Can you use Time Capsule with any wifi extender?

Can you use Time capsule with any wifi extenders?

No, since Apple designed their routers to only work with other Apple routers.
I suppose that it is possible that another brand might work, but since you won't know this until you try, it would be a good idea to have a clear understanding of the store's return policy before you decide to gamble.

  • HT1178 Can you use Time Capsule when your computer is partitioned with bootcamp?

    I know that if you attach a hard drive to "Airport Extreme" that you can not use the hard drive to back up a partitioned computer.  Can you using "Time Capsule" ?

    Time Machine will back up the Mac OS X partition to the Time Capsule, but cannot back up the Windows one. This is the same with a regular external drive.

    TC is not designed for ipad or iphone or any iOS device.
    You should use them with cloud if you want remote access to your data do it via cloud.. you cannot easily get remote access to the TC from iOS device.

  • Can I use time capsule with a ASUS (RT-N16)router?

    I will use a router with vpn. Can I use time capsule with it? And if yes, how do I connect them?

    There is no vpn built into the native firmware of N16 so I presume you are going to use third party.
    Just plug in the TC and bridge it.. ie go to Internet tab of airport utility and select connection sharing off.
    wireless then you will need to figure out.. you can setup roaming on 2.4ghz by using identical wireless name = ssid and security but lock both to different channels.. pick out of 1, 6, 11
    In a PC network make sure you use the TC with a new name.. no spaces no special characters.. same with wireless. TC also restrict wireless on 2.4ghz to only 20mhz.. if you have the N16 set to 40mhz you will have to be extra careful with channels.. 40mhz will use up two channels and only one remains.. so your household will have filled the 2.4ghz.
    Someone suggested you can turn off 2.4ghz in the TC by not naming it.. When I try that it kicks up an error that it has to be named. So perhaps someone else has a suggestion of how to turn off 2.4ghz.
    You can turn off 5ghz by unchecking it. Seems mighty strange that you cannot turn off 2.4ghz but you can turn off 5ghz.

  • Can you use time capsule for your mac and have readynas backup your pc's on the same network

    Can you use time capsule for your mac and use readynas to back up your pc's on the same network

    Sure, that is trivial setup.. they both have different names and IP addresses.
    You should be able to use ReadyNas for TM backup but you should check the latest state of play for that.

    Can I use time capsule with a USB cellular modem?

    No, since the USB port on the Time Capsule will only support a compatible printer and/or hard drive.

  • 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.

  • Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time.

    Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time as either a backup for one and a seperate HD drive for two?

    Yes.
    From one viewpoint the Time Capsule is just NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and it supports the file sharing protocols necessary for both Windows and Macs.
    From the viewpoint of the Macs it can also be used by Time Machine for backups.
    As NAS it can be used for storing files, and there are many backup software packages that support NAS on both Windows and Macs.
    In addition from a networking point of view it can serve as a router, wireless access point etc.

  • Can I use Time Capsule with an iPad?

    I have music and pictures saved on my iPad, don't use a regular computer.  Can I use Time Capsule to back up those pics and tunes?

    ...(I) don't use a regular computer...
    Simple answer: no.  iPad backups are handled through iTunes on a Mac or PC.  The iPad doesn't have any inherent backup capabilities.
    In the future, when Apple release iOS5, iCloud and iTunes Match, you may have some capability to backup your songs and pics.  But until that happens, you will need to figure out how to backup those things on your own.  (And even after iClouse and iTunes Match are available, you may still need to find backup procedures for things those services can't backup.

  • Can you use time capsule without leopard?

    I just wanted to know if time capsule can be used to back up etc without adding leopard?
    I'm using the last Tiger update and am reluctant to buy leopard osx if i don't have to as i like tiger.
    Lee

    im running Tiger and i want to purchase Time Capsule. i dont really care about using Time Machine or not, and dont want to update to Leopard at the moment. from what i've read here, i can still use Time Capsule, but does this mean the only way i can back-up is wirelessly? or does Time Capsule have a hard line option to connect my MacBook directly to it using a cable?

  • Can you use Time Capsule as a working hard drive?

    I would like to know if you buy the Time capsule, does it just work as a back up drive or can you use it as a working drive on your network?

    A working drive with no ability to back itself up.. and outside of TM which cannot backup network drives.. if you use it.. be aware.. your files that are not backed up will one day be lost.. TC is not that reliable.

  • Can you use time capsule if you only connect via wi fi, and no ethernet lines?

    I'm considering buying a Time Capsule to back up my stuff and use as a router, but I only use wi fi (my fi) via my phone service. Is Time Capsule functional without an ethernet connection, and if so, how functional? Basically, is it the right thing for me within these parameters?
    thanks in advance
    Taythorne

    This could be OK, because Time Capsule's operation is quite independent of the router function. Time Capsule does need to live on a LAN with a router somewhere, even if it is not the router itself. As long as that's true, it could work.
    But it sounds like there is more research you have to do. Normally, Time Capsule either functions as a router, meaning you give it a direct IP address to a modem; or it functions in bridge mode, meaning you give it the IP address of a router. I don't know how a mi-fi works compared to a cable or DSL modem, but I am guessing you might set up the Time Capsule to connect to it in bridge mode. If that works, everything else should work fine.
    Regardless of the setup, Time Capsule should work as long as the Mac can find the Time Capsule and mount the backup volume. An actual Internet connection is not required for that, because it's all within the LAN.
