Help with Time Capsule with a new modem

Hi,
I did a search and couldn't find what I'm looking for.  What is the  easiest way to setup my Time capsule with a new modem?  I will be using  wifi with the time capsule.  I just got a new modem and the time capsule  keeps flashing a amber light.  It was working off wifi before I got the  new modem.
Thanks, Jerry

There is only one right value for wireless now. Which I did list in the instructions.
WPA2-PSK (AES) for the arris.
WPA2-Personal for the TC.
Did you reboot everything when you disconnected the ethernet.. so the computer and TC can reallocate the IP addresses. This is important.
Reboot everything when you rearrange networks.. always do it.. even I am forced to do it.
Reboot in this order.. from off.. everything off.
Modem.. wait 2min
TC.. wait 2min
Computer.. this will now pick up a new IP from the whichever wireless is stronger.. should not make any difference if it is the TC or the Arris.
Now see if the TC is available in airport utility.
If it fails .. reconnect it by ethernet to the computer.
Give it a different wireless name .. ie the Arris and the TC will have different names.
And you are using "create a wireless network" in the TC.. no other option will work.
Update the TC so the setup is saved.
Unplug the TC from the computer and plug it into the Arris..
Now reboot everything.. sorry.. but it is the easiest way to clear up old settings and get everything going again.
Now in the computer you will need to open the airport and find the TC wireless.. and then you connect to it.
Once you connect direct to the TC you should have no trouble.
You can setup and fix any issues.. there are always a few silly things.. password default or wan setup .. choose ignore or change settings.

    Bridge the TC.. plug it into the AEBS with ethernet.

  • I have connected a new time capsule to a dsl modem.  It doesnt see the internet. Airport utility says: Disconnected. But it isnt. Internet tab shows PPPoE. Must I enter Account Name or Password? If so, where do I find them? If not, what do I do?

    I have connected a new Time Capsule to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable . The modem is working fine and connected fine. But the Time Capsule doesnt seem to be talking to the modem.  If I click the internet Icon in Airport Utility  it shows Disconnected.If I click the Time Capsule icon and go to the internet tab it shows  Connect using PPPoE. Is that what it should be? In the box below there is place for an account name and password. DO I need to filll these out and if so what do I put there--information about the Time Capsule of informationabout the Modem? And where do I find the information.
    Or am I completely on the wrong track.

    Thanks. The modem is a Speedtouch ST585  v6. How do I know whether it is in adsl bridge?  Also this is a modem-***-router. Does that make a difference?
    If you did not put it in bridge then it is not in bridge..
    Connect a computer directly to the modem.. open the browser to either 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138 (if neither of those work you will have to check the IP address your ISP has set).
    BTW who is your ISP and do they allow PPPoE.. for instance most ISP in UK do not use pppoe so you have no choice but to run the 585 as a router. In which case bridge the TC
    Anyway.. open the setup configuration in the Thomson and select a template that says bridge.. run through the wizard and it will then bridge the modem.
    And I am using Airport Utility 6.0. How do I get the earlier version?
    By reading the site link I just gave you.. downloading the utility and running it on your computer. Or simply google to 5.6 lion airport utility... that is the way I find things when I don't have the link memorised.
    Finally, AIrport Utility shows a number in a red dot next to the time capsule icon, currently 2. What is that for? What does it tell us?
    Firstly download the useful utility.. but the dots tell you something is wrong and preventing the TC from working.. if you open the utility it should tell you what the errors mean.. I cannot tell you what they are, but it is likely to be no internet connection and pppoe has failed.

  • Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium

    +Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium< A few questions here.
    st question? Im using opt out port on the xfi ti. card and using digital li've on a windows 7 64 bit system,? I would like to know why when i use 5. or 7. and i check to make sure each speakear is working the rear speakers wont sound off but the sr and sl will in replace of the rear speakers. I did a test tone on my sony amp and the speaker are wired correctly becasue the rear speakers and the surrond? left and right sound off when they suppose too. Also when i try to click on? the sl and sr in the sound blaster control panel they dont work but if i click on the rear speakers in the control panel the sl and sr sound off. Do anyone know how i can fix this? So i would like to know why my sl and sr act like rears when they are not?
    2nd question? How do i control the volume from my keyboard or from windows period when using opt out i was able to do so with my on board? sound max audio using spidf? Now i can only control the audio using the sony receiver.
    Thank you for any help..

    I'm unsure about the first question. Do you even have a 7. system and receiver? If you just have 5., you should be able to remap the audio in the THX console.
    I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
    I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
    I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
    For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.

  • Time Capsule + Mountain Lion + Cable Modem = Unhappy

    Greetings,
    I have a frustrating networking issue that I *think* is related to Mountain Lion, but I'm not sure.  Here is the situation.
    I have a cable modem connected to my Time Capsule.  It has been connected for more than 1 year with the same configuration and cables, and worked just fine.  I use the Time Capsule to connect my MacBook Air, iMac, a couple of iPhones/iPads, and several other wireless and wired network devices to the internet.
    This week, I installed the Mountain Lion upgrade on my two macs.  I was able to download and install the update on both computers, but immediately after that, my Time Capsule and my Cable Modem will not connect to each other.
    When I plug my MacBook Air directly into the Cable Modem it works fine.
    When I plug the Time Capsule into the modem, it initially lets me connect to the internet for anywhere from few seconds to a minute or two, then I lose the internet.
    Troubleshooting steps I've taken:
    Power cycled the cable modem multiple times.
    Power cycled the Time Capsule multiple times.
    Reset Time Capsule to factory defaults and set it up from scratch as a new Time Capsule
    Replaced ethernet cable between the two.
    Tried OpenDNS servers instead of my cable provider DNS servers
    Tried requesting new DHCP lease on Time Capsule, and it doesn't appear that anything changes.
    Disconnected all other devices from the network, just the Time Capsule and the MacBook are connected
    I've talked with my cable modem support.  They say everything with the cable modem is fine, it is the Time Capsule that is bad.
    I've talked with Apple, and they say the Time Capsule is fine it is the cable modem that is bad.
    Neither have been able to fix it!
    I'm not 100% sure this is realated to the Mountain Lion upgrade.  Prior to the upgrade, I had noted my internet connection speeds had been erratic over the last couple of weeks.  I can't remember for sure, but think the Time Capsule did get a firmware upgrade a week or two ago.  I can't remember if that was when it started to act up or not.
    Any Time Capsule/Network gurus out there who can help?  Have other Mountain Lion updaters had similar problems?

    Update: I think I've pinpointed this problem to the Time Capsule.  I've replaced the Time Capsule with my Airport Express, and everything works flawlessly.  So:
    Cable Modem -> MacBook Air (via ethernet cable) = Works fine
    Cable Modem -> Airport Express -> MacBook Air = Works fine
    Cable Modem -> Time Capsule -> MacBook Air = Doesn't work
    I've reset the Time Capsule to factory defaults (holding down reset button while plugging in power) = no change
    When I first plug the Time Capsule into the Cable Modem, I can get internet for few seconds.  But eventually the "Internet" status light in Airport Utility goes yellow and I can't access the internet at all.
    It would be interesting to try a different cable modem with the Time Capsule but I don't have one.
    Time to call Apple again I think.

  • How do I connet my time capsule to a new network

    Hey,
    I have a Time Capsule, which is set up to my old wifi. Now I have moved, and my Macbook works with the new wifi, but I can't connet my Time Capsule, my computer can't even find it. How do I setup my time capsule to the new wifi?
    Please help me.....

    The best way is to plug the TC by ethernet to main router in the new place. Reset it to factory.. see instructions and then it will appear in your airport utility.
    You cannot connect to two different wifi signals at the same time.. if you "join the wireless" the TC will perform poorly.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • TS4611 Guys if you have these build: 12E3200 and your wifi is dropping, is not the your mid 2013 macbook air, is your router, I solve it by setting up my time capsule as a new network problem solved

    Here is what I have been doing:
    I got my new macbook air 11" two weeks ago, and have been haven problems with wifi connection dropping, I'm using verizon fioz at home, and their router
    I also have a time capsule not set up as a network just join it to my current one.
    After looking online all these days, I though, maybe is the verizon device that is updated..
    I then reset the time capsule, created a new network
    connected my system to the time capsule network, and there it is
    DONE, everything works now.
    So if you are haven the same problem,, that is the fix
    hope that helps.
    Oh  before I did these I try everything, the wifi update from apple don't work it keeps dropping it
    I try everything, so don't and delete the system as some people have done, I read somewhere.
    try my fix hopes that works.

    I have seen lots of issues on Yosemite with Wifi (and have been having issues myself), but yours seem different. It is a pretty new computer, have you tried taking it in under Applecare (if you live somewhere this is convenient)? Maybe you just got a defective wifi card.  I won't defend Apple over this wifi mess, because it really is terrible, but your issue seems not the same as the ones I've read about while researching how to fix mine (unsucessfully....).

  • How do i move a backup from one time capsule to a new one?

    I recently purchased a 2TB Airport Time Capsule (tall style) to replace my 1TB Airport Time Capsule (flat style). I have a macbook air (that doesn't have ethernet) and am struggling to find a way to move the data from my old time capsule to my new one. I attempted to follow the instructions here How to migrate Time Machine backups from one AirPort Time Capsule to another but am not having success because of the lack of an ethernet port on my macbook air.  I find it hard to believe that Apple has not developed a better migration path for customers who have purchased new time capsules. Most of the guidance and recommendations i find state that you should "just start over" with new backups.  I find that advice to be counter to the purpose of solutions like time capsules.  Why would a customer buy backup systems just to throw away their data when they upgrade?  Help! I'm hoping there is a better way that I just haven't found.

    I have not tried this, but you might want to take a look at an Apple USB to Ethernet adapter. That should give you the Ethernet to Ethernet connection that you need.

  • Transferring Time Capsule Data from an old Time Capsule to a new one?

    How do I transfer the data from my old 500GB time capsule to my new 2TB time capsule.  I just installed Lion as well.  I have the time capsules connected with the Ethernet cable.  I can see both of them in the finder.  When I open the Disk Utility I can only see the old time capsule so it is not possible to drag the new time capsule to the destination field in the restore tab.  Please help.  I would like to have my existing time machine backup on my new Time Capsule.
    Thank you in advance.
    FYI Time Machine 101 is not any help.

  • ITunes Time Capsule restore to new Mac (Odd setup)

    Previously I had an iMac with its iTunes library loaded on an external hard drive connected via USB. I also had a Time Capsule that was backing the iMac up including the external iTunes hard drive.
    Well I finally upgraded to a new MacBook Pro. About two days later, the iTunes external hard drive died. So now I'm trying to figure out how can I restore my iTunes library from the Time Capsule to a new external hard drive. I tried the Migration Assistant and selected the Time Capsule option but no luck.
    So how can I get that TC iTunes library from an old iMac on an external drive no longer available to a new Mac with a new external drive?
    I was thinking I could try to hookup the new external drive to the old Mac and try the Time Machine.  Thoughts?  Please help!!

    Time Capsule forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/time_capsule.  Also, when you re-post in there it would be helpful to say what you mean by "trouble" and also let them know which iMac you are using and which version of OS X.  You have iOS 5.0.1 listed, but that is not the operating system on your iMac, iOS is for iPads, iPods i.e. iDevices.  Good luck.

  • Using time Capsule to replace new hard drive on MacBook Pro?

    I am replacing the internal hard drive on my MacBook pro (early 2008).  I have a time capsule that I would like to use to restore the entire back-up on the time capsule to the new hard drive.  What is the procedure to do this?  Thanks.

    First, prep the new drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
    Second, install Snow Leopard on the new drive.
    Third, after Snow Leopard starts for the first time you will be in the Setup Assistant. When you complete the registration you will be presented with the options for continuing or restoring from a TM backup or another Mac. Select the TM option and restore your data.

  • How to restore data from my Time Capsule onto my new hard drive

    My Macbook's hard drive had to be changed, and I'm trying to restore files from my Time Capsule onto my new hard drive, but all I see are three sparsebundle files (one for each Mac we have at home, including my computer/old hard drive). From that point I don't know what else to do. If I click on it, it opens a dialogue that says "opening volumes" and it stays on that for a while.
    Does anyone know how to restore data backed up in my Time Machine from previous backups onto a new hard drive? Does it have to do with these sparsebundle files? Or, is there another way?

    Hello Alexevich. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

  • I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet.  I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule.  I get duplicate IPs error messages sometimes. How do I fix?

    I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet.  I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule.  I get duplicate IPs error messages (no connection) sometimes when trying to connect devices to the wireless network. How do I fix? Sometimes devices cannot connect to the network because of conflicting IPs.  I look on the Motorola and every device has a unique IP assigned but occasionally a device has taken the IP of another device.  I have been writing down all the devices and the IPs they have been using.  It happens more with PCs than Macs, ipads or iPhones.

    If the Time Capsule is set up correctly in bridge mode, then it is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router to provide the correct IP address assignments for all devices on the network.
    Check to insure that the Time Capsule is correctly set up to operate in bridge mode as follows:
    On your Mac, open AirPort Utility
    Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Insure that the setting for Router Mode is configured to read "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Once you have confirmed that the Time Capsule is configured correctly, everything else is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router as far as network routing and IP address assignments for devices.
    If you continue to have IP address issues, then you should contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that provided the Motorola device to you and ask them to fix the issue.

  • Pls help my time capsule (4th gen) lost it files..I think it have a virus pls help me to fix it tnx..

    Pls help my time capsule (4th gen) lost it files..I think it have a virus pls help me to fix it tnx..

    1. Ethernet .. are you using ethernet?
    2. Change the name of the TC to short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    3. In the file sharing page change the workgroup to WORKGROUP.
    4. In the same area, change the guest access to on read and write.
    5. If you setup homegroup on the PC get rid of it.. TC is not compatible with homegroup.
    6. Turn off ipv6 in the network settings for ethernet. (since you are going to be using ethernet).
    From Mac version utility it looks like this.
    Go to the admin tools and ensure that bonjour for windows is on.
    Manually type the IP directly into windows explorer.. do not open via MyComputer.
    \\10.0.1.1
    Because the error message is important.

  • I want to replace a four year old Time Capsule for a new Airport Extreme, how difficult is it?

    I want to replace a four year old Time Capsule for a new Airport Extreme, how difficult is it? The ADSL connection come from a Modern Router provide by the local Telephone company.

    Reply back when you get the new device, but in short, you'll have to put your extreme in bridge mode and just connect the same wires as your current TC.
