Help with opening ports on the Time Capsule

Ok, let me try to describe the situation I'm in. I use a local internet company and I have 2 computers hooked up to my TC, one being a mac and the other a PC. I use the mac for office stuff and my PC is for gaming. I just bought Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and it won't allow me to connect, but I when I try connecting using a Sprint Smartview internet chip, it works but goes slow. So I know it has to do with the TC, now my Mac uses the Ip 10.0.1.201 and my PC is 10.0.1.4, I've tried opening up the ports with the port mapping tool in Airport Utilities but didn't have any luck. I don't want to ruin anything by wandering into things I don't understand ...
The ports needed are on this website

Thanks in advance, I've been trying to figure this out for the last like 6 hours!

Will the USB port from the Time Capsule power an external hard drive?

I am interested in purchasing an external hard drive (Iomega 1TB Helium Portable or G-Technology 750GB G-DRIVE mobile)
to connect to my time capsule, expanding my wireless storage, but I want to know if the Time Capsule has a powered USB port or does the drive I purchase need to have its own power source? Also, Is there any compromise to using a drive that is USB powered, vs one that requires a power source?
Thanks!

Even if the hard drive that you choose has its own power supply, you usually need to use a powered USB hub with the Time Capsule.
Reason....the USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered. You should not really rely on this port to power anything except a single printer.

Need help with opening ports on airport extreme

My vonage phone is connected to airport extreme router, voice quality of phone calls was poor. Vonage tech support says vonage port on my airport extreme was closed and i need to open it.
Here is my chat details with vonage tech support-
The following ports are needed for Internet communication between the Vonage adapters and the Vonage servers.
SIP: Port 5061 UDP
RTP (Voice) Traffic: Ports 10000-20000 UDP. When a call is made, a random port between 10000 and 20000 is used for RTP (Voice) traffic. If any of these ports are blocked, you may experience one way or no audio.
Please do suggest me the way to open the ports on airport extreme
Thanks

How to unblock UDP ports from the firewall of the Time Capsule

Hello i just bought a time capsule and i am trying am using it as a router. I am trying to use Shakespeer
that is like a server where you share files within the University,it runs with Dtella. However, when y try to get online a message tells me that the firewall of the router is blocking the UDP ports needed....how do i unblock those UDP ports so i can get online?
Here is the message:
In order for Dtella to communicate properly, it needs to receive UDP traffic
[19:14] <*Dtella> from the Internet. Dtella is currently listening on UDP port 4000, but the
[19:14] <*Dtella> packets appear to be getting blocked, most likely by a firewall or a router. If
[19:14] <*Dtella> this is the case, then you will have to configure your firewall or router to
[19:14] <*Dtella> allow UDP traffic through on this port. You may tell Dtella to use a different
[19:14] <*Dtella> port from now on by typing !UDP followed by a number.

Hello albertoPeralta. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
To open ports on the Time Capsule, you would use the AirPort Utility to configure Port Mapping.
AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Shakespeer host device.
Internet > DHCP tab
o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
o Reserve address by: MAC Address
o Click Continue.
o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
o Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
Advanced > Port Mapping tab
o Click the "+" (Add) button
o Public UDP Port(s): 4000
o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
o Private UDP Port(s): 4000
o Click "Continue"

How to use the time capsule with my existing router?

Here is my situation. I have Alltel PCD UM185 USB modem for their mobile broadband internet. I have a Cradlepoint MBR1000 router which I plug the usb modem into to share the internet through a wireless network which has WPA security on it. I want to use my 1TB time capsule to backup the computers in my house wirelessly and not as a router. What connection do I need to make and how to do I setup the time capsule this way? I can't figure it out. Thanks for any help in advance. If you need more information just ask.
Thanks,
John

Steven's solution will work just fine if you want to connect the Time Capsule using ethernet.
You might also consider configuring the the Time Capsule to "Join" the wireless network. In this type of configuration, backups would occur only over wireless and you could locate the Time Capsule virtually anywhere it can receive a good, strong wireless connection. Important Note...the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are not enabled in this type of configuration, so you will not be able to connect using ethernet.
Open AirPort Utility and click Continue
Then select the option to "Join a wireless network" and follow the prompts

How can I add the Time Capsule to my Netgear Nighthawk R7000's Network?

I Want to connect my Time Capsule To My Nighthawk and still have access to the rest of my networt. How do I do it?

Thanks for confirming that for me.
If the Time Capsule has not ever been set up, then it is still in its factory default settings and you can proceed with the setup.
Connect the Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> ports on your Netgear router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
Power up the Time Capsule for a minute or two. The light will be slowly blinking amber at this time.
Click the WiFi icon on the menu bar at the top of the Mac's screen
Look for a setting of New AirPort Base Station
Click on Time Capsule just below that
The example below shows an AirPort Extreme. You will see Time Capsule on your screen.
The setup utility will open up and take 15-20 seconds to analyze the network, then a screen similar to this will appear, except you will see a Time Capsule icon:
Network Name........Type in the name of the network that you want to use. If you want the Time Capsule to "extend" the Netgear network, type in same wireless network name that the Netgear router is using.
Base Station Name......Type is a simple name for the Time Capsule. Mine is TC, for example.
Password........Type in the password that you want to use for the network. If you use the same wireless network name as the Netgear, then you would type in the wireless password for the Netgear network here
Verify the password that you entered
Click Next......and the utility will set up everything for you. When you see the message of setup complete, click Done.
That's it.

Access to the time capsule harddrive through internet.

Hi everyone,
I bought a few months ago a Time capsule and it is working perfeclty as a network and hard drive under. It is connected to the router unde a bridge mode.
My prooblem is coming when I want to access through internet with my Macbook to my time capsule as it is not possible but according the time capsule specification it is possible to have acces to the harddrive through internet. So it means I have to change soemthing in the setp up on the router (P-2812HNU-F1) or in the time capsule.
Can anyone help me to set up the time capsule and the router accordingly to be able to have acces to the harddrivethrough internet?
Thanks

Have you tried using BTMM and iCloud method?
That is the only method Apple provisioned on the TC and apple network.
http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
If you are having issues you need to tell us more..
Sometimes it seems the TC in bridge will not work.. if that is the case, then you must see if you can rearrange your network so the TC is the main router.
Or you need to use a manual access method.
This requires using a static public IP (Check with your ISP.. this is by far the best method) or use a dyndns service.. and port forward 548 TCP to the TC.. there are thousands of posts and youtube videos with the info. Just look up "remote access time capsule"
This is a good post to start with.

Help with AT&T DSL and Time Machine

I recently moved and had to switch internet providers to AT&T DSL and am having trouble getting the modem to work with my Time Machine. I have searched through previous discussions and have noted others having the same problems, but none of the suggested solutions have worked for me.
I have a Westell modem. AT&T suggests that to hook up a third-party router/device, you need to configure the modem so that "PPP is on the computer, gateway, router". Then you have to hook up your device and configure it accordingly. I have done as AT&T suggests, but when I try to configure my Time Machine I get a message that I have no internet connection.
My Time Machine is already configured to be a bridge device as I previously had internet service through the cable company where I used to live. Shouldn't this just plug and play with that configuration (as was the case when I had internet through the cable company)?
Can anybody walk me through, step-by-step, how to configure this properly?

Suggest that you perform a Factory Default Reset to clear out old and likely conflicting settings and start over with the configuration.
If you can connect using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup, click the Base Station menu at the uppermost top of the computer screen in the same menu bar as the Apple icon. Select Restore Default Settings
Temporarily, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule. Check again to be sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is plugged into the WAN port (world icon)
Open AirPort Utility - Click Continue to follow the guided setup to "Create a wireless network". Choose the Connect Using PPPoE option when that option appears. You will need to re-enter the PPPoE connection info as you did before....Account Name, Password, etc.
Continue to follow the prompts. Restart the modem again after you have completed the setup on the Time Capsule
I have double checked the setup here using the same configuration that you have and everything works fine.
You can disconnect the Ethernet cable from the computer to the TC once you have things working although it would be an excellent idea to use this same connection for your first Time Machine backup as it will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.

Can I use the Time Capsule strictly for system backup and continue to use my Airport Extreme for all my wireless needs

I want to use the Apple Time Capsule as an external drive and continue to use my Airport Extreme for all my wireless needs. Can I do that? The reason I ask is that my Time Machine utility cannot find the TIme Capsule - it only shows me the Airport Extreme, even when I "Rescan". SO I am unable to use the Time Capsule.

You will need to connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
Perform a "hard reset" on the Time Capsule by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds, then give it another minute to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule, and click Manual Setup
Click the Time Capsule tab located below the row of icons to assign a name to the Time Capsule, a device password, and adjust Time Zone settings.
Next, click the Wireless tab located to the right of the Time Capsule tab
Change the setting for Wireless Mode to Off
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update at the lower right to save the settings and allow 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
You are all set

Could I use a USB hub to connection both a printer and an external hard drive to the time capsule?

I am planning on purchasing a new router. The Time Capsule looks amazing. However, I have Macs and PC's in my how. So, I need to know if I can connect a printer (for all computers) and external hard drive (for the PC's) by way of a USB hub on the Time Capsule. I've read that you can do this with the Air-Extreme.

Couple of comments:
You will need to use a powered USB hub to connect multiple devices to the USB port on the Time Capsule
The hard drive for use with the PCs will not be compatible for use with the Time Capsule if it is currently formatted for Windows NTFS, which it likely may be if you have been using with the PCs.
Same info applies to the AirPort Extreme.
The following hard drive formats would be supported:
Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
MS DOS FAT32

Trying to hook up my time capsule. Plugged in the eithnet from the extreme over to the time capsule--then plugged in the time capsule--still in amber blinking light--went back to extreme and works fine--reset the cable modem in between but that did not f

Hoping someone can help with setting up my new time capsule. I am just switching from my extreme to the time capsule. I can not get the time capsule to go anywhere but to amber blinkiing. I can go back to the extreme and interenet works fine.
Here is what I did:
plugged in the ethernet cable from the cable modem
plugged in the time capsule power
Just cycles to amber blinking -- no internet connection
Tried pulling up the airport utility but it just shows my old extreme configuration and says that it is not supported anymore. Do not see how to display info on the flashing light.
I have gone back to the extreme three times and it seems to work fine.
I also repowered the modem in between trying to get the time capsule to work

Is this a cable modem? It has to be off for at least 20min and sometimes much longer before it will give up the old settings. You might even need to power down the cable modem overnight.
Tell us exactly what broadband you have with what ISP and exact model of modem..
The new TC cannot be setup without using the latest airport utility 6.3.1 or 6.3.2 and you need Lion - Mavericks to use it.
The computer also needs to have ipv6 setup to local link on whatever you are connecting with, wireless or ethernet.

How to install a samsung clp 310 driver in the time capsule

how to install a samsung clp 310 driver in the time capsule ?

You do not install the printer driver on the Time Capsule, you install it on your Mac.
Check with Samsung Support for details on how to download and install the driver to your Mac.
Then use System Preferences > Print & Scan to see if your printer is compatbile. Not all printers are compatible with the USB port on the Time Capsule, so if your printer does not appear, it ls likely not compatible for this purpose.

Can the hard drive from the Time Capsule be used as USB drive only?

My Time Capsule "router" kept losing the wireless capabilty, so I purchased an Airport Express (with the dual-band router).
I'd like to salvage the Time Capsule hard-drive portion and connect it to a USB port.
But when I plug-in the Time Capsule, the light blinks yellow suggesting some configuration problem.
When connecting to a USB port, my iMac will not detect a new device.
Can the Time Capsule hard-drive be used separately from the router?

Can the hard drive from the Time Capsule be used as a USB drive only?
Sorry, but no. The Time Capsule is a network drive, so it must be connected to a network using an Ethernet or wireless connection. The USB port on the Time Capsule is there only to add additional storage capacity.
Can the Time Capsule hard-drive be used separately from the router
Yes, you would configure the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode to do this. If you do not need the wireless capability, you can turn the wireless off on the Time Capsule.

I connected a external hard drive to the Time capsule but I can't get it to connect, I connected a external hard drive to the Time capsule but I can't get it to connect

I connected an external hard drive to the Time Capsule but can't get it to work.

And are you using a powered USB hub? The USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered, so you almost always need to use a powered USB hub, even if the hard drive has its own power supply.
