Airport time capsule with another Modem/router

I'm considering buying an Airport time capsule. However I have already a modem/ router in place for fiberoptics (Dutch: KPN ExperiaBox), this is also for phone and TV, so changing anything in this setup is no option.
My question is if the TC will work when it is connected via an ethernet cable that is coming from the ExperiaBox.
(Fyi I'm looking for a standard functionality, not for an extensive customizing)
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Twan

You simply bridge the TC and it will work just fine.

The Time Capsule automatically broadcasts a simultaneous dual band wireless signal. Wireless devices will connect to the band with the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the Time Capsule.

Airport time capsule with a mac mini

so can i use airport time capsule with a mac mini

What do you want to do with it??
The TC is designed as a network target for TM on any Mac computer.. so of course it will work with a mini.
It is also a standard wireless router for a network.. that will work on any network client device..
It is NOT designed as a NAS.. ie network storage.. I recommend people not use it for that purpose. But people can do stuff that I don't recommend.
Good luck when the TC dies and their files are all lost.
Did you want to do something different to the norm??

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

On your Mac.......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
Click Erase Disk
On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
The operation will only take a few minutes.
Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs. Back up one Mac first, then back up the other. Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?

Very very poorly..
It can join a wireless network..
See instructions here.

End result is super slow wireless connection to the TC and all packets pass through the hotspot so expect internet to drop to nothing while you are backing up.

HT1178 How setup and configure time capsule with ADSL modem for WiFi internet

For my first time time capsule 2TB set up,would like to know about configuration time capsule with ADSL modem for use WiFi internet!

You will want to turn off the WiFi on your modem (if there is WiFi on your modem). Connect the TC and the modem together with an Ethernet cable. Then, turn on your TC and set it up to be in bridged mode, connection type 'Ethernet'.

HT4259 Can I not use this Apple Airport Time Capsule with my Netgear AC router to for a mesh basic service set?

I just purchased a 2 TB Airport Time Capsule...I guess I to excited to fully look into things
my intent was to simply provide good internets to my downstairs and hopefully out to the garage. The plan was to Buy this Airport TC and form up a MBSS (Mesh Basic Service Set) which is basicaly and Extended Service Set..but without the wires.
I see guides to do it, however I see no guide including an Apple product communicating with another brand...
any help would be appriciated
I currently have a NETGEAR R6200 AC router upstairs in my office, I seem

Apple uses proprietary settings that are designed to only allow other Apple devices to connect to "extend" a network wirelessly.
Occasionally, we do see a post from a user who claims to have beat the system, but unfortunately it never seems to provide any details on exactly how this was accomplished.

How do I install Airport Time Capsule with ATT Uverse when two of my modems are wireless?

I recently purchased an Airport Time Capsule so that I can back up multiple Apple devices. I currently have ATT Uverse and my internet provider. Also, two of my modems are wireless. How can I set up the Time Capsule so the the two wireless modems will still work?

I think you are using wrong terminology so can I ask exactly what is the model number of the wireless modem??
The Uverse is already a router.. and I guess you have cable service.. so there is no need for more modems.. more likely you mean you have two wireless routers and these should be setup as Wireless Access Points.. (WAP or AP). If they are working as routers then you have far too many routers. If they are working as modems you have far too many modems.
It is impossible to tell you how to setup the TC until we know what the setup is.
But let me suggest the most straight forward approach is to plug the TC into the Uverse by ethernet (it cannot be used by wireless.. so this is necessary). Run the TC in bridge mode.. and create a wireless network. Test if you then can access it from your network client devices and do backups from Macs.. if so there is no need for the wireless modems.. leave them off.

Setting up time capsule with existing wireless router and another time capsule

Hello,
I just bought my first mac (MBP) and a time capsule. We already have a wireless router, and my brother has an imac and his time capsule connected to it. The apple support people said that i couldn't use my new time capsule as a backup for my files because it would have to be in bridge mode and that would cause all sorts of problems and the backup would probably fail. That I would have to use my brother's time capsule to back up my files.
Is this true?? I find it hard to believe this issue hasn;t come up before.
Thanks,
Deborah

Thanks, Bob! If I may impose on you a little bit more, would you be able to guide me a little bit in terms of the setup?
Would I need to connect my time capsule directly to the router for first time set up?
If so, would I have to keep it connected to the router all the time after the first time set up, or can I keep it in another room?
Our wireless network was created back when we were a Windows household, so we still control it using Network Magic on an old laptop.
I unlocked the network (using Network Magic) when I tried to set up the Time Capsule (wirelessly, and before calling Apple), and after entering the network password my macbook recognized the TC and I got the good little green light on the TC. As soon as I locked up the network, I got the flashing amber light on the TC and airport utility couldn't find it anymore (using Airport utility version 6.1)... I unlocked the network again, the light turned green. I locked it back up, the light started flashing amber again...
Thanks, I really appreciate your help!

How to configure Airport Time Capsule with IP Camera?

I have recently switched from a DLINK Router (DIR-655) to the latest 3TB Airport Time Capsule. The ATC works great, super fast etc...
However...
I had an IP Camera (Trendnet TV-IP572-WI) connected to my DLINK Router, using a Dynamic DNS account (dyndns) to access if from outside my home (i.e. from the Internet). The configuration on the DLINK was quite straightforward. (Virtual Server)
Question: How to do the same with Airport Time Capsule ? I had a look at the detailed settings menu in the Airport Configuration Utility. but cannot find anything like this (Virtual Server, Port Forwarding etc...)
Many thanks for your help !

What is the make and model number of your "modem"?
Most modems these days are actually modem/routers or gateway devices....which would require that the port forwarding be done on the "modem"....not on the Time Capsule.
If you did not see any settings for DHCP Reservations and Port Settings when you looked around in AirPort Utility, this indicates that the Time Capsule is likely configured to operate in Bridge Mode.......and it is your "modem" that is actually the router for the network.
Open up AirPort Utility again, click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the window
Check the setting for Router Mode.......which is likely set to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Is it?

Using Airport Time Capsule with CenturyLink C1000Z

I just received an Apple Airport Time Capsule (3Tb) for Christmas and want to use it as our home wi-fi. Up until now, we have been using the wi-fi which is supplied by our DSL carrier (CenturyLink) through the C1000Z router/dsl modem combo they supplied when we started service with them.
Here's how I have it set up:
1) Wall to CenturyLink C1000Z
2) CenturyLink C1000Z to Apple Airport Time Capsule 3Tb
3) Apple Airport Time Capsule 3Tb to iMac (direct Ethernet connection)
I plugged everything in as described above and everything "seems" to be working. My question is:
Do I need to configure anything special in either the Airport TimeCapsule or the CenturyLink C1000Z to make this setup work better?
When I go into the Airport Utility and select "Network" the Router Mode shows "Off (Bridge Mode)", with Network Options showing "Block incoming IPv6 connections" and "Allow incoming IPSec authentication" checked by default. The internet tab shows connection using DHCP, with Internet Options configuring IPv6 automatically using IPv6 Native mode, with "Enable IPv6 Connection Sharing" checked.
I've read in some sites that I need to configure the CenturyLink C1000Z in a special way, or my internet speeds will be negatively affected by this setup. Can someone please assist? CenturyLink tech support was of absolutely no assistance in this area, even unwilling to try. Thanks for your help--I look forward to the education!

There is nothing wrong with the setup. ADSL is never that fast.. Do the speed tests and see. Plug straight into the modem and do a speedtest.. then plug into the TC and do the test..
Is the Mac not getting full speed?
What makes you think your losing something?
No ISP can help with home network.. I can understand their reluctance to get involved.. that is the case anywhere and everywhere. Home networking can go from simple to complex in the extreme very quickly.
The most important part of this setup to your original specs is not mentioned.
I just received an Apple Airport Time Capsule (3Tb) for Christmas and want to use it as our home wi-fi.
To use it as your home wifi, it is essential that you create a wireless network in the TC.. there is no need to turn off the wifi in the Century modem router although doing so is probably a good idea if the two are sitting right next to each other.
Otherwise tell us what issues you are having.

Using Time Capsule with 2nd wireless router

Hi,
I have been trying to extend my time capsule and have had limited luck.
I have my time capsule in my office which is a separate building behind my house. The cable internet service runs to this location. I purchased an airport express and put that in the house so we would have wireless access in the house. I have tried every location available in the house and it is still really slow. (I get a transmit rate of 270 in the office. In the house it ranges from 7 to 20).
So, I was thinking maybe I could run a 30ft or so ethernet cable from the time capsule to another wireless n router in the house. So when out in the office I would connect to the TC and in the house to the Linksys (or whatever I buy). My question: would this even work? Can I have 2 wireless routers and would the Linksys work if it was connected via ethernet to the timecapsule vs. being connected directly to the cable modem?
Alternatively, can you connect 2 cable modems to one incoming cable line if I could find another cable modem somewhere?

Sure, happy to help.
Temporarily, move the Express close to your computer and connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the Express for the configuration.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Select your AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode...set to Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name...Exact same name as your Time Capsule network
Radio Mode....802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) would be a good choice
Wireless Channel...Automatic
Wireless Security....Exact same setting as your Time Capsule network
Wireless Password....Exact same setting as your Time Capsule network
Wireless
Click the Internet icon
Look for the setting for Connection Sharing at the bottom of the page and set this to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update at the lower right of the window and close AirPort Utility immediately and disconnect the ethernet cable as soon as you see the message that your settings have been stored.
You can now move the Express to the location you need and connect the ethernet cable and power it up.

How can I make my new AirPort Time Capsule with VOIP?

I purchased an AirPort Time Capsule because of the modem capability. The modem we have from the phone company isn't very good.
Now I have a little problem. I forgot we have our phone over internet and I cannot figure out how to set it all up.
Any ideas for my latest problem? I'd run back to the store/genius bar, but it's a ferry ride away and I'm not sure it would do any good to go back because all my phone "stuff" (cords, etc) wall jacks, is all here.
Current set up is this:
Modem box has ethernet (yellow) cable going from it to imac. It also has blue cable going from it to ATA Router (smaller black box). Each box (white larger "modem" box, and black smaller ATA Router) have a phone cord going from wall (2 separate jacks) to the box. And obviously each has it's own power cord.
I tried moving all plugs from white modem box to AP TC, but there really isn't a phone jack on back of APTC. It clicked in place in one of the <--> ports, but I'm getting a flashing amber light on the front, and no internet connection.
Any ideas for my latest issue?? I know so much more about computers than I ever wanted to know, but it obviously isn't enough.
Thanks!

I purchased an AirPort Time Capsule because of the modem capability.
There is no modem in the airport routers.. they are all plain ethernet routers.
It sounds like you have adsl modem.. and I would just leave it alone.
But if you want to play and your ISP supports PPPOE and the modem allows bridging or bridge mode.. then you can bridge the modem and use TC to establish the link to the ISP.. on the internet tab use PPPOE and put in your ISP username and password.
You can then plug the ATA into one of the LAN ports of the TC.
Overall this is probably not a great idea.
Exactly what modem are you talking about .. make and model from the base please?? Who is your ISP?
What model is the ATA? Actual model numbers from it please.
Generally you will plug the TC into the modem and use simple bridge mode.
Even though the airport wizard might attempt to take over as main router.. please do the setup manually and choose bridge mode.
See Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule

Set up Time Capsule w/ belkin modem/router AND DSL splitter

G'day,
I've got an existing network set up and would like to add the Time Capsule into the network. I'd like to use my current hardware if possible but am willing to purchase stuff if I need to.
There are some posts on my model of Belkin modem/router, but it didn't really help me.
Here are my machines:
1) PC - desktop (ethernet networking card, Windows 7,
2) Laptop (wireless networking, Windows 7)
3) Macbook Air (wireless networking)
4) iPhone (wireless networking)
Here are my hardware:
A) Wall socket
B) DSL splitter (3 x ports - port for line, port for phone, port for modem)
C) Cordless phone
D) Belkin modem/router (model number F5D7633-4A - 1 x ADSL port, 4 x Ethernet cable ports)
E) Time Capsule
Here is my current set up:
Wall socket > phone cable > Splitter > phone cable to phone, phone cable to modem/router > ethernet cable from modem/router to PC
This solution gives me internet access via the ethernet cable to the PC and via the Belkin modem/router wirelessly to the Laptop. However, I haven't been able to connect my Macbook Air to this network yet - it doesn't seem to work.
So my question is, how can I include my Time Capsule into the network. Will I need another modem? I read about a bridge but I have no idea what that is or where to find that setting.
Also, can someone explain how to get my Macbook Air to connect to the network?
Can someone talk me through exactly what extra hardware I need and what I need to do to set it all up?
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Bob,
Thanks for chiming in. Could you talk me through how to do that? I'm a numpty and just haven't figured out which ports to plug which cords into, etc. If you or someone else could dumb it really right down that would be sweet.
Also, the Belkin is a modem/router, not a router. I am under the assumption that I need a modem to access the internet and that the Time Capsule is just a router.
Is that right?
Chris

Network apple time capsule with other modem

I am way over my head here. I am trying to figure out how to "bridge" my new apple time capsule with my ATT Uverse Modem. I have the time capsule primarily for backup, but it serves a wireless function as well does the ATT Uverse Modem. Someone did this for me in the past, but my Time Capsule died, and I disconnected it. I can not figure out how to wire it all back together. Is there a diagram out there?

Plug the TC into a computer.. complete isolation from the network.
Open the airport utility.
Put the TC in bridge mode.
Go to the wireless page and setup wireless .. create a wireless network. I recommend you do roaming network and so space the TC and the uverse modem by a few feet.
But it is up to you.. you can use a completely different network name and security if you want.

Although the article is for multiple apple routers it will be fine with 2 different routers.
Only I would set fixed wireless channels.
