Connecting Time Capsule to PS3 Slim

We are having a heck of a time getting our new PS3 Slim to work with our TimeCapsule (wireless internet connection). The PS3 sees the Time Capsule, but the PS3 queries against the Time Capsule and then times out before it ever gets an IP address from the Time Capsule. We have WPA2 incryption. So we looked on Google, and someone said we needed to convert the password to a hexidecimal string (which we did using Airport Utility). When we got this string, it was all cap letters and numbers. When we entered it, the PS3 told us the format was wrong, which we assume is because it needs a lowercase letter, which the Aiport Utility did not give us.
We have other computers using our network, so we know connectivity is not the problem. We can't seem to get the PS3 to talk to Aiport.
Anyone had this problem and have a solution? Do we need to change to WEP? Do we need to change the Time Capsule password to a numeric string? We are at a loss.
Thanks.

We have our PS3 connected wirelessly to our Time Capsule > ADSL Modem > Internet, first I used the Easy option to configure the PS3 then once I had a connection went back and Customised the settings.
One thing to make sure of is the *WAP2-PSK (AES)* Key make sure you enter it correctly as mistaking a capitol I - i for a lowercase l -L will mess everything up.
*PS3 Network Settings*
*Internet Connection:* Enabled
*Connection Method:* Wireless
*Signal Strength:* 90%
SSID: *****
BSSID: *****
Channel: 1
Security: WPA2-PSK (AES)
*WPA Key:* *****
*Address Settings:* Automatic
*IP Address:* ***** (I set my Time Capsule to reserve this IP Address for my PS3)
Subnet: 255:255:255:0
*Default Router:* (This shows my Time Capsule IP Address)
*Primary DNS:* 212.159.6.10
*Secondary DNS:* 212.159.6.9
MAC: *****
MTU: Automatic
*Proxy Server:* Do Not Use
UPnP: Not Available (I set to enable when going through the setup process)
NAT: Type 2
Another thing to note after you have successfully got your connection running is the DNS addresses. I did have ours set to Automatic which was then using the Time Capsule, however going onto VidZone I could not get videos to play, Playstation Home was fine. So I went back into the settings and changed the +Primary and Secondary DNS+ addresses to the ones my ISP states on their website. After this all the videos in VidZone run like a dream.
Hope this helps some people.

  • I have a modem from my cable company that provides WiFi.  When I try to connect time capsule to the modem via an ethernet cable I am unable to and I also lose my wifi connection

    I have a modem from my cable company that provides WiFi as well as ethernet ports for internet TV and Sonos.  But when I connect Time Capsule via an ethernet cable to the back of the modem I am unable to get it to work and I lose my wifi connection completely. I added Time Capsule to back up data and also to extend the reach of my wifi with an airport extreme hooked up by another computer.

    Put the TC in bridge before you plug it in.. ie do the setup in isolation to the rest of the network..
    I would also start a new wireless name on the TC so it is different to the cable router..
    If you want to be exacting also set wireless channels so the cable router is set to say channel 1 and the TC set to 11 for 2.4ghz. Then plug it in.. you will have no trouble as the TC will get an ip address as part of the existing networking.. then extend the wireless using the extreme.

  • I want to connect Time Capsule with Time Warner modem

    How do you connect Time Capsule to a Time Warner modem? I am upgrading my Wi-Fi to AC and have a Motorola modem without AC, router and WiFi. I could just upgrade the Motorola modem, but I would like to use a Time Capsule. My connection to Time Warner usesd a splitter that goes to a DVR with the other end going to the Motorola modem by way of a coax connector.

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> port on the Motorola modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
    Power up the Time Capsule for a few minutes. At this point the amber light will be blinking slowly on the device.
    On your Mac....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on Other WiFi Devices
    Click on Time Capsule
    The utility will open up and take a minute to analyze the network, then display a window that looks like the screenshot below...except that you will see a Time Capsule on the screen.
    Network Name......enter a simple name that you want to use as your wireless network name
    Base Station Name....enter a simple name that you want to call the Time Capsule
    Password.....enter a password that will be used for both the network and Time Capsule
    Verify......verify the password
    Cick Next
    The utility will set up everything for you. When you see a green light on the Time Capsule, log on to the new wireless network that you have created and enter the password to connect.

  • Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Hi Bob,
    I'm not certain the post I sent was posted correctly, as I added it as a reply to a 3-year old thread. Since this is a recently-active thread, though not specific to the issue at hand, I thought I'd post again:
    Three years ago you helped me set up a roaming wireless network in my home. It's been rock-steady and I'm forever grateful to you for the time and guidance you gave me. I'd now like to swap out my AirPort Extreme base station for a time capsule. As I understand it, I should be able to unplug the base station and replace it with the TC without problem, so long as I use all the same settings on my TC... network name, security protocol, password, etc. Given the complexity of my network, I thought I should check with you first for any advice you might have. I don't want to set up a new network or make any changes to the existing one-- with the exception of using the TC in place of the AE. I'm already using Time Machine for backups. As a refresher, my current setup has the AE as base station and 3 expresses hard-wired with Ethernet connections elsewhere in my home. I have a 4th express set up wirelessly to use with my stereo system at the front of the house. All AXs are 'n's and are set up, as per your instructions, in Bridge mode to extend the existing network. I'm running the most updated version of Mavericks on my MBPro. Any suggestions you might have will be, as always, very much appreciated! Sincerely, Phyllis Sommers

  • How to connect Time Capsule?

    I am looking for a backup solution and I am consider a Time Capsule. Consider the following situation:
    Mac Pro
    Leopard
    I have a few questions:
    1. Can I connect the Time Capsule via ethernet and direct Time Machine to backup to the Time Capsule using ethernet?
    2. If I do not use ethernet, can I use the USB port on the back of the Time Capsule to connect to my Mac Pro and use it with Time Capsule that way?
    3. What hard drive manufacturer is used in the Time Capsule?
    4. I understand the Time Capsule has built in WI-FI, but if I do not want to use WI-FI for back-up what are my other options if 1&2 do not work above to connect Time Capsule to my Mac Pro?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Welcome to the discussions!
    +"1. Can I connect the Time Capsule via ethernet and direct Time Machine to backup to the Time Capsule using ethernet?"+
    Certainly.
    +"2. If I do not use ethernet, can I use the USB port on the back of the Time Capsule to connect to my Mac Pro and use it with Time Capsule that way?"+
    No, this is not possible. The USB port will support compatible printers and an outboard USB drive.
    +"3. What hard drive manufacturer is used in the Time Capsule?"+
    Difficult to say. I'm sure Apple uses different suppliers. The only way to know is to open up the Time Capsule (voiding the warranty). The "Get Info" command may possibly supply some general information.
    +"4. I understand the Time Capsule has built in WI-FI, but if I do not want to use WI-FI for back-up what are my other options if 1&2 do not work above to connect Time Capsule to my Mac Pro?"+
    You can connect to the Time Capsule via ethernet or wireless. If you do not intend to use the wireless capability of the Time Capsule at all, you can turn off the wireless using AirPort Utility, the setup application that is used to configure the Time Capsule.

  • Can't connect time capsule to imac

    I can't connect Time Capsule (TC) to the iMac.  I get the following message: Another device on the network is using your ocmputer's IP address.

    So does the Mac get an IP from the network or is it self allocated?
    Does it have internet?
    Can you please give me some more info.. I want the IP of the TC.. if still default then it is 10.0.1.1
    What IP has your Mac got? Just get it from the network preferences. You have  direct access via the airport icon.
    We have seen any number of issues with Lion and latest TC firmware. Why it works on one computer and not another I don't know.
    Try rebooting all the network items.. turn everything off and start in correct order with a few minutes in between.
    modem---main router (TC if that is it)----wireless extenders----then clients.
    Does the TC now appear?
    If not from a computer that can access it, do a reset of the TC and change all the names to SMB compliant.
    Short, no spaces no special characters.. ie pure alphanumeric.
    Passwords can be longer.. but same rules.. nothing more than 20 characters.
    Lock the wireless channels.. for 2.4ghz, 1, 6, 11, and try each in turn if you have issues.

  • Connecting Time Capsule with WildBlue Satellite Service

    HELP! Please...
    I am trying to set up Time Capsule to work with my satellite service, WildBlue, and I can't get it working properly.
    Before WildBlue was installed, I connected my iMac and my wife's iMac (it's on Mac OS 10.5.0), one at a time, with Time Capsule directly via Ethernet and back-up each iMac.
    WildBlue satellite service was installed yesterday and the installer had no idea how to hook everything up. It was his first install. I was able to connect the WildBlue modem via Ethernet directly to my wife's Mac and made it work. When I try to add the Time Capsule, that's where I run into problems.
    I ran the Ethernet cable from the WildBlue modem to the Internet WAN port on Time Capsule and I could not get it to work at all via AirPort. I tried using AirPort Utility and System Preferences - Network and could not get anything to work. I then ran an Ethernet cable from one of the four Ethernet plugs on the back of Time Capsule to the Ethernet plug on the back of my wife's iMac and was able to connect to the internet and get email on her Mac. I tried to run Time Machine, but it can't find Time Capsule! The only way it seems that I can get her iMac to do anything is to either connect it directly to the modem without Time Capsule or run the Ethernet cable thru Time Capsule to the iMac and not be able to connect to Time Machine. I still could not connect my iMac (it's on Mac OS 10.5.4) via Airport no matter what I did.
    Can someone help me so that I can get Time Capsule connected and working the way it should?
    My understanding is that I should be able to connect Time Capsule to the WildBlue modem via Ethernet and then connect my wife's iMac directly to Time Capsule via Ethernet and still be able to run Time Machine to back-up her iMac. Her iMac and the WildBlue modem sit in the same room together and my iMac is on the other side of the house where I want to use AirPort to connect to Time Capsule so that I can back-up my iMac and have access to the internet. If this isn't the way it is going to work can someone explain it to me on how it should and how I should set everything up to work correctly?
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me.
    Rod

    You can, but devices connected to the D-Link switch will drop to a maximum of 100 Mbps speeds. The Time Capsule supports 1,000 Mbps or Gigabit speeds.
    If you plan to transfer a lot of files using Ethernet, the numbers speak for themselves.

  • Connecting Time Capsule to a Windows 7 PC via Ethernet

    Hi,
    I have the following network configuration:
    - Speedport (Deutsche Telekom AG) as DSL Router (I need that router for the IPTV)
    - Connected to this router are two laptops and the Time capsule (WLAN)
    Everything is working fine. However, I try now for days to connect my Windows 7 PC via Ethernet to this network via the Time Capsule. Due to location it is not possible to connect the Windows 7 PC directly to DSL Router or to connect the Time Capsule by cable to the router.
    I think I tried every possible configuariton but without any improvements. Does anyone have an Idea what I can do ???
    Windows is always telling "no identified network" and it always shows a park bench
    Hope anyone have an idea ! Thanx for your help

  • How to connect Time Capsule wirelessly (without hard wire connection)

    Okay, so just bought a Time Capsule, and in the process of setting it up, I am being told by Airport Utility that I need to hardwire the TC to my wireless router in order for it create a network.....
    My question:  Is there anyway around this?  Is there anyway I can create an extended WiFi connection thru the TC without hardwiring?   I have a wifi extender (NetGear universal wifi range extender WGN3000) and was hoping that TC would connect to it and act as a second extender relay.
    I hope my question is clear.
    Also, is my understanding correct that if the TC is not hardwired, and it does not possess a wireless connection, then in order to backup my computer, I must connect to the basestation in Airport, and during that time I will be unable to use the internet??
    THanks!!

    We always say to people do the first backup by ethernet anyway.. wireless takes far too long.. once you are just doing incremental then it is ok by wireless.
    But wireless halves in speed for every hop.. so make sure there is only ever one wireless link between the TC and the computer if at all possible. If you join it by wireless to the network.. you will have no gain.. and lots of pain.. plus half what are already poor speeds.. so you may as well just connect to the router by ethernet.. and bridge the TC.. you can then also setup wireless .. particularly 5ghz which the rest of your network probably doesn't use so you have a faster than normal link both to internet and TC for backup.. when you are in the same room.. link at 5ghz gives great speed and poor range.. go more than one room away and it will generally fall away to nothing.

  • What is the best way to connect time capsule to bt infinity

    I have bt infinity and want to connect my time capsual to it does anybody know what configuration would get the best connection?

    I have just had Infinity installed and also have a time capsule.
    The way I have set it up is as follows:
    Get rid of the HomeHub they provide (to save electricity).
    Need to keep the VDSL2 modem (the other box that plugs into the phone socket).
    Plug the VDSL modem into the time capsule WAN port directly.
    Go into time capsule manual setup via the airport utility
    On the internet settings tab:
    Connect Using select PPPoE
    Account Name enter '[email protected]'
    Password and verify password enter a single space (as in press the space bar once). There is no password, but for some reason it will not accept no password at all, and won't negotiate properly.
    I don't have a service name set, and 'connection' is set to always on' with 'disconnect if idle' set to never.
    Works perfect, I then use the time capsule as the wifi hub and all my devices connect to this.

  • Connect Time Capsule to BT Home Hub ?

    I recently purchased the Time Capsule and want to connect it to my BT Home Hub, using the Airport Utility on the CD that comes with Time Capsule I follow all the on screen prompts about adding it to my existing wireless network. The Time Capsule updates and then a message comes up about it re-starting, after this message closes the Airport Utility shows an error message and says that no Apple wireless device can be found. I have to reset the Time Capsule for it to show up on the list again
    My BT Home Hub is WEP protected and I've seen a few posts and forums around the web saying that the Time Capsule is WPA protected. If that was the case why does it give the option for WEP passwords.
    Anybody else had this problem or knows of a workaround ? - I don't want to have to change my security settings on my BT Home Hub to WPA/ WPA2 as this will have a knock on issue with other items I use on my wireless network.
    Any assistance would be appreciated as I spent 5 hours last night playing around with settings to no avail - All I managed to connect was the Time Capsule to my Mac (just to make sure it was working).
    Regards
    Andrew

    Silly question, but how should I initially set up the Time Capsule to set it as a secondary router ? by creating a new wireless network or something else - do I need to attached the ethernet cable from my main wireless BT Home Hub for intial set up ? *NOTE: I currently have the Time Capsule attached by wireless to my Mac so therfore cannot access the internet at the same time without changing network.
    I'm currently at work so forgive the abbreviated exact terms for the selection process for adding the Time Capsule, should I select the first option from the list when prompted ie "to add or replace device on wireless network..." as oposed to selecting "add device to existing wireless network" ?
    I understand about setting it to "bridge" just wondered the best way to get to that point to allow me to do that.
    Any further assistance would be very much appreciated
    Regards
    Andrew

  • Cant re connect Time Capsule

    Hi,
          Since changing my ISP to BT Internet Infinity I have not been able to re establish connection of my Time Machine to my MacBook Pro. My previous ISP was Virgin Broadband and there was no problem with that connection.
       I have been onto the BT Internet helpline (via Delhi) for about an hour but to no avail. So, if anyone can give me some advice on how to re connect I would be very grateful.
    kind regards  Ken

    Your Time Capsule was programmed to remember the settings to "join" your "old" wireless network. It is still looking for that network to connect, but cannot because the network is no longer there.
    You will need perform a Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule and reconfigure it again with the correct settings for your new wireless network.
    I am sure that you know the name of the network, but you may not know the exact type of wireless security that  your new wireless router is using.
    Check your documentation to find out about this, as you will need to provide the Time Capsule with the correct information to join the new network.
    If the Time Capsule does not receive the right settings, it will not be able to join the network and you will see a blinking amber light instead of green on the Time Capsule after you save the configuration settings by clicking Update.
    The Factory Default Reset is a bit tricky....you almost need 3 hands.
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait 4-5 minutes
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in for another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the Time Capsule
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow approximately 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Continue to follow the guided setup to configure the Time Capsule to "join" your wireless network
    A green light about 25-30 seconds after you click Update will signal a successful setup. If you only get the blinking amber light...you will need start all over with the Factory Default Reset and try again.
    The reset will not affect the existing backups on your Time Capsule, but you will need to reset Time Machine again to get backups going. Post back if you need info on this.

  • HT1178 Connecting Time Capsule to FIOS Router

    Having trouble connecting the Time Capsule to a FIOS (Westell) Router. Can create a network and see all devices, however cannot get an internet connection.

    Sorry, you are asking about a special or custom bridge mode configuration of an Actiontec Router......which would be far beyond the scope of this forum, which is dedicated to Apple products.
    If you are successful in configuring the Actiontec Router this way, then you would setup the TC as a router to provide DHCP and NAT service.....which is the standard default configuration of the TC.
    The Ethernet connection from the Actiontec router would connect to the WAN "O" port on the TC.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on Other WiFI Devices
    Click on Time Capsule
    That will bring up the setup screen for the TC. Click on Other Options, then click Create a New Wireless Network and follow the prompts
    If you decide that you do not want to configure the Actiontec router in Bridge Mode and use it "as is" in its standard router configuration, then you do have the option to configure the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode.
    If you want to do it this way, follow the first three steps above. Then AirPort Utility will suggest the correct configuration for you in a window that will look like this:
    Enter a name that you want to use for your wireless network
    Enter a device name for the Time Capsule
    Enter a password
    Verify the password
    Click Next
    AirPort Utility will set up everything for you automatically. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done. You can now log on to the Time Capsule wireless network that you named and enter the password to connect.

  • New problem connecting time capsule to PC running windows 7

    I have a time capsule/airport that has been connecting wirelessly to a PC running Windows 7 for almost a year.  The PC is now unable to connect to the time capsule giving an error message of 53 regarding TCP/IP Netbios settings.  I have attempted opening the airport utility and eliminating the spaces in the time capsule name but had no success.  Any suggestions?

    Start with a reset of the TC.. plug it into the computer by ethernet and redo the setup.. remember.. you have ethernet to bypass all the wireless voodoo.. you can do the setup without even having the TC in network.. pull it out.. plug straight into the computer with a short cable.. go to work..
    If windows 7 still has issues.. then it is a win7 problem entirely.. reinstall win7 being the best solution.. !!
    Well that is a bit mean.. in their multitudinous updates.. Microsoft will often send an update that results in some nasty effects they never had 10,000 different PC to test for. Sometimes you need to roll back the update..
    Sometimes win7 just goes stupid.. go to device manager.. unload the wifi card driver.. reboot the computer and load it back again.. get the latest driver from the card manufacturer.
    Also make sure windows hasn't decided it is now in a work or public location not home.. it does this at intervals.. randomly to introduce fun in networking.. turn off firewalls.. and start testing procedure.. ping the TC.. turn off ipv6 in both the win7 and TC.. etc. Loads of fun things to do.
    I am not sure the error message is at all relevant.. never really needed netbios to work to get internet.. but go to the tcp/ip properties for the wifi card and make sure you check netbios over TCP/IP is on.
