HT201068 Updated Remote Desktop Admin 3.8 and now my Time Capsule wireless connection is slow

I recently updated to Remote Desktop Admin 3.8 and since then, I have had issues with the wireless connection from my Time Capsule.
1) I reset modem and had no change. 2) I then plugged the ethernet directly into my Mac and the connection was great so it's not the service or modem.
3) I hard reset the TC and when it came back, the speed was good but went back down after a few minutes. 4) Plugged ethernet directly into Mac and again, the speed was great so it is definitely the TC.
Would love some help resolving this. Hoping I don't have to get a new wireless router. Maybe the TC is too old? I purchased it in 2009 or 2010/ Current version 7.6.4

Most home routers running 24/7 are good for about 3years.. your TC has now managed to survive 6 years.. it is well and truly time for a replacement. Simple fact is, it should be dead by now.. so you are living on borrowed time whatever happens.
Why RDA would slow the wireless I am not sure..
Are you running Yosemite.. ?? I tend to point the finger at the OS rather than an application.. mind you if the amount of data going back and forth has increased.. what appears to be slower wireless might actually be something else.
Apple has reasonable wireless analyser built into the OS since mountain lion.. it is well worth using.

I recommend doing a few things like short names, no spaces pure alphanumeric for everything in networks. Passwords also must comply. Apple made changes to network protocols since Mavericks but did not fix the names being recommended in the airport utility.. and still haven't which break their own rules.
And fix names for bands differently so you can force the connection.. plus setting channels.
However in a unit of that age.. it will have pretty weak 5ghz and that is what is important for high speed wireless.. Apple have hindered 2.4ghz since forever.

    Hey evebutterflies,
    I see that you are having some connection issues with your Time Capsule. Are these issues only present when using Remote Desktop Admin 3.8? If so, you may need to review the information in the following article and see if this sheds some light on the issue:

  • I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC.  I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.

    I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC.  I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.
    Why is this?  My husband's 4s is still on IOS7 and it still connects automatically.

    I do not know if this will help.
    For a limited time Apple will allow you to downgrade to 7.1.2.  Hurry do not wait.

    That is very bad.. how old is it??
    The Gen4 TC can die this way.. it is not usual but it happens.
    Leave it for several hours to cool off. Do a factory reset immediately when you try to restart it.
    The Factory Reset.
    Power down the TC.
    Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
    (I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
    Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
    Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
    Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
    Tell me exactly what the LEDs do throughout this process.
    Both the main one at the front and the LED on the ethernet ports which should all flash during bootup.
    If it is less than a year.. of course Apple will replace under warranty.. 2 years in some places.. Europe .. places with stronger consumer laws. If you have applecare on a computer it should still cover the TC.
    I kind of doubt you are going to get this going again... but we can try.

  • Can I copy my iTunes files and folders to Time Capsule wirelessly from my PC?

    Can I copy my iTunes files and folders to Time Capsule wirelessly from my PC? I was wondering since my iTunes files and folders are connected to iTunes.

    You can but the TC is the worst possible location. The design is slow to start and quick to stop data connections.. that will cause trouble.
    Moving folders has specific instructions.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364
    Move it to an external hard disk fine.. but be very sure you will not be happy with the TC as a location.

  • I had to replace my cable modem and now my Time Capsule only talks to just the one Mac Air.  My other wifi devices (another Mac Air, iPad, and iPhone) can't get on the wifi.  Any suggestions?

    I recently replaced my cable modem and now my Time Capsule only works with the one Mac Air and not my other devices (another Mac Air, iPad, and iPhone).  Any suggestions?

    It sounds like you have gone from a cable router with the TC bridged to a cable modem with no router.. so the first device to connect pick up the IP address. Did the cable company give you the same model?? Check if it is a pure modem or a modem router.. and what the last one was.
    Anyway.. you should redo the setup.. do you have any computer with ethernet?? Did you buy a USB to ethernet adapter for one of your airs.. very hard to do setup without ethernet.
    Also download the new utility.. with the old style.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    If you happen to be on Lion.
    Redo the setup and make sure you setup correctly to router mode if the cable modem has no router or bridge mode if it is a router.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and now my Time Capsule says it does not have enough space to complete backup, yet it has 500 GB free space?

    I have just upgraded to Yosemite and now my Time Capsule says it does not have enough space to complete backup, yet it has 500 GB free space?
    I am using the latest mac book pro and hacvent added anything aside from the upgraded iOS so not sure why the Time Capsule is saying that there is not enough space.
    How can i fix this problem?

    Time Machine has to completely index all of the old backups that are already on the Time Capsule before you can run a new backup successfully.
    That process is going to take a long time......probably 6-10 hours or more if your Mac is connected to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
    If the Mac connects using wireless, it may take a day or two for the process to complete depending on the speed of your connection and the amount of data that you already have on the Time Capsule.
    Wait a day or two for the indexing process to complete and then try to run a new backup again.

  • HOME HUB AND TIME CAPSULE WIRELESS CONNECTION

    hi,
    i have recently moved house and have BT broadband and Sky TV. The point where the master socket comes into my house is in an upstairs bedroom, well away from my living room where the TV is... So i'm wondering if its possible to have the Home Hub in the bedroom and then connect my apple time capsule wirelessly to it, then run ethernet from the TC to my Sky box for downloading TV etc. I may need to move the BT master socket to the living room, but hoping to find a workaround.
    I have read some of the forums about bridging etc, but im not sure if this will solve the issue.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Cheers

    Since you, effectively, have two routers in series you will want to reconfigure the downstream router (the TC in this case) as a bridge to allow the upstream router (BT HomeHub) to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all wired & wireless clients.
    To set up the Time Capsule (TC) as a bridge, either connect to the TC's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN port of the TC, and then, using the AirPort Utility, change this setting:
    Internet - Internet Connection tab
    o Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)
    o Click Update to apply the new settings.

  • G4 imac and time capsule wireless connection

    I have a dual band time capsule working wirelessly with 3 macs all intel (24 iMac, mbp 13, mb 13) with no issues. I was trying to connect a 17" flat panel G4 to the same wireless network on the time capsule and it fails to see the network.
    When I type in the network name and password (WPA) it comes back with "encryption method not supported by the wireless network". Although all the others macs are working on this same network using the same encryption, the old iMac refuses to play nice. Is there something else I've overlooked?
    This G4 has been on a various wireless networks over the past 5 years. It is running 10.4.11 and I know it will not support time machine, but still hoping it can share the wireless network.
    Thanks

    James,
    You need to configure the Time Capsule to "join" the wireless network that is being provided by the Netgear router. The Time Capsule will connect using wireless only in this type of configuration.
    Then, the Netgear, Time Capsule and your computer will all be on the same wireless network and you will not have to "switch" networks to access the Internet or back up to the Time Capsule.
    Before we make any changes, we want to make sure that you understand that the Time Capsule will not perform any routing functions when it is configured to "join a wireless network".
    The Ethernet ports on the  Time Capsule are not enabled in this setup, therefore you will not be able to use Ethernet to back up to the Time Capsule. Backups will be over wireless only, which is significantly slower than an Ethernet connection.
    This setup can be tricky because you must know the exact type of wireless security that the Netgear router is using in order to provide the correct settings to the Time Capsule.
    If the Time Capsule does not receive the correct settings during setup, you will receive a message that there has been an error and you must start all over again with a complete factory default reset of the Time Capsule and try again.
    So, before we go any further, we need to ask....what is the exact type of wireless security that your Netgear router is using?

  • Updated to snow Leapord and now my time capsule is slow

    Recently updated Mac mini to snow Leapord and since then my wireless network is 2mb/s or slower on my 1TB time capsule. Can anyone help?

    Hello. I don't know what part of the world you're in but if you're in North America TVs typically operate on the NTSC format and if you're in another part of the world PAL is used. If you have an option in System Preferences, make sure the appropriate choice is selected.

  • Ipad 2 with version 8.1.3;  update to take out bugs etc and now every time I click on an app it asked for my itunes id before I can get it to open;  any help would be appreciated

    I did the update to take out bugs etc;  now when I try to open an app, it asks for my Itunes ID before it will open;  this is a pain;  has anyone else had this problem or knows how to correct this,  assistance gratefully appreciated, thanks

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

    What? Do you work for Apple?
    I have been on the phone for Apple since 5:30 Eastern Time today. We are still on the phone with them. It is 10:14 PM. We are going to get a new phone because the ios6 has major problems! The wifi connectivity is a serious problem. Apple is aware of it. More people need to do something about it. I am willing to start a class action suit against them. I have means to an attorney pro bono. If you are having problems using your iphone 4 or 4s with wifi and ios6...I suggest you spend time calling a senior advisor and get a new phone sent to you. They know they messed up but they can't fix it.
