Connecting a Printer wirelessly to Airport through a Time Capsul

I just switched to Mac and bought a new Canon MP620, Time Capsule and iMac. I have the printer working through the ethernet port on the TC, but I don't know what to do next to get it to work wireless. Any advice?

Some more information on this issue:
I managed to pick up another (brand new) wireless router from a local Cash Converters store this morning very cheaply (5GBP!).  Its a Netgear DGN1000.  I configured this as a wireless access point only, bridged to my main router.  Initially I had some problems, similar to my Apple devices,  connecting the StoreJet Cloud through it in bridged mode using WPA2.  After I switched the Storejet to use WPA rather than WPA2 (the NetGear is configured to mixed WPA/WPA2 mode) I got a successful connection.
I then tried setting my 2 Apple devices to try to emulate this, i.e. use mixed WPA/WPA2 mode + connect the StoreJet using WPA.  This did not, however, work.
Seems there may be 2 issues to look at here - connecting via Apple devices + connecting in WPA2 mode.
The bottom line for me is that at least I have a wireless router in the house that the StoreJet will now work with and it cost me next to nothing.  Of course, I'd rather be running it via one of my Apple devices so as I don't have to be running yet another wireless network.
If anyone else has, or is considering acquiring one of these handy StoreJet units, I hope my experiences are helpful to them :-)

  • Best way to extend wireless via airport express and time capsule

    best way to extend wireless via airport express and time capsule
    i live in a two storey house where i use my airport express to create a wireless network in the main floor, and time capsule to extend it in the upper floor, where my room is. i have like 16 mbps in the main floor, and 2-3 mbps in the upper floor after having speediest.
    i used time capsule in the upper floor because i use wireless backup daily and don't want to put internet down while i im doin it and consequently my parent can have internet access in the main floor, am i right? or do i have make just the opposite in order to have a good internet speed?
    secondly, while checking airport express wireless mode on airport utility, there is like 4 different type of radio mode(802 11n bg comp, 802 11n 2.4, 802 11n a comp, 802 11n 5ghz) which i have no idea what they mean
    what do you recommend?
    we have like iphone4, iphone 3g, mbookpro, ipad, ipad 2, samsung tv and a sony vaio laptop in the wireless network
    thank you

    What you have would appear to be working but I can comment how I would redefine your setup.  Note that both Airport Express and Time Capsule can function as wireless base stations so you do have wireless everywhere and at all times — using the Time Capsules for backups doesn’t mean your parents won’t have internet access regardless of the where the base stations are located.
    You appear to have devices to connect to your network that use the 2.4 GHz band with 802.11g such as the iPhone 3G and perhaps the 5 GHz band with 802.11n such as likely the Macbook Pro if it’s a recent model.  The iPhone 4 can use 5 GHz and 802.11n.  Can’t comment on the Sony and Samsung but you can check their specs.
    Now the Time Capsule (if it’s a recent version), can simultaneously supply 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band signals, but the Airport Express (if it’s recent) can only use one of those bands at one time.  Likely the lowest common denominator for your devices is going to be the 2.4 GHz band since the devices that are capable of using 5 GHZ also support 2.4 GHz.  If you don’t use 5 GHz, you won’t lose much in a two-storey home because likely it’s the 2.4 GHz band is better signal anyway because 5 GHz signals drop off quickly with several walls/floors to penetrate.
    You also didn’t mention if the Airport Express is used to support a printer and/or AirPlay (using iTunes to play on remote speakers via the Airport Express connection) but that might also be a factor in the best location to place the Airport Express.  Although the printer could be switched between the Time Capsule and the Airport Express if needed, only the Airport Express will support your remote speakers.
    Recommend you use the Time Capsule as the Base station.  When using Airport Utility to define the network, after you name your network, etc., select the Wireless tab, check the box “Allow this network to be extended” and set the Radio Mode to "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)”.
    Using the Airport Utility, click on the Airport Express; after you define the device and network name, select the Wireless tab, define the Wireless Mode as “Extend a Wireless Network” and check the box “Allow wireless clients”. 
    Hope that helps.

  • What is the best long range wireless router, airport extreme or time capsule? Or?

    I need a wireless router that will reach 350--400 feet with a strong enough signal to use Netflix. This will be line of site in a rural area reaching from one trailer to another. Both trailers run on 12volt solar systems but trailer A has an inverter to convert to 120volts for a wireless router. Trailer B only has 12volt power so the Internet signal must come exclusively from the wireless router in Trailer A. There is no electricity available for booster wireless routers in between the two trailers.
    We don't need all of the bells and whistles like being able to connect to printers etc. This is just about sending out a strong enough signal to watch Netflix. Which is more powerful for this purpose? Airport Extreme or Time Capsule? If neither of those is strong enough, what is?
    Thanks,
    SV

    The issue you are really facing is the long distance (at the WiFi frequencies) you have to travel.  The Extreme has a radiated power of 23 dBm, nominal, which can reach 50-150 feet depending on you you are talking to...and that is measured in a closed test chamber at ideal air temperature and humidity, no obstructions.  In the real world that signal will be attenuated significantly just by the air alone, assuming completely obstacle free path, and subject to interference from other sources in the area, such as cell phones and cordless phones, and microwave ovens.
    The AirPort units have enclosed antennas that cannot be connected with an external gain antenna.  So you are stuck with what is in the box.
    Other products, commercial, do use external antennas so you may want to do some research in that area.
    Keep in mind that the 802.11n protocol uses two frequency bands, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.  Signal attenuation increases rapidly as a function of frequency.  You will get much less distance if you use the 5 GHz band, so it would be best to restrict operation to 2.4 GHz.
    Now, another aspect, at 2.4 GHz you are in the Ultra High Frequency portion of the spectrum...exposure to radio frequency energy at high power should not be considered a safe or desirable thing in the UHF range.  Most communication specialialists try to minimize exposure at these frequencies.  The reason for saying this is you will need significantly greater radiated power than the Extreme can deliver to reach 400 feet.  You might want to do some searches on health effects of the RF energy you will be transmitting.
    So, bottom-line, I have difficulty encouraging using wireless tranmission at the WiFi frequencies for the distance you need.

  • Connecting a StoreJet Cloud to Airport Extreme or Time Capsule

    The Transcend StoreJet Cloud is a wireless mobile storage device for use with things such as an iPad or iPhone. It is possible to set it up in a bridged mode (think "pass through"!) so that when an iPad is connected to its network the Internet can stil be accessed. I've had this working successfully with it bridging to D-Link and Huawei 3G Mi-Fi wireless routers but won't play ball at all with either of my Apple units - an Airport Extreme BS and a Time Capsule.
    The AEBS & TC are running in bridged mode connected to a trio of Netgear routers that are specially configured to run in a bonded mode using a Sharedband service. One of the Netgears provides DHCP services for the network. NAT is disabled, a requirement in the way they are configured. The TC runs in wireles n mode only for newer stuff in the house with the AEBS running in b/g/n mode for compatibility with older devices.
    As the StoreJet uses wireless n I have attempted connecting to both the AEBS and TC.  In both cases Airport utility reports that the StoreJet is a connected client (correct MAC address) BUT I am unable to use any Internet services in this "pass through" mode when the iAd is connected to the StoreJet. Airport Utility reports that the StoreJet connection is Excellent but the Data Rate only ever shows as 1 Mb/s with a RSSI of -52 dBm.  I am unable to check whether the StoreJet has been assigned an ip address as it is not possible to interrogate it for that and the Netgear router only lists ip addresses given to connected wired clients.
    I did try taking the AEBS out of bridged mode and ran the DHCP services from the instead of on the NetGear but still could not make things work. I'm waiting for a response from Transcend Support but thought I'd also post this issue here in case anyone can shed some light on it or provide suggestions of anything else I can try.  There clearly seems to be some conflict with my particular Apple setup.

  • How to extend wireless with airport express and time capsule

    So, I have a time capsule & because of the thick walls in my apartment, I can barely use my ipad and iphone at night in my bedroom! (my macbookPRO stays at 3 bars however!)
    I bought an airport express thinking I could plug it closer to or inside my bedroom to boost the signal - but it doesn't seem to work that way - any tips on how to set this up?
    TWO ADDITIONAL Qs:
    Does connecting directly to my time capsule (which i'm assuming i'd need another ethernet cable) help with the boost? (then negates the other great uses for the airport express it seems)
    Isn't there a way to do the boost with the express wirelessly? I'd really love to get wireless speakers, use airplay AND be able to use my devices just two rooms away ....   HELP!
    thanks so much (when did apple phone support start to be closed on Sundays?)
    cheers.

    Suggest that you check your setup again to make sure that the settings are correct on both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express.
    Open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Make sure that a check mark is entered next to "Allow this network to be extended".( If the box is not checked, the Time Capsule will not extend to the AirPort Express)
    Click Update to save your settings and close AirPort Utility
    Next, open AirPort Utility again, select the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab
    Settings should look like this:
    Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as the Time Capsule network
    Check mark entered next to "Allow wireless clients"
    Wireless Security = Same setting as the Time Capsule
    Wireless Password = Same password as the Time Capsule network
    Confirm Password
    Update to save settings and close AirPort Utility
    Locate the AirPort Express approximately half way between the Time Capsule and area that needs more wireless coverage. You may need to experiment on placement to find the best compomise.

  • Airport issues with time capsule

    I've searched the forum, but haven't found a solution to my problem on here. I have a macbook pro and a 500 GB time capsule, and am using airport for wireless internet access through the time capsule. Everything has been working fine for about 3 months, time machine does regular back ups. However, just recently when it attempts to do a back up, the airport loses the network connection and I can't access the time capsule or the interent, and the back up fails. When i check the status of airport, it is turned off, and when I attempt to turn it back on, nothing happens...? Can anyone help or know of a possible solution???

    I'm having the same problem with my Time Capsule, which is my TM drive for my MacBook and my wi-fi router for all the notebooks on my netowrk (and ethernet-connected to the desktop Gateway PC running Vista).  One of the reasons I bought it (besides not wanting to be tethered to a portable HD) was because with my old Netgear wi-fi router I kept losing my internet connection.  Worked fine for a week and a half, but then I started losing the connection on my MacBook.  Was also having problems with some of my cordless phones (5.8GHz)not getting dial tone. Friend suggested changing the TC's wireless channel, so I went into AirPort Utility and changed it from Automatic to 8.  I got a window warning me the TC might not be available for a while, which is the understatement of the year. Now (even 2 hrs later) when I run AirPort Utility it tells me "no Apple wireless devices were found" and my network doesn't appear on the AirPort Status menu; on my husband's WinXP laptop my network has also disappeared. I rebooted and rebooted my MacBook (to no avail--previously, it brought back my network). I'm typing this from the desktop PC Ethernet-connected to the TC which is in turn Ethernet-connected to the cable modem, so I know there's nothing wrong (right now) with my cable modem or ISP. I am afraid to unplug and replug the TC, as I might lose even this hard-wired connection. Oh, and the friggin' phones still don't work. (Only one phone in the house gets a dial tone and it's a cordless identical to the others!).

  • Trouble connecting C4795 printer wirelessly

    Ok, so here it what I have:
    Photosmart C4795 printer
    Mac Mini w/ OS X 10.9.5
    Cisco DPC3825 router
    I have tried everything under the sun to connect this printer wirelessly to my computer to no avail.  I have searched the internet high and low for a solution, but have found nothing.  Please help me with this issue.

    Hello @Greentarpon,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are experiencing issues when trying to configure your HP Photosmart C4795 All-in-One Printer for wireless printing with your Mac OS X 10.9.5 computer. I would like to work with you today with resolving this network connectivity issue. Now, just so you are aware, HP actually doesn't have a downloadable Full Feature Software and Driver package available for your model of printer on the Mac OS X 10.9 Operating System due to the age of your printer. Therefore, we will be relying on your Apple Updates to load all the software and drivers onto your Mac computer for you printer. Also, because there is no HP downloadable Full Feature Software and Drivers there is no wireless setup for your Mac computer. Therefore, you have two options:
    Option 1: Use a supported Operating System to configure the wireless on your printer. Once the wireless is configured on your printer than you simply add (+) your wireless bonjour printer into your Mac OS X 10.9 computer.
    Supported Operating Systems include:
    Mac OS X 10.4, Mac OS X 10.5, Mac OS X 10.6, and Mac OS X 10.7
    Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1
    Option 2: Run the Push Button or Pin methods of configuring wireless. These options will only work if your router has this capability.
    How to Configure Wireless with Push Button Method:
    1. On the control panel Home screen, touch the button next to Scan.
    2. Touch the button next to Wireless Menu
    3. Touch the button next to WPS.
    4. Touch the button next to Push Button. The printer begins a timer that lasts approximately two minutes to allow time to press the WPS button on the router.
    5. Press the WPS button on the router. The printer connects to the network. 
    6. Touch OK on the printer control panel.
    How to Configure Wireless with Pin Method:
    1. On the control panel Home screen, touch the button next to Scan.
    2. Touch the button next to Wireless Menu.
    3. Touch the button next to WPS.
    4. Touch the button next to PIN. The PIN displays on the control panel. The printer begins a timer that lasts approximately two minutes to allow time to enter the WPS PIN.
    5. Enter the PIN on the router.
    6. Touch Start. The printer displays a PIN.
    7. Touch OK on the printer control panel.
    Once the printer and router are connected, by either the Push Button or Pin Methods, than you simply add (+) your wireless bonjour printer into your Mac.
    How to Install the software
    Click the Apple menu (), and then click System Preferences. The System Preferences window opens.
    Click Print & Scan. The Print & Scan window opens.
    Click the plus sign (). The name of your printer displays.
    Click Add Printer or Scanner.
    Select your printer, and then click Add.
    Click Install, and then click Agree on the software license agreement window to install the software and add the printer to the queue.
    After the installation process completes, verify that your printer displays in the queue.

  • Printing wireless using airport extreme

    can printers that support 802.11b/g work wirelessly with airport extreme?

    The experience I have had with wireless printing is very easy! Pretty much connect the printer to the AirPort and add it to your computer via "Print and Fax"!

  • My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

    My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

    You will need to install the printer on your Mac
    Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Open Print & Fax
    Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
    Wait for your printer to appear in the next box, then click it to highlight it
    Click Add at the lower right
    Be sure to select the correct printer when you try to print as you will see your printer listed twice. Good idea to make the printer now installed on your Mac the default printer so you do not have to choose which printer to use each time you want to print.
    You can also go into Print & Fax, select the printer associated with the Time Capsule and click the - (minus) button if you want to delete that location.

    Hi Clark
    There is a good chance the printer is just getting auto IP internally..
    Plug it into your TC. And then set to dhcp via the controls on the printer.
    If you know the name of the printer it should be immediately available to the network.. but anyway, you can find its IP by printing out the test page. That will also give you the network name.
    Most later HP printers have web access to the print servers.. just type the ip into your browser and see if it comes up. 
    From the Mac, you should then be able to set it up via the printer preferences. Most HP will just appear.. but if not you should perhaps delete the local version and then check again for network printers.

  • How do I connect Airport Extreme and Time Capsule to my new iMac so that AE is used for network and TC only used for Time Machine backup?

    I didn't realize that Time Capsule will only support the print function of a wireless multifunction printer.  So I want to use Extreme for my network to have full use of my printer and use TC as the Time machine backup only.  How to I make the connections?

    Thanks for your response and this is getting complicated but I just purchased a new iMac as well as the Airport TC.  I've had the Airport Extreme for a year or so.  The Airport Extreme worked perfectly with my old iMac wirelessly and I had all functions of my printer with no problems.  I was expecting the same with the TC.  But the instruction that came with TC say to connect the printer to the TC via USB...which I did.  And the print function worked perfectly but nothing else.  In researching I discovered that when wired that way the TC only supports the print function...not scan or fax or anything else.  I tried going wireless since my AE worked perfectly via wireless but I got no printer functions at all that way.  But I'm wondering also if I tried that during a time I was having other issues...I had to delete and re-add my printer which solved some other problems.  I may try that again...and see if I can get all print functions with just the TC connected
    As far as connecting both your AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule on your network, we're not clear on exactly how you want to do this.  Will the AirPort Extreme connect to your modem using an Ethernet cable and the Time Capsule connect to the AirPort Extreme using an Ethernet cable?.......or......do you want the Time Capsule to connect to the network using wireless?
    Well... first of all I would like not to have to use the AE at all...I would prefer using just my TC for network, all print functions and Time Machine backup if that's possible. My printer will not accept Ethernet connections (Canon MX512).
    After failing at getting this to work, I decided I would try to use my AE for net and print functions and just use my TC for Time Machine backup.  I tried several different connection configurations with no success until finally I connected cable modem to my AE via Ethernet and went wireless with the AE and printer. but connected the AE to the TC via Ethernet and amazingly everything worked like a charm (for a while) and I was patting myself on the back for being so smart.  But now I find that the connection only lasts for a short time.  If I leave it for a while the TC goes invisible...or at least I see a message saying the Ethernet is unplugged...but it is not... and I lose internet connection even though I have a green light on my AE. So now I'm at a loss. I don't know why I keep losing network signal and why my system thinks the Ethernet is unplugged.
    So... after all this...I figured I wasn't so smart after all and I must have things wired incorrectly.
    So... it sounds like you are saying I should go back and try again to get my new TC to work as I want it to via wireless instead of connecting via USB...is that correct?  Could you tell me exactly how I should wire my equipment from cable modem to AE and/or TC to achieve net capability, full functions of my printer and Time Machine backup...
    Thanks...

  • Printing completely broken on both airport express and time capsule

    Printing seems to be broken on both my old time capsul, generation one, and a new airport express.  Here's what happens.
    1.  Connect printer directly to the Mac and everything prints fine.
    2.  Reconnect printer to the Airport or timecapsule.  Delete all the printers.  Power cycle everything.  Add printer.  Print and it keeps trying to connect to the printer forever.
    It use to work and it may have been a recient firmware update that broke it.  Any help would be appreciated.  I've been through all of the support documents and still nothing.  The printer is an old Epson Stylus R280.  I'm running 10.9 with all the latest drivers and updates.

    If you want to run a N speeds, run a cable from Time Capsule to Airport Express, set Time Capsule as your primary router, and turn off DHCP on Airport Express. This will create two networks, your Express will have one SSID, and the Time Capsule another SSID. One G network and one N network. Don't include the express in your network, keep it separate from Time Capsule to avoid it from coming down to G speeds. Make sense?

  • I receive a not connected to the internet message several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via cable modem.. When I input my password to enter network preferences, the connection re-establishes.

    I receive a "not connected to the internet message" several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via a cable modem. Software/firmware is up to date on the iMac (OSX 10.6.8)  and Tme Capsule(7.5.2). Browser is Safari 5.1.
    When I input my password at the prompt to enter network preferences, all the lights go green (ie... ethernet, ISP etc.) and the connection re-establishes immediately and states "the connection appears to be working normally".
    It more of a nuisance than anything and seems to have started ocurring over the past couple of months. I also have a windows XP box also connected to the same cable modem that I never have internet connectivity issues with. I've verified all the physical aspects of the connections and can't see any evidence of any actual drops in the modem logs. I suspect it is just an intermittent communication loss between the Imac and the Time Capsule, but I am not very familiar with Mac equipment yet.
    Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and what you did (if anything) to resolve it?
    Thanks.

    The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
    So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
    Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

  • Airport Express w/Time Capsule drops connection

    I just integrated my new Time Capsule into our all-Mac network here a couple of days ago and its been fine for the most part but I've noticed that the existing airport express flashes amber for a few seconds every so often (usually once per hour or so) and disconnects everyone sharing files and connections. I have Leopard Server 10.5.2 running as well and this didn't seem to be happening before introducing Server to the mix (it was connected about 48 hours AFTER the time capsule) but the problem seems to lie with the Airport Express. Things are connected as follows:
    Cable modem --> Airport Extreme
    Airport Extreme --> 2 ethernet connections to Macs, 1 ethernet connection to Time Capsule
    Time Capsule --> 1 ethernet connection to Mac Mini running Leopard Server
    I have bridge mode set up and a couple of portables connected to it as well as an Apple TV, all of these seem to be connecting and staying connected just fine - it's the two Mac's connected directly to the Airport Extreme that get hit - the light on the unit (AE) flashes amber for maybe 2-3 seconds and I lose connection to any other macs I was connected to - I can easily re-connect with no problems at all but its obviously kind of a pain when you're working on files from the server, etc. and everything more or less locks up while OS X loses these connections.
    Does anyone have any insight into why this might be happening? I've never had any trouble with this prior to Time Capsule/Leopard Server, both of which I allowed to more or less set their own settings on the Airport Extreme figuring that it isn't too complex a set up or anything, it's not like we're a full on 20 client office here or something, just 5 total macs, no pc's, etc.
    any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm running into exactly the same problem. Configuration is the same as Jackoschild's. I get about an hour of good connection, then signal drops off and I get a rapid set of connects then disconnects. Very frustrating. I'm considering turning off the Airport on the Time Capsule and going with my 54g wireless built-in to the FIOS router it is attached to. Total of two iMacs running 10.5.2 (one 20" G5, one 24" iMac) and four PCs (Windows XP SP2) demonstrating the problem. I NEVER had a drop issue with the FIOS ActionTek wireless.
    Any solutions?
