How can i extend this wifi connection by using 3TB time capsule? I have a mac book pro i7
Hi, i have a wifi in my house connected to an adsl wifi modem with fibernet speed. I just bought a time capsule with 3 TB and installed it at home. However during the first installation i couldn't connect TC to my modem with ethernet cable due to the absence of the cable.
I would like ask if i can extend the wifi range of my network by connecting my TC to my modem without a cable after the first installation with cable is done?
If yes,
Could you please explain how to do it?
Thanks in advance.
No, there is no modem in the TC.. you must continue to use the existing modem.
That can be bridged if your ISP allows it, and use PPPoE client on the TC. It is then the main router of the network.
Sometimes that setup is not possible.. the ISP supplied modem will not bridge or the ISP doesn't use PPPoE as there are a number of different methods to connect.. but the TC only supports that one.
Otherwise just plug the TC into the existing modem router and use it in router bridge mode.. this is the simplest setup and easy to do.
Create a wireless network and you can then use the TC instead of the main router for wireless if you like.

How can I extend the WiFi reach of my new Time Capsule 3TB in the best way?
Hi there,
I have installed the new Time Capsule 3TB version and I would like to know how I can extend the reach in my house in the best way.
Does it make sense to add an Airport Extreme via Wifi as well?
Thanks,
RickIf you need more wireless signal coverage, the "best" way to do this is add another AirPort in the central area that needs more coverage and then, connect the AirPort back to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
This type of setup maintains full bandwidth on the network. The result is much better performance in the "remote" area where you need more signal coverage.
Is is possible to have the AirPort "extend" the signal from the Time Capsule wirelessly....but you might want to understand the upsides and downsides to doing it this way.
Upside.....you will have more wireless signal coverage.
Downside.....the AirPort can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives via wireless. The signal will have already slowed considerably by the time that it reaches the AirPort....so the "extended" area gets a significantly slower signal than the main area.
If you decide to try the second approach via wireless extension....try for line-of-sight between the Time Capsule and AirPort to help minimize the signal loss that will occur. -
How can I get Airplay to work with my 3TB Time Capsule and my two AV receivers
I have researched the net to death and my only solace is I don't appear to be alone. I have a 3TB Time Capsule that has a Denon and Pioneer receiver attached to it by ethernet. Also connected to the time capsule our three apple TV's. I can use airplay with my iPhones and iPads to the Apple TV but can't get either the Denon or the Pioneer to show up as Air Play options on any IOS Devices or my two Mac's.
I have the latest firmware on the Denon and Pioneer, the latest firmware on the Time Capsule and Mac's. I have tried power cycling, inserting a switch between the receivers and the time capsule but to no avail.
Any suggestions would be greatlyYou can't officially as it relies on hardware.
A potential software solution is Airparrot.

How can i fix my wifi connection with my router
how can i fix my wifi connection with my router?
I think I'm having a similar problem, my wifi disconnects when a bluetooth device is connected to the MBA.
I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) with WiFi and Apple Trackpad. I'm unable to use the trackpad(bluetooth) and wifi at the same time. If I turn off the trackpad then the wifi works fine and if I shutoff the wifi then the trackpad works fine. This configuration was working fine prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
I experienced the same problem at home and at the office.
Additional test:
I turned off the bluetooth trackpad and connected my bluetooth headphones to the MBA. The wifi disconnected as soon as I paired the headphones with the MBA.
I have had no problems with the MBA's keyboard or integrated trackpad.

Hi there Rlong50,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Only one song won't play after authorizing my computer. I authorized it over and over. I even deauthorized all computers, and still same results. How can I fix this ? I'm using a MacBook Pro with iTunes 11
Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Blocked Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?
If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 6
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 7
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 8
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
