How do i connect to a wifi network after my time capsule has completed its auto setup.

Let me start by saying I contract overseas currently in Afghanistan. Ok so I have over 10 networks in my area and can not connect to a router with ethernet cable. When it does the auto setup it finds the network sometimes but doesn't stay up long enough for me to enter my password. I just dont know how or where to manually set up my network. I also dont know what information i need. I dont have access to any of the routers so this might not even be possible.
Thanks Dan

Unfortunately, the Time Capsule, and AirPort Extreme do require an Ethernet connection when they are connected to a 3rd party wireless network.
It is a bit goofy....and I don't know if it will work in your particular situation.....but here is what I do when am traveling and I want to set up a private wireless network in my room......and the hotel only provides a wireless connection. I travel with an AirPort Express and another AirPort router....two devices.
One AirPort Express is configured to "Join a wireless network", so it receives the wireless signal from the hotel. That same Express then feeds an Ethernet signal from its LAN port to the WAN port on another AirPort router, which is set up to "create a wireless network".
So, I can set up my own private network in the room and connect from multiple devices....wireless or wired...and only pay for one connection.

If you are using WEP as a security on your router that is why it won't connect. WEP is so old school and very insecure that Apple has made it so there WiFi cards won't connect to WEP. It might as well be wide open. You can try that. Take all security, WEP/WPA/WPA2, off your router and see if it connects.
If it does then use either WPA or better WPA2.

How do I set up a guest network on my Time Capsule?

how do I set up a guest network on my Time Capsule?

If that is the case, then......
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Locate the Guest Network tab located just below the row of icons and click on it
(If you do not see a Guest Network tab....you likely do not have the Time Capsule connected to a simple modem)
Enter a check mark next to "Enable Guest Network"
Type in a name for the Guest Network
Enter the password and confirm
Click Update to save your settings and Time Capsule will restart in 25-30 seconds

How can i connect to a wifi network with no internet connection?

I used to be able to connect my Z10 to a wifi network even when the network had no Internet connectivity when i got my phone in Feb. 2013 (10.0) However ever since the 10.1 update this has stopped working. I cannot connect to my wifi network when there is no Internet connection. I cannot play videos / music from my phone to my tv/music system or connect to my laptop. However my laptop and tv communicate just fine through the same network.
Can anyone recommend anything for this?

Your saved wifi networks should connect automatically whether internet is available or not, you may receive a notification "there appears to be no internet connection".
Update to 10.2, if not available from your carrier then use Sachesi (see other threads).

Extending a wifi network with a time capsule

My broadband router (BT) can only go in my office and is the same room that my iMac is located.
Is there any way that I can connect my Time Capsule to either my BT wireless router or my iMac via WiFi and us the Time Capsule as another wifi base station.
Idelaly I want the Time Capsule in the hallway so that I can connect via WiFo from my living room.
Currently the living room is too far from my office to connect to my BT router via WiFi.

Is there any way that I can connect my Time Capsule to either my BT wireless router or my iMac via WiFi and us the Time Capsule as another wifi base station.
Unfortunately, no...unless you want to connect the Time Capsule to the BT router using a wired Ethernet connection or by using Ethernet over Powerline (EOP) adapters.
You need two Apple routers to be able to "extend" using wireless only......since this feature only works among Apple wireless routers.
If you connected an Apple router to the BT router using a wired Ethernet connection and configured the Apple router to "create a wireless network", then you could use the Time Capsule to "extend" that same network using wireless only.

How do I connect my existing wifi network to a new Airport network?

Right now I have two wifi networks. The one that connects to the Internet and one that's for AirPlay and has no Internet connection. How do I connect the two? The desired outcome would be to have one network that connected to the Internet and also could connect to my Airport. Please help! Thanks!

Is the wireless network for Internet access provided by another AirPort (Express, Extreme, or Time Capsule) router?

[WORKAROUND] Cannot connect to any WiFi network after resume

Hi, I'm having one weird problem that makes my laptop not as mobile as I'd like it to be..
Literally, I have to boot it up again after each move.
Here's the issue: if I suspend to ram, and then resume in a place with different WiFi network, it can't connect to Internet again.
I'm using NetworkManager via corresponding plasmoid in KDE (although, nmcli does not work either).
When I click a network name, I get the following:
"Configuring interface" .... -> Cannot connect to {NetworkName}
(the labels might be a bit different, as I get all notifications in my local language)
Have anyone experienced this before?
Or, AT LEAST, how can I get a bit more verbose output from NetworkManager? Is there a log file?
Here's the hardware:
05:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
Here's what I've tried already (and it didn't help):
# systemctl restart NetworkManager
# modprobe -r ath9k
# ncmcli nm sleep false
WORKAROUND FOUND: When I get "Configuring interface" .... -> Cannot connect to {NetworkName} (it happens not only after resumes, btw), I type the following in the console:
sudo dhcpcd -k
So much time passed, so many updates -- still have to do this manually... %)

My iPad2(Wifi-16Gb) unable to connect to home wifi network after upgraded to iOS6. The said network is a remembered network and never face this connection issue before iOS6.

Forget and reconnect the netwrok doean't solve the problem.
Even Network Reset recommended in others iPad user in the forum can't help as well.
Please advice. Thanks.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Modify/delete a wifi network created in Time Capsule.

Hello, I created some wifi networks with Time Capsule. Now I want to eliminate some of them in order to keep only 2 or 3 "on air"; how can I do it? My Airport Utility is updated; v. 6.3.2

You cannot create multiple wifi networks.. you can create 2.. one for 2.4ghz and one for 5ghz. (Guest network I guess is also possible).. once you change the name of the network the previous ones no longer exist.
If you have a long list of wireless names in your computer.. delete them from your computer. They are simply history and no longer current.
Tesserax has info for deleting all the old names that are stored on your computer to fix connection after wake from sleep issues.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3411

My network on the time capsule has a "lock" by it so I know that it requires a password. My guest network has no "lock" by it so I am thinking that it is not locked and people could use it. How do I lock my guest network on my time capsule or delete it?

My Time Capsule had a guest network that does not have a "lock" sign by it. So I am thinking that other people can use my wireless internet. My other network does have a "lock" by it. How do I delete or lock the guest network? I obvioulsy am not a computer savy individual so please use laymans terms if you can help me. Please and thank you.

In any event, if your OS X version is 10.7.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion:
Lion: AirPort Utility 5.6.
If your OS X version is 10.5.x or 10.6.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.5.3:
Leopard, Snow Leopard: AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
After you install the appropriate version of AirPort Utility, open it. The program will be located in your Utilities folder, which in turn is found in your Applications folder.
To open the Utilities folder, go to the Finder and select "Utilities" from the Go menu:
AirPort Utility 5.6 looks like this:
... but make sure you use the version of AirPort Utility you just downloaded.
Launch AirPort Utility and select your Time Capsule. Click Manual Setup, then the Guest Menu tab, then you can elect to disable the guest network, or to establish whatever security settings you want.
The window looks somewhat like this:
If your version of AirPort Utility does not look anything like that, you are probably not using the one you just downloaded. Find it and start over.
When you are finished configuring your Time Capsule, click Update and allow the Time Capsule to restart.

I need to connect a Netgear WiFi extender to my time capsule

I have bought a Netgear WiFi extender to connect my Skye TV box to the internet. I use a Time Capsule as the home router and it won't connect to it. Any ideas please.

The Netgear will only work if it uses universal repeater.. You cannot extend wireless on Apple router using non-apple products.. and universal tends to be somewhat flakey.. good luck.
(You should use express).

Just got an iPhone 3GS, How do I connect to home WiFi network?

I posted this in the network discussion as well, but wasn't getting answers and I need to resolve this problem as soon as possible.
I just got my brand new iPhone 3GS. I just recently finished fully charging it and activating it. I am exploring my new device but I am getting extremely frustrated as to connecting to WiFi. I want to use WiFi for web browsing, but when I go to WiFi on my iPhone it says No Networks (or something of the sort). I try to enter in the name of my network (which I know). But I don't know what kind of security OR the password to the network.
I really want to enjoy this phone/gadget but I don't know how to set it up to connect to my network.
Can somebody help me in telling me where I can find the security type and password to my network.
Thanks!

Sounds like you (or a buddy who helped you) setup your home network to Cloak its SSID (name). Thus as you said, you need to manually enter it.
But from there, you will also need to know any Key (password) you set on it to join.
If you don't know those items, not much we can do to help (now I could always drive on by fire up airrack-ng suite and break in for ya)
You can always go to your computer, try to access your router (odds are http://192.168.1.1 ) via your browser.
Then see what settings you can get to.
If it was locked down, then I suggest going to your routers website and read up how to reset the router (odds are button on back you have to hold in for 10 secs) which will reset the router back to default settings.
All devices will then have to re-join your default network (real manual that came with router or get one online before resetting).

Why can't I connect to my wifi network after ios 6 update?

I have updated to ios 6 and now when I try to connect to wifi, it sends me to a "oops the page you have requested is not available" page at apple.com. What is going on????

It didn't work for me either.
My Apple store don't know the answer and have suggested that I connect to a computer and do a full reset and install iOS6 again.
Not too sure how to do that yet.

How can i connect an external hard drive to my time capsule?

I can see it though my airport utility but not my network.

I have the same problem, it is NTFS formatted, is that a problem?
Sure is.. The TC cannot use it.. cannot see it or read it.
You need to connect the disk to the Mac, format it HFS+ and make sure it is GUID type disk not MBR windows type. Although you can also use fat32 IMHO that is really backward step.
Windows can still write to it, as the TC or airport can offer SMB to the network.. it is irrelevant the format of a drive plugged in.
The USB port is underpowered in the TC.. even though the hard disk is powered you sometimes need a powered hub.. and not all powered hubs work.
Also note USB is slow.. connected to a network device it is double or triple slow.
It is far better to plug the USB drive straight into the computer and use it in native format to the OS of the computer.

How do i connect to a wifi network after my time capsule has completed its auto setup.
