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.

  • Time Capsule is connected wirelessly and I need to use ethernet ports for other devices.

    I have a 1st Gen Time capsule 802.11n and an Airport Extreem round hockey puck style.  My airport utillity program is version 6.2  My OS is 10.7.5 My internet is from a verizon hot spot Jetpak. All my devices, laptop, desk top, printer, and time machine are running off this jetpak.
    How can I use the ethernet ports on the back of my time capsule for a device that I had pluged in to my airport extreem?  Before I had verizon, I had hughes net for my internet provider. My time capsule was the main unit in a WDS network with the airport extreem. I no longer have Hughes Net and I need to run this item that was pluged into the airport extreem ethernet port.
    Of course with the newer airport utillity software (6.2) I can not control the older airport extreem anymore. This does not help my situation

    You need to load the older utility.. 5.6 is still available for lion.

    WDS is hidden option so hold down the option key..
    But I would search around for a cheap airport extreme N square type.. doesn't matter how old and you can pick up the older ones for $50 or so easily.. Then you use wireless extend which works much better than WDS. Using WDS you are killing wireless speed for everything.

  • Can I stream a movie from my Macbook to my Apple TV on one display, and still use my Macbook for other things?

    I have a Macbook Pro and an Apple TV. What I'd like to do is stream a movie from my CinemaNow Account to my television by using my Apple TV and my Macbook. I know that I can do this my using the mirroring feature, however then I can no longer use my Macbook for anything else because my TV will only display what is on the screen of my Macbook. Now with this is mind, what then is the point of having multiple displays through the use of my Apple TV, if only one display can be used at a time unless they both show the same image? Or is there a way for me to be able to stream the movie to my TV and still use my Macbook for other purposes (multi-tasking)? 

    To enable a second display over AirPlay, you first need to be connected to the same network as your Apple TV. Next, open System Preferences > Displays, and select your Apple TV from the “AirPlay Display” drop-down menu.
    Once you do this, your display may flash as the second display connection is acquired, and the Apple TV takes over as the second display. If the displays are mirrored, then you can correct this by opening the “Arrangement” tab in System Preferences > Displays, and ensuring that the “Mirror Displays” checkbox is unchecked.
    In this same “Arrangement” tab, you can move the displays around in the pane to ensure that they're positioned correctly, relative to your physical space (usually side-by-side, or top-down). The primary display here is denoted here by the Menu bar on the display. The arrangement helps with being able to drag windows from one display to the next: if your secondary display is arranged to be to the right of your primary one, for example, you can drag things to it through the right side of your primarcy screen.

  • 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.

  • Can Time Capsule be a wireless client?

    Can Time Capsule be a wireless client?

    It can, but this is not officially supported by Apple.  Most users should avoid this type of configuration.....even if they can figure out how to do it.
    Backups will take twice as long because the signal must "hop" from your computer to the main router and then "hop" again to the Time Capsule. In addition to taking more time, this doubles the chances of an error occurring.
    The Ethernet ports are not enabled on the Time Capsule in this type of configuration, so it is not possible to backup using Ethernet at all.

    Can I airplay a movie from safari on my MacBook to Apple TV and still use the computer for something else at the same time?

    Hi frogjt,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Great question! You can absolutely do this in OS X 10.9. The attached article explains how the process of using AirPlay with Apple TV to create a second display. Also, towards the bottom of the article there are instructions on how to set your Displays preferences on the computer to make sure the TV and MacBook Pro displays are set up the way you want them to be.

  • Can Time Capsule Join Existing Wireless Network?

    I currently work in a building with a wireless network. In my own office, I use AX to join that wireless network and I connect a local printer to the USB port.
    From some posts, I've gotten the idea that the Time Capsule will not join an existing wireless network.
    Is that the case?

    That is correct - Time Capsule cannot be configured to function as a wireless client on an existing wireless network. The only Apple Airport product currently able to do that is the Airport Express device.
    It can be configured as a remote base station in a wireless distribution system (WDS), but this would require the wireless network's main base station to be another Time Capsule or any model of Airport Extreme base station.

  • Setting up Time Capsule as "Access Point" and not using router feature

    I would like to use my Time Capsule as a wireless access point for a laptop. What settings in Airport Utility do I need to make?
    Here's my setup:
    Internet -> DSL Modem -> Linksys (wired) router -> Ethernet Switch -> Time Capsule.
    Connect Using: Ethernet
    Configure IPv4: Manually
    IP address: 192.168.1.20
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.168.8.1
    Connection Sharing: Off - Bridge Mode

    Follow up to my question.
    Got my laptop to access the internet via the Time Capsule. How? By having my ethernet switch connected to the WAN port of the Time Capsule - not the LAN port.
    Internet ->DSL Modem -> Ethernet Switch -> Time Capsule (WAN port)
    I noticed that makes it so computers on my wired LAN can't use 'Airport Utility' to access the Time Capsule. I have to move the ethernet cable from the ethernet switch to a Time Capsule LAN port, in order for my wired LAN computers to see my Time Capsule.
    Is there a way, so I don't have to unplug from the Time Capsule WAN - to LAN port?

  • HT201343 can you mirror say desktop 2 and still use your mac on desktop 1 with the movie playing on the tv?

    I'm interested in Apple TV for the mirroring feature through AirPlay, but will only purchase if I can still use my mac as normal whilst i'm watching what is being mirrored on the tv. Is this possible in any way? like possibly having the movie playing on desktop 2 and mirroring that and still use the mac with the other desktops to browse the internet etc?

    No, AirParrot isn't a solution for dexta,
    AirParrot gives mirroring function to older computer that are unsupported by the Apple's mirrorring function.  Dexta is looking to extend is display which isn't a feature of AirParrot.
    AppleTV will only gives you direct access to some web content using the builtin features like YouTube, Netflix, etc.  If you are looking for unsupported access to other website without using mirroring, then the AppleTV isn't the best hardware to answer your need.

  • Time Capsule woes -- Connection timeouts and can't connect with one Macbook

    This is my second Time Capsule. Here's the scenario:
    I have a Netopia 3347 DSL modem. That feeds into the Time Capsule in bridge mode. There is a MacBook (metal case), iBook (yes, it's old), two iphones, a color printer and an iPad that can all connect to the Time Capsule just fine. The problem is my MacBook can't connect. The offending computer is a 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running SL 10.6.6. This computer can connect to the Netopia just fine, so I know its internal Airport works. After several go arounds with Apple tech support, I'm still nowhere.
    Here are the symptoms:
    1. I can see the TC's network SSID in the airport pull down menu. If I select the TC, a popup appears and asks for a password. If I enter the password, I'll get a connection timeout error.
    2. On the rare occasions where it does connect, I can't open a webpage. Network diagnostics has red dots for ISP Internet and Server
    3. On the even rarer occasions where it does connect, and I can access a webpage, it's unbearably slow, and the no-surf problem reappears after a few seconds. The red dots on the Network Diagnostics reappear.
    Apple tech support was not helpful. I've power cycled everything a million times (and that doesn't explain why other computers can connect.) I know it's not my computer, because it can connect to the Netopia just fine.
    I am STUMPED.

    Magnificent! Problem solved...   Isn't there a "this solved my problem" button somewhere??  Thanks and thanks again!

  • Can Time Capsule be the wireless router for my MacBook Pro and my iMac G5?

    My MacBook Pro was simple to hook up to Time Capsule, but now my iMac G5 will not connect to the internet. Any ideas?

    Hello bluefeather. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    How do you have the iMac G5 connected to the Time Capsule (TC) ... by Ethernet or wirelessly? If wirelessly, try connecting via Ethernet ... can it access the Internet now? What version of OS X are you running on the iMac?

  • How do I set up my AirPort Time Capsule to connect wirelessly to my VisionNet modem?

        I'm trying to get my AirPort Time Capsule to work with my landline phone DSL company. They supply all customers with a VisionNet modem/router. My problem is getting the Capsule to work wirelessly with the VisionNet modem. I want to put the Capsule on the other end of the house so I have internet connectivity all around my house. I have no idea how to do this. Is there anyone out there who is tech savvy enough to help me? Your help and response will be truly appreciated.

    It will not work.. Apple routers cannot wirelessly extend other brands..
    You must plug the TC into the modem router with ethernet.. and put it in bridge mode. You can then get another apple router, like an express or extreme (or even another TC) to extend its wireless.
    This is fairly typical btw if you are thinking apple is being exclusivist.. well they are but the fact is wireless repeater (WDS is normal term), is not a standard and so every company does what is right in their own eyes.
    WDS is not cross platform.. you always need to stick to the same brands.. or use universal wireless repeaters. But these are not recommended as they are generally unreliable and have other impacts on the network.
    Run ethernet or use EOP (homeplug) adapters to connect the TC to the VisionNet modem.

  • Can time capsule support a pc and a mac?

    Is it possible for Time Capsule to support a pc and a Mac?

    Yes, but you'll need to do the Windows backups manually or with third-party software capable of backing up to a network drive. Apple doesn't make any such software for Windows.
