You will need to launch the AirPort Utility and setup the Time Capsule. Take a look at this link, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/time_capsule_4th_gen_setup.pdf

Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

Do the usual wireless things.
Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
For testing take off the security altogether.
The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.

DirecTV DVR HR20 connect to internet via Time Capsule

Hi Everyone,
I've searched and come across various topics about connecting the DirecTV DVR to the internet via Time Capsule, but none of them seem to provide a solution for wireless connectivity.
Can anyone point me to a topic where it describes the steps and any issues related to getting my DirecTV DVR connected to the internet via the Time Capsule wirelessly.
I have gone through the setup and I get connected to my network, but I get the error when it tries to connect to the internet.
Do I have to do any port forwarding or anything special?
I use to have my Netgear supporting this configuration, just purchased the Time Capsule and now I cannot get my DVR connected.
Thanks for the support
Jeff...

The Direct TV DVR has an Ethernet connection on the back, which is strongly recommended if you intend to download movies or any kind of high definition material.
If you are trying to use the new Whole Home feature, wireless is not supported by Direct TV for this service.
If you are trying to connect to the DVR using wireless from the Time Capsule, you must be using some sort of wireless to Ethernet bridge device.
What device are you trying to use?
Have you verified that this device is compatible with the Time Capsule?
As a test, connect the adapter/bridge to your laptop and turn the wireless off on the laptop. Open your browser to see if you can get an Internet connection.
If you can, you know the network connection is good and the focus shifts to the DVR as the source of the problem.
If you can't, we'll need to figure out if the adapter you are using will work the Time Capsule.

Problem connecting Dell Inspiron 6000 to internet via Time Capsule.

Hi,
Unable to connect Dell Inspiron 6000 to internet via Time Capsule.
I get this "Windows is unable to connect to selected network. Network may no longer be in range". Any clue?
Thanks.

What modem do you have?
Is it a router? What mode is the TC being setup in, bridge or router?
Is it cable modem? If so did you power cycle the modem for the required time.. it might be 30min or just 5min or many hours depending on the ISP.
Tell us more.
For mavericks please ensure your network connections have ipv6 set correctly.. ie link-local.

VNC remote my computer from Internet via time capsule

I have several computers connected with Airport via time capsule to Internet.
When I am out of office, how can I remote one of the computers from the Ipad? I use Mocha VNC
I´ve been trying but impossible to find the complete IP or DNS name, my IPAD do not find any of the computers if connected via Time Capsule
I have no prob when connecting one computer to modem directly , It works fine If I write the IP on my IPAD.
Back to my mac and VNC password settings seems correct.

Try locking the wireless channels for 2.4ghz.. instead of auto use 1, 6 or 11. Test each in turn.
I would also suggest using a SMB name.. ie short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Did you happen to upgrade to latest iOS?? People are experiencing some bugs.. which is no real suprise.
Has the phone worked before and stopped working after some change you made.. or have you never been able to connect using this phone.

Windows XP won't connect to Internet via Time Capsule AE

I've got a MacBook Pro and MacBook using Airport Extreme via Time Capsule. I recently partitioned MacBook Pro and added Windows XP via Boot Camp. The XP sees the Airport but cannot connect. I've added the same key to XP as used for Mac access, but it still doesn't connect.
Its a WPA2 Personal Key. XP allows WEP, WPA, and WPA-??? (there are three other letters there that are NOT "2" or "Personal"). It allows one of two "types" that are TKIP or AS? (Three letters that I can't remember.) I'm completely lost.
I also tried changing channels, but that's frustrating unless I just change from the PC end. I had been changing them on the Mac, then rebooting to XP to see what happens. (Nothing, so far.)
Has anyone successfully gotten XP on the Wireless?

XP wireless to a Time Capsule works fine. Problem is, as you've found, choosing the right wireless security, then entering the key in the right format.
Because of this problem in mixed OS X / XP networks, I've stuck with WEP. It's less secure, but it works!
I live in a rural area, so wireless security isn't really an issue.
Try reconfiguring your TC to use WEP. Once you've got it working, investigate the other security options.

Computers connecting to internet via time capsule are reporting no internet connectivity. PC is reporting default gateway has changed. How to I correct this?

Am having trouble with maintaining a stable wireless network via the Time Capsule. Am running 1 Mac and 3 PC on a Time Capsule wireless in bridge mode connected to a Verizon wireless router. Verizon wireless is turned off and the Time Capsule seems to be staying connected to the Verizon router. When any of the connected computerss goes to stanby, they often report the internet is no longer available. The PCs say the default gateway has changed ans the Mac simply reports the network parameters have changed. What do I need to do to the Time Capsule to stabilize the wireless network?

It is unlikely that the gateway changes.. but anything is possible.. sorry I am not in the US.. is your service adsl or cable?? What sort of lease time does the public IP have? Some cable companies now rotate then on the hour I noticed.. others on about 3months.. but most it is one day.
Track it yourself.. see what gateway address the TC gets and if it is rotating with the IP.
If your client computers are running Mountain Lion.. the plain fact is, they are not particularly stable.
Wireless is worst.. ethernet tends to be ok.. but for instance Laptops updated to Mountain Lion can be pretty flakey.. with the TC.. and it is the combo that is more the issue. People report improvement with clean install of ML. BUT there is still a bug there that causes the ML to be less than fantastic.
I experience it occasionally even with a dlink wireless router.. after a wake from sleep.. the network will drop out and need to be manually connected back.. I have to admit I expect no better from Mountain Lion. I could load Snow Leopard on it and it would drop once every blue moon.. but I got the laptop with ML so I live with it.. !!

My Housemate can't access wireless internet via Time Capsule...

Happened all of a sudden after working fine. He's the only PC user in the house.
He's asked me to do a reset on the wireless network.
Any suggestions? Walkthrough?
Thanks in advance!
Time Capsule 2TB

Just do a reboot of the TC.. ie pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug in the power cord.
If that doesn't work.. try this.
Same as what I just posted here.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4780145?tstart=0
Use SMB names.. important for windows..
Fix the channels.. use different name for 5ghz.
And WPA2 Personal security.

Remote Access (internet) to Time Capsule Issue

Hi and tnxs for reading,
after having tried a lot of suggestions on the internet about how to make TC file sharing working remotely, I am writing here because I am still looking for a solution!!
I have my TC bridged via ethernet to my DSL router (given from my internet provider).
I am using for all my devices TC WiFi, for local network and internet.
I activated Back to my mac on TC and to my Mac.
I can see my TC files when connected on my local WiFi, however, if I connect to the internet through another network, although I can see my Time Capsule on the left column of my finder, if I click on it, the connection fails.
Maybe it notoworthy to say that on System Preferences, iCloud, back to My Mac, I have a note saying that in order to improve the network, i should use use port mapping or upnp. Now, I cannot activate upnp on my router, but I can do port mapping, as i am doing for video surveillance stuff or similar things. However, I have tried to open ports suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4907 but nothing at all...
Please, help!!!
PS: I would like to remotely connect to my airport devices through Airport Utility but it is not working aswell, and I think it is due to the same issue.
I'd really appreciate to be helped in this issue.

Sorry with time differences this is going to take a while.
I am going to need to work through some of the scenario myself.. my main concern is that BTMM may simply not work with the TC in bridge.
When people run into trouble.. eg here. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3699096?start=0&tstart=0
Alot of the problems come from the TC being in bridge. If you cannot get the TC to be the main router.. due to the kind of setup you have, then direct access method to the TC is the only way to do it.
5) The main thing I'd like to do is to have access to my TC HD from the internet.
That gives you what you mainly want at point 5.. access to the TC HD.
1) I rebooted my computer after turning of my BTMM on airport express. I kept on on my TC and in my iCloud Setting.
So the TC is now the only item that has BTMM set??
But no luck?? You didn't give me a result.
2) The brand of my modem is ELSAG DATAMAT, model ARGO55+, provided by FASTWEB internet provider (I need it to have internet).
I will look this up. Appears to be ikanos based adsl modem. But all the details are in other languages.. so it is hard for me to get exact details. Does it have dyndns client available of some sort? As this is essential if you don't have a static public IP.
3) the msg "Chk your router setting to improve speed NAT-UPNP" is on my mac, in iCloud BTMM setting, and I got it in all these cases: a) connected to TC WiFi bridged to my router with 548 TCP open b) Personal Hotspot iPhone 3) US Robotics with UPNP plug&play activated.
So this means that in every case even with the iphone as hotspot.. so this is completely different to your ADSL internet connection BTMM still fails?? There is not one single configuration that works.
Perhaps you need to ring your local Apple support and see if they can figure this out. To me.. a single computer.. plugged into a modem directly.. of whatever kind, adsl or 3G or whatever.. that gets a public IP should be able to do BTMM.. but could apple be blocked in your country.
The exercise I did via the direct connection is to prove there is no block by ISP to actually connect to the TC.. which you said worked.. but there can be other blocks.
It could fail if your ISP gives you a private IP address.. same btw for the adsl connection.
You will need to check by doing a traceroute to say Google DNS server, 8.8.8.8 and see if you are connected via a private IP.. you cannot access a LAN from a double NAT which results.
4) if I am not supposed to do configurations through the net, what is the reason to have a back to my mac iCloud setting available on my Airport Express which has no hard drives and the only feature associated with BTMM is remote configuration?
If you get remote access to change a configuration.. and you make the slightest mistake.. you will not be able to access it again until you get home. So I am unsure what configuration changes to your local lan at home you need to make from remote location. Remembering that a single wrong move will lock you out permanently.
Can you please explain why you need this??

No internet via Time Capsule

This is driving me crazy, and the 2nd level tech expert at the Apple help line wasn't able to figure it out either. I've got DSL internet at home from AT&T. Internet works fine when I plug in my MB straight to the DSL modem. Also, my Time Capsule is wirelessly doing hourly backups. I can wirelessly browse the Time Capsule.
However... when I plug ethernet from the DSL modem to Time Capsule, and try to surf wirelessly, I can't access any web pages. They just time out. Even while this is going on, Time Capsule does its scheduled backups. Weird! Note: The Time Capsule was bought in Thailand. In the wireless options of Airport Utility, it is set to China. My only country choices are Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, China, Korea, Nepal, Pakistan and Taiwan. We did a firmware update hoping it would add all countries, but it didn't. Still, I'm connecting wirelessly for backups, so does the country really matter? At this point, the 2nd level expert gave up and said there was nothing he could do.

Assuming your Internet access is connected via broadband with PPPOE. You need to connect TC for connecting to Internet via PPPOE, just enter your broadband user name and password and let TC connection to Internet ALWAYS ON.
Once the Internet is connected, the TC light should be GREEN. And you can see that in the summary screen of the TC in Airport Utility as well.

Issues Accessing VPN via Time Capsule

My work has a VPN (via Palo Alto's Global Protect) set-up to allow for remote desktop connections. For some future projects, it is really important that I get this working. However, I am running into an issue that is directly related to my Apple Time Capsule (an older "flat" model, part number MC343AM/A, running the latest firmware, v7.6.4).
Basically, I can access the VPN and remote desktop no problem if I connect my computer directly to the modem (or if I tether my computer to my phone). However, if I connect the laptop to the router, then the VPN connects and is stable (as verified by my work's IT department), but I lose all other internet connectivity, and am unable to actually connect to the remote desktop. This occurs if I use WiFi or connect through ethernet, and I've verified that it happens on two different computers (an iMac, and a MacBook Pro).
I'm wondering if it is because I use a MAC address filter to assign static IP addresses to the devices on my network? Are there any other settings I should change on the Time Capsule to allow for the VPN passthrough? Before I factory reset the router and lose all of my configurations (e.g., wifi security settings, etc), I was hoping someone might have run into a similar issue and would have some advice!
Any tips would be extremely appreciated.
Best,
Matt

Before I factory reset the router and lose all of my configurations (e.g., wifi security settings, etc),
We can fix that.. export your configuration.. The TC must be open in edit area for this option to work. So at least you don't need to lose settings.
7.6.4 has some real issues with ports.. That it establishes the vpn ok is good but it is clearly not able to pass some of the ports that are required. Are you able to ping or copy files at all over the tunnel?? it might be caused by a number of things. But you should realise that once the tunnel is open the computer is working on a different subnet.. and its own internal firewall can have issues.. or other issues at the other end.
I would have a try at taking the firmware back to 7.6.1 and even 7.5.2 can be a good test.. since it is before BTMM with iCloud where the TC would also complicate things with ipsec security.
To downgrade firmware simply hold down the option key while you click the version number.

Mac connects but PC won't connect to internet via TIme Capsule wireless net

I have my personal Mac and work PC at home. I'm switching from a wireless network using my airport extreme base station to a new time capsule. Had no problems earlier, but now with my new wireless network I have the following problem:
- Both Mac and PC are able to connect to my home wireless network created through Time Capsule
- Only Mac can access the internet via the Time Capsule wireless network
- PC connects fine to the wireless network, but the settings indicate the internet cannot be accessed
I've tried fiddling with configurations etc. but cannot seem to get the PC to connect through to the internet using my Time Capsule.
The PC will connect directly to the net if I plug in the ethernet from my cable modem....What's the problem? Any ideas?

Welcome to the discussions forum AZR-DC.
The PC will connect directly to the net if I plug in the ethernet from my cable modem...
Make it a habit to power down your modem whenever you connect something different to it. Merely detaching the AEBS and attaching your Time Capsule or your computer directly will confuse most modems, so leave it powered down for a few moments. Power down your other equipment while you're at it.
Then, power up all the equipment as follows:
Modem... wait a few moments for it to complete its startup sequence.
Time Capsule. Wait a few moments again.
Computers.
Be sure your PC and your Mac are getting their addresses "via DHCP".

Problem accessing internet using time capsule after update to mountain lion

After updating my macbook air to moutain lion i am having some trouble accessing internet.
Evertytime i re-start my mac or airport utility i am able to access internet properly. After sometime when i access some particular sites, internet access goes down and i need to restart time capsule to access internet again.
Even though in airport utility internet is marked as disconnected, time capsule's indicator is still glowing green colour.
I tried deleting the com.apple.timemachine.plist file from /Library/Preferences/, but still no luck.
Is anybody else also facing the same problem? How can i resolve this problem?

Is the time capsule the only router in the network?
Try setting the lease time in the TC to very short value.. 20min or even less, 10min. It will not add signficant network traffic but might keep the Air updated to the TC.
I would also use SMB compatible name for the TC as well as wireless.. ie short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Set a different name for 5ghz so it cannot swap around.
And lock the wireless channels. Try each channel in turn, to see if any are better.

How to access data on Time Capsule?

I have which i hope is quite a simple question:
I stored all my data regularly on the time capsule via Time Machine update.

How do i find / access specific emails ??
Thank you !!!

Vista laptop can't connect to Internet via Time Capsule

I just setup my brand new 1TB Time Capsule and everything works perfectly with my iMac. Backups work and I can connect to the Internet fine. I'm using the TC as my network router, so everything will connect through the TC. My one-year old Compaq Vista laptop can connect to the Internet if the wireless security is turned off, but once I turn it on..no Internet for the laptop. It can connect and see the network, but can't get to the Internet. I've reset the TC several times trying various setting combinations and I've went through the laptop and tried to update Windows and any drivers that I thought might help, but nothing.
I have the following Wireless settings on the TIme Capsule:
- radio mode set to Auto
- radio channel selection set to Auto
- wireless security set to WPA/WPA2 Personal
Am I missing something? I can't figure if this is a settings issue, laptop issue, or a Time Capsule issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 cannot see Time Capsule drive
*Thread from:*
*http://techsupport.foreverwarm.com/time-capsule-windows*
This might be your security settings. Open the Local Security Policy utility:
%windir%\system32\secpol.msc /s
Navigate to Local Policies folder, Security Options view. Find “Network security: LAN Manager authentication level”. If it is set to “Send NTLMv2 response only” change it to “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”.
ONE PROBLEM THOUGH. I believe ONLY PROFESSIONAL versions of windows have the local policies acceptable.
