  • Can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices?

    can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices? we have it connected wirelessly but devices connected to the ethernet ports are not working.

    Not as an additional router.. the TC will be plugged into the main router via ethernet (or ethernet equivalent)..
    Then the TC is setup in bridge mode. It will simply act as a Switch and HDD.
    The wireless can be setup in a number of ways.
    From your convenience point of view use it in roaming network mode..
    you simply give the TC the same Wireless Name as the existing routers SSID.
    Same security setting and password. WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES which is the best.
    But they both use different wireless channels.. normally if you leave the TC on auto it will work fine, but I prefer to control the network.. so set the main router to say 1 and the TC to 11.
    You can also use a completely different wireless name etc.. that is up to you. It is still a single flat network and the only thing that is important is only having one router.

  • 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 i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • Can time capsule boost the wireless network without beeing connected with cabel, hence wirelessly?

    Can time capsule boost the wireless network without beeing connected with cabel, hence wirelessly?

    Yes, providing that the wireless network has been created by another Apple "n" router.
    The "extend a wireless network" feature on the Time Capsule is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

  • Time Capsule Loses Connection Can't Back Up

    I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with Lion, and a 6 Month old Time Capsule.
    I just set up my time capsule to extend to the wirless network in my new house. Everything is working perfectly fine untill about halfway thorugh the back up and I get an error that says "Time Capsule was connected to your network but isnt anymore" sometimes if finds it again and if not I do a soft reset, Re-join my network and start all over with the back up... only to "loose connection" even though my internet is at full bars and the time capsule and computer are sitting right next to one antoher.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you

    Extend wireless is never as solid as single hop wireless.
    What wireless router are you extending?
    Can you swap so the TC is the main router?
    If you are sitting next to the TC.. plug in ethernet.. that is the one and only reliable method.
    But you might still need to set fixed IP addresses.

  • Need Help, Time capsule stoped connecting

    need help, time capsule stoped connecting. the yellow light is flashing.
    I have important file that can't lose them, how can I restore connection without losing all files?
    Hope someone can help me
    Best regards

    Best thing to do is connect your computer to the Time Capsule (LAN port) using an ethernet cable. Once connected, run Airport Utility and it should let you know why the light is yellow and attempt to fix the problem. If the problem persists, you should either re-configure the Time Capsule properly or conduct a hard reset and start the configuration over from the factory settings.

  • Can time capsule be used for wireless backup without serving as a router?

    can time capsule be set and used for wireless backup without serving as a router?

    Not if you want it to work.
    If you do want stand alone .. ie a TC sitting all on its lonesome with no internet connection.. then reset to factory and start over..
    The TC has to be in router mode so it can handle dhcp and addressing.
    Ignore all the problems.
    BUT then you can connect your computer to TC for backup
    OR
    you can connect to main wireless router for internet..
    You cannot do both.. at the same time.
    UNLESS you have ethernet connection.. to either main modem or TC.. if you have two networks and two different network clients, then you can do both at once but the setup is tricky.

  • Help! Time Capsule not connected to the Internet

    Hi everyone!
    I have this problem, and hope someone can help me.
    In my house I have this network
    Modem/Router Netgear DGN2200 connected via ethernet to Airport Express.
    Airport Express is set to create a wireless network, bridge mode.
    In the house I also have a Time Capsule set to extend the wireless network, bridge mode.
    Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to my TV decoder to have extra services through the Internet.
    Ok. All worked fine until a couple of days ago.
    Then, I didn't change anything but Time Capsule (and so the TV decoder) seems to have no acces to the Internet anymore.
    But Time Capsule is still available on the local network, so I can access to it, make backups and so on.
    What should I do?!
    Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English.
    Matteo

    Did you try a simple reboot of the network devices.. turn off all the network stuff..
    Restart in correct order..
    1. Modem.. wait 2 min.
    2. Express.. wait 2min.
    3. TC.. wait 2min.
    Then try the TV.. if it doesn't work reset both the express and TC to factory.. and redo the setup.. you had them setup correctly but please use SMB names.. since the TV will not talk apple.. SMB names are short.. 2-20 characters.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    so for example the name of the Express.. AEx Name of the TC.. TC1
    Name for wireless. Aex24ghz
    Use a different name for 5ghz if your Express is a dual band latest model. Aex5ghz
    Use fixed channel so that it is locked.. eg. 2.4ghz on channel 11 5ghz on channel 40.
    The TC will follow the wireless exactly.
    See how you go.

  • Can Time Capsule Function as an Internet Router for Wired Clients?

    I have a 1st Generation Time Capsule with three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports. Currently the Time Capsule is connected to a 12-year old Linksys router which connects with my DSL modem and functions as the router for the Time Capsule and several other wired devices connected to the Linksys Ethernet ports.
    Can I get rid of the Linksys and use the Time Capsule as the Internet gateway and router for the whole network? All the documentation I've been able to find seems ambiguous. For example, a knowledge base article, "Airport Utility 6.x: Connect to the Internet using PPPoE" (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5099) says "...Time Capsule...uses DHCP and NAT to share that IP connection with computers on your wireless network. (emphasis mine).
    If I can use the Time Capsule as a wired router, and I want to connect more than three wired devices, can I connect them to the Time Capsule via an Ethernet switch?
    Thanks for your help!

    The Time Capsule is both a wired and wireless router, so it can connect to a modem and function as the main router for the network.
    If you do not need the wireless function of the Time Capsule, the wireless radio can be turned off manually once the device has been configured. If you need more Ethernet connections, a 5-port, 8-port, 16-port etc. Ethernet switch can be connected to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
    If your Linksy is currently configured to connect using PPPoE settings, then the Time Capsule will need to be setup to provide those settings in order to connect to the Internet. Most DSL providers require a user name and password to establish the PPPoE service.

  • Can time capsule be accessed remotely

    Can time capsule be accessed remotely? Via macbook pri on another wifi network

    Just google for this one.. there are loads of video on utube etc..
    The answer is yes.. but it depends as all things do..
    BTMM and iCloud is designed for remote access to TC and Mac.

    The TC has to be the main router in the network..
    The remote network must not block the protocols required for connection..

  • Can time capsule be used on windows7

    can time capsule be used on windows7

    We have Macs and PCs in our house.  The mac is set up and running fine on TC/TM. 
    Questions is - what is the best way to also use TC to back up the windows 7 machines?
    The windows machine is set up on the wireless network - but not currently sharing files.
    If not practical I'll stay with the Windows external hard drive to back up that laptop.
    Thanks.
    You can just connect to the TC and use a backup software.. I backup to TC using Macrium Reflect which is free for disk image.. paid for version does incremental.
    Make sure you have plenty of space though on the TC for all the computers hdd usage.. with about 2x or 3x that space spare. TM uses a lot of free space and gets slow and unreliable deleting old backups if there isn't sufficient space.
    An NTFS formatted disk makes good sense for a pc.. if you want to see and use the files you backup.

  • Can time capsule keep backup files that are removed from my computer

    Can time capsule keep backup files that are removed from my computer? I am a photographer and have a ton of files that take too much space on my computer. I'd like to have a backup of them but keep them off of my computer. Does time capsul allow this?

    files you remove from your computer will be removed from your time machine backups sooner or later.
    better store important files on an external HD which, if connected directly to your computer and given enough space on your TC, can be backed up using time machine.

  • G4 imac and time capsule wireless connection

    I have a dual band time capsule working wirelessly with 3 macs all intel (24 iMac, mbp 13, mb 13) with no issues. I was trying to connect a 17" flat panel G4 to the same wireless network on the time capsule and it fails to see the network.
    When I type in the network name and password (WPA) it comes back with "encryption method not supported by the wireless network". Although all the others macs are working on this same network using the same encryption, the old iMac refuses to play nice. Is there something else I've overlooked?
    This G4 has been on a various wireless networks over the past 5 years. It is running 10.4.11 and I know it will not support time machine, but still hoping it can share the wireless network.
    Thanks

    James,
    You need to configure the Time Capsule to "join" the wireless network that is being provided by the Netgear router. The Time Capsule will connect using wireless only in this type of configuration.
    Then, the Netgear, Time Capsule and your computer will all be on the same wireless network and you will not have to "switch" networks to access the Internet or back up to the Time Capsule.
    Before we make any changes, we want to make sure that you understand that the Time Capsule will not perform any routing functions when it is configured to "join a wireless network".
    The Ethernet ports on the  Time Capsule are not enabled in this setup, therefore you will not be able to use Ethernet to back up to the Time Capsule. Backups will be over wireless only, which is significantly slower than an Ethernet connection.
    This setup can be tricky because you must know the exact type of wireless security that the Netgear router is using in order to provide the correct settings to the Time Capsule.
    If the Time Capsule does not receive the correct settings during setup, you will receive a message that there has been an error and you must start all over again with a complete factory default reset of the Time Capsule and try again.
    So, before we go any further, we need to ask....what is the exact type of wireless security that your Netgear router is using?

  • Time Capsule wireless connection through Netgear connection

    I am now using a Netgear N300 Gigabite modem/router as my main access point (internet et al). However, I want to continue to use my Time Capsule as a wireless drive.
    I'm not sure what I should set the Netgear and Time Capsule so that the Time Capsule does not interfere with the Netgear internet connection. Right now that is what it is doing. I have to set the Time Capsule to bridge and connect to it separately.
    So, is there a way to access the TC hard drive through the Netgear wirelessly?
    i.e. with my laptop I want to stay connected to the Netgear and have internet access but also be able to connect to TC through that Netgear connection.
    I don't want to ethernet the TC to the NG. I have my TC ethernet connected to my iMac. So I need to have the NG and TC cooperating wirelessly.
