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.

  • How can I access the time capsule hard drive via ethernet?

    I recently bought a new laptop, as my old one was sadly stolen. I'm trying to connect to my backed up time capsule hard drive via ethernet to retrieve my files, but it doesn't seem to work. Oddly enough I have no issues over wifi. When I switch from wifi to ethernet, it gives me an error message stating that the disk was not found in the network. I have a MacBook Air with an ethernet adapter if that makes any difference. I'm also running the latest OS X and firmware. Wifi is simply too slow for this restoration process, so any suggestions?
    Could I possibly connect via USB? What kind of cable would that require? Is the ethernet issue a problem with my settings?
    Help greatly appreciated

    In the Network panel of System Preferences do you have an Ethernet connection item on the left? If not, authenticate if necessary by clicking on the lock, then click the plus sign at the bottom of that column and add an Ethernet item.
    When I switch from wifi to ethernet, it gives me an error message stating that the disk was not found in the network.
    How are you doing that switching? When you switch to Ethernet do you have connectivity to the Internet? If not, do you see a tiny green light on the Time Capsule next to the Ethernet socket you're using?
    Could I possibly connect via USB?
    No.

  • How can I search the time capsule using spotlight or time machine?

    Every time I try to use spotlight in finder, to find anything on the time capsule, spotlight automatically turns to the mac.
    While using timemachine the connection to the time machine greys out.
    How can I use these options, or different options to search the time capsule?

    I've been looking for the star wars gui, but I only ended up watching scifi movies all night.
    LOL..
    Oh well it is new year.. seems as good a use of time as any.
    Click on the time machine icon in the dock.. that opens finder inside the backup.

  • HT1178 How can I access the Time Capsule HD from my PC?

    Hi,
    I bought the Time Capsule because I thought it was a easy way of creating a small home network with a shared HD and printer. The wireless setup was easy but everything else doesn't seem that straight forward. I soon found out that I could not just plug my USB printer. You actually need a WPS printer which was not clear in the product description. Anyhow, just need a new printer.
    The main issue for me is being able to share files between my devices (Apple and non-Apple) as well as share the HD. I cannot find a way of configuring my PC or TC so that I can access the TC HD from my PC. Has anyone been able to configure that?
    Thanks

    You can plug a printer in via USB.. but not all printers work.. nor does airprint . but that has nothing to do with the Apple router.. that is how apple designed iOS.
    What printer do you have?
    Getting USB printer working can be tricky because by its nature you are networking a printer designed for local connection.. not networking.
    To share printers and file sharing load the airport utility for windows into the windows computer.. that includes bonjour for windows which is helpful for sharing of apple network devices.. and there is a disk agent.
    That might get you in without anything else.
    No luck remember windows does not work well with the names apple uses by default.. make sure all names on the TC conform with windows networking.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    In windows explorer address bar type
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (where clearly you replace the TCname with actual name or the TCIPaddress with the actual IP address).
    If that still fails... then you have firewall issues.. turn off all firewalls in the PC .. there can be several running.
    And make sure the PC is set to home as location . .not office or public.

  • How can I make the Time Capsule Icon stay on my desktop?

    I just replaced my old Airport Extreme and aging external drive with a new Airport TC.  The upgrade coulen't have been easier. Here's my question.  I occasionally want to access the TC as in external drive so I would like the TC icon to appear on my desktop all the time rather than appearing only when the Time machine is running.  Is there a way to do this?  I'm running all the latest software / firmware. Thanks and I know there have been some similar threads but they were pretty old.

    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Users & Groups
    Click the Login Items tab (next to the Password tab)
    Click the + buttton at the bottom of the list
    Use the Finder interface to locatet the Time Capsule drive and open it on the desktop
    Click Add
    Now the Time Capsule drive....named "Data", unless you have renamed it, will mounta and appear on the desktop when your Mac starts up.

  • How can i get the time capsule to use my mac's mac address

    on some wireless routers you can get the router to use the mac address of a client connected to it instead of it's own.
    Can i do that on the time capsule?

    Sorry, but no. You cannot change (spoof) the MAC address on any of the AirPort/Time Capsule routers.

  • How can I use the Time Capsule in only 802.11b/g?

    I think I am getting interferences on my 5GHz phone from the time capsule, which I have running in 802.11n mode with b/g compatitibility. I assume if the Time Capsule was running in 802.11b/g mode I would not get the intereferences?
    The Airport utility does not seem to have a setting to use the Time Capsule in 802.11b/g only. Is there a way to accomplish this?

    Not necessarily. In the US 802.11n channels appear to go up to at least 5.805 GHz, if I interpret this chart
    http://www.networkdictionary.com/Wireless/Wi-Fi-Wireless-LAN-Frequency.php
    correctly.
    It would seem that the best way to avoid interference with 5.8 GHz cordless phones is to avoid channels above 153.

  • Can I use the Time Capsule as a backup drive and wired network switch? I do not want to use the wireless part as I already have an ADSL 2  Wireless Router for that. Thanks.

    Hi
    I just went from PC to MAC. Have a MAC Mini and wanted to get a time capsule for backups. I would like to use it as a wired device instead of wireless. Would me connecting it to my router do the trick? Can I then use the LAN ports in the back of the capsule like I would a network switch? Can I just disable the wireless router part of the capsule as I already have an ADSL2+ Wireless Router.
    Thanks

    I wanted to run a cable upstairs from the switch downstairs so the Time capsule becomes my upstairs switch (as I only have Wireless upstairs at the moment. That will work right?
    Cheers.
    Yes, that is also fine.. ethernet being the cable you run.. !!
    You still don't have to use a TC.. which is still a rather expensive box for the job.. an Airport Extreme would offer the same exactly minus hard disk for cheaper price and more than likely better lifespan.. TC with internal power supply run too hot.

  • How can I add a Time Capsule 3TB to a network with an older Time Capsule 2TB?

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro with 500 GB HD and a 2013 Macbook Pro with 1TB HD. I am using Mavericks and will migrate to OS X Yosemite when it becomes available. I tried backing both up with my older Time Capsule with 2 TB of space but it isn't enough. So, today I bought the new Time Capsule 3 TB to add on to my network. I want to use both TCs in order to have 5 TB for backup.
    I have a Brother printer and my Comcast Cable Modem connected to the old Time Capsule. I also have an Apple TV with 1080p HD that uses the internet wirelessly through the old Time Capsule.
    My first question is what should connect to what and in what order? Should the new TC connect directly to the old TC and if so, with what cable?
    My 2nd question is: Can I move several 100 GB of old data that I rarely use onto the 3TB TC so that I could access the data from either computer whenever I need it, without having the data on either computer?
    Thank you.

    This is a pretty easy setup.
    Basically just plug the new TC WAN port into the old TC LAN port.
    Run the airport utility on the computer and it should recognise that the new TC is plugged into another one.. and setup bridge mode and create a wireless network.. if not you can jump in and edit it at the end of the setup.
    You could also swap things around with the new TC as the main router.. and the old one as the secondary.. but people are experiencing some issues with WAN connection to some cable modems.. so you need to be prepared if you have issues to go back to the original setup.
    You will use an ethernet patch cable to connect them. I recommend if you have them in the same area place them at least a couple of meters apart.. so buy a 2-3M patch cable at least.. (8-9ft). Even better would be to install the new TC closer to the clients that will use it.. to improve wireless in dark corners of your house.. but all that can come later.
    My 2nd question is: Can I move several 100 GB of old data that I rarely use onto the 3TB TC so that I could access the data from either computer whenever I need it, without having the data on either computer?
    This is a lot harder question.. not in how to do it.. it is simple.. copy and paste files onto the new TC.. that is not the issue..
    The problem is backup of the files that no longer exist on the computers. Ironically the TC is problematic for one major reason.. it cannot back itself up.. nor can Time Machine (TM) backup network drives. Even though TM uses the TC to store the backup it cannot actually work to backup the TC. The problems are not insurmountable.. you can use a third party backup.. eg CCC but it will be extremely slow. A better strategy if one of your computers is a desktop is to install an external drive and share it to the network. The data rate will be hugely better.. and TM can backup as per normal.

  • Can I add the time capsule to a bigpond network?

    Hi
    I've just gotten a time capsule and I'm wondering if it can be added to a bigpond home network?
    Thanks

    If the modem does not have ethernet.. then you have only one choice and that is join a wireless network.. it is not recommended as it will slow down file transfers .. in fact it can be worth thinking of running dual networks so you can use ethernet to the TC and wireless for internet.
    But if you need to you have to.. join wireless network is a hidden option in v5 utility and will not come up at all in v6 but I think you can select it via the assisted setup.
    Do you run any computer with windows or Lion or earlier version of Mac OS.. then just use v5 utility.. hold down option key when you choose the wireless mode in the airport utility manual setup.

  • Can I use the time capsule internal hard drive for file storage?

    Can I configure the Time Capsule internal HD to function as a network file server as well as handling time machine backups?
    Can the internal HD be partitioned?

    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
    5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching. 
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

  • My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?

    My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?
    Not only that but my Mac Pro keep running and does not stop, my Address book has a blue light under it but wont open, the light for my monitor in the bottom right corner wont turn on or off. Please need help...

    It sounds like there is an issue with the Mac itself.
    Use the verify disk A5 in troubleshooting.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Even if you cannot connect by ethernet, at current location.. you can simply disconnect the TC from the network and bring it to the Mac and plug it in by ethernet. The TC can be reset if you haven't got a suitable current setup (save previous setup before you change it) and run just as backup device.. do the backup and then return it to the network.
    If this is just a standard incremental backup.. then something has broken. The issue is not the TC pe se but failure in hardware somewhere.

  • Hi! how can I set the time machine/capsule back-up intervals? Heron 2

    HI! EVERYBODY,
    HOW CAN I SYNC 2 TIME CAPSULES INSTALLED IN TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, MAIN HOME AND SUMMER HOME?
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

    To use different backup intervals use TimeMachineEditor 2.5.3. I do not think syncing two Time Capsule to one another is feasible or possible. For all things Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ
