How can I maximize my wifi speed using the Time Capsule?

I do not feel that my wifi speed is as fast as it should be.  I have a 2 TB Time Capsule and connect wirelessly with an Apple MacBook Air, an iPhone 5s, an iPad 4, and iPad mini.  The online manual just tells how to do the initial setup but not how to tweak the settings.  Any idea how I can check my settings?

There's little if anything to tweak. Your wireless speed will depend upon how many devices are using it at the same time since it is shared bandwidth. Wireless is also affected by what's between the device and the router like walls, ceilings, and other obstructions. If you have two devices connected at the same time one of which only supports 802.11a/b connections and one that supports and another that uses 802.11a/b/n (faster), then your network speed will drop down to the speed of the slowest device connected.
Just use it. There's little you can do unless you have defective hardware.

    I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

    Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
    Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
    Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
    Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
    Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

  • How can I safe my data back from the Time capsule to iphone and macbook?

    Hi,
    last weekend we were robbed while being on vacation and iphones and macbook air got stolen. Good thing was that at home we had a time capsule and our normal macbook. As soon as we get the new iphones and the new airbook we want to get our itunes and apps and datas back to the iphones and airbook ... can somebody tell us how to re-safe or back-safe stuff from the time capsule back to the equipment?
    Thank you ... I feel so "naked" without my phone :-(

    Sorry about your loss. Follow the directions here to use Time Capsule to restore your new Air to the state your old Air was in when stolen. When you first connect your new phones, you'll be given the option of restoring from the backup of your old phones or setting up as new. Restore from your previous backups, followed by syncing your content back to your phones. You should be good to go. Maintaining current backups makes this a piece of cake.

  • How can I extend my wireless network with the Time Capsule?

    I recently bought a Time Capsule and set it up, backed up all my data, etc. It is currently plugged in to my AT&T Uverse wireless router via a LAN CAT5e cable. I am wondering if it is possible to wirelessly extend my preexisting network with the Time Capsule so I can move it somewhere else in my house where it can still pick up the signal but extend it. And if possible, how so? Or does it ALWAYS have to be wired'connected to my router for the internet to work?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am wondering if it is possible to wirelessly extend my preexisting network with the Time Capsule so I can move it somewhere else in my house where it can still pick up the signal but extend it.
    Sorry but no.  Extending using only wireless would require that the Time Capsule connect to another Apple router that is producing the wireless network.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have two Apple routers to be able to extend the signal wirelessly.

    Hi iCloud is Making Me Go Crazy,
    You will need to create a new Apple ID for your GameCenter and iCloud services.  You can continue to use the current Apple ID you share with your Mom for access to iTunes Store purchases if you wish.

  • Updating PS CC 2014--how can I tell if I am using the latest version?

    I just updated Bridge, PS and LR from the Creative Cloud, but when I went to use them, I was still using the old versions despite the fact that CC said I had updated to the latest versions.  A thread in the LR forum led me to sign out and back into Creative Cloud, and that did the trick for LR.  However, I cannot discern any changes in PS.  How can I tell if I am using the latest version of PS?  When I click on About Photoshop, the popup says:
    TIA.

    that's the latest ps as of today.

  • 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?
    Message was edited by: Karl R.

    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.

    It is difficult unless you tell us what format the movies are in and what player you are using?
    iTunes library will not really work. The TC is not a Media Player or Media related in any way at all.
    But if you store movies in one of many different formats that are available and use a player on the ipad that can read and play those files, it can work.
    So we cannot help you without info.. what source are the movies from? What format are they in? What player are you using?
    How flexible are you?
    Can anyone recommend what I need
    In the apple world with itunes you need a computer (Mac or Windows) running iTunes with a disk available to it big enough to hold your library. And some sort of router to connect the ipad and the computer in the network.
    Apple intends you to use itunes in homeshare.

  • Can I use the time capsule as backup and hard disk at the same time?

    Hi.
    I want to buy a time capsule.
    I wondered, if I can use the time capsule as backup (over time machine) and as a hard disk at the same time?
    If I buy the 2TB time capsule, I wanted to use 1TB for the backup and 1TB for hard disk.
    Is this possible?
    Best wishes
    Sophie

    It is not recommended.. the problem being anything stored on the TC only is not backed up and cannot be backed up by the TC itself or Time Machine. So what are you going to do about back.. the TC can and do die suddenly.. and the cost of recovery can be huge.
    See Q3 here for the semi-right way to do it if you must.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    You can plug a USB drive into the TC and use that for files.. but note, its speed is poor.. fine for wireless as wireless is even slower but you will really notice it if you expect the drive to be as fast as the internal.. it will be a fraction of the internal drive speed. 1/2 write and 1/3 read aprox.

    I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to the same Time Capsule over a wifi network. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule? Is there a way to ensure that the files on the 2 laptops are kept private from each other? Thanks!

    If someone really wants to do something, it won't take them long to find out how to do it.

    Security on a Time Capsule is a bit like installing a lock on a tent. It will keep the honest folks out, but probably not the others.

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups
