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 I use 2 Time Capsules on the same network

    Can I use 2 Time Capsules on the same network
    Posted: Jul 23, 2009 1:49 PM Reply Email
    Here is what I want to do. I currently have a time capsule used for one end of the house. Currently my 2 kids rooms are in an addition that I have run a cable from the time capsule to each of their rooms. If I want to give them wireless for that part of the house could I add another TC, for wireless and they can both backup their macbooks to that time capsule.
    So Can I add a 2nd time capsule to extend by "N" network, or should I just go with an AP express or extreme and let them each have their own HD backup for each macbook?

    Have bought many reconditioned (Refurb) product from Apple site and have always been happy with them. To date none have failed me and we have been Apple customers since 2006. With that said when you buy Refurbs make sure you know what model you are getting. The current TCs on the Apple site are last generation. The way to tell is to check the model number against the current one. Easy way to do this is to put both in the shopping cart and compare the model numbers. The Refurb model number is FB277LL/A and the new TC model is MB765LL/A. The first digits identify whether a Refurb or new, the rest should be the same if they are the same model number.
    Before you buy, now which model number you want and then check other sites to compare prices. I recently purchased a new TC on Amazon for a better price then the Apple Store Site. For larger Refurb purchases like MBPs, we choose to buy directly from Apple; but for peripherals we often buy from OWC, Amazon, and other sites. Hope this helps.

  • Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

    Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
    I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

    No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
    The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

    You likely first configured the AirPort Express to "extend a wireless network" using wireless only, correct?
    If yes, you cannot then connect the AirPort Express using Ethernet....that will crash your network.
    The Express must be configured to "create a wireless network".  AirPort Utility will do this for you automatically, but you will first need to perform a Factory Default Reset or Hard Reset on the AirPort Express and then start over with the configuration again.
    Connect the Ethernet cable to the Express before you open AirPort Utility. Post back if you need more tips on how to set this up.

  • Can I have two Time Capsules in the same network, use one as Time Machine and other to expand network?

    I need to purchase a divice to expand my Wi-fi network. I was looking at the AirPort Extreme, but a friend has a brand new Time Capsule for sale. So, for the same price of the AirPort Extreme, I´m getting the Time Capsule.
    I already own one and using it as Time Machine and wireless router. If I decide to purchase another TC would it have any conflict with the one that I already have?
    Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?

    No
    Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?
    Yes. The important thing to remember is that the "extending" Time Capsule must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your "main" Time Capsule.

  • 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?

  • Can I have two time capsules on the same network

    Is it possible to have two TC on the same network, I have a 500Gb 1st Gen TC which I have replaced with a 2TB 4th Gen TC but still want to use the 500Gb. Is this possible and how do you set up?
    Thanks

    How do you want to use the old one? Is it simply for storing random files? I assume random files right that you wish to access/store/delete/share? If thats the case, just plug it in without connecting to anything.
    You simply would connect to it this way - "Finder/Go/Connect to Server/10.0.1.1
    You'll need to click the "+" sign after you enter that addy. Or better yet, go into the airport utilty for that device and assign it a special ip addy. That will make it easy to identify. Then follow those same steps. Viola, you will see the device in your finder and access it just like a portable drive but on a network instead.

  • How to set up AirPort + Time Capsule On the Same Network but make it so only i use it?

    Ok so i am planning on getting the AirPort + Time Capsule in a few weeks, and i have seen many peole talk about how there is a right way and wrong way to set it up because apperently the bad way makes it run slow? Well i have two questions, one is how do i set it up the right way to use it to the full potential to use the new beamforming feature? And my second question which is kind of a problem is that I have internet already but my other brothers use it and i told them about pitching in buy it and they dont want to because they think its pointlesss, so what i want to know is if I can connect it to my existing wi-fi but at the same time like create a diffrent network so that only i can use it? (ex. have my wifi, 2WIRE123 for example, and then some how connect the ethernet cable to the airport + time caplsule and create a new network like 2WIRE124 so they would both basiaclly be using the same internet connection but separated to 2 diffrent networks?) Thank You.

    so what i want to know is if I can connect it to my existing wi-fi but at the same time like create a diffrent network so that only i can use it?
    Sorry, but no.
    If you can connect the AirPort to the 2Wire router using a permanent wired Ethernet connection, then you can configure the AirPort to create a new wireless network with its own wireless network name and password.

  • Can Time Capsule Create a WEP Network

    Good Morning!
    We have wireless security cameras that can only join B/G networks with WEP security. Can I still use a Time Capsule as my router? I see that TC can join a WEP network, but can it create one? If so, how?
    Thanks in advance for any guidance!

    Hello nycross. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

    Yes.
    I see that TC can join a WEP network, but can it create one? If so, how?
    The TC can provide three variations of WEP: Transitional, WEP 40-bit, & WEP 128-bit. To get the latter two options, the TC must be configured to operate in a non-"n" Radio Mode. That is, it would have to operate in either the 802.11a, b, or g modes.

  • Can Time Capsule uses iPhone 3G network?

  • Can Time Capsule use another local network for backup?

    Our LAN has a a separate wireless network solely for backup. The machines on the network use ethernet for routine operations and wireless to access backup disks. Can a Time Capsule access this backup LAN or must the machines all tune into its own wireless network?

    Yes, you can. Just mount the disk you want to backup onto and select it in the Time Machine preferences. The backups are deadly slow wirelessly, so you'll want to backup with your mac getting it's internet over FireWire from the computer with the disk attached. But restoring works well wirelessly. As you can probably tell by my description here, I backup to a network volume myself. I do know that you can't backup to the same backup scheme both with a local disk and network volume (same disk).
    Hope this helps,
    Alex

  • USB 3G card & Time Capsule on the same network.

    I have 3G service from Sprint using the USB Novatel U720. I'd like to get the benefits of the new Time Capsule at home. I also know of the Wifi router from Cradlepoint (perhaps there are others) that will allow me to use wifi while at home using my 3G.
    This is what I'd like to know. Does anyone know if it's possible to have Time Capsule used as a bridge to a wifi router that is connecting to my 3G service?

    As long as your WiFi router has an ethernet port, you can cable the Time Capsule to it. What you do then is up to you - either turn off both the router and WiFi access point built Time Capsule, or just turn off the router built into Time Capsule and use Time Capsule as a point of access for wireless computers that support 802.11n's higher speeds.
    What you cannot do is have Time Capsule connect wirelessly to your existing WiFi router.

  • Can I use Apple TV on network without internet connection?

    I'm helping someone who has an Apple TV (version1) and their router and internet connection is down.  We need to use the AppleTV today to stream a video from her mac to the TV connected to the Apple TV for a presentation.  Can we just hook up the Mac and the AppleTV to a switch via Ethernet (or connnect wirelessly to an AirPort Base station) and stream the video without being connected to the internet?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't just use a switch, but you can use a router or wifi access point without access to the internet, but you will need a DHCP server to give each device on the network an IP address.
    You may also be able to connect the Mac and Apple TV directly with an ethernet cable, I've tested this with the Apple TV 1, but not with the Apple TV 2.
