Connecting time capsule without cable ethernet

I want connect a Time Capsule in a existing wireless network without any cable, it´s possible?

Hi Guys,
I have a Thomson tg584n providing Wireless access. What i need is to configure a TC via wireless.
I was told that i can´t extend my network using this 2 equipments, because they are not compatible. Correct?
Is it possible to ( without connecting each other by ethernet ) extend my wireless to TC?
How?:
1. turn off wifi in the Thomson router and configure TC as bridge? need to be connected via cable
2. configure TC to extend my wilreless network? what i read is that they are not compatible
3. connect both via ETH cable? ( i was just trying to avoid these)
Regards

  • Can I use my AirPort Time Capsule without an ethernet or wifi connection?

    I'm at university and would like to still be able to back up my macbook, but I don't have access an ethernet connection.

    While you can certainly store media on the Time Capsule, you might want to think about how you plan to back up that important data to another hard drive.
    I would not recommend that you try to locate a "working" library on the Time Capsule though. Access will be slow, and the application will tend to "lose" the library more oftern that you might like.
    A better plan would be to connect a USB or FireWire drive to the Mac and move the media over to that drive. Then, Then Time Machine can back up both the Mac and the data on the hard drive to the Time Capsule.
    You much faster access to your libraries this way, and everything on your Mac and hard drive gets backed up.

  • Can I use my Time Capsule without cable internet?

    We lost our cable service and are now operating on our resort's wifi.  Is it possible to use my time capsule for backup and/or router now that we don't have internet coming in on a cable?

    I am not an express fan.. but what I need to help you is screenshots from your airport utility.
    I think it would be smart to
    1. Factory reset the Express.. it is lost and if you run Yosemite that is no surprise.
    2. If you use iphone or ipad then try using the airport utility in that to do the setup.. it is better than Yosemite.
    3. If you do it from computer.. try plugging the express LAN port to the computer.. Leave the TC off.. so there is no Apple wifi to connect to. And turn off the wireless in the computer.. delete all the current wireless names.. then turn wireless back on again.. You want it to be usable by the airport utility but not linked to the resort wifi.
    Then start the setup..
    Apple do make logical choices based on how you have the express configured.. if it finds itself in this setup it might actually work..
    If it does not come up with correct setup then choose from options.
    Here is how I did it on airport time capsule..
    The utility picks something.. I do not want it to extend.. so click options.
    I want to add it to an existing network.
    In your case you would add to existing network.. and the option to Join a wireless network should be there.
    If you cannot make sense of it I will get Bob Timmons to help as he uses this setup often and knows it very well using the Express.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • I CANNOT PRINT FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY BROTHER 8890DW PRINTER WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY TIME CAPSULE/NETWORK VIA ETHERNET CABLE???

    Why can’t I print from my iPhone 4 to my brother 8890dw printer which is connected to my time capsule/network via ethernet cable???  My iPhone does not even locate my printer,even though I have no problem printing from my Mac to the same printer.

    Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read.  Many simply do not read such posts.
    You would need an airprint enabled printer or an app that proides printing function.

  • 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

  • Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • Accessing Time Capsule Without Internet Connection

    Simple question: How do I access my Time Capsule without an internet connection?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Restoring to defaults might be the best way to go. This will not affect your backups.
    To do this, simply hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly. Keep holding another 4-5 seconds when you see this and then release.
    If you have a spare ethernet cable handy, I would recommend that you connect it from the Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Continue to follow the guided setup. When you are asked how you want to configure the Time Capsule, choose the "Create a wireless network option"
    Keep following the guide until you Update. You'll see a message that you do not have an ethernet connection at the WAN Port and also that you do not have an Internet connection. Click "ignore" to both of these messages and you get a greeen light when the Time Capsule restarts.
    Then, set up Time Machine again.
    Click System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and open Time Machine
    Click Select Disk
    Click your Time Capsule to highlight it
    Click Use for Backups
    That should get backups going again and also allow you to access your backups by clicking the Time Machine icon on the dock.
    You can keep the computer connected using the ethernet cable, or use the wireless on your computer to connect to the wireless network that the Time Capsule is providing.

  • HT1175 I am trying to setup my Time capsule via a ethernet cable as a back up for a new iMac. The on button on the time capsule set up window keeps failing to stay on. Any ideas what to do?

    A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
    But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
    If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
    Important thing is to get access to the TC.
    The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

  • Can i unplug time capsule from the ethernet cable and still use it??

    can i unplug time capsule from the ethernet cable and still use it??

    I have tried to extend that wireless line but as soon as i remove the LAN cable i have no internet connection anymore. So basically, does the TC get the signal wireless from the router??
    The Time Capsule can wirelessly extend a wireless signal....but only if it is being provided by another Apple AirPort wireless router.
    If the "main" rotuer there is not an Apple AirPort router,  you will need to connect to the network using a wired Ethernet connection.

  • HT4259 Direct Connect  Two Time Capsules together with Ethernet.

    I have TWO Time Capsules  ( One upstairs providing Time Machine backup to IMAC #1 )  and  (One downstairs providing Time Machine Backup to IMAC#2)
    I would like to extend the wireless network portion of this to reach the whiole house with ONE wireless network. I know I can EXTEND the network, but my question is can Connect the two time capsules together via Ethernet cable ( my house is pre wired).  This will essentially ensure that the two devices have a solid connection instead of relying on WIRELESS.
    Any reasons to NOT do this?
    Time Machine will be used differently on the two devices.
    Thanks

    Hello!
    I have the same problem, i am trying to do this

    On the second i have, Bridge mode.
    But when i am connected with eth to the second one i wont recive dhcp addresses or anything... like it wont passtrough.
    Any ideas?

  • Why Does My Apple Time Capsule , not share ethernet when connected to my current network?

    Hello
    Thank You for taking the time to look at this , my apple time capsule will not share ethernet when joined to my current network , the only way i can get the ethernet ports working is connecting a ethernet port from my airport express to my time capsule and that enables the ethernet ports (which is fine)
    So I'm Wondering Why This Works
    My Current Set up is
    Netgear Router Downstairs (Main Router)
    Apple Airport Express upstairs (set to join existing network)
    Belkin 8 Port Network Switch ( Ethernet cable from express to switch) (3 other devices connected to switch as well)
    Time Capsule upstairs (cable running from switch to time capsules wan port)
    Hey Presto
    So I'm wondering why i have to go around the houses to allow these 3 ethernet ports on the time capsule to work

    Because Apple decided it should be so.. and it was!
    The Airport Express can join a wireless network (non-apple) and still keep the ethernet port alive.
    When Airport Extreme or TC join a non-apple wireless network, they shut off the ethernet ports.
    It was a decree from on high.. there is some technical stuff about MAC addresses hidden behind the router.. but it also makes people have to buy another router they don't actually need.. hence good for the Apple bottom line. And what Apple deems is good for it.. is plainly good for you.. !!
    The solution is to use the airport express downstairs.. plugged into your netgear router.. and tick allow extend network.. and set the TC upstairs to extend a wireless network. In this mode the TC will keep the ethernet active.
    Isn't it fun when you have Apple working hard to close the loop.

  • 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.

  • 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.
