How to connect to ethernet and wireless on AirPort Time Capsule?

New 2TB AirPort Time Capsule. I have a Motorola SurfBoard modem (modem only). The AirPort is replacing a Wireless N router. The wireless setup was a breeze, but ethernet ports do not work when AirPort is configured for DHCP (or DHCP and NAT). If I change it to Bridge all of my eNet devices work perfectly, but then I don't have wireless. I could not find any documentation on how to configure this correctly. I called Apple Care, but they were unable to help at all. Apple Care told me to bring the AirPort back to the Apple store to test it. Has anyone successfully setup the new AirPort Time Capsule to replace a wireless router?

Hi,
So about 24 hours after getting mine to work it suddenly stopped.
None of the above resetting procedures worked.
Then a really goofy thing happened. I was in AirPort Utility and I had just received the error message that the set up did not work as I was trying to hard reset everything and start over for the 3rd or 4th time.
Just then my Wi-Fi only iPad chimed with an incoming text message. The time capsule was flashing amber which would indicate that it had not set up a network. AirPort Utility was showing that an unknown error had occurred and that I should try again. Despite this my iPad 2 was showing a good connection to the wireless network that I had tried to create in AirPort Utility but which it told me me had failed.
I then clicked the wifi thing on the tool bar, it connected to my network and all was good.
My 2 cents? This should still be in beta as Airport Utility and the new TC are not working as they should. I'm in 10.7.5 and 6.1.4 and the latest AU.

How to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

how to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

Only for the very brave......
Open up the Time Capsule (voids the warranty)
Pull the hard drive
Place the hard drive in a separate enclosure
Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
Use Disk Utility to partition the hard drive
Reinstall the hard drive back in the Time Capsule
For the rest of us.....
The next best thing might be to set up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule, which will allow you reserve a given amount of space for each disk image.
Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the New Image tab
Navigate to the Time Capsule
Set up the disk image by naming it and specifying how much space you want to reserve

Synch macbook and iMac using airport time capsule

I have macbook pro and iMac. I connected both of them to the airport time capsule and everything is going ok. My question is: Can I enter the backup of iMac from the macbook pro and vice versa? I want to easily synchronise both machines

I don't think after an initial migration this is going to work very well.
Do a search for ways to synch your machines.

How can i save a folder into my airport time capsule (2TB)

How can i save a folders into my Airport Time Capsule (TB)

Saving data on the same disk drive that Time Machine is using for backup is not a good idea.
By having the extraneous data on that disk drive in the Time Capsule that will made the job of cleaning up for backup that much more difficult for Time Machine and usually causing it to fail when it can't clean up properly.
In addition any extraneous data on the disk drive being used for Time Machine can't be backed up so it can be protected from lose.

How to backup all macs to the same airport time capsule?

How to backup all macs to the same airport time capsule?

They must all have access to the Wi-Fi network. Each computer should configure the Time Machine preferences and select the Time Capsule as the backup drive.

Have the following iMac at home and am contemplating adding a MacBook Air and a 2TB Airport Time Capsule for backup/storage and increased WiFi speeds. My question is this (1) a compatible setup, and (2) will my older iMac slow down the WiFi speeds? Man

Have an older iMac and am contemplating adding a new MacBook Air and a 2TB Airport Time Capsule to increase WiFi speeds. My question is (a) is this a compatable setup and (b) will the older iMac slow the WiFi speeds?
Thanks

Be careful about mixing Time Machine backups and other data on the TC's disk. That will cause conflicts, sooner or later. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds.

How to backup a PC and a Mac to time capsule

I want to purchase a 3TB airport time capsule, but how do i set it up to back up both my PC and my Mac computers? and can my college student also back up or save her data remotely from her location to our home network?

You can backup a PC to the TC.. but if the PC runs home version software you will need a backup software that can handle network drives.. MSBackup cannot do it.
Macs of course are pretty well automatic.. Time Machine will in theory at least find the TC no problems.
Remote backup is a bad idea. Use a small 2.5" USB drive.. and then backup during visits home. The problem with remote backup is that any disconnection will corrupt the backup.. and disconnection is another name for the internet.. if it doesn't happen today it will tomorrow or the day after.

MacBook Pro loses connection to Internet after sleep using Airport Time Capsule

I recently upgraded to Mavricks and then added a new Airport Time Capsule, and now I my MBP will not connect to the wireless LAN after waking up from sleep mode. My MBP worked great for over a year with an non-Apple router, so I am thinking that there is a new Apple computer-to-Apple Router issue going on. Any thoughts, suggestions?
I read all the threads and have followed all the simple advice, such as making sure the Airport is at the top of the network priority list, etc, to no avail. I end up having to reboot my MBP to get reconnected, which is super frustrating.

Hello ghesser,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro after setting up your Time Capsule. I would be concerned about this too.
I recommed reviewing the full article and specifically the section labeled, "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly" in the following article to resolve an issue like the one you described:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Community.

How to extend mobile wifi LTE with 2013 AirPort Time Capsule 2TB

At my home Im using HUAWEI E5776 4G/LTE mobile wifi for the internet/wifi connection and its working perfectly
Recently I bought 2013 AirPort Time Capsule 2TB, and Im trying to extend HUAWEI E5776 4G/LTE wifi connection with this Airport Time Capsule
Im using iMac airport utility but it seems there was a "crash" when I had choose the extending option, As it went nowhere
Does this airport can only be used with internet cable ?
I also have an old version of Airport Extreme which i can actually extend HUAWEI E5776 4G/LTE mobile wifi connection
I assume perhaps there is something need to be updated?
Other questions are
- iPhoto, would it be possible or "wise" to have all of my pictures in this airport and all of my Apple products can access it?
- iTunes, the same questions As above
because i get tried to have "double/triples or more" iPhoto/iTunes libraries in every of my iMac, MacAir, Macmini etc
Thanks for your help

The instructions for upgrade install of DD-WRT are very clear.. and simple although you should always take care. I read the instructions and follow them.. It might seem like obvious but 90% of the issues people get themselves into is caused by not reading the instructions.
DIR-632 has a set of specific instructions.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/D-Link_DIR-632
Follow them to the letter deviating neither to the left or the right.
And good results will follow.
As with any products in the domestic realm.. some are excellent .. some average and some stink real bad.
I have dealt with rotten products from all the major companies. Netgear still have plenty of stinkers out there.
Any universal wireless repeater should work.. be careful though with some products are actually not UNIVERSAL. I do take great care again to find out if people can use the Netgear with products from another brand. All wireless is voodoo .. wireless across brands is like voodoo plus plus.
My current Asus router is one of the best I have owned .. RT-AC66U.. far superior to what went before.
And I usually avoid dlink like the plague, but it is important to realise that amongst the dross there can still be specks of gold.

I have a MacBook Pro 13" and am using Airport Time Capsule and iCloud. I delete my cookies all the time, but every so often the cookies reappear after rebooting. It is the exact same amount of cookies each time, so I wonder why they're being reloaded?

I have a MacBook Pro 13" (2010) running OS X 10.9.2 and have Airport Time Capsule. I routinely delete my cookies and often (every couple days or so) when I reboot, a number of cookies reappear in my Safari settings. The number of cookies that reappear is exactly the same when it does it (351 cookies) so I'm wondering if it is related to my Airport Time Capsule or possibly iCloud? How do the cookies get back into my MacBook Pro? Or.... Have they ever actually left? Befoer I reboot, I delete them and sometimes they stay gone for 24hrs or more, but then reappear the next time I reboot. Can someone tell me if there is a way to clear the cookies so they won't come back?

Blocking all cookies in Safari does not work. Deleted cookies will not stay deleted. There are numerous threads on this going back years, both in these forums and elsewhere. Many claim to have submitted the issue to Apple, but I have never seen anyone post a reply.
I have seen many suggested fixes that involve finding the cookies file, some including Terminal manipulations, and none seems to work universally. I can find noplace where Apple addresses this officially with an actual Apple-approved explanation or how-to.
Bottom line, your browser's security features should do what they claim: delete cookies. When they come back without ever even visiting another page, this is clearly not working in the way a reasonable user would expect.
Bottom line, Safari does not protect users' privacy in the way it pretends to and, after so many years of this issue, it appears that Apple wants it this way.
Having spent way too much time on this, I realize the choice is between Safari which is pretty well optimized; Firefox which is a lot pokier, at least for me; and Chrome, which I assume funnels personal information directly to Google.

Connect a new macbook to existing airport time capsule

How do I connect my new macbook pro to the airport time capsule i currently have in my house

Just go to System Preferences / Time Machine / Select Disk option, then your Time Capsule should list there, select it then follow normal step to set it up.

Have a static IP for internet access - how do I replace my Linksys wireless router with Time Capsule?

Have 5 macs on an ethernet network - some wired and some wireless to a Linksys router. My provider uses static IP and DSL for internet access. I am replacing an existing Linksys router with the Time Capsule. The Static IP settings I have are IP address, Gateway, Mask, primary DNS and secondary DNS. The Airport Utility is not as straight forward as the Linksys setup. There is not a place to list gateway. Consequently I am unable to connect to the internet and am back on the Linksys router until I get this resolved. Any suggestions would be much appreciated !

You enter the static public IP address info on the TCP/IP tab within the Airport Utility. For a static address, use Configure IPv4 = Manually. You use the Router field for the Gateway address.

Airport Time Capsule stop send wireless signal, Airport Time Capsule stop send wireless signal

After instaling several times, alway after a while the wireless router stop sending the signal, or does not start up like in the morning, especially from a windown computer.
Out house have several computers in Windows and Mac, iphones and ipads and itouch mac book pro,
How come the router will not start up after a "night of rest"

Unfortunately, a solid amber is light is not a good sign.
Try a complete Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule using the steps below. This procedure will not affect any of the data that you have stored on the internal hard drive.
Power off the Time Capsule for 15-20 minutes or longer
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule first, and keep holding for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the Time Capsule
Release the reset button after the 9-10 hold period and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
The Time Capsule light should normally stay solid amber for about 30 seconds and then change to a slow, blinking amber light, indicating that the Time Capsule has been reset and it can now be reconfigured.
If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times and the light stays solid amber, unfortunately the hard drive has failed, or there is an internal power supply issue with the Time Capsule.
You should take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store.....if you have one in your area.....or contact Apple Support directly to discuss your options.
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
If the Time Capsule is out of warranty or not covered by AppleCare, Apple will not offer repairs but there are some shops that specialize in this type of repair. See this link for more details:

I can't connect to the drive on my airport time machine and am receiving the message: "AirPort Time Capsule" can't be opened because the original item can't be found.

Time capsule has been working perfectly for months.
Suddenly I can't connect to the drive on my airport time capsule and am receiving the message: “AirPort Time Capsule” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.
Time machine appears to be still backing up (last backup within the last hour), but drive is not visible and I have files stored on it.
I have tried rebooting everything in order as suggested for other issues, anyone got any ideas how to see the drive again??

What OS are you running??
It is very typical Yosemite issue.
1. In airport utility does the TC show up.. if so click it.. and see the summary page which will include its IP address. That is what you are after.
From my screenshot you can see the TC address is 192.168.2.57
It might well show up briefly after a reboot or in ipad / iphone version utility. Yosemite is hopeless. The airport utility hardly works.
2. In Finder use Go, Connect to server.
Type in SMB://192.168.2.57 (replace with IP you discover).
If it is possible it will request a password.. type that in and DO NOT FORGET.. to store it in your keychain.
This will work until the TC changes IP which won't happen if it is main router.. but will happen if it is bridged.. so you need to tell me the whole network setup.
Mavericks is nearly as bad and the above instructions should be universal except I would use AFP instead of SMB. Apparently Yosemite is now totally Windows oriented.

How to set up AirPort + Time Capsule On the Same Network but make it so only i use it?

Ok so i am planning on getting the AirPort + Time Capsule in a few weeks, and i have seen many peole talk about how there is a right way and wrong way to set it up because apperently the bad way makes it run slow? Well i have two questions, one is how do i set it up the right way to use it to the full potential to use the new beamforming feature? And my second question which is kind of a problem is that I have internet already but my other brothers use it and i told them about pitching in buy it and they dont want to because they think its pointlesss, so what i want to know is if I can connect it to my existing wi-fi but at the same time like create a diffrent network so that only i can use it? (ex. have my wifi, 2WIRE123 for example, and then some how connect the ethernet cable to the airport + time caplsule and create a new network like 2WIRE124 so they would both basiaclly be using the same internet connection but separated to 2 diffrent networks?) Thank You.

so what i want to know is if I can connect it to my existing wi-fi but at the same time like create a diffrent network so that only i can use it?
Sorry, but no.
If you can connect the AirPort to the 2Wire router using a permanent wired Ethernet connection, then you can configure the AirPort to create a new wireless network with its own wireless network name and password.
