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!

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 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 - Create a new network or join existing?

    Hello Folks,
    So I got my new 2TB Time Capsule and I was reading through the discussion forum on how to set thip up.
    I already have wifi in my home and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to connect the TC to the existing wifi network or create a new one?
    I have my Wii, a smart TV, a mac, a pc, a printer,  2 iphones and a tablet already using my exisitng wifi connection and it all works very well.
    Ideally, I would like TC to use the exisitng wifi, but I did read a few comments that this may not provide the best performance and creating a new network would be a better option.
    Appreciate your feedback.
    Thanks,
    Abzt.

    Do not use join wireless network.. that is slow as slow.
    Set the TC to bridge mode and plug it into the current router by ethernet.
    Then you have a number of choices.. you can turn off wireless..
    Or run a separate wireless network but nothing actually connects to it.
    Or use roaming.. ie use the exact same name as present wireless.. same security same password.. and the TC can reinforce the existing wireless.. the best way to do this is in an area of the house that has poor wireless but you can run ethernet to it.. if it doesn't exist just use a standard ethernet patch lead 3 or 4M long and connect the TC there.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • TS4611 Guys if you have these build: 12E3200 and your wifi is dropping, is not the your mid 2013 macbook air, is your router, I solve it by setting up my time capsule as a new network problem solved

    Here is what I have been doing:
    I got my new macbook air 11" two weeks ago, and have been haven problems with wifi connection dropping, I'm using verizon fioz at home, and their router
    I also have a time capsule not set up as a network just join it to my current one.
    After looking online all these days, I though, maybe is the verizon device that is updated..
    I then reset the time capsule, created a new network
    connected my system to the time capsule network, and there it is
    DONE, everything works now.
    So if you are haven the same problem,, that is the fix
    hope that helps.
    Oh  before I did these I try everything, the wifi update from apple don't work it keeps dropping it
    I try everything, so don't and delete the system as some people have done, I read somewhere.
    try my fix hopes that works.

    I have seen lots of issues on Yosemite with Wifi (and have been having issues myself), but yours seem different. It is a pretty new computer, have you tried taking it in under Applecare (if you live somewhere this is convenient)? Maybe you just got a defective wifi card.  I won't defend Apple over this wifi mess, because it really is terrible, but your issue seems not the same as the ones I've read about while researching how to fix mine (unsucessfully....).

  • Time Capsule 1GB with 2 networks one of which WEP

    I understand the Time Capsule supports two wifi networks. So I would like to replace my current Linksys router which I have set up with a G network secured by WEP and an N network secured by WPA.
    However I cannot see how to configure the "second" network in Time Capsule - it only shows me the options for configuring one network. Also it shows no WEP option.
    Can anyone tell me how to configure two Time Capsule wifi networks separately, one of them with WEP ?
    Thanks!

    I'm almost new to mac but i have had a lot of help in this forum to improve my knowledge so i would try to help you in this matter as a return.
    But if somebody with more knowledge would help you follow his advice because as stated i'm also learning.
    I have had the same impression like you about only one net available when installing my wireless net from a Time Capsule dual band new device i bought last month.
    I solved it in the Time Capsuel device as follows; i acces the "manual configuration", then in the "Wireless" go to the "button" with name "advanced" in the bottom, when i push it, it open a new window with the second wireless net specifications (same name the the actual 2,4 GHZ net but with added "(5 GHZ)" and using this frecuency by default). You can try to configure it there.
    I used Istumbler free program to control the range and power of each net with my portable ( quite good and free of charge).
    I relize that 2,4 GHZ is less quick but arrived further so it have more range than the 5 GHZ quicker net. Now i'm able to connect to both depending of what i need each time ( more range or more speed).
    I hope that this information would help you.
    Best regards from Barcelona, Pascual M

  • 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 i access my data on time capsule from some other network

    can i access my data on time capsule from some other network that is my data at home from office over internet

    There is plenty of info out there if you google..
    Here is a summary I just put into another thread.
    Remote access has been added back into iCloud that was in MobileMe..
    Read the info on setting it up from cloud service.. BTMM.
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
    If you want to do it without the cloud service, you have one major issue.. the public IP for WAN..
    The internal IP of the TC.. which will default to 10.0.1.1 btw.. is irrelevant. It is the IP of the WAN which you use to access the TC over the internet. And here you have a problem.. the TC does not include dyndns service. So unless you have a static IP address from your ISP, this will cause you grief.
    (If it is offered by your ISP.. get a static IP.. that eliminates all the issues.. and is far superior. Even dyndns service has issues if your public IP rotates too often. It is generally an extra cost item and requires a business account but some ISP offer it cheap or even free.. I joined an ISP that offered static ip for free because it gives me the ability to remote access my network without all the hassles you will see below.)
    There are ways around it.. setting up your own domain for instance.
    http://dyn.com/support/airport-time-capsule-with-dynamic-dns/
    But it is easier to simply use a different router.. almost all of them have dyndns service available.. place the TC behind the router in bridge and forward port 548 TCP to it.
    This is a bit old but still relevant.
    http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
    Note .. there is no ftp, http, ssh (there is actually but it isn't accessible), or any other service to allow connection other than AFP.. so you must use a Mac in remote location to access the TC.
    The setup for the two methods is slightly different in the TC.. in the first instance, you need to turn on WAN access via disk sharing page in the manual setup.
    In the second case you do not need this.
    Remember security and put strong passwords on the disk. There are still security questions about this.
    If security is important.. there is a third and better (IMO) method and that is vpn.. you will need to buy a vpn router as TC also missed out on that.. establish a vpn with the main router and that will allow you access to your network.. you will also then be able to use SMB remotely not just AFP.
    Also if this office is a large company they should be running a firewall, which would block your access to home. You should check your IT admin people for what is allowed.. generally the only acceptable method is vpn otherwise you can drag viruses and trojans right into the network without the firewall catching them.

  • Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?

    Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?

    Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?
    Very very poorly..
    It can join a wireless network..
    See instructions here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5719954?tstart=0
    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.

  • Since I've upgraded to Maverick the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

    Since I've upgraded to Maverick on my Macbook Pro the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

    I have over 250G backed up and I really don't want to reset everything and start again.
    Not sure what you mean here. 
    A reset will not affect any of the data on the Time Capsule hard drive.  You would have to perform a completely separate and very deliberate Erase Disk operation for that to occur.
    I'm not recommending that you perform a default reset, but it is an option if there is really nothing else to try.
    I don't know if what you are seeing is a Mavericks issue or not, since I refuse to use any new software until at least the first major update with fixes comes along.
    Another user may be able to offer more input on Mavericks.

  • Can time capsule be configured to back up mixed pc mac networks?

    Can time capsule be configured to back up mixed mac/pc networks?

    That may work, but there are complications to putting Time Machine backups and other data on the TC's internal HD.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details and some workarounds.

    Are you running 7.3.1, when I did what you were trying everytime I turned on the wireless encryption it could no longer find the time capsule when I rebooted the time capsule. It worked fine once I left it long enough that it found the fact that the Time Capsule had an upgrade to 7.3.1
    Once I got the upgrade in the Time Capsule, the system worked fine.

  • 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.
