How can I get time capsule to show 'client ids' in the dhcp list?
Thanks

Assigning clients on multiple Time Capsules

I have two Time Capsules on different floors in opposite sides of a two-story house:
1) TC1: 4th Gen TC connected to the internet modem (2nd floor)
2) TC2: 3rd Gen TC acting as a wireless bridge (1st floor)
I have several devices connecting to the wireless network (Apple TVs, Macbooks, iPads, iPhones, etc); all running the latest Mac OS or iOS. Is there a way to force a device, an Apple TV, to connect to a specific Time Capsule?
The Apple TV is on the 2nd floor and is connecting to the wireless bridge TC2, which is in the same side of the house but on the 1st floor. I would like to force it to connect to the main TC1 on the 2nd floor. The physical distance from the Apple TV to the wireless bridge is probably shorter, but given that the signal has to travel through the floor to the bridge and then back upstairs to the main router, the download speeds are significantly lower. If I disconnect the bridge TC2, the Apple TV connects to the main TC1 without any problems.
I imagine that there is a way to manually manage clients/devices for each Time Capsule. But I would like to avoid doing this for every device, since I have 10+ devices, some of which are mobile. Just want to force an Apple TV to connect to the main router and not the wireless bridge. Is this possible?
Thank you

The problem you have here is the criteria used by each device to connect is wireless signal, not speed. We have no access in the apple device to change the criteria.. nor is it is easy to set one that isn't immediately measurable.. like download speed. ie you need to add the intelligence.. the system cannot know which WAP is the faster.
Is the upstairs TC setup in bridge or router mode? If it is in router you can setup the guest network and use that for the ATV. That option should work but will only give internet access. You can use the 5ghz with a different name.. but the range of that is very limited.. I doubt it will work. I am assuming you are wireless linking on 2.4ghz.
The only solution I can see is to introduce another WAP plugged into the main router and using a different wireless name.

How many clients can the time capsule handle?

I'm trying to research how many clients can be accomodated by the time capsule - anyone know?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can connect 50 devices and computer wirelessly to the Time Capsule, but you can connect more through Ethernet

Who is 10.0.1.3 wireless client in my time capsule

I use my time capsule as a router and there is this wireless client 10.0.1.3 along with all others (which are known to me), except this one.
How can I find out who is this, or what is it?
I have AirPort Express connected to TC too, but it shows separately in the AirPort Utility.

OK Bob/John,
Sorry for this long post - and thank you so much for your thoughts and time.
It still shows that 10.0.1.3 wireless client. But now I think it could be my MacBook as the 10.0.1.3 wireless client on the TC has the same hardware address (xx:xx:xx...) as the one that shows in my System Information panel in the Network/Locations folder under the Wi-Fi Hardware (MAC) Address - see screen shots.
Bottom line - 10.0.1.3 could be my MacBook, but is it really - I am not that tech savvy?
If it is - where can I go and rename it so it shows my MacBook name?
Anyway, I am going to tell you what I did if this is relevant for anything you were wondering about. Otherwise you don't have to read the statements below.
Bob said:
Power off the entire network....all devices....in any order that you wish when you go to bed tonight.
In the morning, power up the modem first and let it run a minute by itself
Power up the next device connected to the modem the same way
Power up the next, etc.
Keep powering up devices one at a time until the network is back up
------->
I did that this morning.
John said:
The TC will retain the client's IP address until its DHCP lease expires, or you cycle its power.
If you had a visitor with an iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch the TC will remember its IP address long after he's gone. Don't forget the guest network - if you enabled it, it's open.
"Ping" that address using Terminal - if the client is no longer present you will get 100% packet loss so that was likely the source of this mystery. On the other hand if you get returns the times shown may be useful.
-------->
I have AU 6.1 and it shows on the TC in the Internet Tab option for "Renew DHCP Lease", but I haven't touched it yet, as I don't know what exactly to do. However, I did cycle power the modem.
And yes, I had visitor a while back (approx. 4 weeks ago) - he has an iPad and and an iPhone too. Both were not on my WiFi though. They were on my Wi-Fi before that - around 8 weeks ago. But at that time I had a different ISP. I don't know if that's important to be mentioned.
Guest Newtwork is disabled.
John, I don't know how to "ping" any address in Terminal. Which address are you referring to?
Bob is right - iPhones and iPads come and go as wireless clients depending on sleep/power off or when they are not on any Wi-Fi but on their celular network.
John, Yes, all screen shots are from my MacBook 13" AL, late 2008 (yes, I know it is old) running on Mac Lion v.10.7.5.

Find list of clients of 2008 Time Capsule?

How can I find the table or list of all machines connected to my router, whether by cable or wireless? My router is a Time Capsule about 5 years old. I have looked in Airport Utility, but not been able to find what I seek. Google has not helped.

I have and used Pacifist. I installed it to ~/Applications instead of to /Applications, but the installed name is Airport Utility 5.6, so it probably would not have overwritten Airport Utility.
You can install AirPort Utility 5.6 in the Utilities folder along with 6.x if you want.
How do I see clients with manually configured ip addresses?
They will be in DHCP Clients. But...if you have been making changes, restarting the AirPort, plugging / unplugging things, etc. the current DHCP leases need time to expire and then renew.
Check again tomorrow to see if the "lost" devices appear again once the current lease has expired and new lease has been issued.
Also, as long as 5.6 will work why would I want to use Airport Utility 7.6.3, unless I wanted to think I was an iPad?
There are a few things that the "new" AirPort Utility does better than the previous versions, but in general AirPort Utility 5.6 is a far more useful utility than AirPort Utility "Lite".

Add a wifi client to Time Capsule

How can I add a client to my Time Capsule 1st generation wifi network, using mac os.x 10.8.3 ?

I have a 500 GB Time Capsule and two macs (IMac and Macbook) that I would like to back up. My IMac is backed up, but every time I try and back up the mac book, it tells me I don't have enough space. I have read about deleting individual back ups on time capsule (I have some going back to August), but I figured there has to be an easier/quicker way. What are my other options? Are there settings I can change were it will allow me to back up the macbook as well without going in and individually deleting files off the time capsule? There is only about 30 GB of info on the macbook and 100 GB of info on the Imac so I should have more than enough storage.
Time Machine will, by design, fill up all the empty space available to it before it starts deleting old backups to make room for new ones. That's most likely what's happened to you.
One option is to delete a large number of the oldest backups via the procedure in #12 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum. Note that you'll have to manually compact the sparse image to actually get the space back, as detailed in the pink box there.
The other is to erase the entire HD and let TM start over with both Macs (I'd be inclined to do the initial full backups one at a time, via Ethernet).
Use the +*Airport Utility+* app, in your Applications/Utilities folder.
Select +*Base Station > Manual Set-Up+* from the Menubar, then Disks in the tool Bar, then Erase.
If you have other data there that you want to keep, you should be able to delete the sparse bundle via the Finder.

Adding second backup client to time capsule after first has filled drive?

I'm trying to add a second Time Machine client to my Time Capsule. I've had it for a while and the first client has filled the drive. The problem is there isn't enough space free on the Time Capsule for the second client. Is there a way to free up some space so I can add the second client? How do I manage how much space gets allocated to each?

Hi swills. First, click the Time Machine Dock icon and enter the TM 'star field' interface. Then go all the way back to the oldest backups. Go up to the action menu (gear icon) and select "Delete Backup". Do this with several of the oldest backups. This will free up needed space.
Then you need to compact the existing disk image.
First, turn OFF Time Machine Backups on all Macs backing up to the Time Capsule (TC).
Next, open a Finder window and click on your TC in the Sidebar.
If you don't see a blue share folder, you may need to click the "Connect As..." button and enter your Time Capsules password. (Note: NOT your own username and password.)
Double-click the blue folder that appears in the finder window. The sparsebundle should now be visible. DO NOT mount it, just leave the window open.
Now, launch Terminal from the Utilities folder.
At the prompt type in:
+hdiutil compact+
...and then hit the Space bar so that there is a space after +hdiutil compact+.
Next, drag the sparsebundle in question from the Finder window into the Terminal window. This will complete the command.
Now, with the Terminal window in focus, hit Enter.
Eventually, you will see something like this...
+Starting to compact…+
+Reclaiming free space…+
+Finishing compaction…+
+Reclaimed 5.4 GB out of 217.9 GB possible.+
Repeat this procedure for each sparsebundle contained on your TC.
Finally, remember to turn Time Machine backups back ON on all Macs backing up to the TC.
Obviously, if the other Mac still does not have enough space for it's first backup then you will need to repeat the above to free up further space. let us know if this resolves your issue. Cheers!

HT1175 how do you set the airport time capsule as the primary base station rather than as a network client?

how do you set the airport time capsule as the primary base station rather than as a network client?

The Time Capsule needs to connect to a simple modem......not a modem/router or gateway type of device that is often furnished by Internet Service Providers.
So, the first logical question here would be......
What is the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?

Time Machine Backup to Time Capsule Pauses Airtunes

Hello,
I have an Airport Express and a MBP which are both wireless clients of a Time Capsule. I use the AX to stream music to my stereo which usually works without any trouble.
The annoying thing is that practically every time Time Machine starts a backup, the music pauses for about a second as if the connection to the AX is lost.
Has anyone else come across this issue and, if so, do you have a solution?
Thanks
Simon

Well, I found a fix. I first moved the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file from the Preference folder to the desktop, just in case I needed in the future (it turns out I didn't). Then I rebooted my computer. Time Machine did not find the .plist file and so I had to select again the disk for backup on Time Capsule. Then I backed up and it finally completed the hourly backup and now it seems back on track with the hourly backups

Time Capsule and iBook 10.3.9

Hello. I have a dual USB iBook G3 running 10.3.9. I would like to be able to connect it with my existing network. I set up a guest network on my Time Capsule with no security, thinking the iBook would not have to deal with the WPA encryption I have on the main network. When I pull up the network list on the iBook, the guest network is nowhere to be found. Is it possible to use the G3 iBook running 10.3 this way, or am I out of luck connecting it via wireless? Thanks for any help.

What no one has been able to answer is if I purchase Time Capsule, will I still be able to use the Airport abilities of it with the iBook (not for Time Machine, but just to connect to our ISP)?
Yes it is a wireless base station just like your AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). See www.apple.com/timecapsule/wireless.html
And if I have to use the two in tandem to connect the iBook, will I lose the enhanced wireless advantages TIme Capsule would otherwise deliver?
Actually if you use the 2 together you could use the AEBS to create an 802.11b/g network for slower clients like the iBook G4 while faster 802.11n clients connect to Time Capsule.

Time Capsule Does Not Port Forward FTP Ports

Hey there,
I recently purchased a Time Capsule, and I found out that while it fixes the NAT-PMP bug found in my previous AirPort Extreme Base Station (Gigabit-N), it introduces a new problem which makes it refuse to forward port 21 properly.
It seems to me that the Time Capsule has some sort of FTP server built in, and is either enabled but closes connection on client connection, or disabled but still listens for client connection.
This message is what I get when I connect to my IP via FTP from the WAN side (FTP port forwarded to a local machine with an IP 10.0.0.8):
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.
When it is accessed from the LAN of course, I can connect to 10.0.0.8 with no problem. However, what is interesting is if I connect to the Time Capsule via FTP I get this as well:
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.
Thus, I am 100% certain that the FTP message I see when I connect from WAN is from the Time Capsule instead of the machine I port forwarded to.
Apple needs to fix this annoying problem and at the same time fixes some VPN issues I'm having with my Nortel VPN client (4.68). It was all working when I had the AirPort Extreme Base Station.

I am having a problem establishing an FTP session that is started with my FTP Client (CuteFTP) on my local network and attempting to connect to an FTP Server with one of my hosting providers. My first few attempts used FTPS (Secure FTP) as that is what I typically use when transferring FTP packets over the net. Well, this didn't work so I thought maybe the Time Capsule had a problem inspecting the encrypted packets so I switched to standard clear-text FTP just to see if the Time Capsule handles FTP session management functions correctly. This didn't work either. I'm using PASV FTP and have never had a problem before with my CISCO Router or with another consumer-based NAT router. I don't believe that the Server on the Internet gets the initial request on port 21 as I believe the Time Capsule is not allowing the packet to pass and my FTP Client spits back an error message : "Couldn't access FTP service " "Connection Failed". I have also used "Terminal" and initiated the ftp utility and attempted to connect to the same server and receive the following error message : "421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.". I have attempted to put my computer in the DMZ by using the Default Host feature on the Time Capsule but that resulted in the same errors. I believe that I have tried most of the settings available on the Time Capsule to attempt to get this to work but no luck yet. If the packet is getting through to the server and the response back on the current ephemeral port is not getting through the Time Capsule I'm really hoping the solution is not having to port map all ephemeral ports as this is in the tens of thousands. Has anyone successfully established an FTP Session (Secure or Not) from your local client through the Time Capsule to a Server on the Internet. If so, could you help by providing any Time Capsule settings that were required for this to function properly....Thanks in Advance.
Note: I have attempted to ftp to several different public ftp servers on the Internet and get the same error results. I have no problems ftping to local serverson my local network.

Time Capsule and Netgear Powerline

I have a 2TB Time capsule and need to extend my network (wired) through HomePlugs. I have had the Netgear Powerline recommended but have noted in the blurb that they are 'not Mac compatible'.
Will they work with my TC and is it simply just a case of plugging them in and they work or is there anything else I need to do settings wise on the TC?
If these will not work can anyone recommend otheres that do and also walk me through the settings I will need to change 9in very simple steps as I am a bit thick ).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Everything works. Follow directions for extending your wireless network at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
Notes:
I first connected the Time Capsule directly to the AirPort Exteme to avoid any powerline networking issues. This allowed both the time capsule and airport extreme to show up in the AirPort Utility program.
Ensure that in the AirPort Extreme's wireless settings, "Allow this network to be extended" is enabled/checked before you modify the Time Capsule's settings; the "allow... extended" checkbox might not be visible if you are not directly connected as a client to the AirPort Extreme (it is not visible after setup when you are a client of the time capsule extender).
The Time Capsule network setup is easiest if you follow the dialogs instead of doing it manually.
I now have cable modem->ABEX->Netgear HomePlug-> Netgear XAV1004 switch-> Time Capsule->extended wireless network->laptop. The powerline adapter signal is running from a new house addition built in 1999 through a sub-panel circuit breaker to a main circuit breaker out through 1940s-era wiring, and everything works perfectly, including Time Machine backups from machines on both sides of the powerline adapters.
@LaPastenague: I haven't detected any ports blocked by my Netgear powerline adapter, nor could I find any port blocking topics via an internet search. I have never installed any of the Netgear management software, so my powerline adapters are not running any encryption... maybe encryption comms cause the issue you raised? I really doubt the Netgear PowerLine adapters block any host-specific ports because the adapters are working at the physical and data-link layers which are below the port assignments in the transport layer of the OSI model.

MacBook Pro and Time Capsule connection issue

I have an issue where all the devices in my house can connect and work with my Time Capsule, except for my MacBook Pro. Everything has worked in the past(including my MBP), but last weekend my Time Capsule died, I went to an Apple store and got a refurb unit.
After setting up the new unit, every device can attach and use it, except for my MBP. It appears to attach, but says that I don't have an internet connection. When I look at the attached clients on the Time Capsule, it shows all the devices by name, except mine is shown by MAC address.
I have the wifi settings set the same as the other computers, etc., which do work. I can take my MBP to other places that have wifi, and it works just fine. It also doesn't work if I plug it into one of the LAN connections(Ethernet) on the Time Capsule. The other computers will work on wifi or the direct connection.
After taking my computer to another place and using their wifi, mine worked when I brought it back home. This lasted for a few days, then it just stopped again this morning.
I have restarted, shutdown, etc., the Time Capsule and my MBP many, many times.
Time Capsule 512MB original unit, firmware(7.6)
MacBook Pro 17", 9 months, 10.7.2
Other devices: two iMacs, 3 iPhones, 2 iPads 2's, and an Apple TV.
Anyone else having similar issues, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi DD,
If you don't get answers here, try posting in the Time Capsule forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253) and/or the Time Machine forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1342).

As a Verizon FIOS client, can we just use Ethernet cable to connect to time capsule, or do we need their router to connect to the time capsule?

As a Verizon FIOS client, can we just use Ethernet cable to connect to time capsule or do we need the Verizon router to connect to time capsule?

The Time Capsule is indeed a wireless router with simultaneous dual band capability...and a hard drive for backup purposes. You can use that to your advantage if you configure the Time Capsule as I suggested in Bridge Mode.
The Time Capsule will provide a 802.11n 5 GHz band and a 802.11n/g/b compatible 2.4 GHz band to allow virtually any device to connect to the network.
I suppose that you could also use the "g" wireless network provided by the Verizon router as a "guest" network or something similar if you really do need another wireless network.
It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule as the main router on the network....that's a question for Verizon. But even if you might be able to do this, I'm sure it is not supported by Verizon, so you would be on your own in the event of any Internet connection difficulties on your service.
And, since the Time Capsule does not have a built in modem....you would still need to add a separate modem to the installation anyway.
That's why my suggestion is to use the Verizon device as the "modem" and let the Time Capsule provide the dual band wireless network and of course, handle the Time Machine backups.

Time Capsule vs. samba-client (Fedora)

I've been using a 1GB Time Capsule for various things, including backing up my Linux server using the samba-client package. This had all been working well... until last night's scheduled backup.
+Note: "Type40" is the name of my Time Capsule (either you get it, or you don't).+
*mount -t cifs //Type40/root /smb/Type40/root*
*mount error 13 = Permission denied*
*Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)*
After I reset the password (I hadn't changed it myself), the error changed.
*mount -t cifs //Type40/root /smb/Type40/root*
*retrying with upper case share name*
*mount error 6 = No such device or address*
*Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)*
I tried a number of variants, and finally found one that worked.
*mount -t cifs //Type40/Shared /smb/Type40/Shared*
I still don't know why the original command suddenly stopped working, so now I've modified my backup script to dump its files below /smb/Type40/Shared/Users/root/{servername} instead of what previously worked as /smb/Type40/root/{servername} .
At least it works again. :-P Here's the software versions involved at this point:
Mac OS X: 10.5.3
AirPort Utility: 5.3.2
Time Capsule Version: 7.3.1
Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux)
kernel-2.6.20-1.2320.fc5
samba-client-3.0.24-7.fc5

I am having exactly the same issue with 7.4.2 on a 500Gb model. Intermittent connectivity and sometimes complete disappearance from the workgroup.
