Enabling upnp on Time Capsule

I want to use the iphone Samsung remote app to control my Samsung LED TV. Unfortunately for this function needs upnp (universal Plug and Play) to be enabled on the Time Capsule.
I am using the 2TB Time Capsule, iPhone 4 (iOS 5) and Samsung LED TV UE55D7090.
How can i activate/enable upnp on my Time Capsule?

I too was looking to enable "upnp" on my time capsule. It appears to me that there is no such option but there is a similar function through NAT-port mapping.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1552
"Some third-party Internet routers use a technology called UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), which is similar to NAT-PMP. Back to My Mac works with both NAT-PMP and UPnP."
The language above makes me believe Apple routers do not use UPnP.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

How to enable NAT on Time Capsule

Ultimate Objective: Enable the "Back to my Mac" feature. In order to do so, NAT has to be enabled on my Time Capsule whose current "Connection Sharing" is set to "Bridge Mode".
Here's the initial configuration
TC>Internet> Internet Connection
-Connect using: Ethernet
-Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)
TC>Internet>TCP/IP tab
-Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
-IP address: 192.16.1.33
-Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
-Router Address: 192.168.1.1
-DNS Server: 192.16.1.1
The TC is ethernet connected to a Zyxel modem/router.
Try #1
When changing "Connection Sharing" from
"Bridge Mode"
to
"Share a public address",
I receive a message indicating 2 problems:
"DHCP Beginning Address.192.168.1.2
DHCP Ending Address. 192.168.1.200
"The DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Airport Wireless device."
Try #2
I update the DHCP Beginning Address to 192.168.1.34 and click on "Update".
I get the same error message:"The DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Airport Wireless device."
Try #3
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in "Bridge Mode", the TC simply acts as a "slave" and gets all its DNS and DHCP information straight from the router. So I'm thinking I should change the configuration on the "Zyxel 1 port modem/router". The model/router DHCP setup is currently set to "Server". Other available DHCP options are:
-None
-Relay
When setting it to "Relay", I get an error message". I therefore set it to "None"
Back to the TC, I change "Connection Sharing" from
"Bridge Mode"
to
"Share a public address" once again, and receive the same error message as before: "The DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Airport Wireless device."
As you will noticed, I don't know what I'm doing here. If some of you can point me to a tutorial so I better understand what's going on, it's be great.
For those of you who managed to read this message up to this point, well thanks a lot for your patience. If you can point me in the right direction, it'll be even better.

Welcome to the discussions!
From your description, the Zyxel device is a "gateway". That is, it is combination modem and router in one enclosure, probably wired as one single device, not a separate modem and router.
If you add the Time Capsule to the mix, you now have two routers in series. Can't do that....you only want one device to provide DHCP and NAT services, not two.
Any other router(s) after the main router must be setup as "bridges" to allow the main router to control DHCP and NAT services. So, the correct setting for the Time Capsule in your network is "bridge mode".
I understand the "catch" here, and that is that the Time Capsule does not provide NAT service when it is setup in "bridge mode" because DHCP and NAT are turned off.
If you want to use Back to My Mac, you need to make the Time Capsule the "main router" handling DHCP and NAT. I do not know if you could configure the Xyzel device to function as a simple modem, but that's what you need. It sounds like you have tried the available options and based on that info, I would conclude that it cannot function as a simple modem only. If that's the case, then your only other option is to replace the Xyzel gateway with a simple modem.
Only then can the Time Capsule be configured to "Share a public IP address", which enables DHCP and NAT on the device.

Enabling time capsule wireless causes high latency.

We are currently running a basic setup of a cable modem connected to the time capsule. There are 3 computers connected to the time capsule via a wired connection. We have two iphones, a laptop and an apple tv device connected to the time capsule via wireless.
When the wireless is enabled on the time capsule, we experience a minimum of 600 ms ping on any device, running any application, regardless if the device is connected via wired or wireless. When I disable wireless completely via airport, the time capsule restarts. All 3 wired computers after this point are running at about 40-50ms ping.
I first thought maybe one of the wireless devices is downloading an update and causing latency so I left the wireless on for the night. About 12 hours later, no change, still a minimum of 600ms ping.
I changed the wireless password and reset the device. With no wireless clients, the issue still occurs.
I also updated to the most recent firmware (7.6.4)
I might also add that the time capsule is only 14 months old.

Do any of the clients that run from ethernet also have wireless enabled? Can you go around and make sure they are all set to ethernet only .. wireless off.
Test again with just one wired computer.. everything else off.
Do a full factory reset of the TC.. to clear out all the settings and start over.
Use all short names.. say 5-20 characters.. for TC .. for wireless which you will name differently for each band and for the hard disk share name.. ie do not use Apple names, long.. spaces and apostrophe.
Do the ping test again. Ensuring the client has no wireless turned on. If the ping is still bad turn off wireless in the TC to verify it..
Then I suggest you downgrade the TC to 7.6.1 firmware.. you cannot go back further than that.. do another factory reset.. no improvement then good chance the hardware is faulty..
If you have applecare on any product apple should still fix / replace the TC.. sometimes they are generous if a product is just a couple of months over warranty. Ring and ask or take it to apple store for testing.

How to setup apple time capsule with FIOSinternet and VZ router?)

Hello,
I have Apple time capsule and the VZ Router MI424WR. I current set up:
1. VZ router - wireless off, the rest is standard
2. Time capsule: Wireless on in Bridge mode
Result: Internet works but the wireless network is very in-stable. Airtunes is nearly not usable.
I searched in the Internet and there was several comments that is is not a good combination. Therefore it is recommended to convert the VZ router in a modem mode and use only the Time capsule as the router. I tried this several times I do not get it to work. I followed this procedure (http://data.agaric.com/node/2160) but then I need the PPPoE Account number and password. But there do I get this? The Verizon support was not really helpful.
Please, is there a good and complete description to solve that issue?
Thanks in advance
Moebius

Go back to your first setup ...
Verizon router with wireless turned off
Apple Time Casule with wireless turned on
Method 1:
With the Time Capsule in "Bridge Mode", if I remember correctly, you should connect the WAN port to one of the open ports on the Verizon router (I believe bridge mode also turns off the DHCP server on the Time Capsule, if not, find that and turn if off as well).   Change the addressing mode for the Time Capsule to "static" and assign it an address on the LAN which is not in use (choose something you know is out of the way but on the LAN -- I suggest 192.168.1.180 to start -- you can change it once you get everything working).
If it doesn't work this way for you, move the cable from the WAN port on the Time Capsule to Port 1 and try again.
Method 2:
This results in a router behind a router setup, but unless you have devices connected directly to the Verizon router, it shouldn't be a problem.
With the Time Capsule disconnected from the Verizon router, turn on "Connection Sharing" (not bridge mode) and make sure DHCP is enabled on the Time Capsule. You need to change the address range being used by the Time Capsule (which I think defaults to 192.168.1.x to another network -- I suggest, 192.168.2.x with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and give the router an address of 192.168.2.1 on the LAN side. Now, connection the WAN port to one of the Verizon router LAN ports. If you had anything connected to the Verizon LAN ports, move those over to the LAN ports on the Time Capsule and reboot them.
Method 3:
This is the least desirable of the scenarios because it relies on Verizon's crappy radio in their router (the Time Capsule has a much better radio and support 802.11n as well as b and g) whereas Verizon's only support b/g.    Go back to the configuration for Method 1, but also turn OFF wireless on the Time Capsule and turn on wireless on the Verizon router.   Try both bridge scenarios described -- using the WAN port first and if that didn't work, then moving the connection to port 1.
There is no scenario where you can place the Verizon router behind the Time Capsule -- since I believe Verizon is using all MoCA connections for the WAN side of their connection (you'd have to get Verizon to convert you to ethernet WAN and then they would not support you most likely for any STB issues with your FiOS if the Time Capsule was between the ONT and their router ... so don't even bother wasting time there ... more headaches than it would be worth.
If you're still not sure exactly what each configuration screen on the time capsule should say, post some screen snaps (or the configuration settings/choices which you are unsure about and someone will likely know the answer here).

HOW TO SET UP time capsule with time machine?

I have not been successful in setting up time capsule with the time machine,can someone give me steps to follow?

What part are you having problems with? You need to make sure File Sharing is enabled on the Time Capsule (which is done in AirPort Utility). Then you just connect to the Time Capsule either wirelessly or via ethernet cable and when you go to Time Machine setup your computer should recognize your Time Capsule as a valid storage for Time Machine backups.

Airport Utility can't find Time Capsule but wireless is fine

Hi
I have my Time Capsule connected via cable to my NetGear Modem/Router and have wireless enabled on the Time Capsule.
I never have any problems with the actual wireless connections to the internet via any of our Macs or PCs in the house, but on a fairly regular basis, the AirPort Utility comes up and tells me 'AirPort Utility was unable to find any apple wireless devices. Please make sure the Apple wireless device you want to set up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then click rescan to try again.'
Wireless access continues to work just fine when this happens, but I just can't get to the Time Capsule with the Airport Utility. Un-plugging and re-plugging the Time Capsule makes it appear in the Airport Utility again, and it's fine usually for a few hours or most of the day, but then quite often I will open Airport Utility again later in the day and it again will not be able to find the Time Capsule again.
I have tried firmware 7.3.1 and 7.3 but it didn't make any difference.
So I wonder if anyone might have any suggestions as to why Airport Utility would not be able to find the Time Capsule yet the same Mac from which I am trying is quite happily connected wirelessly and surfing the web.
Thanks in anticipation!
Ken

Wow it took me awhile to find this thread.
1047 views. I guess I'm not alone.
Every few days my macbook pro quits recognizing the Time Capsule even
though it works fine for wireless internet.
Airport Utility doesn't see it either. Shared disk access, gone.
I found I can get things working again over wireless if I plug the computer
into the time capsule with a cable. When I plug it in the time capsule instantly
appears on the list of available backup devices in time machine settings.
If I do a backup and then disconnect the cable backup continues to work for
awhile. Then I need to connect again.
Pretty silly bug.
When it works time machine and time capsule are great. We've used it to
recover data very easily.
Wish the connection wasn't so flakey though.

Backing up macbook pro to time capsule for first time via ethernet

I set up a new 2T Time Capsule / Airport, let it run overnight, only about half way backed up. I deleted first backup file, and want to do the backup via ethernet. How do I do this?

....and want to do the backup via ethernet. How do I do this?
This will depend on how you have the Time Capsule connected to your network.
If you have it connected from your modem or modem/router using an Ethernet cable at the present time, you are already set. Just connect another spare Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to your Mac....and be sure to turn off the wireless on the Mac before you start the backup.
Normally, about 25-30 GB of data will transfer per hour this way, so if your Mac has say, 60 GB of data loaded, the backup should take approximately 2-3 hours. Once the backup is complete, disconnect the Ethernet cable and turn the wireless back on at the Mac.
However, if you have the TIme Capsule configured to connect to your network using wireless only, then the Ethernet ports are not enabled on the Time Capsule in this type of setup. It is not possible to backup using an Ethernet connection unless you are willing to reconfigure the Time Capsule for the backup...and then reconfigure it again to get it back to its current setup.

Time Capsule via ADSL modem: settings

In italy there's not a cable ADSL, so we need an ADSL modem (adapter) in order to connect to the web. So now I've just purchased a new Time Capsule and I'm in order to set the connection. I would set the device this way:
1)Set bridge mode the modem to avoid it could generate NAT conflicts via DHCP(if I'm not wrong bridge mode excludes the DHCP function in the internal server of the modem)
2)Let time machine to manage the DHCP
Any hints?
Thanks

Hello kidclaude. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
1)Set bridge mode the modem to avoid it could generate NAT conflicts via DHCP(if I'm not wrong bridge mode excludes the DHCP function in the internal server of the modem)
That is correct, reconfiguring the modem as a bridge should disable both NAT & DHCP.
2)Let time machine to manage the DHCP
By default, both NAT & DHCP are enabled on the Time Capsule (TC).

Time Capsule light is blinking yellow

There appear to be two issues.
1. No DNS Server(s)
2. Double NAT
How do I correct these issues?
Thank you.

When I go to "Off (Bridge Mode)", it tells me that I cannot be in that mode if I want to maintain my guest network. Will that be an issue at the end of this process?
The type of "modem" that you have dictates that the Time Capsule must be configured in Bridge Mode to work correctly...to avoid the Double NAT error on the network. Unfortunately, the Guest Network feature cannot be enabled when the Time Capsule is in Bridge Mode. So, it's kind of a "Catch 22".
Apple assumes that you have a "simple" modem, but you don't. You have a gateway device, which is combination modem/router in one box.
2. After I power up the modem, does it matter the order in which I power up other devices -- IMac, Time Capsule, and Airport Express being the only ones other than the modem that are on the network?
The important thing is that after you power everything down, that you power up the modem first, then any device that is directly connected to the modem...like the Time Capsule. After that, the order is not critical.

Time Capsule visible to one computer but not another

I want to use Time Capsule for Time Machine backups of my MacBook Pro, running 10.5.2, and manual backups from my PowerBook, running 10.4.11. Everything is hunky dory for the MBP, but the PB cannot see the Time Capsule - meaning, the Time Capsule is not visible from the finder. I've tried looking for it using Go to Network, Disk Utility, and every other way I could think of. Both computers are on the same wireless network and can see each other. File Sharing is enabled on the Time Capsule. What am I missing?

I used the Airport Utility to enable file sharing for each of my 3 Macs before connecting them. I don't know if this is necessary but I didn't have any problem
Go to Airport Utility - Disks - File Sharing (click file sharing and enter credentials for each computer l, select read and write access)

Time Capsule as Wireless Ethernet Bridge

<noob>
So I picked up the Time Capsule to handle things with my MacBook. That means I now have a wireless N router (dLink DIR-655) kicking around. I want to try to use it to get wireless N to my Xbox in another room.
Sadly, the dLink router doesn't seem to be able to bridge, so I've used it as my primary router (connected to my modem).
How can I get my Time Capsule to hop on the existing wireless network, and then use the ethernet cable to connect the TC to my Xbox?
MODEM--(wired)-->DIR655--(wireless n)-->TC--(wired)-->Xbox
Note that I still need my PC (hard wired to the dLink router) and my MacBook (wireless to my dLink router) to see the TC for hard drive storage.
Bonus points if you can figure out having the one dLink network serve only the TC, and having the TC broadcast a new network for the MacBook and my iPhone, while still serving the Xbox on a wired connection.
</noob>

Welcome to the discussions!
I'm afraid we'll get no bonus points since products from different manufacturers are rarely compatible for bridging or extending a wireless network.
While the Time Capsule could be configured to "join" the wireless network of your D-Link router and backups would occur over your current wireless network, when it is setup this way, all routing functions become disabled. This means that the ethernet ports are not enabled and the Time Capsule does not provide any additional wireless coverage.
It's not possible to configure the the Time Capsule to "extend a wireless network" with your D-Link router since this function only works if you have another Apple "n" device setup as the main router on your network. (When the Time Capsule is configured to "extend", it provides additional wireless coverage and the ethernet ports are enabled.)
If you want the Time Capsule's ethernet ports to be enabled and you want it to create a wireless network for more coverage, you'll need to connect the Time Capsule to your D-Link router using an ethernet cable. Or, if this is not possible, you might consider a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by utilizing the AC wiring in your home.

Time Capsule remote access fails - Device not listed

I've been able to access my 4th generation time capsule hard disk remotely, but my router settings keep getting reset and I need help with my configuration.
Apparently, the router (xDSL Motorola 7647-47-20SC) is dropping my IP Passthrough settings for the time capsule even though it initially accepted them and remote access was verified. Although I've added the time capsule as a new device using its MAC address, after a few minutes the device is no longer listed and my port forwarding and IP Passthrough settings are lost.
Here's my setup:
xDSL modem configured in DHCP mode. The DNS server is configured to be retrieved automatically. The Time Capsule is directly connected to the router via an ethernet cable and has been added as a device using its MAC Address with the router configured to forward both TCP and UDP port 548 to the device. IP Passthrough has also been enabled for the Time Capsule.
Using AirPort Utility the Time Capsule has been set to bridge mode with Back to My Mac enabled. I tried to configure it in NAT and DHCP mode to enable disk sharing over WAN, but either lost my internet connection or got an error message that my internal DHCP addresses conflicted with the router's (even though they didn't).
I have a domain host name via dyndns.org which is updated with my public IP address.
The first time I set up the router and time capsule and entered the "Connect to Server" address afp://xxxx.dyndns.org:548 a pop-up window asked for my user name and password, after which I was able to see the hard disk remotely. But when I tried again this morning there was no connection to the server. So I checked my router settings again when I got home, and the Time Capsule device was no longer listed! I can access the disk in Finder within my home LAN, so it must be identified somewhere, but my original IP Passthrough and port forwarding settings are no longer available since the time capsule has been dropped from the list of available devices.
Can anyone tell me how to restore this configuration and make it stick? Thanks for your help!

Well, I just perused the Swisscom forums and apparently a firmware update initiated remotely a few weeks ago is causing problems with IP Passthrough functionality on the router. Nothing we can do until a bug fix becomes available from out internet provider.

Manage Time Capsule via Server App

Hi,
I used to be able to manage my Time Capsule via the Server app, but now all I get is "Incorrect Password"
I know for a fact that the password is correct. How do I fix this?

Setting up time capsule on a secure subnet of an airport extreme

I've currently got an airport extreme and a time capsule. I'd like to set up the time capsule on a secure subnet of the airport extreme. e.g.:
Modem -> Airport Extreme (WPA 2 enabled) -via ethernet> Time Capsule (separate subnet invisible to Airport Extreme users)
I have a group of housemates that need to access the network over the airport extreme, but I don't want to open up my backups on the Time Capsule to network attack.
Any reccomendations would be welcome.

Welcome to the discussions, arbee!
1) Connecting to the Time Capsule for setup. MUST I use Airport Utility or is there another method?
AirPort Utility is the only application available to configure the Time Capsule
2) Does the Time Capsule router (Airport Extreme, I assume) support PPPoE?
During setup, you specify how you would like the device to connect, Ethernet or PPPoE
3) I assume I can continue to let both machines connect using DHCP.
Yes
4) Do I need to specifically assign addresses to the wireless network or will the Time Capsule router do that automatically?
The Time Capsule will automatically assign each wired or wireless device a network IP address

Time Capsule & Airport Express Network Security

I am using my Time Capsule to set up my home wireless network and have extended the network using an Airport Express. Does WPA have to be set on both units (as I have done) or just the Time Capsule for the network to be secure? Since setting up WPA my iPod Touch has had more difficulty connecting and network range seems to have shrunk!

Yes since the AirPort Express (AX) is extending the network it must have the same wireless encryption enabled as the Time Capsule.
