How to configure Airport Time Capsule with IP Camera?

I have recently switched from a DLINK Router (DIR-655) to the latest 3TB Airport Time Capsule. The ATC works great, super fast etc...
However...
I had an IP Camera (Trendnet TV-IP572-WI) connected to my DLINK Router, using a Dynamic DNS account (dyndns) to access if from outside my home (i.e. from the Internet). The configuration on the DLINK was quite straightforward. (Virtual Server)
Question: How to do the same with Airport Time Capsule ?  I had a look at the detailed settings menu in the Airport Configuration Utility. but cannot find anything like this (Virtual Server, Port Forwarding etc...)
Many thanks for your help !

What is the make and model number of your "modem"?
Most modems these days are actually modem/routers or gateway devices....which would require that the port forwarding be done on the "modem"....not on the Time Capsule.
If you did not see any settings for DHCP Reservations and Port Settings when you looked around in AirPort Utility, this indicates that the Time Capsule is likely configured to operate in Bridge Mode.......and it is your "modem" that is actually the router for the network.
Open up AirPort Utility again, click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the window
Check the setting for Router Mode.......which is likely set to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Is it?

  • How to use airport time capsule with multiple computers?

    I'm sure there are some thread about this but i couldn't find it... so sorry for that but hear me out! =)
    I bought the AirPort Time Capsule to back up my MBP
    And so i did.
    then i thought "let give this one a fresh start" so i erased all of it with the disk utility and re-installed the MBP from the recovery disk.
    I dont want all of the stuff i backed up just a few files and some pictures so i brought that back.. so far so good.
    Now i want to do a new back up of my MBP so i open time machine settings, pick the drive on the time capsule and then "Choose" i wait for the beck up to begin, and then it fails.  It says (sorry for my bad english, im swedish haha) "the mount /Volume/Data-1/StiflersMBP.sparsebundle is already in use for back up.
    this is what i want:
    i want the "StiflersMBP.sparsebundle" to just be so i can get some stuf when i need them. it's never to be erased.
    i want to make a new back up of my MBP as if it's a second computer...
    so guys and girls, what is the easiest and best solution?
    Best regards!

    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.

  • How to setup AirPort Time Capsule with static IP?

    Untill few days ago I have been using Airport Extreme as router for my network. It was cabled to the modem from my internet-provider.
    I had 2 printers, 1 iMac, 1 MB-Pro, several SONOS-devices, iPhone, Loewe-TV and iPad setup for it.
    AND IT HAS BEEN WORKING GREAT FOR MORE THAN 4 years
    Then I bought my new Time Capsule:
    It is connected in the same way as the Extreme but now via a static IPadress.
    The Airport-Utility says that I am using these set-ups:
    Internet - connection "DHCP"
    Network - "DCHP+NAT"
    The STATUS is:
    "DOBB. NAT"-message at the Airport-utility.
    Internet-connection is VERY-good and with high-speed.
    I am NOT able to get connection to the TV - it shows 100% connection but will NOT allow me to connect to it (password IS correct:-)
    It is only possible to get connected to the one SONOS Play:5 which is connected to the Internet - all the other devices can only be connected when I change the network-setting in AirportUtility from "DCHP+NAT" to "OFF (bridge)".
    I have been told that when I am using a static IP-adress for my Airport then "DCHP+NAT" is the right setting in order to make the Airport set-up dynamic-adresses for the wireless connected devices.
    I am not very-clever in this - but an old man who wants to get the right advice from a clever-person in order to find a solution.
    ANYONE inhere who wants to help me?
    THANK YOU in advance,

    I am unclear as to what has a static IP address. And why did you change the setup.. Would it not have worked in exactly the same way as the Extreme?
    Is the static address in the WAN setup or the LAN side setup?
    Lan side it should be fine.. WAN side is not fine. There are strict rules to apply to using static IP on WAN.
    If you can fill that in, it will help me understand the rest.
    Also have you updated the firmware in the TC yet? As soon as you have a WAN connection please do a firmware update as there are major issues with SONOS.. which requires Spanning Tree Protocol to work. Apple bungled that one in the first firmware of the TC.. so you must have 7.7.2 and I am not sure it is fully repaired even in that.
    I hope you did not reset your AE yet.. sometimes it is better to stick with what works and use the TC in bridge to it.

  • I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

    I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

    On your Mac.......
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
    Click Erase Disk
    On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
    The operation will only take a few minutes.
    Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs.  Back up one Mac first, then back up the other.  Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

  • 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.

  • How to connect Airport Time Capsule to WD Live TV

    I recently bought an Airport Time Capsule with 2tb storage. I am wanting to access the media files I save to the Time Capsule on my WD TV Live. I have tried doing wirelessly and it works but if I shut my computer it disconnects and wont automatically connect to it even if my computer is open. I keep having to delete and readd the Time Capsule as a media share server everytime I want to access the files. What am I doing wrong???
    The bigger question I had is since the Time Capsule has a USB port and so does the WD TV, can I just connect them and access the files via usb to usb??? I dont mind using wifi to connect but if it can be done I would rather connect without wifi so that if my internet goes on the fritz I can still watch movies and stuff from the time capsule hard drive.
    Thank you all for any and all help!!!

    The media files on the TC are in what format? WD Live can read almost any format but it cannot read iTunes Libraries.
    There is a fairly long discussion already on getting WD to read movies from a TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5226379?start=0&tstart=0
    Note the info there.
    eg SMB naming for the TC.. this is most important. Standard Apple names will be problematic at best.. useless and non-functional at worst. Make sure the WD Live sees everything in the network with standard windows names.
    The bigger question I had is since the Time Capsule has a USB port and so does the WD TV, can I just connect them and access the files via usb to usb???
    No, you cannot do that. The USB on the TC is for plugging in a printer or a hard disk. It has no access whatsoever to the internal disk.
    However the WD live can present its USB disk to the network. So if you simply plug a USB hard disk into the WD live. And you can then copy your movies to the WD over ethernet or wifi (ethernet is obviously faster) but once on the USB drive then it won't matter if the internet is off or even the local LAN and wifi is off as the WD can still play the movies. IMHO that is the best way to do it.

  • Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?

    Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?

    Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?
    Very very poorly..
    It can join a wireless network..
    See instructions here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5719954?tstart=0
    End result is super slow wireless connection to the TC and all packets pass through the hotspot so expect internet to drop to nothing while you are backing up.

  • Configuring my Time Capsule with a Comcast modem

    Configuring my Time Capsule with a Comcast modem. I had an outage and the time capusule had a pop up that said change something, I did, didn't fix the problem, but now I can't get wireless networking, but the MacPro connected by ethernet works fine.

    Redo the setup.. press and hold the reset for about 10sec and redo it.
    This time set wireless using simple name, no space and pure alphanumeric.
    Lock the wireless channels as that also helps.
    Wireless on an old Gen1 can get pretty tired.

  • Airport time capsule with a mac mini

    so can i use airport time capsule with a mac mini

    What do you want to do with it??
    The TC is designed as a network target for TM on any Mac computer.. so of course it will work with a mini.
    It is also a standard wireless router for a network.. that will work on any network client device..
    It is NOT designed as a NAS.. ie network storage.. I recommend people not use it for that purpose. But people can do stuff that I don't recommend.
    Good luck when the TC dies and their files are all lost.
    Did you want to do something different to the norm??

  • How do I install Airport Time Capsule with ATT Uverse when two of my modems are wireless?

    I recently purchased an Airport Time Capsule so that I can back up multiple Apple devices. I currently have ATT Uverse and my internet provider. Also, two of my modems are wireless. How can I set up the Time Capsule so the the two wireless modems will still work?

    I think you are using wrong terminology so can I ask exactly what is the model number of the wireless modem??
    The Uverse is already a router.. and I guess you have cable service.. so there is no need for more modems.. more likely you mean you have two wireless routers and these should be setup as Wireless Access Points.. (WAP or AP). If they are working as routers then you have far too many routers. If they are working as modems you have far too many modems.
    It is impossible to tell you how to setup the TC until we know what the setup is.
    But let me suggest the most straight forward approach is to plug the TC into the Uverse by ethernet (it cannot be used by wireless.. so this is necessary). Run the TC in bridge mode.. and create a wireless network. Test if you then can access it from your network client devices and do backups from Macs.. if so there is no need for the wireless modems.. leave them off.

  • How can I make my new AirPort Time Capsule with VOIP?

    I purchased an AirPort Time Capsule because of the modem capability. The modem we have from the phone company isn't very good.
    Now I have a little problem. I forgot we have our phone over internet and I cannot figure out how to set it all up.
    Any ideas for my latest problem? I'd run back to the store/genius bar, but it's a ferry ride away and I'm not sure it would do any good to go back because all my phone "stuff" (cords, etc) wall jacks, is all here.
    Current set up is this:
    Modem box has ethernet (yellow) cable going from it to imac. It also has blue cable going from it to ATA Router (smaller black box). Each box (white larger "modem" box, and black smaller ATA Router) have a phone cord going from wall (2 separate jacks) to the box. And obviously each has it's own power cord.
    I tried moving all plugs from white modem box to AP TC, but there really isn't a phone jack on back of APTC. It clicked in place in one of the <--> ports, but I'm getting a flashing amber light on the front, and no internet connection.
    Any ideas for my latest issue?? I know so much more about computers than I ever wanted to know, but it obviously isn't enough.
    Thanks!

    I purchased an AirPort Time Capsule because of the modem capability.
    There is no modem in the airport routers.. they are all plain ethernet routers.
    It sounds like you have adsl modem.. and I would just leave it alone.
    But if you want to play and your ISP supports PPPOE and the modem allows bridging or bridge mode.. then you can bridge the modem and use TC to establish the link to the ISP.. on the internet tab use PPPOE and put in your ISP username and password.
    You can then plug the ATA into one of the LAN ports of the TC.
    Overall this is probably not a great idea.
    Exactly what modem are you talking about .. make and model from the base please?? Who is your ISP?
    What model is the ATA? Actual model numbers from it please.
    Generally you will plug the TC into the modem and use simple bridge mode.
    Even though the airport wizard might attempt to take over as main router.. please do the setup manually and choose bridge mode.
    See Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule

  • Using Airport Time Capsule with an external usb hard drive - how to connect

    I have 2TB Airport Time capsule which is connected to my iMac by an ethernet cable and which I use for T.Machine backups - No problems here.
    I have an old MacBook Pro running 10.6.8  and which is also connected to my T/C via wi-fi - again no problems.
    But I understand I can use an external hard drive via usb cable connected via a powered hub, to the T/Capsule and which I wish to do certain backups from my MBP (I have no wish to update the MBP as it runs certain apps no longer available on the iMac (10.9.2)
    Now the problem I have is trying to set it up,  the MBP has Airport Utility 5.6.1 and I can’t continue as it says I need a newer version. As I see it,  the newer version doesn’t work on the MBP only  the iMac.
    A catch 22 situation. If I continue and and go to “manual setup” then try  update, all I get is “correct the problem before updating”  (Allow setup over the internet using Bonjour).
    Anyone have any ideas or images that I can view to try and get things going?
    I should add that I wish to use my external hard drive not as a time machine backup but only for certain items using say, Super Duper, but am unable to get the disk to mount on the MBP
    Alan

    I still can't use it the way I was hoping because it then becomes a T/M back-up disk and not a normal usb/firewire disc.
    You are first mounting the drive on the desktop, correct?
    Not sure what you mean here.
    You can drag/drop files normally or copy/paste files to the drive icon on the desktop, just as you would a normal drive that is displayed on the desktop.
    Or, double click the drive icon on the desktop and drag/drop files into the open window there.
    Tell us the steps that you are using to mount the drive on the desktop. What happens after each step?

  • Using Airport Time Capsule with CenturyLink C1000Z

    I just received an Apple Airport Time Capsule (3Tb) for Christmas and want to use it as our home wi-fi.  Up until now, we have been using the wi-fi which is supplied by our DSL carrier (CenturyLink) through the C1000Z router/dsl modem combo they supplied when we started service with them.
    Here's how I have it set up:
    1) Wall to CenturyLink C1000Z
    2) CenturyLink C1000Z to Apple Airport Time Capsule 3Tb
    3) Apple Airport Time Capsule 3Tb to iMac (direct Ethernet connection)
    I plugged everything in as described above and everything "seems" to be working.  My question is:
    Do I need to configure anything special in either the Airport TimeCapsule or the CenturyLink C1000Z to make this setup work better?
    When I go into the Airport Utility and select "Network" the Router Mode shows "Off (Bridge Mode)", with Network Options showing "Block incoming IPv6 connections" and "Allow incoming IPSec authentication" checked by default.  The internet tab shows connection using DHCP, with Internet Options configuring IPv6 automatically using IPv6 Native mode, with "Enable IPv6 Connection Sharing" checked.
    I've read in some sites that I need to configure the CenturyLink C1000Z in a special way, or my internet speeds will be negatively affected by this setup.  Can someone please assist?  CenturyLink tech support was of absolutely no assistance in this area, even unwilling to try.  Thanks for your help--I look forward to the education!

    There is nothing wrong with the setup. ADSL is never that fast.. Do the speed tests and see. Plug straight into the modem and do a speedtest.. then plug into the TC and do the test..
    Is the Mac not getting full speed?
    What makes you think your losing something?
    No ISP can help with home network.. I can understand their reluctance to get involved.. that is the case anywhere and everywhere. Home networking can go from simple to complex in the extreme very quickly.
    The most important part of this setup to your original specs is not mentioned.
    I just received an Apple Airport Time Capsule (3Tb) for Christmas and want to use it as our home wi-fi.
    To use it as your home wifi, it is essential that you create a wireless network in the TC.. there is no need to turn off the wifi in the Century modem router although doing so is probably a good idea if the two are sitting right next to each other.
    Otherwise tell us what issues you are having.
