How to add Time Capsule to a Telewell ASDL Router

I tried to connect Time Capsule (2 TB a bit older model) to a Telewell ASDL Router and then run Time Machine through WiFi to Time Capsule. However, the only way I was able to make it work was to plug Time Capsule to the MacBook with an ethernet cable. When I tried to plug Time Capsule to the Telewell Router (with an ethernet cable) the internet connection of the router got disconnected. So I believe I am asking how to connect Time Capsule to the router, and if I need to do something in addition (i.e. is is possible to run two WLANs - the one from Telewell and the other from Time Capsule simultaneously?).
Thanks for your help!

Put the TC in bridge mode and plug it into the Modem.. it will work fine if you set it up before you plug it in.. I have given extremely detailed instructions here..
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5703308?tstart=0
Are you really using Snow Leopard?? If so the manual setup from 5.6 utility is a bit different but the overall information is still correct..
You can run two different WLANs without issues.. you must setup the TC to create a wireless network anyway.. do not try to extend or join the modems' wireless .. that is wrong.
It has to be plugged into the modem by ethernet.

How to connect New Airport Time Capsule to non Apple asdl router

Guys,
I have just purchased a new AirPort Time Capsule to back up the various macs in my house. I want to connect it to my wireless router which is a non apple product but the setup instructions are a little unclear to me.
My current router has simply a phone line connector and the power source coming into it. Do I simply connect an ethernet cable from the Airport to the Router. And if so, do I use the single Ethernet WAN port or one of the three Ethernet LAN ports on the rear of the airport? I assume the other end of the cable goes into any of the Ethernet slots on the back of my router which are marked 'Ethernet', or would it go into the socket marked 'Broadband WAN'?
Appreciate your help and if anyone is willing to speak on phone, I am very ahppy to call you in the next couple of hours! I am in the UK
Best, Anthony

thanks LaPastengue!
Here is what ive got
What ATT router do you have? Exact make and model please.
    gateway 2wire from at&t
What TC do you have.. Latest AC tall one?? Or older one?? If older. .please tell us the model number. A1409 for example from the base mat.
     yes I have the latest airport time capsule 2TB
Please tell us the full setup.. what is currently plugged into the main modem router??
     The Main modem route has an ethernet cord plugged in the other side of the cord is plugged into the phone      jack
Do not plug the TC in first.. plug a single ethernet TC to the computer.. Hmm. so I need an additional ethenet cord to plug the TC into the computer? Leaving the router plugged in as is?
Open the airport utility and change the TC to bridge mode.
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-23706673-32722 6/450-411/bridgev6AU.png
Update the TC and then plug it into the ATT modem and plug it into your computer or use the wireless and then tell us what happens.

How do I add time capsule to existing network?

How do I add time capsule to existing network?

Ok.. I am still confused as an Express only has one ethernet for LAN not 4. So you perhaps have an extreme..
If you have an airport extreme.. plug the TC into the extreme with ethernet.. and set it up as bridge in router.
You can also create a wireless network that works alongside the extreme.. this is the best way.
It is also possible to setup the TC to extend the wireless of the extreme.. but this will make backups much slower.. at least half the speed if not worse.

You can do it easily by loading 5.6 utility into Mountain Lion.
Here is a method. You can find others if you search or google around. Most use Pacificist which is paid software whereas this is free.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
5.6 utility has more controls than later v6 utility.
Apple moved these things to the automatic area.. but they do not always work.
Go to the wireless setup..
Hold down the option key when you select wireless mode.
There is the option, join a wireless network.. you can use it.
Please note the following.
1. When you join a wireless network, the TC will become a dumb client. Ethernet will turn off.. wireless AP will turn off.. it is simply a disk connected by wireless.
2. Backups will now be over the main retwork wireless and it will be extremely slow.. that is why it is a hidden option .. it never worked well. The TC is designed to be used by ethernet.

How big a Time Capsule do i need, I'm totally new to Mac!

Hi, how big a Time Capsule do I need in order for it to work as my backup? Let say if I bought an Imac with 2 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD and with that, bought a 2 TB Time Capsule for backup, would that be enough or would I need to buy a 3 TB Time Capsule? Thanx!

But if I buy the Imac I wrote about in my previous question (2 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD), would I then need to buy two, 2TB Time capsuls,
If you plan to fill up most of the space on the iMac right from the start, then you might need more space. Few users ever use more than about 75-80% of the space on their computers. I was figuring you would fill up about 75% of the drive....around 1.5 TB or so. 3 TB backup would be about right.
If I buy 1 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD, then 2 TB Time Capsule will be enough, right?
Correct.

How to Add Time in Date

hi,
how to add time in a date for example
date='01-jan-2005 23:00' [dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi]
time (to add)='02:00' [hh24:mi]
if any one hv any idea about. pls reply

If you can get the time element into an INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND datatype, you can simply add the interval to the date, e.g:
yourdate + NUMTODSINTERVAL(2,'HOUR')
What is tricky is converting a string like '02:00' into an interval or a number. You could generate a numeric offset with something like:
TO_DATE('02:00','HH24:MI') - TO_DATE('00:00','HH24:MI')
which can then be added to the date
SELECT TO_DATE('01-jan-2005 23:00', 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi') +
(TO_DATE('02:00','HH24:MI') - TO_DATE('00:00','HH24:MI'))
FROM dual;

How to use time capsule as main wifi router?

it is connected in bridge mode to an ethernet port, connected by a wifi modem. how to i set it as the main router and get rid of the other wifi. the phone plug wont connect because there isnt one, what do i need to get so i can plug directly to the time capsule. im not tech savy so im not quite sure what im doing.
regards, Chris

Chris,
Here are the basics:
Rule 1: If your modem/router is acting as the main router (it is), then the Time Capsule must be configured in Bridge Mode.
Rule 2: If you want the Time Capsule to be the main router, then your modem/router must be configured in Bridge Mode.
Check with the support folks of your modem/router to find out whether this is even possible, and if so, how to do it....and more importantly make sure that your Internet service provider will support this type of setup.
Another option would be to simply replace your existing modem/router with a simple bridge mode modem. Ask your ISP about this.
Until you have a clear handle on this.....we cannot help you with support on your modem/router......it would be best to leave well enough alone and stay with your current setup with the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode.

How to add time information to the first column of spreadsheet file?

hi all.
how to add time information to the first column of spreadsheet file?illustrated in the figure below。
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to take the time data and convert it to double. But Excel data is based on days since 1/1/1900 while LabVIEW data is based on seconds since 1/1/1904.
Take a look at this thread for an example I posted on how to make the conversion.
One other possibility is to convert your numeric data to a string, and build on an array of time that is also a string version of the timestamp. Then write your 2-D string array to the Write to Spreadsheet file.

How to use time capsule for wireless back-up but not internet?

Hello,
I have a tower and recently a laptop at work. The tower is connected to our local network with an ethernet cable and the laptop with wireless. So, the internet connection is fine for both.
I was hoping to use my time capsule to do time machine backups on my laptop. Do you have any advice on how to configure this? I do not want to use the time capsule to extend my Internet, as I believe my work I.T. would prefer to handle all access to their network.
Perhaps there is some documentation about doing this that you could point me to? I have not been able to find it.
Thank you for your help.

Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.
If you are asking if you can backup the Tower using Ethernet, and not wireless, then you can connect the tower to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....not the WAN port.
Yes, it appears to work without plugging into my tower.
Correct, it will work.
I just have to select the network that it created. Of course, I have no access to the Internet while this is happening and it can not auto backup, unless I am on that wireless signal.
As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection. You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

How fast would Time Capsule restore 500GB over wi-fi, Thanks

How fast would Time Capsule restore 500GB over wi-fi, Thanks

Using Ethernet, you normally get around 30 GB per hour transferred, so about 16-17 hours that way.
Wireless would be about 3-5 times slower, on average, so a very rough estimate would be 50-80 hours over wireless. Much depends on your actual wireless connection. Do you know what that is?

How will the Time Capsule support IPv6 and coop with the new emerging security threats that will emerge due to the new technical possibilities that IPv6 provide?

How will the Time Capsule support IPv6 and coop with the new emerging security threats that will emerge due to the new technical possibilities that IPv6 provide?

Cross your fingers and hope.
Obviously if there is any big or known threat Apple will send out a firmware fix.
But the TC is designed to be end user simple device. It has no firewall that is visible at any rate. I don't know that it truly doesn't have a firewall but it is not part of the end user controls.
IMO if you have major security concerns that go beyond end device firewall, which is where Apple do put most of the security, since firewall in the router is plainly not a stop to anybody deliberately downloading an infected file or website, and most end users.. do not want a firewall that prevents them using the web like a business does, where only certain ports are allowed. Everything else tough luck.. you are not allowed to use it. Then TC is unsuitable for you anyway.. buy a proper firewall appliance.

How to setup TIme capsule with a DSL router step by step?

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to conncet Time Capsule set by step through a DSL router?
I already have a DSL router, but want to connect my time capsule to that router.
Do i connect it through ethernet?, and is it possible to have my time capsule as a different router at home with a different password than the DSL router?, if so how is that possible?, is going to have the same download/upload speed as the DSL router?
Please help, thanks

You simply bridge the TC.
Plug it by ethernet into the adsl modem router and it will work fine.
nd is it possible to have my time capsule as a different router at home with a different password than the DSL router?,
No, the TC will cause trouble if you set it up as a router.. it has to be bridged. You only have a single adsl connection but there are some ISP that allow a secondary pppoe login and some modems that allow it. It is pretty difficult setup. Ask your ISP as there is often a charge that is very high for the second connection. It will still share the same link so there is no improvement in speed, merely two different authentications sharing the same line. The TC can do pppoe client but has nothing very fancy about it.

How to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

how to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

Get a vpn router.. I have no idea where you are in the world but you can find reasonable stuff for not too much money or even a general router that takes third party firmware like dd-wrt can run openvpn.
Set up the vpn router in place of the TC, as the main router in the network. Simply bridge the TC and place it behind the router. It will be accessible as part of the network via the vpn.
This is the only safe way to do it via windows.
http://www.dyncommunity.com/questions/18132/accessing-time-capsule-from-windows- 7-over-the-int.html
If you google around I have seen posts about how to access TC by port forwarding SMB on the TC.. using a different port.. To me this is going to slow down the hackers by a day or two.. then they will discover the open port and access your network.. not just the TC.. they now have SMB access to everything. Don't do it. There is very little security on SMB.

How do i link my time capsule through a virgin media router(netgear))

Hi i am trying to use. My new time capsule as the main wireless router . I have a virgin media netgear router VMDG280. rebooting the router time capsule and computer still results in a flashing amber light
Thanks
Steve

I have had the same problem but SOLVED IT this evening.
If you type in your IP address 192.168.0.1 into your google search line it launches you into your virgin media . Put in your username (in my case the default was 'admin' as I hadn't changed it and my password for my virgin media account (not the router password). this took me into the settings page to change my Superhub into a modem only. NB - you can change this back at a later date.
i then re-booted my virginmedia box and then did a soft reset on the Time Machine and BINGO.
I went into the aiport utility on my imac and it asked to create my own home network name and password. Everything works fine and connects to my new home network name in the wifi settings. The time capsule was able to see my network and is now backs up.

How to setup apple time capsule with FIOSinternet and VZ router?)

Hello,
I have Apple time capsule and the VZ Router MI424WR. I current set up:
1. VZ router - wireless off, the rest is standard
2. Time capsule: Wireless on in Bridge mode
Result: Internet works but the wireless network is very in-stable. Airtunes is nearly not usable.
I searched in the Internet and there was several comments that is is not a good combination. Therefore it is recommended to convert the VZ router in a modem mode and use only the Time capsule as the router. I tried this several times I do not get it to work. I followed this procedure (http://data.agaric.com/node/2160) but then I need the PPPoE Account number and password. But there do I get this? The Verizon support was not really helpful.
Please, is there a good and complete description to solve that issue?
Thanks in advance
Moebius

Go back to your first setup ...
Verizon router with wireless turned off
Apple Time Casule with wireless turned on
Method 1:
With the Time Capsule in "Bridge Mode", if I remember correctly, you should connect the WAN port to one of the open ports on the Verizon router (I believe bridge mode also turns off the DHCP server on the Time Capsule, if not, find that and turn if off as well).   Change the addressing mode for the Time Capsule to "static" and assign it an address on the LAN which is not in use (choose something you know is out of the way but on the LAN -- I suggest 192.168.1.180 to start -- you can change it once you get everything working).
If it doesn't work this way for you, move the cable from the WAN port on the Time Capsule to Port 1 and try again.
Method 2:
This results in a router behind a router setup, but unless you have devices connected directly to the Verizon router, it shouldn't be a problem.
With the Time Capsule disconnected from the Verizon router, turn on "Connection Sharing" (not bridge mode) and make sure DHCP is enabled on the Time Capsule. You need to change the address range being used by the Time Capsule (which I think defaults to 192.168.1.x to another network -- I suggest, 192.168.2.x with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and give the router an address of 192.168.2.1 on the LAN side. Now, connection the WAN port to one of the Verizon router LAN ports. If you had anything connected to the Verizon LAN ports, move those over to the LAN ports on the Time Capsule and reboot them.
Method 3:
This is the least desirable of the scenarios because it relies on Verizon's crappy radio in their router (the Time Capsule has a much better radio and support 802.11n as well as b and g) whereas Verizon's only support b/g.    Go back to the configuration for Method 1, but also turn OFF wireless on the Time Capsule and turn on wireless on the Verizon router.   Try both bridge scenarios described -- using the WAN port first and if that didn't work, then moving the connection to port 1.
There is no scenario where you can place the Verizon router behind the Time Capsule -- since I believe Verizon is using all MoCA connections for the WAN side of their connection (you'd have to get Verizon to convert you to ethernet WAN and then they would not support you most likely for any STB issues with your FiOS if the Time Capsule was between the ONT and their router ... so don't even bother wasting time there ... more headaches than it would be worth.
If you're still not sure exactly what each configuration screen on the time capsule should say, post some screen snaps (or the configuration settings/choices which you are unsure about and someone will likely know the answer here).
