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.

  • 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.

  • I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

    By default your new Time Capsule will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
    Most likely your iMacs will be connected to the wireless network created by the Virgin Media router. However, both should see the Apple Network under the AirPort icon's drop-down menu as another wireless network that they can connect to. Is this not the case?

  • Airport Time Capsule 2TB - Problem with Backups

    Hello everybody,
    I´m from Germany but I hope you understand my english. I have got a problem with my new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I want to use it as a data storage, where all my pictures and videos are accessible via WIFI.
    Copying the datas was no problem but now I want to make a backup of all the datas. For this purpose i created a RAID 0 out of two 1TB external hard drives. I connected the bay with these two hard drives in it with the Time Capsules USB interface. The problem is that no drives were displayed in the airport-programm ... Also non of my other USB hard drives were found. Only the Time Capsule´s partition "data" got found...
    In the time machine program I can´t see the Time Capsule, so I can´t do a backup on the normal way... Even the "hard drive - program" from OS X didn´t show the Time Capsule.
    It looks like they don´t want to know anything about each other ...
    So, how can I realize to do a backup of the datas saved on my Time Capsule?
    Thank you for your answers and sorry if my english is bad in some cases.

    Ok.. can understand..
    You have two problems.. maybe 3.
    1. Time Machine (TM) does not work on network drives which includes Time Capsule.. so you simply cannot backup your pictures from a TC to a backup location using TM. It only works on locally connected drives.. you can use an alternative software like Carbon Copy Cloner .. I did check superduper but in the past it was not able to backup network source drives. You will need to check if the situation has improved.
    2. The Time Capsule will not accept raid array disks.. it must be a standard hard disk on a USB drive that it has drivers for.. and that is far from every model out there. So not all plain single USB disk works.. almost no array disks work.
    3. Your iphoto library if that is what you mean by pictures should not be on a network drive.. apple says it is going to be corrupted.
    YMMV.. it is dangerous and only a matter of time.. if the pictures and videos are raw from camera that is fine.. it is only the iphoto (or aperture) library that is at risk.

  • There is a problem with your airport time capsule disk

    Hello,
    Since I got my airport time capsule and set it up, I got an error "there is a problem with your airport time capsule disk" and disk is not listed for setup or erase. The LED is flashing amber sine I turned on the first time.
    The wifi is working fine as well as the internet connectivity.
    I got the device from the online store and was shipped to my address in the states but I opened the box the first time in Saudi Arabia as I left the states immediately after receiving it.
    Any advise on fixing this or a near by apple support center where I can get it in for repair / replacement?

    I would first suggest that you perform a "factory default" reset on your Time Capsule (TC).
    If that fails to remedy the problem, you can obtain technical support from Apple here.

  • 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

  • How to use AirPort Time Capsule 2TB as an external storage hard drive only?

    I have a new AirPort Time Capsule 3TB, now I want to use my AirPort Time Capsule 2TB as an external storage hard drive only, how do I it? 
    I would like to  connect the AirPort Time Capsule 2TB directly to my Mac Pro. using OS X 10.7.5.
    I have erase disk and reset the 2TB to factory default, after that, I cannot make it to connect to my Mac.  Please help.

    The 2TB Time Capsule needs to connect to your 3TB Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
    Connect from a LAN <--> port on the 3 TB Time Capsule to the WAN "O" port on the 2 TB Time Capsule and configure the 2TB Time Capsule in Bridge Mode and turn off the wireless function on the device as well.
    Once that is done, you can connect your Mac directly to the 2TB Time Capsule using another Ethernet cable, or your Mac can connect to the network using the normal wireless network, if you prefer.

  • My computer is macbook white with iOS 10. 6.8, will i able to use the new Airport Time Capsule 2TB and what does it mean administrate the Airport Time Capsule 2TB ?

    my computer is macbook white with Mac OS X (10. 6.8), will i able to use the new Airport Time Capsule 2TB and work properly with Time Capsule on my computer to back up wirelessly?
    And what does it mean "to administrate" because it was written in requirement of the Airport Time Capsule 2TB ?

    You must use a Mac running Lion (10.7.5), Mountain Lion or Mavericks to be able to set up the Time Capsule and make any changes to the settings.
    A recent version iPhone or iPad could also be used for this task.
    From the Specifications on the Time Capsule:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3

    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.

  • How can I add a Time Capsule 3TB to a network with an older Time Capsule 2TB?

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro with 500 GB HD and a 2013 Macbook Pro with 1TB HD. I am using Mavericks and will migrate to OS X Yosemite when it becomes available. I tried backing both up with my older Time Capsule with 2 TB of space but it isn't enough. So, today I bought the new Time Capsule 3 TB to add on to my network. I want to use both TCs in order to have 5 TB for backup.
    I have a Brother printer and my Comcast Cable Modem connected to the old Time Capsule. I also have an Apple TV with 1080p HD that uses the internet wirelessly through the old Time Capsule.
    My first question is what should connect to what and in what order? Should the new TC connect directly to the old TC and if so, with what cable?
    My 2nd question is: Can I move several 100 GB of old data that I rarely use onto the 3TB TC so that I could access the data from either computer whenever I need it, without having the data on either computer?
    Thank you.

    This is a pretty easy setup.
    Basically just plug the new TC WAN port into the old TC LAN port.
    Run the airport utility on the computer and it should recognise that the new TC is plugged into another one.. and setup bridge mode and create a wireless network.. if not you can jump in and edit it at the end of the setup.
    You could also swap things around with the new TC as the main router.. and the old one as the secondary.. but people are experiencing some issues with WAN connection to some cable modems.. so you need to be prepared if you have issues to go back to the original setup.
    You will use an ethernet patch cable to connect them. I recommend if you have them in the same area place them at least a couple of meters apart.. so buy a 2-3M patch cable at least.. (8-9ft). Even better would be to install the new TC closer to the clients that will use it.. to improve wireless in dark corners of your house.. but all that can come later.
    My 2nd question is: Can I move several 100 GB of old data that I rarely use onto the 3TB TC so that I could access the data from either computer whenever I need it, without having the data on either computer?
    This is a lot harder question.. not in how to do it.. it is simple.. copy and paste files onto the new TC.. that is not the issue..
    The problem is backup of the files that no longer exist on the computers. Ironically the TC is problematic for one major reason.. it cannot back itself up.. nor can Time Machine (TM) backup network drives. Even though TM uses the TC to store the backup it cannot actually work to backup the TC. The problems are not insurmountable.. you can use a third party backup.. eg CCC but it will be extremely slow. A better strategy if one of your computers is a desktop is to install an external drive and share it to the network. The data rate will be hugely better.. and TM can backup as per normal.

  • 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 share external USB drive connected to airport time capsule

    I have a 4TB Seagate USB Hard Drive connected to my Airport Time Capsule.  The Time Capsule connected to a newer iMac running Maverick.
    I use the Time Capsule for Time Machines Backups and as a Router, as it was designed for.
    I want to use the external Seagate drive to share content with other devices (Mac, IOS, Windows) on my home network
    Problem:  I cannot figure out how to SHARE the external Seagate drive so that any other devices can see it.
    Steps tried:  Go to System Preferences, Sharing, and I am unable to add this Seagate drive to list of sharable objects.  It is grayed out.

    the drive is formatted as AppleShare. Is that a potential problem?
    No, that is the correct setting if you want to share out the drive.
    Finally, when I run Disk Utility I don't see the Seagate drive (nor the Time Capsule) at all.
    Remember that the Time Capsule is a network drive. Any other drive connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule is also a network drive.
    Disk Utility cannot be used on a network drive.  It only works on a drive that is directly attached to a Mac.  If you need to partition the USB drive or something similar, you will need to connect it directly to your Mac for the operation.
    Otherwise, everything looks correct in AirPort Utility.

  • Airport time capsule 2TB not emitting 802.11ac to my Late 2013 MBPr

    PHY Mode: 802.11n
    this is displayed when I'm connected to the Airport Time Capsule from my late 2013 MacBrook Pro Retina 15"
    My laptop is 802.11ac compatible however the connection to the airport seems to only connect in 802.11n
    I've connected Airport to my Verizon Actiontec Mi424WR and have disabled wifi on the actiontec.
    Any way I can modify the connection to connect at 802.11ac???

    Please don't post in both areas.. we see posts in both..
