How to connect my new Time Capsule and new Apple TV to my Airport Extreme?

Hello, I just moved into a new apartment with one DSL outlet for internet from the kitchen. I set up an Airport Extreme in the kitchen without a problem. But I don't know how to set up the TIme Capsule in my home office and the Apple TV in my living room? Can someone help me? Thank you very much!

I would try to connect the Extreme and the TC by ethernet for a more reliable and faster network. The secondary router must be in bridge mode, use Airport Utility "manual" to set that up.
Once your network is tested by yourself and reliable then power up ATV and use the remote to go to setting. Assuming you have a main computer with your itunes library setup and launched without sleeping then go to ATV settings/computers and point to your computer which has your library. ATV should give you a 5 digit code. Enter this in your itunes column on lefthand side, its self explanatory assuming in itunes preferences you have checked under ATV "look for ATV."

    Temporarily connecting your AirPort Express to one of the Time Capsule's Etherent LAN <-> ports...as LaPastenagure suggests....is always a good way to setup and configure other network devices.
    If you want to configure the Express using wireless, remember that the Express broadcasts a default wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must log on to this network first....no password is required....then open AirPort Utility to "see" the AirPort Express.

  • Setting up Air play with new time capsule and newer airport express?

    I just recently purchased a new time capsule, and I'd like to use my current generation airport express to stream music from my apple devices. I just was wondering what I had to do in airport utility to set this up?  I was also wondering how to transition the network over from the old express to the new time capsule as far  software settings go. I really appreciate the help and assistance. Thanks folks. I'm really looking forward to setting up the network for our new iMac.

    Your setup is very easy..
    This is how I would do it.
    Remove the express from the network.. ie just unplug it but do not change anything in it. Keep the configuration as is until the TC is working.
    Power off the cable modem.. this is requirement.. at least 20min is usually needed, dependining on your ISP.
    Go into the airport utility and setup the TC as router for your network .. it is a simple setup.. but I would do as stated.. all short names, no spaces pure alphanumeric rather than accept Apple's names. That is for TC and wireless.
    After 20min power up the cable modem.  Once it is running and you have internet access. you can proceed to setup the express to do the airplay. If the internet still doesn't work, power off the cable modem overnight..
    Do not lose that express setup so if you absolutely have to, you can at any time substitute it back and have internet again.
    So everything is working properly TC in place as full router.. now hard reset the express.. and simply use the airport utility to put it in extend wireless .. or plug in by ethernet if you are going to hard wire it.
    The extend wireless setup is all done straight from the existing setup.
    Now you can plug your express audio port into your speaker.. and setup the airplay via the itunes.
    I will get Bob to give you his way of doing it.. There is no one RIGHT way .. but he can give you more info if you want a particular method.

  • I have working Netgear network. Want to add new Time Capsule and run 2nd network for new apple TV and Imac, and keep the netgear network for my PC and Canon printer.

    I have working Netgear N600 dual band router network. The existing network has an XP netbook PC, canon printer, 2 Iphones, Epson Air printer, an Ipad, 3 roku boxes, backup drive. Just bought a new Apple TV box, and time capsule 2T.  I have an IMac on order but don't have it here yet.
    My goal is to add new Time Capsule and create 2nd "apple" network for new apple TV, Iphones, Ipad, Epson Air printer and new Imac, and keep the netgear network for my PC, Roku TV boxes, and Canon printer and backup drive.
    The Netgear router, the time capsule and new IMac will be on the same desktop, I dont need to backup my netbook PC to time capsule.
    Where do I start?
    Which device connects to my modem first, the TC2 or the Netgear?
    Is it best wait for the Imac before starting or can the TC2 be set up from my Ipad or PC?
    Thanks.

    It is pretty simple..
    Setup the TC in bridge and plug it into the Netgear.. I would leave the netgear as the main router for now, although in the future you can swap things around. The netgear firmware may have issues with bonjour and airplay/airprint?? Does your ipad print ok now?
    You can setup the TC using Mac, PC (at least up to win7) or iOS.. they all have airport utility available.
    Bridge mode is set differently depending on the version of the utility. This is v5 and how the windows one will look (at least similar to).
    v6 will be as
    With the TC in bridge you will still create a wireless network.. and give it a different name from the netgear.. then all the apple devices can connect to it. Use ethernet rather than wireless if the imac is on the desktop with it. Much faster and better for using Time Machine backups.
    If you run into any issues.. just post the particular issue. It will take a bit of getting used to, but isn't hard.

  • Setting up time capsule on a secure subnet of an airport extreme

    I've currently got an airport extreme and a time capsule. I'd like to set up the time capsule on a secure subnet of the airport extreme. e.g.:
    Modem -> Airport Extreme (WPA 2 enabled) -via ethernet> Time Capsule (separate subnet invisible to Airport Extreme users)
    I have a group of housemates that need to access the network over the airport extreme, but I don't want to open up my backups on the Time Capsule to network attack.
    Any reccomendations would be welcome.

    Welcome to the discussions, arbee!
    1) Connecting to the Time Capsule for setup. MUST I use Airport Utility or is there another method?
    AirPort Utility is the only application available to configure the Time Capsule
    2) Does the Time Capsule router (Airport Extreme, I assume) support PPPoE?
    During setup, you specify how you would like the device to connect, Ethernet or PPPoE
    3) I assume I can continue to let both machines connect using DHCP.
    Yes
    4) Do I need to specifically assign addresses to the wireless network or will the Time Capsule router do that automatically?
    The Time Capsule will automatically assign each wired or wireless device a network IP address

  • New Time Capsule and old AirPort Express?

    I just purchased a new 2TB Time Capsule to replace my older/smaller capacity version, which is probably four years old now. I have my TV/stereo system hooked up via wireless to a very old AirPort Express which is probably close to 10 years old now. My question is, will I get the wireless performance advantage (that I assume the new Time Capsule provides) if I am sending over to this old AP Express? Do I need to purchase a new AP Express to get better performance for the entire system? Does it matter or make a difference, performance-wise, how old the APE is?

    No. The AEBS will default to the slower 802.11b/g mode in order to talk to the AEX. To get any benefit from the wireless all the devices on the network need to support 802.11n. Replace the AEX with a new one and you will be in business.

  • Setting up brand new Time Capsule and it asks for a Password????

    Okay, so I'm attempting to setup my girlfriend's new Time Capsule with her brand new MacBook Pro but when I access Airport Utility and it tells me there's a problem with the Time Capsule accessing the internet, I then click to continue to troubleshoot the Time Capsule and it asks for a password. Now, the Time Capsule has never been used before and is fresh out of the box. WHy is there a password? I will say this detail:
    That the brand new MacBook Pro that she recently purchased, she had all over her old data and files and settings transferred from her old MacBook. I don't know if that means that it automatically installed a password or anything, but I tried using the computer administrator password and that didn't work. ANyone have any idea what's going on?

    jkwells84, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Sometimes it does help to read some documentation. Like most routers, the Time Capsule has an admin password to keep others from being mischievous and changing your settings.
    The default admin password is "public."

  • How to change loacalization of time capsule and other wifi hardware

    I have several apple machines like, time capsule and airport extreme from different countries around the world. In a globalized world I move every 3-4 years to a new country/region. In the wifi setup of the time capsule and the airport extreme you'll only find 5 or six countries (china, Korea, Japan, chile...) but nothing about Morocco or any european country. So when you try to set "restricted access" between 1 to 5 p.m., your regional setting is China, but you live some where in Europe, there is a time difference of several hours you have to take into consideration. That is a bad joke.
    There is no way of choosing a different location or setting the time as far as I know inside the setup.
    Any ideas, before I sell all my Apple stuff and buy Samsung or Fujitsu?

    Hi, you must go to Airport Utility, and in menù Disk you can change the name.

  • What is the difference between the new Time Capsule and the old Time Capsule other than capacity?

    Trying to figure out what else is new on the Time Capsule announced today.

    This is some info that was found in regards to the newly released Airport Extreme.  I would imagine that this would carry over to the new Time Capsule as well...
    According to the FCC reports, there is a significant difference in the power output of the g/n radios at both 2.4 and 5ghz.
    Follow the links, then select the "Report" for each.

  • I have just bought an airport time capsule and im trying to install an airport utility. I tried the 6 version but it wd not load because it said might mac would not support. I then tried the 5.6.1. and it said it would not work with airport capsule.

    I have just bought an airport time capsule and i am trying to install an airport utility programme to support this
    However, it seems the version 6 which came out last year - i can't use on my Mac - Snow Leopard -
    So tried to then install version 5.6.1 and although this installed properly, it says this will not support my capsule
    2. I have BT home hub 2. I presume I cannot bypass this as the internet router? I bought the time capsule for its capability to back up . The router was a byproduct. But am I correct in thinking that it acts as a secondary router or a booster rather than a primary router . I still need the BT homehub?
    if anyone can help that would be great

    You should either return the Time Capsule or upgrade your Mac at least to OS X 10.7.

  • How to connect router to time capsule

    Hello!
    I have a time capsule as a main router connected to ISP. And my plan is to connect wi-fi router NetGear WNR612 by ethernet and have another wi-fi hotspot. I plug a cable from LAN port on Time capsule to WAN port on NetGear, but cannot login to Netgear webpage to make changes in router config. How can I know IP address of a new router?
    Any ideas, thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.

    If the netgear does not have an AP mode, setup in WAN BYPASS.
    Thus..
    Connect to the Netgear direct by ether next to your computer.
    Go to the setup page and change its IP address to match the TC.. eg.. TC default is 10.0.1.1 set the Netgear to 10.0.1.254
    Turn off dhcp server in the netgear.
    Now plug it back into the ethernet in the remote location.. but to LAN port not wan. It is now an AP in the network.
    Setup wireless to roam, use same ssid (apple talk wireless name) and security but different channel to the TC. But that is up to you.. some people want roaming and others don't.. it doesn't always work.
    Locking channels on both the TC and the Netgear helps.

  • How do i use my time capsule and extend the network with airport express

    I have a new iMac and Time Capsule, how do i extend the network with airport express. My time capsule does have a guest net work, and logins and passwords? I am no computer person. So for me it would have to be spelled out.

    Use the search as this has been done to death ..
    Bob Timmons is the expert on this.. look at his answers here.

    This has been automated in the v6 utility. I am used to doing it manually in v5 utility which is also fairly easy.
    Apple doco is also good to read.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
    Note.
    You cannot extend the guest network unless everything is up to date 7.6.3 firmware. And that is only with the TC as the main router in the network.
    All apple routers can be configured as the main wireless or as the extend wireless.. so don't worry if a post uses express or extreme or TC.. they are for wireless, the same thing.

  • How can I get my time capsule and airport express (as a network extension) working properly together?

    Hi,
    I bought a time capsule a while back and connected it to my modem, and it seems to be backing up my hard drives but I can't tell if I'm getting my wireless signal from my time capsule or from the modem itself, which used to before I bought the time capsule.
    It's bugging me because I'm trying to get my airport express to work as an extension to my network, and airport utility half the time can't pick up the express. I heard that it will only work of the time capsule is working as the base station,and I'm not 100% sure this is the case.
    Also, how far can the airport express be from my time capsule for it to be picked up? I tried resetting it which helped to start with, but when I was setting it up to extend my network it just told me that there was an error and to try again, which I did with the same result.
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    Cheers

    Always do setups with ethernet.. setting up wireless via wireless is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.
    You do not need the TC in the network to do the setup.
    Plug it by itself into the computer. Same with AE. But do each separately.
    Give the TC a different wireless name.. like TC.. then you will know the TC wireless is separate and different to the main modem router. Simply allow it to be extended.
    Plug it back into the main modem.
    Now do the AE.. set it to extend the wireless of the TC.
    When you do this check the signal level. The airport utility v5 has a full diagnostic of wireless client levels.. do not use v6 utility.. it is useless. The AE is placed somewhere in between the TC and the clients you want to connect.. it has to get decent signal itself to extend wireless. And there is no way we can tell you how far apart.. pick the half way point.. around about and suck and see. If it doesn't work move closer to the TC.
    Count the walls the signal is going through.. about 15% signal loss for each one.. if angle is acute 20%.. floors are worse.. they might be 20-25%..
