How do you extend the guest network on a time capsule to an apple express?

I have a time capsule in my main house with a password protected guest network i set up an apple express in the guest house to extend the networks. Unfortunately the guest house / apple express is only amplifying the main house network. I would like my tenant to join the guest network from apple express. Is that possible?

Sorry, but Apple does not allow the Guest Network to be extended in any way.

  • How do you extend the reception range on a Time Capsule?

    Live in an older home and looking to extend the wifi range of my Time Capsule.  Any advice?

    You need to buy another Apple router.. express, extreme .. I guess even another TC.. and run it in extend wireless mode.. this is  just wireless repeater by another name.
    Better is to run ethernet and use a second Access Point.. AP which can be any brand under the sun. Faster and you can buy stuff that actually will cover the whole house.. the fact of the matter is, Apple Routers are NOT wifi power houses. They are mediocre at best.

  • 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.

  • How to setup 24 hours guest network access with Time Capsule 4th gen. ?

    Hello,
    I just bought a Time Capsule 2TB and I cannot find the setting to limit the network access to 24 hours.
    I updated the firmware and Airport Utility to the latest version and it seems that most of help on this setting I fond on internat are based on previous version.
    By example I do not have a "Manual setting" in the "Base Station" menu like described in the manual.
    Can someone help on this ?
    Thank you and Regards,
    Sebastien

    Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion. It will have the settings that you are looking for.
    You can keep both AirPort Utility 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac and use the one that you need.

  • Guest network feature of Time Capsule/Airport Extreme in conflict with DNS on OS X Server?

    Hi, I want use the guest network feature of Time Capsule/Airport Extreme which requires an external DNS server but my OS X Server is the dns server...Can I configure server and airport with an external dns without messing up my OS server?
    Thx Ron

    If you want to use the guest network while also using your server for DNS - you will need to do the following:  It's a bit painful - but it works.
    On your Airport Device (Airport Extreme or Time Capsule) - in the Internet tab you will need to do one of the following:
    1)  Leave the DNS Servers Blank - which they will default to the DNS servers provided by your ISP.
    2)  Actually enter your ISP's DNS servers.
    3)  Enter Open DNS servers (I use 208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220).
    The DNS servers specified in the airport device must be internet routable addresses (if you are going to use the guest network functionality) - and cannot refer to private ip address (e.g. 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, etc).
    Here is the painful part...on all of the devices (Macs, PCs, phones, ipads - that will be used on your "private" network 10.0.1.x - you will need to provide static DNS setting (but still allow DHCP to assign the devices IP address).  You will specify 10.0.1.13 as primary DNS and 208.267.222.222 (or your ISP's primary DNS IP).
    One you do this - your devices that you permanently use on your local network - will still use your server for DNS - and the external DNS - should your DNS server happen to be down.
    Anyone visiting your house - will connect to your guest network - and automatically be DHCP assigned a guest IP address - and the external DNS servers that you specified in the Airport Extreme device.
    This has been working great for me.  I suspect that the guest network functionality is flawed in the Airport Extreme/Express and Time Capsule.  Since I do not have another router that provides a guest network - I cannot say whether this issues is limited to the Airport devices - or whether this workaround would need to be done - regardless of which brand of router is providing the guest network.
    In a nutshell - your household permanent devices will have to specify static DNS servers - but your guests will connect seamlessly without having to change and risk messing up any of their device settings.
    If this solution works for you - Please be sure to click either "This solved my problem" or "This helped me".

  • Extending the guest network

    For some reason, the guest network from my Dual Band AirPort Extreme does not show up in the list of networks on my wireless N AirPort Express. The private network shows up. Can I not extend the guest network.
    To go one step further, I don't suppose the express could extend both the private and guest networks. You would probably need two for that right?

    I have a similar need. Two business customers want to make wireless access available over the entire area of their operation without letting users gain access to their internal network. As has been said by everyone on all the posts I've been on that we can surely extend the Main SSID network but not the guest. Bob Timmons has responded in other posts that this is not possible at this time and that it is not a feature enabled by APPLE. The only solution these customers have is to obtain another IP address from their provider and install a second router on that network. Not quite as elegant as Apple's Airport Extreme where you can monitor both networks from one login.

  • HT4259 How can I extend a wireless network from a 2Wire modem by usingan Airport Express? Years ago I could do this just by plugging in the (old) Airport Express. TIA Travelmonger

         How can I extend a wirelss network from a 2Wire modem using an Airport Express? Some years ago using the old Express I was able to do so simply by plugging on the Express witha minimum of tweaking. Still the same?
    TIA
    Travelmonger

    Still the same?
    Unfortunately, no.
    Apple's newer "Extend a wireless network" feature was designed to only work with other Apple products, so it would be extremely unlikely that it would work with a 2-Wire device if you plan to extend using wireless only.
    If you plan to connect the AirPort Express to the 2-Wire device using a wired Ethernet connection, the Express can be configured to provide more wireless coverage that way.

  • How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was fine until the last update. It says my whole name's guest network which I do not want everyone seeing. There is no guest network setting in my airport utility.

    How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was not showing up until I recently upgraded the airport. It now says my name's guest network and I don't like my name showing on the available network list! I am using a Verizon wireless modem with the wireless feature off.

    Open AirPort Utility, go to the Wireless tab and remove the check from the guest network check box.

  • How do you extend the frame from one side but not the whole thing?

    I am updating my blog and want to put a rectangle picture into the pre-set frame. I need to stretch it horizontally but the entire frame (i.e., both sides and top/bottom) stretched instead. How do you extend the frame from one side but not the whole thing?

    In Inspector, select the Graphic Inspector. Choose, from the Fill options, Image Fill. Select the image from the dropdown and click Open. Now go back to Inspector and click on Scale to Fit. Choose from the options in the window. There are a number of them which should address your problem:
    With the Blog template, you will probably need to insert a text box over the stock placement frame and work with that instead.

  • How can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express

    how can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express ?
    The time capsule is near the Mac. ok
    The first Airport is on the corridor, ok, works well and the App on the iPad signals so, ok
    But when I plug the next Airport on another room nearby nothing happens, and signals disconected ....
    is the signal so weak that is not able to go to ono room to the other ?

    Well, even if you have the first express set up to extend the network, the second express can only extend from the TimeCapsule.
    Maybe you got walls of sheetrook in the way, or kitchen/bathroom tiles, etc, dampening the signal rapidly.

  • HT1175 How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

    How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

    I can read your question a number of ways.
    If you mean a disk plugged into your computer you wish to include in Time Machine backup.. just make sure it is HFS+ formatted and remove it from the exclusion list in the TM preferences.
    If you mean a disk plugged into your TC for backup,
    You can plug a USB disk into a Time Capsule as long as it is compatible.. and the disk is formatted HFS+, ie Mac OS extended Journaled.
    You need a USB powered hub if you want to use multiple hard disks and even one might still need a hub.
    Not all external drives are recogised but for example the Touro Deskpro works fine.
    You can buy them up to 4TB.. how much added space do you want.
    Also notice that USB 2 on a TC or AE is slow.. I mean half the speed of the same disk plugged into your computer so consider if speed is relevant to you.
    You cannot use TM to backup network disks.. again I am not 100% sure what the question means.

  • How do I access the data saved on my time capsule?  for example, if i try to view my photos it tells me that i have 2.4gb of photos and gives me the option to "view with iPhoto"....but when i click on "view with iPhoto" nothing happens...  thanks!

    how do i access the data stored on my time capsule?  for example, if i try to view a photo, i get the option to "view with iphoto" but when i click on "view with iphoto" nothing happens.  i'm having similar trouble openning up movies, music, etc.  it appears as though the files exist / saved on the time capsule (because i can see how much storage they consume), but i can't open them.  thanks!

    Unfortunately, Apple removed the feature to "browse backups" in Time Machine backups of iPhoto a few years ago.
    You have to restore the entire iPhoto library to a separate location to be able to "see" it, and then choose the specific images that you want use.
    For complete details, see #15 in Pondini's excellent support document Time Machine -- FAQ.  Check the information in the pink box there.

  • I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

    I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

    By default your new Time Capsule will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
    Most likely your iMacs will be connected to the wireless network created by the Virgin Media router. However, both should see the Apple Network under the AirPort icon's drop-down menu as another wireless network that they can connect to. Is this not the case?
