Does Time Capsule and Time Warner Cable Road Runner work together?

I have Time Warner Cable Road Runner internet serve. I am currently using a Linksys WRT54G WiFi router to use my internet with my MacBook Pro. I am thinking about replacing my Linksys with a Time Capsule. Will the Time Capsule work with TWC Road Runner? I have looked all over with google and have not found an answer. I heard that you can't clone the MAC address of the Road Runner modem. To get my Linksys to work I had to clone the MAC address. Is this true?

I use time warner road runner ripoff and also have it hooked to my vonage router,a linksys with 2 telephone ports and 4 additional ports one of which is given to the TC, another to slingback and another to xbox and finnally he network printer.
The Linksys router , I believe is the main router and the TC is added on as a secondary router ad you choose this during set up, it can either be visible or invisible extending your present wireless setup.
After much tinkering I managed to get it working on the network, the TC that is seen by both my MacPro's and my OQO UMPC that is running Vista. I also hooked the TC up to a USB hub, another linksys, and attached a 1.5 GB Maxtor external drive. I plan to add another so I will have a total of 4 GB of storage.
The main problems I have encountered is my Mac pro seeing the configuration after going to sleep, seems to take a really long time and sometimes I have to restart the TC.
So far all I can say is it IS NOT as easy as Apple would like us to think it is. A lot of tinkering, and you should have a tad of knowledge of what your doing or your going to screw it up. Patience helps as well.
cheers.

  • Airport with Time Warner Cable Road Runner

    We have Time Warner Cable's Road Runner as our isp. They gave us a wireless router, which has been working fine. However, we have 2 floors in our house, and occasionally my computer, that is on the floor above the router, drops the signal. I do have the Airport Extreme, which someone told me I can connect to my computer to help boost the signal. Is this correct, and if so, how do I do that? Because when I try connecting my computer via ethernet cable to the Extreme, it pulls up the old network I use to have the Extreme assigned to. How can I resest the Extreme to work with the Road Runner router account? And is this even how it is done?

    In order to extend the Time Warner-provided router's network wirelessly, you will need to set up a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between that router and the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
    Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS...so it very unlikely that the router Time Warner has provided you can be extended wirelessly with the AEBS.
    The few that are known to work are:
    o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
    o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
    o BT Voyager 2091
    o Netgear WGR614 v6
    o Buffalo WGR-G54

  • Time Warner Cable Road Runner With Turbo + Linksys WRT160N Router

    Guys & Ladies,
    I'm having a problem either with road runner turbo cable internet or my wrt160n router, I had two different technicians from time warner to check out the problem why my internet connection is very slow they say everything is fine on they're end of the signal.. They figure it's the router causeing the problem due to the fact it drops the signal speed 15% the technician claim when he was looking at the problem.  Here's how I got the network setup: Network mode is selected on mixed channel width is selected on 20mhz and channel is 10...wireless security security mode is WPA2 Personal encryption is AES. The advance wireless settings are these selections...frame burst disabled basic rate is disable...The technician did say the ethernet cable might be going bad? If so what should I buy? how many feet? like 12ft to 18ft?
    Anything I can do to make it faster? I tried speaking with Linksys tech support they wouldn't talk to me unless I paid them $15 dollars?

     As for right now earlier it gave me slow speeds on the wireless side while the wired connection worked awesome.  The wireless speeds are around 8.92 mbps download 0.95 upload at speedtest.net the level 2 linksys technician claims my wireless speeds should be higher than that? Since it's Road Runner Turbo with speedbooster. 
    Here's what the level 2 linksys technician told me to do when he had me on the phone earlier, he told me to change the security mode to WPA Personal instead of having WPA Personal 2 selected and change security mode password, network mode to wireless g and set the channel to 10.. Then he asked hows the signal? I said from 10 feet away from the router my intel pro wireless connection shows full strength and excellent signal and right now still shows full stregth and excellent signal.  He said watch over it tonight if anymore problems call back or talk to linksys chat support
    Should I have the transmission rate set on 54G or Auto under the advanced router settings and what about basic rate?
    I don't know what else to do to fix the problems.

    SinceI have loaded the update, 5.1.1 my TIme Warner cable has stopped working.  It gets stuck at launch all I see is the logo of TWC.  I have reinstalled it, rebooted my IPAD.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Time Warner Cable Chat Live Problem- no JRE Plugin

    When I go to the TWC support site and try their Chat Live, I get an error dialog box in the Safari window. It says I need the JRE Plugin, which is N/A to the iPad's Safari. They are blaming Apple's Java on mobile Safari. Does anyone know what the story is? Is there a shortcoming in iOS Safari, or can the problem be with the design of their website?
    Here's what they sent me:
    Thank you for contacting Time Warner Cable, Road Runner email Support.
    I understand that you are unable to access RR Chat support tool using your iPad2 device with updated OS and Safari browser.
    I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
    I will be glad to assist you with this.
    As per the error message you have mentioned, it seems that the issue is with Java application error on the iPad device.
    In this regard, please update the Java application installed on your iPad device and try to contact our Chat support again.
    If you are still unable to access the Chat support, I request you please contact Apple support for further assistance, as they will be able to resolve the issue for you.
    Here is the Apple support contact information for reference: (800) 275-2273.
    You can also visit this URL link for support: http://apple.com/support
    I hope your issue gets resolved as early as possible.
    Your case number for this e-mail interaction is 1345062.
    If you have any other queries, you can also contact our Chat or Voice support for Live assistance.
    Contacting us through chat or voice support will enable an agent to thoroughly look into your issue and offer necessary steps to resolve the issue.

    I sent this reply to the TWC support email (above):
    The answer you sent me is not correct. You asked me to update the Java application on my iPad.  iPads and iPhones do not use Java.
    Since you have a LOT, repeat a LOT of customers that use Apple's devices, I'm making a suggestion, that you think seriously about upgrading your support site Chat Live function so that it supports iOS devices. 
    Or
    Ad a Chat Live interface to your myTWC app for the iPad and iPhone.
    You need to get really serious about making all of your sites iOS friendly as people are migrating from computers to tablets, and the iPad is the only game in town-at least for now. 

  • Time Warner Cable Blue Screen Issue

    Some time ago Time Warner cable (Road Runner) upgraded their system. They now require Flash Player to access their pages. For the past three days I have worked on and off with Level 2 Road Runner Techs to get my Mac to acess their web page.
    Up to that time I only got a "Blue Screen"!
    Here are my particulars: OS 9.2.2, Flash Player 7.2 installed, IE version 5.1, Adobe Reader installed, Cookies erased, History cleared from IE Preferences advanced,
    To get access to their web page I should type in www.dc.rr.com/flash/
    I get blue screen.
    If I type in www.rr.dc.com/rdrun/ I get a Road Runner "sell" page with no link to their "Home Page"
    My last go around with Road Runner Techs was fatal as they said I should contact Microsoft.
    Microsoft no longer supports telephone supprot for Macintosh. If you go to their web page they want $35.00 for online access to their techs with no guarantee they can solve the problem.
    Does anyone have any knowledge as to how to solve this problem so I can access the Home page of the provider I pay handsomly monthly?
    Thank you for any assistance you can give me.
    John

    When I type in www.dc.rr.com/flash/ I get this;

  • Time Capsule and Time Warner Cable

    I am having problems with the initial set up of my time capsule. We have an iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Gz and an internet connection through Time Warner Cable (with the requisite cable modem). During set up of the time capsule, I keep getting a message that the time capsule does not have a valid IP address. Do I need to contact TWC? It is my serious hope that I will not have to, as I think TWC's customer service is wretched.

    You can normally get this going yourself. The cable modem has only one public IP allocated to the first MAC address to connect.. So you need to power down the cable modem.. power down the rest of the network as well... although not strictly required.. Make sure the only thing plugged into the cable modem is the TC via the WAN port. Restart the cable modem.. wait about 2 minutes for everything to settle down .. then turn on the TC.. it should then get the IP that is offered. If it still fails turn off the cable modem for longer period of time .. even overnight. But it normally takes just a few seconds.. if that fails, try 5min and then 15min .. after that overnight.
    Tell us the results after each time.. I don't have TWC but have been a cable customer in the past and the system does keep changing. One minute off was more than enough but they changed and some of the modems that have phone services, also have battery backup.. if that is the case you need to drop the battery out as well.

  • Recently upgraded my service with Time Warner Cable to Extreme speed and got a new Motorola Surfboard SBG6580, now I get Error -50 constantly.  Anyone else have this issue?

    I just upgraded my service to Extreme with Time Warner Cable and got the motorola surfboard sbg6580 modem.  Now when I try to dowload any videos or TV shows on iTunes, I get an Error -50 mid download.  Anyone have a solution for this?  I am using a PC, not a Mac computer.

    I don't want a used replacement phone when I just bought mine. I have had your "like new" replacements before for my basic phone and had a ton of issues straight out of the box, which is why I don't want one when my phone is so new and I have had issues since day 1! Not once on my several calls to tech support, did anyone tell me to go exchange it the first 2 weeks. That is just one reason they want to send me a replacement. Another is the USB does not work properly, I can't use it to do anything but charge the phone- and my husband has the same phone so I know is not the cord or the computer because his works perfectly. The connection was sporadic so I just installed a new SIM card. So far that has helped with dropping 4g all the time. I have never been able to back up my contacts, spent 2 hours on the phone with tech support the first night I got it just trying to sync the contacts from my old phone. It never worked, I had to hand input the numbers. If Verizon won't do right by be and give me a new phone, I at least would like them to get mine working like it should have when I bought it.

  • When I connect Time Capsule to Time Warner Cable Modem, amber light flashes

    I want to use Time Capsule as my primary wireless network base. When I connect my Time Capsule directly to my Time Warner Cable Modem, the amber light flashes and Time Capsule won't appear in AirPort Utility on my MacBookPro. I've tried unplugging everything and waiting to reset cable modem and Time Capsule.
    Before I got the Time Capsule, I used a wireless router. The only way I can get Time Capsule to work is as a guest on my old wireless router network. I can't get the Time Capsule to configure itself directly with my Time Warner Cable Modem.
    Any advice would be most appreciated.

    This situation is pretty common now and it has nothing to do with the any of the routers but rather how cable modems are configured to work. They seem to latch on to the first device connected to them whether it be a router or a computer and will not allow any other device to access their network. The solution is to power off the cable modem and wait a minute. While you're waiting disconnect the old connection from the cable modem. Power up the cable modem and then connect the new device, router or computer, to the cable modem. Give it a few seconds to complete the connection and you should be ready to go. You have to do this every time you switch connections to the cable modem. This is also why you should set your router to serve addresses so that you don't have to do the cable modem samba when you want to connect a new device to the network.
