Can't Get Internet Through Time Capsule

I bought TC 500gb tonight, and went through the paper instructions:
Plugged everything I'll be running on it into the ports (my tivo network adapter, my g4, a usb hub w/ an external drive & a usb printer).
installed the disc into my macbook pro
proceeded to launch the airport utility
It followed the instructions the best I could, and it said at one point proceeding will cause a flashing amber light, do you wish to ignore it (and I chose to, for lack of any idea of what else to do).
Long story short: Neither computer is getting any internet in or out. Network seems to be fine, though-- I see time capsule and printing works and I can use my external usb drive, but NO INTERNET!!!
And there doesn't seem to be any way to go back and start over--- any suggestions?
I have Roadrunner internet, but the modem doesn't have a name on it. It is connected to the correct stuff on the back of the time capsule.
If not for the fact my neighbor has an open wireless, I doubt I'd be able to write this.
Please help. I'm very frustrated.

Hi,
Here's how we fixed it:
Push in the little button in the back of the time capsule with a paper clip or something for five seconds until it flashes amber rapidly.
Then open the airport utility, and also open your web browser--if you have internet working, and it is flashing amber, then click manual set up-- create a password for your wireless-- no need to mess with any of the settings to make them out of the ordinary or anything-- when you click update, it will say you have an incorrect setting regarding smpw, and there's an opportunity to unclick it-- do this, and then the time capsule will reboot, and the amber light will turn green, and your internet should work, if it is indeed the same problem I had-- they had never seen it before!
Good luck!

  • Can no longer get to internet through Time Capsule

    I recently had to give my iMac a static IP address, and no the wifi on my time capsule does not work.
    The time capsule is and has been plugged into my LAN, my iMac plugs into the time capsule and can connect to the internet fine.
    The time capsule has an IP address, has the correct DNS servers, router and domain.
    from my iphone i can connect to the time capsules wifi, but cannot get out to the internet.

    You have an iPhone question here, since you know that the Time Capsule is working correctly.  Try the iOS Troubleshooting Guide.

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

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

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

  • Can't get data off Time Capsule

    I had to erase my HD and reinstall Yosemite (multiple times) because my machines could not boot, shut down or run reliably. I used Migration Assistant to restore my applications and user files from my 2014 Time Capsule. But on my Macbook Pro, it lied: no applications were actually restored (possibly the reason I finally ended up with a machine that could boot up), and while it restored much of my filespace, it didn't restore my music or photos, at least 60 GB of data.
    I can't restore them using Time Machine because it seems to regard my erased HD as unrelated to the earlier one. And I can't open the sparsebundle in the Finder: I always get "connection failed". Resetting the TC (via Airport Utility) did not help. What can I do?

    Switching everything off, then on again later, seems to reset things enough. Now to copy stuff back manually... what a pain.

  • Can't get Internet through my own Network Connecti...

    Hi, I have a HH3, which I am constantly having to switch off and on again for devices to connect to the Internet. It's been happening for months, and last week BT sent me a new hub, but it hasn't fixed the problem. It seems that our devices connect to the router, but the router doesn't connect to the Internet.
    If I select the BT Wifi connection and log in via the Openzone homepage, I get Internet access. But this is not practical for all devices. My children can't play on their tablets and viewing / downloading TV on demand is pretty much impossible. And these were the main reasons for upgrading to Infinity.
    I've had several conversations with call centre support staff, but the problem persists.
    Can anybody tell me whether this is a settings issue that I can fix? My family is going nuts!

    EDIT: As you initially posted on the Infinity board I have assumed you have infinity. If you only have ADSL this will not apply to you.
    Make a direct connection from your PC/Laptop to the Openreach modem which will eliminate the homehub. Follow this guide to do that. Use your computer as normal to see if it disconnects. If it does disconnect you will know it is either a faulty modem or a line/exchange fault.
    Step 1: Remove the homehub from the modem
    Step2: Connect your pc/laptop into the modem using LAN1 port
    Step3: Open network and sharing centre on windows and click set up a new connection or network
    Step4: Connect to the internet then click make a new connection Broadband PPPoE
    Step5: Username [email protected] and the password as BT
    Step6: connect, If it doesn't,keep pressing try again until it does.

  • CAn't connect to Internet Through Time Capsule-Self Assigned IP Adress

    My iBook battery died. After connecting to power source, I can't connect to the internet. I get a message that the iBook is self assigning the IP address. How do I correct this? I've removed the battery & done several restarts with no success.

    Here's 10.4 directions, not to different from 10.5, see if it helps...
    Go to System Preferences
    Click Network
    Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
    Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
    Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
    Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
    Reboot
    Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.

  • I can Connect my iPhone to Time Capsule network, but I Cant get internett on it??

    I can Connect my iPhone to Time Capsule network, but I Cant get internett on it??

    Download 5.6 utility for Lion.. inbuilt version is hopeless.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Set TC and wireless names to short, no spaces, no special characters.. ie pure alphanumeric.
    Lock the wireless to fixed channels.. only 2.4ghz matters.. as iphone cannot connect to 5ghz.
    Try 6, 11 first then 1. I think bluetooth may be set to use lower channels.
    That seems to have fixed it for most people.

  • Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
    Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
    Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
    You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you?  If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
    Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
    In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • Can't print through Time Capsule, but I can using USB to my MacBook

    I posted something similar in the Time Capsule forum, but thought I'd try here too. I just got a new Canon MF4690, and I can print to it using USB from my MacBook just fine. Not so when printing wirelessly through Time Capsule. I can see the printer, but the job stops every time. When I set up the printer the driver is "generic" using the Time Capsule connection, but has the specific model number when I add the printer using USB.
    I can see the printer in the Printer preference pane, and in Airport Utility, but when I print a job, under "status", it says "stopped". I'm baffled that this is happening! I hope someone can help.

    Would I connect my Canon to the TC and set up the printer? Do I choose IP, AppleTalk or Other?
    If the TC is providing the wireless access and is your only Ethernet hub, then yes you would connect directly to it. If you have another Ethernet hub connected to the TC, then you could connect the Canon to it. Either way, you want to use the Ethernet connection of the Canon and set a valid ip address in it.
    With an ip address set, you can then add the printer by using the More Printers > Canon IP (UFR2) menu. This window lets you enter the ip address of the Canon and a queue name of LP. Then when you press okay, the UFR2 software should select the correct driver for your printer.

  • Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

    Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

    Do the usual wireless things.
    Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
    Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
    For testing take off the security altogether.
    The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.

  • I can't connect to internet using Time Capsule router.

    My hard drive recently died. I took the iMac to the Apple store and had a 500 GB hard drive installed. I disconnected my Time Capsule so the Apple rep could restore my data. Now when I try to reconnect to the internet via Time Capsule router, it won't connect. The cable modem is fine, and the Time Capsule's status seems OK with the green light. It even seems to be backing up OK. I don't think I did anything differently, other than unplug it in order to have the Apple rep restore my data. Any thoughts out there?

    It sounds like the cable company neglected to mention to you that you must completely reset the modem whenever you change the device that it is connected to. That's because the modem "associates" with a device and "remembers" the settings.
    If you then change devices, the modem will "look" for the old device that was connected to it and it will of course not "find" it, so it won't connect.
    That's why you need to do the complete sequence that I provided.
    If you still cannot connect after the complete reset, then you may have a defective modem. I'm not trying to pick on the cable company....and yours may be an exception...but the last time my modem was having problems, the provider kept insisting that "everything looks good". But, they always say that.
    I turned the modem off and called them back an hour later and they still said "everything looks good".
    An Ethernet cable has a slightly wider plug than a phone cable. If that's the only connector on the modem, then it must be the right one. Ethernet cables do fail. You might want to check your cable, just in case.

  • No internet with Time Capsule

    I cant get internet through my time capsule. When i run network diagnostics, the network status says that:
    Airport, Airport Settings, Network Settings and ISP are fine, but the Internet and Server have failed.
    I use a cable modem from virgin media.

    I've just installed time capsule with one airport extreme - which is all working fine except that I now can't get into the internet: somehow, I've ended up with two wifi networks - a new one one that the Time Capsule works with but no internet and one that connects me to the internet but not Time Capsule (the wifi network I had beforehand)
    I've connected my original wireless modem to the Time Capsule via an ethernet cable. Airport utilities tells me this cable is not connected so I suspect the problem is something to do with that.
    Do I need a wireless modem at all with Time Capsule?
    Unless you expect problems with range, you might try replacing your AirPort Extreme with the Time Capsule. There are ways to get them to work together, but you'll probably be happier and have less hassle just doing the replacement.
    I'd start by using the "Manual Setup" option of AirPort Utility to do a "File -> Save A Copy As..." of your existing AIrPort Extreme configuration. Then connect the Time Capsule in its place and use "File -> Import..." to bring your old settings into the TIme Capsule. There are probably some things you'll need to tweak, but the old settings will at least get you going in the right direction.

  • Making Snow Leopard Server services accessible through Time Capsule

    Sorry, this will be a fairly long explanation. I think this is the right forum but the question kind of spans several component elements.
    During the setup of Snow Leopard Server I let it configure the Time Capsule for services that it is providing, which I want to make available to both the local network and to computers coming in from the Internet. However, there seem to be some conflicts between Time Capsule ports and Snow Leopard ones.
    First my set-up: I have Verizon FIOS and have set up my Actiontech Router into bridge mode to the Time Capsule so that the Time Capsule grabs the public IP address. The Snow Leopard Server has a dedicated private IP from the Time Capsule through the DHCP reservation. I have a dynamic DNS setup which consistently points to the public IP address assigned to the Time Capsule. After starting services on Snow Leopard Server, I can see the port mappings created on the Time Capsule by the server allocated to the server's dedicated private IP address. However, the File Sharing (AFP, SMB) entry can't be enabled because the ports used for those services conflict with the ports opened by the Time Capsule to enable backups from client Time Machines (TCP Ports 548, 139). Therefore, any external access to those ports are going to the Time Capsule and not routed to the Snow Leopard Server.
    Two questions:
    1. Should I map the DNS hostname to the Time Capsule on the Hostnames screen on AirPort utility? While this will enable remote access to the Time Capsule (so that if my client computers are outside coming from the Internet), will this mess up remote access to the Snow Leopard Server?
    2. How do I get around the problem of the port conflicts between what Time Machine needs to get to the Time Capsule for backups versus enabling the ports for AFP and SMB on the server?

    I actually found an Apple support tip and am posting it here to answer the question:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2963
    Bottom line: you can't have both devices doing file sharing unless you set up VPN access.
