How do I configure Time Capsule to recognize my Denon receiver?

Hi all,
New to the forums but have spent the past few days perusing them to no avail - your help is appreciated from a networking newbie!
I have a Denon AVR 2312ci which I'd previously had hard-wired to an old Belkin router. The only hiccup I'd had at the time was the requirement that I disable UPnP. I have an Apple TV that I use to stream music via airplay to the receiver, which works quite well. However, it requires me to turn on the receiver, whereas directing airplay to the receiver itself would "wake on LAN", a feature I like.
Since then, I've upgraded to a 2TB Time Capsule. However, following the router change I am no longer able to find the Denon on my home network, nor do any of the networking capabilities of the receiver work any longer. I tried disabling DHCP on the Denon and assigning a static IP address, but this didn't work. I tested multiple Cat5e cables using various LAN ports on the router - no luck there, either. I tried to reset the network card on the Denon - same result.
I'm beginning to wonder whether the problem lies with the way the Time Capsule is configured - any thoughts or suggestions out there?

LP,
IT WORKS!
To summarize for anyone who might have this problem, here's what fixed it:
1) Time Capsule --Cat5e--> LAN port of router/switch (in my case, an old Netgear 10/100 with DHCP and NAT disabled) --Cat5e--> Denon receiver
2) Through Airport Utility, made an IP reservation for an IP outside of the DHCP range (in my case 10.0.1.2 through 10.0.1.200, so I chose 10.0.1.202). You will need your AV receiver's MAC address to do this.
3) Disabled DHCP on the Denon
4) Manually entered the IP address (e.g. 10.0.1.202), subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 10.0.1.1 (e.g. the TC's local IP), primary DNS 8.8.8.8, secondary DNS left blank, proxy off
This worked after I left the unit on standby for a period of a few hours (did not immediately work). I did not need to do any port forwarding, DMZ, etc.
I am now able to access the unit from my web browser in my local network and am able to airplay directly to the unit using my other airplay enabled apps/iTunes.
Much thanks to LaPastenague for his very helpful advice!!

HT1178 How setup and configure time capsule with ADSL modem for WiFi internet

For my first time time capsule 2TB set up,would like to know about configuration time capsule with ADSL modem for use WiFi internet!

You will want to turn off the WiFi on your modem (if there is WiFi on your modem). Connect the TC and the modem together with an Ethernet cable. Then, turn on your TC and set it up to be in bridged mode, connection type 'Ethernet'.

How do I configure Time Capsule as backup with an existing d-link router?

I just purchased a 1T Time Capsule. My original idea was that it would replace our d-link router. However, I was not happy with the speed and connectivity compared with the totally awesome D-Link (Dual Band DIR825), which is solid and connects and stays connected with all computers in my household. So, now I want to use the Time Capsule as the backup for three MacBooks (all running the latest OS).
So... how do I set this up so that it will work? I have a total of three MacBooks and three PCs, but only the MacBooks need to backup to the TC. I handle the PC backups separately.
I am new to the Mac world, but am relatively comfortable with computers. Networking not so much!
Equipment: D-Link DIR 625 attached to a Cisco high speed modem attached to the Comcast all in one digital voice modem. I get the fastest home Internet Comcast can provide.
1 new MacBook Pro
2 older model white MacBooks
Also, is there any way I can set up print sharing through the Time Capsule? It doesn't work well over the PC network, and the USB share utility that comes with the D-Link router is terrible.
I have an older HP Laserjet 3030 and a newer Canon Pixma 970. Neither printer is wireless.
Any help you fine people can give me would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
Linda H.

OK, thanks for the info. Let's get the TC setup to work with your Macs for backups and then tackle the printing question as a separate item.
Connection wise, you will connect an ethernet cable from one of the available LAN <-> ports on your D-Link to the WAN (circle icon) port on the TC.
To make the TC configuration simpler, rather than using wireless to configure the TC, temporarily connect another ethernet cable from your Mac running Snow Leopard to one of the LAN ports on the TC
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
(You may be asked if you want to update AirPort Utility. If so, go ahead and update and then restart AirPort Utility again.
After you have clicked the Manual Setup button...
Click the Time Capsule tab below the row of icons to assign a name to your TC, device password (write this down) and adjust Time Zone Settings
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode = Off
Click the Disks icon above the Time Capsule tab
Click the File Sharing tab
Make sure there is a check mark next to Enable File Sharing
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update at the lower right and the TC should restart in 15-20 seconds and you should have a green light.
As a check, open your Macintosh HD and look for your Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the panel. If it's there, that's good.
If it's not, click anywhere on the open desktop to display the Finder menus at the top of your computer screen.
Click Finder, then click Preferences, then click the General tab
Under the heading of "show these items on the desktop" make sure that there is a check mark next to "connected servers"
You should now see the TC icon under the SHARED heading. If not, try restarting your computer.
Keep the ethernet cable connected between your Mac and TC for the first complete Time Machine backup as it will go much quicker with ethernet. You can do subsequent backups using wireless since they will only take a few minutes each hour.
Not sure if you want to setup Time Machine at this point or concentrate on the printers.
Please post back on your progress.

HT2497 how should i configure time capsule with time warner arris as separate networks?

i have been using the time capsule 4th generation with my home network but my connectivity seems to sometimes disconnect atleast with my macbook pro i always seem to be having to go place my cursor on the wifi logo to keep it consistent? i could jsut try and continue but really want a simple fast direction in what to do and how to configure this so that i only have access to my time capsule and network while my family may have access to the arris time warner cable network... ive heard of bridging and have had it so that my router be a bridge. whats the benefit and actual meaning of bridging in lame terms? i understand that bridging means it just runs internet through that device... so that device isnt setting any ip adresses? anywho ive messed around with the twcale internet site a bit hope i havent messed up too much. when i called time warner cable today they said they could only assist me with the arris side and not advise me with time capsule config... now i want to call apple but it seems i have to pay to call them? wow. and i bought the time capsule and best buy and was on hold for 10 minutes while being hung up rght when i seemed to be about to be helped. oh joys. anywho... help please?

We recently switched back to TWC here in the valley, att was horrible. We get 22.6 download and 2.24 uploads usually, however...we too have been having issues with the internet becoming sluggish throughout the day, not just at peak usage times. We have 2 computer plugged in directly and 3 others wireless but not on at the same time all the time.
I haven't gone into the Arris this time around, but am thinking there are settings that are screwed up. We have been using the Time Capsule's wireless connection and it is terribly slow. I'm not sure if there is a problem with the settings there or what.
Anyone, anyone, Beuler, Beuler?

How do I configure Time Capsule to work with 8 port unmanaged switch?

This is what I want to end up with.
cable modem
Time Capsule
wireless network 8 port unmanaged switch TRENDnet TEGS80G
entertainment center(TV, xbox 360, dvd, apple tv, ect...)
I have been using the above setup with an E3000 router in place of the time capsule without any problems, and was expecting to just be able to switch out the E3000 for the time capsule and keep right on rolling. At the moment, without the switch plugged in, using the time capsule as a stand alone wireless router, everything works as intended. However, I don't want to have every device in the house pulling off of wireless. Whenever I plug my switch in I lose internet connectivity. I assume this is because both the switch and the Time Capsule are trying to direct traffic and creating a conflict. I have attempted to disable the NAT in the Airport Utility and this is what happens.
Where do I go from here, or am I heading in completely the wrong direction?

Unfortunately, you are on the wrong track, heading in the wrong direction at the moment.
We need to learn whether you have a simple modem or a modem/router.
This will determine whether the Time Capsule is to be configured in router mode to provide DHCP and NAT services for the network......or if your "modem" is already doing this.....the Time Capsule needs to be configured in Bridge Mode.
So, I suggest that you disconnect the switch from the Time Capsule for now, and power everything off except the modem, Time Capsule and the computer you are using to configure the Time Capsule, and get things working correctly first. Then, devices can be added one at a time to verify proper operation.
If this seems to make sense to you, and you want to move forward, please post back with the make and model number of your cable modem.

How to configure Time Capsule for Automatic Backup AND HARD DRIVE USE

I tried to configure Time Capsule for back up and as a hard drive. I record music and need to copy the music myself onto an external hard drive for speed, so I want the TC to double as an external hard drive, and do the back up. I want to be able to open the TC as a hard drive, to open my songs from it. Can it do both?

I finally figured it out. I am able to access my TC from the "shared folder." When I click on it, I get the "connection failed message." I failed to notice the login button in the upper right -- user error due to my Windows based education. The button is very subtle. Once I login, I can create folders and add content.
I didn't see a partition option. Where is that? Just curious.
Thanks!

If so use a backup software that can backup to network drive.. MSbackup in the home versions cannot. You need to use third party.

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

I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3. can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help, thanks.

I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3. can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help? thanks

Just need to plug the TC in to the hub in bridge mode.. do not try and bridge the homehub.. it is not possible with the setup BT uses.
To bridge the TC.. plug it directly into a computer by ethernet.. no other connection to the TC or the computer.
Press and hold in reset until the front LED flashes rapidly.. about 10sec.
Release the reset.
Open the airport utility and setup the TC to bridge mode.
The actual method depends on version of the OS and airport utility you use.
This is version 5.
Sorry I cannot post the v6 as I am on a snow leopard computer now. But you go to the network tab, and choose off bridge mode for method of connection. It will be NAT and dhcp by default.
Then setup wireless.. you have a number of choices here.
Either setup with the same SSID Security and password, as the homehub uses.. or a different name, and password..
Each method works fine.. but you sometimes have issues with wireless channels.. for now leave it on auto and see what happens.. if you have issues lock down the radio channels on both devices.. use one out of the following on each, 1, 6, 11 or 13 in UK.. so say 6 on the homehub then 13 onthe TC.
Update the TC.. unplug fromt the computer and plug it into the homehub.
If you have other issues with the setup tell us what OS you run so we can post suitable screenshots.

How to share 1 time capsule to 2 macbooks air, using Time Machine?

You don't need to do anything.. both computers can use the TC and will create separate backups. It is simply designed to work with Time Machine.

How to set up time capsule with BT Infinity

how to set up time capsule with BT Infinity

The easiest and sure way is to use bridge on the TC as the method of connection. The TC then becomes a device in your network and gets its IP from the main router that I presume BT supply.
Method is,
1. Plug the TC WAN port into the BT supplied modem by ethernet.
2. Plug the computer you are using for the setup into the TC by ethernet.
3. Run the airport utility .. go to internet tab on the top menu..
In the bottom option, Connection Sharing choose off (bridged mode)
4. Go to the wireless page and setup wireless connection as you like it.. using whichever band you want. And make sure security is set to the highest setting, wpa2 personal. Put in a decent wireless passkey.
5. Press the update and fix whatever else the TC will show as needing fixing.. usually security stuff.
6. You can then disconnect the ethernet and connect by wireless if you want. Any port on the TC will now be a LAN port, including WAN.
This is assuming BT supply a wireless router with built in vdsl/other type of modem. If so you normally will not be able to bridge the modem, unless BT are using pppoe authentication which they haven't in the past.
If you really need to use the TC as a router then you will need to work out an alternative method. You can double NAT by placing the TC in the DMZ of the BT router if that is an option. It is not without issues in general.

TM does not work like that.
If you want files to use later.. do not use TM.
Or do not use TM to the same location. Plug a USB drive into the computer and use that as the target for the permanent backup.
Read some details of how TM works so you understand what it will do.

Use a clone or different software for a permanent backup.

How do I use Time Capsule as my main wireless router and get rid of my other router?

I haven't been able to figure out how to use my Time Capsule as my main router, currently it's connected to my old router and isn't doing much as I'm still getting internet from my old, not as good router. How do I take advantage of the Time Capsule's capabilities and make it my main router? (Preferably get rid of the other one.) The Time Capsule doesn't have an ADSL port which is why I've found it difficult to do this and even when connected to the other router I'm still receiving internet from that one and not the Time Capsule.

Thanks, very helpful. The current modem/router I'm using to connect to the Time Capsule is in fact and ISP one, so now I just need to figure out how to "Connect to a network using ethernet to extend the network or create a second network" because whenever I try use that option it can't find the network it's extending and doesn't work.
You can only extend another Apple router wirelessly.

My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet? What could be the problem? How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

That it is still working is miraclous.. most have died.. lots started flaking out at 18months to 2years..
See deadtimecapsule.org
The few that remained now seem to have reached EOL.. you can repair if you have some skills.. fairly cheaply.
But it is well and truly time to replace.

Apple has specific instructions on moving libraries.
eg itunes.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
You simply follow those instructions..
TC is a network drive.. nothing more.
To move individual files, just copy and paste to a new directory.. not inside a TM sparsebundle please.
BUT.. TC only worries me.. deeply.
It is relatively easy to corrupt a library when you copy to it.. library as a whole is then corrupted and will need to be restored from backup.. wops.. no backup. You are putting at risk all your files.. don't do it.. make sure you backup..
And here is the rub.. TC cannot back itself up.. TM cannot backup network drives.
And where are you going to backup.. to... an external drive on the computer.. in that case, that is where the library should be and the TC used as normal.. ie backup target for TM.
Please read Pondini on how to do it properly though.
