How to connect time capsule with o2 wireless box IV

I have recently changed to o2 broadband. O2 supplied a wireless boxIV which is a modem router. I would like to use the wifi function of my time capsule but there seem to be no easy bridge function on the o2 wireless box IV. Any suggestions please?

If you are not able to configure the O2 device as a bridge, your remaining option is to configure the Time Capsule in bridge mode.
The Guest Network feature is not available when the Time Capsule is configured as a bridge, but otherwise, you will be able to configure it to provide a dual band wireless network for your devices and also provide Ethernet connections if needed.
You can choose to ignore the wireless network provided by the O2 device, or if you have access to the configuration settings, it should be a simple task to turn off the wireless function of the O2 gateway.

How to connect Time Capsule to existing wireless U-verse network?

I ordered a Time Capsule which I primarily want to use for back up, and at least at this point plan on using U-verse for internet access, wireless printing.
I have read many previous posts on this, and they are a little too technical for me! Would someone be willing to tell me the exact step-by-step details? I need them down to the last little thing, including what order to plug things in, power them up etc, as well as which settings to choose.
Thank you in advance for any help with this!

How to connect time capsule to existing wireless router

Hi
I am struggling to set up my time capsule is it possible to connect it to my existing wireless router or does the time capsule have to replace it as I have tried to do that but I cannot get a connection or signal to the WAN port?
I have the set up instructions but its not helping I am a complete novice at this.
Any help or links much appreciated

Yes you can.
Just plug the TC into one of the Ethernet ports on your router. WAN port on the TC.
Before you do that, set the TC up to be in 'bridge mode' in AirPort Utility.

How to use time capsule with Verizon wireless modem

What is best setup for TC and Verizon's Ultraline wireless modem. Thanks!

Bridge the TC..
I am assuming this is cable internet.. not wireless.
Just leave the Verizon doing what it is doing.. with the TC bridged you just plug it into the modem with ethernet.
To bridge the TC go to dhcp and NAT page for v6 utility.. or Internet tab for v5 utility and pick the connection sharing off bridge mode.

I want to connect Time Capsule with Time Warner modem

How do you connect Time Capsule to a Time Warner modem? I am upgrading my Wi-Fi to AC and have a Motorola modem without AC, router and WiFi. I could just upgrade the Motorola modem, but I would like to use a Time Capsule. My connection to Time Warner usesd a splitter that goes to a DVR with the other end going to the Motorola modem by way of a coax connector.

Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> port on the Motorola modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
Power up the Time Capsule for a few minutes. At this point the amber light will be blinking slowly on the device.
On your Mac....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on Other WiFi Devices
Click on Time Capsule
The utility will open up and take a minute to analyze the network, then display a window that looks like the screenshot below...except that you will see a Time Capsule on the screen.
Network Name......enter a simple name that you want to use as your wireless network name
Base Station Name....enter a simple name that you want to call the Time Capsule
Password.....enter a password that will be used for both the network and Time Capsule
Verify......verify the password
Cick Next
The utility will set up everything for you. When you see a green light on the Time Capsule, log on to the new wireless network that you have created and enter the password to connect.

How to use Time Capsule with USB HD attached

I recently bought a 500 mb TC, so am somewhat a newbie to it, and am already wondering if I should have bought the 1 Terrabyte model.
I am trying to figure out exactly how I can use the USB HD facility on the TC. Is the point of this that I can achieve extra Time Machine/Time Capsule backup-capacity automatically, i.e. if space runs out on the TC it will go to the USB HD automatically? Or do I have to choose this USB HD in Time Machine options?
Are there other ways of using the attached USB HD? For example to mirror the TC, for an extra level of safety. Or could I choose within Time Machine to backup only to this USB drive? Or could you use it as an additional Hard Drive that is nothing to do with Time Machine backups at all, just an extra HD accessed wirelessly?
Could you even add extra Hard Drives to Time Capsule with some sort of USB hub or in a chain.
I can't seem to find info about this in manual , so replies gratefully received.

The 500GB model is a much better value. As you've stated, you could add more HDD capacity when the prices come down.

No, TM cannot span from the current backup (internal TC HDD) to the USB HDD connected
Or do I have to choose this USB HD in Time Machine options?
Yes, you have to choose it. It also needs to be formatted HFS+ if it already isn't. You can only format the USB HDD when connected to your Mac. Disk Utility does not work on the TC HDD nor the USB HDD connect to the TC.
Are there other ways of using the attached USB HD? For example to mirror the TC, for an extra level of safety.
Yes, via AirPort Utility -> Disks -> Archive. It clones the internal HDD. It is NOT incremental.
Or could I choose within Time Machine to backup only to this USB drive?
No, TM cannot backup a NAS (i.e. the USB HDD connected to the TC).
Or could you use it as an additional Hard Drive that is nothing to do with Time Machine backups at all, just an extra HD accessed wirelessly?
Yes.
Could you even add extra Hard Drives to Time Capsule with some sort of USB hub or in a chain.
Yes.

Lots of good questions. You are right that the info isn't in the manual.

How to connect Time Capsule?

I am looking for a backup solution and I am consider a Time Capsule. Consider the following situation:
Mac Pro
Leopard
I have a few questions:
1. Can I connect the Time Capsule via ethernet and direct Time Machine to backup to the Time Capsule using ethernet?
2. If I do not use ethernet, can I use the USB port on the back of the Time Capsule to connect to my Mac Pro and use it with Time Capsule that way?
3. What hard drive manufacturer is used in the Time Capsule?
4. I understand the Time Capsule has built in WI-FI, but if I do not want to use WI-FI for back-up what are my other options if 1&2 do not work above to connect Time Capsule to my Mac Pro?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Welcome to the discussions!
+"1. Can I connect the Time Capsule via ethernet and direct Time Machine to backup to the Time Capsule using ethernet?"+
Certainly.
+"2. If I do not use ethernet, can I use the USB port on the back of the Time Capsule to connect to my Mac Pro and use it with Time Capsule that way?"+
No, this is not possible. The USB port will support compatible printers and an outboard USB drive.
+"3. What hard drive manufacturer is used in the Time Capsule?"+
Difficult to say. I'm sure Apple uses different suppliers. The only way to know is to open up the Time Capsule (voiding the warranty). The "Get Info" command may possibly supply some general information.
+"4. I understand the Time Capsule has built in WI-FI, but if I do not want to use WI-FI for back-up what are my other options if 1&2 do not work above to connect Time Capsule to my Mac Pro?"+
You can connect to the Time Capsule via ethernet or wireless. If you do not intend to use the wireless capability of the Time Capsule at all, you can turn off the wireless using AirPort Utility, the setup application that is used to configure the Time Capsule.

How to access time capsule with an old mac

I recently upgraded from an old 12" PowerBook G4 to one of the new MacBook Pros. I also purchased a Time Capsule, am using it as my wireless router, and have been making regular backups with Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had to send away my new MacBook because of an equipment failure even though I just got it three weeks ago (that's another story). So I'm back on my old PowerBook for the time being. I'd like to manually grab some files from the Time Capsule so I can pick up my work where I left off but I don't know how to access the Time Capsule with this PowerBook. It doesn't appear in my finder like it does on the MacBook. Can someone help me out? Thanks a lot!
Brendan

pretty sure you need at least 10.4 to use your TC as a HD

if you have 10.4, you would install this to gain access to yout TC:

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.

Connecting Time Capsule with WildBlue Satellite Service

HELP! Please...
I am trying to set up Time Capsule to work with my satellite service, WildBlue, and I can't get it working properly.
Before WildBlue was installed, I connected my iMac and my wife's iMac (it's on Mac OS 10.5.0), one at a time, with Time Capsule directly via Ethernet and back-up each iMac.
WildBlue satellite service was installed yesterday and the installer had no idea how to hook everything up. It was his first install. I was able to connect the WildBlue modem via Ethernet directly to my wife's Mac and made it work. When I try to add the Time Capsule, that's where I run into problems.
I ran the Ethernet cable from the WildBlue modem to the Internet WAN port on Time Capsule and I could not get it to work at all via AirPort. I tried using AirPort Utility and System Preferences - Network and could not get anything to work. I then ran an Ethernet cable from one of the four Ethernet plugs on the back of Time Capsule to the Ethernet plug on the back of my wife's iMac and was able to connect to the internet and get email on her Mac. I tried to run Time Machine, but it can't find Time Capsule! The only way it seems that I can get her iMac to do anything is to either connect it directly to the modem without Time Capsule or run the Ethernet cable thru Time Capsule to the iMac and not be able to connect to Time Machine. I still could not connect my iMac (it's on Mac OS 10.5.4) via Airport no matter what I did.
Can someone help me so that I can get Time Capsule connected and working the way it should?
My understanding is that I should be able to connect Time Capsule to the WildBlue modem via Ethernet and then connect my wife's iMac directly to Time Capsule via Ethernet and still be able to run Time Machine to back-up her iMac. Her iMac and the WildBlue modem sit in the same room together and my iMac is on the other side of the house where I want to use AirPort to connect to Time Capsule so that I can back-up my iMac and have access to the internet. If this isn't the way it is going to work can someone explain it to me on how it should and how I should set everything up to work correctly?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me.

You can, but devices connected to the D-Link switch will drop to a maximum of 100 Mbps speeds. The Time Capsule supports 1,000 Mbps or Gigabit speeds.
If you plan to transfer a lot of files using Ethernet, the numbers speak for themselves.

Using Time Capsule with existing wireless router

I am thinking about getting a TC, but I wanted to know if the following configuration would work:
DSL modem to existing wireless B router. Then have the TC recieve internet from the existing wireless router.
Basically I want to put the old router in the basement where the only wiring is, but put the TC upstairs on my desk so I can connect the printer to it.
Thanks!

Although, you can join an existing network using a Time Capsule as a wireless client, it’s recommended that the existing network is an 802.11n network.

Using Time Capsule with 2nd wireless router

Hi,
I have been trying to extend my time capsule and have had limited luck.
I have my time capsule in my office which is a separate building behind my house. The cable internet service runs to this location. I purchased an airport express and put that in the house so we would have wireless access in the house. I have tried every location available in the house and it is still really slow. (I get a transmit rate of 270 in the office. In the house it ranges from 7 to 20).
So, I was thinking maybe I could run a 30ft or so ethernet cable from the time capsule to another wireless n router in the house. So when out in the office I would connect to the TC and in the house to the Linksys (or whatever I buy). My question: would this even work? Can I have 2 wireless routers and would the Linksys work if it was connected via ethernet to the timecapsule vs. being connected directly to the cable modem?
Alternatively, can you connect 2 cable modems to one incoming cable line if I could find another cable modem somewhere?

Sure, happy to help.
Temporarily, move the Express close to your computer and connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the Express for the configuration.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Select your AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode...set to Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name...Exact same name as your Time Capsule network
Radio Mode....802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) would be a good choice
Wireless Channel...Automatic
Wireless Security....Exact same setting as your Time Capsule network
Wireless Password....Exact same setting as your Time Capsule network
Wireless
Click the Internet icon
Look for the setting for Connection Sharing at the bottom of the page and set this to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update at the lower right of the window and close AirPort Utility immediately and disconnect the ethernet cable as soon as you see the message that your settings have been stored.
You can now move the Express to the location you need and connect the ethernet cable and power it up.

How to connect Time Capsule wirelessly (without hard wire connection)

Okay, so just bought a Time Capsule, and in the process of setting it up, I am being told by Airport Utility that I need to hardwire the TC to my wireless router in order for it create a network.....
My question: Is there anyway around this? Is there anyway I can create an extended WiFi connection thru the TC without hardwiring? I have a wifi extender (NetGear universal wifi range extender WGN3000) and was hoping that TC would connect to it and act as a second extender relay.
I hope my question is clear.
Also, is my understanding correct that if the TC is not hardwired, and it does not possess a wireless connection, then in order to backup my computer, I must connect to the basestation in Airport, and during that time I will be unable to use the internet??
THanks!!

We always say to people do the first backup by ethernet anyway.. wireless takes far too long.. once you are just doing incremental then it is ok by wireless.
But wireless halves in speed for every hop.. so make sure there is only ever one wireless link between the TC and the computer if at all possible. If you join it by wireless to the network.. you will have no gain.. and lots of pain.. plus half what are already poor speeds.. so you may as well just connect to the router by ethernet.. and bridge the TC.. you can then also setup wireless .. particularly 5ghz which the rest of your network probably doesn't use so you have a faster than normal link both to internet and TC for backup.. when you are in the same room.. link at 5ghz gives great speed and poor range.. go more than one room away and it will generally fall away to nothing.

CONNECT TIME CAPSULE WITH AT

how do i set up apples time capsule to work with at&t 2 wire modem 2701 hg-b

The basic setup would involve connecting an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2-Wire router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
Then configure the Time Capsule using AirPort Utility on your Mac or PC.
I assume that you plan to use the existing wireless network on the 2-Wire router and not use the wireless capability of the Time Capsule for your hookup.
If you will let us know what operating system your Mac is using, we can provide step by step setup instructions if you need them.
If you are not sure what operating system your Mac is using, click the Apple icon at the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac for the OS X version number.
