOL!! my answer is opposite to BOB.. I assume you want internet at the same time. He is assuming you will swap from using internet to only using the TC in local network and hence removing all internet connections. So my answer is based on how to get them working at the same time.
    What you want is two separate wireless networks.. with no links. And to use both networks simultaneously on only one wireless client card. No can do!!
    What is possible.
    You have to connect the TC to the main wireless router. I strongly recommend this be done by ethenet or an ethernet replacement technology like Ethernet over Power EOP .. the adapters are now cheap and fast enough for wireless link. You will turn off wireless in the TC although you can also set it up with identical ssid and security on a different channel.. then you have one flat network and all devices can roam.
    Alternatively..
    You need two wireless clients in the laptop/computer you use.
    You can buy a usb stick compatible with the OS used.. os x although you nowhere state the type of system. USB stick wireless are cheap and plenty are available that will work fine with Mac OS drivers.
    On the USB stick, setup manual network with different IP subnet to the main router, and no gateway or dns. This will allow you to communicate to two different subnets at the same time. (On OS X it does not strictly need such care with gateway and dns as you can control the order of devices better than on a pc.. just the same I would do it manually)
    Of course you could also just plug in ethernet and do the same thing.
    As per Bob definitely do the backup numero uno by ethenet.. it will take ages by wireless and the chance of a corrupted backup is so so much greater in which case it will just start again.

  • Time capsule losing AFP connection

    Need technical help.   I was hopeful that the 7.6.1 firmware upgrade would fix but it does not appear to the case.
    On network with several OS X 10.7 computers, the time capsule will lose AFP connection (causing Time Machine to fail) to all computers on the network after a period ranging from a few hours to several days.  When the AFP connection to the disk is lost, the time capsule is still functioning as a air wireless base station and will accept an SMB connection.
    The only cure appears to be to power cycle the time capsule which restarts the AFP capability within the time capsule.
    This is either a fault in the time capsule AFP capability or some network issue that impacts AFP and not SMB.
    Has anyone else suffering similar
