HT3728 how to reconfigure time capsule wireless access

Has anyone had problems moving their TIme Capsule only to find that the device will not connect to the Internet at the new location?

It does become lonely for its old place.. press reset to make it forget and start a fresh setup.. for new place.

How to modify Time Capsule wireless clients?

I have a Time Capsule that I use as the router for the house. We've had a lot of computers connected to it over the years. What I am wanting to know if it is possible to remove wireless clients that are connected or previously connected. Under Finder there is an HP computer that is connected but to my knowledge there is no Windows based computer using the network. At one point there was an old HP laptop connected to it. But for the life of me I can not find anything or figure out how to remove this computer from showing up under the Finder. I am confident that the problem resides at the router because I can see that same device connected.

Maybe you have an HP printer that is connected either by wireless or Ethernet?
Does the HP device show up in the list of current wireless clients? If not, then the HP device is connected via Ethernet to your network.
What I am wanting to know if it is possible to remove wireless clients that are connected or previously connected.
If a wireless device is already connected to the network, the only way that you can remove it is to change the wireless network password, or set up Timed Access on that device..
Chaging the password will disconnect all connected devices, then you will have to log on again from each device that you want to connect.

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.

How to config Time capsule remote access with Motorola SVG1202 router?

I'm having difficulty trying to congif Time capsule remote acces. I have a router Motorola SVG1202 and Time capsule config to Bridge mode, when I change Time capsule config to "DHCP and NAT", an error of "Double NAT" happens. How to correct this? Tried to search what to do exactly but no luck, appreciate anyone support.

Method 3 will work if you have a modem/router or gateway device, as it appears that the SVG1202 is......with the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode.
The method 3 has some differences from my Airport Utility options (v6.3.2), please if there are any image of the screen options would be helpfull.
You will not be using AirPort Utility to set up port forwarding for the Time Capsule, so as long as you can get the Time Capsule back to Bridge Mode, you should not need any additional help on AirPort Utiltiy 6.3.2.
Basically, all the setup will be on the Motorola device.
The first order of business is that you have a Static Internet IP address from your service provider. It is not practical to consider Method 3 unless you have this in place.
Then, the Motorola must be able to assign a fixed IP address to the Time Capsule on your network......probably something like 192.168.1.4.....for example only.
If the first two conditions can be met, the Motorola still needs to have the capability to set up Port Forwarding. If it does, then you would set up Port 548 for both Private UDP and Private TCP.
Then set up a port number....example 8888.....for Public UDP and Public TCP.
Then, from your Mac, you would click the Finder Go menu and click Connect to Server
Enter the following:
afp://12.345.678.910:8888
The 12.345.679.910 is an example of the IP address that your provider furnished to you for your Internet connection with their service.
Then, click Connect

Time Capsule wireless problem

recently my TC which as been working fine, lost its wireless connection. I went back to the factory default settings and reset the entire system. My laptop "sees" the TC right away in Airport Utility but cannot read the configuration profile (times out). If I plug in an ethernet cord from the TC to my laptop everything works just fine. As soon as I unplug, nothing. Obviously, I am not getting a wireless signal from the TC.
I unplugged the Airport Express unit I have b/c I was concerned about interference. I also reverted to 7.3.2 from the newer version.
I have restarted the TC repeatedly with no improvement.

Hi mmcb and welcome to the discussions.
Sorry, I can't quite follow your description, so apologies if you have already tried this. Have you tried connecting the ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN ports on the TC to try to configure or re-configure it using AirPort Utility?
As you describe, it does sound like you do not have wireless set up on the TC.
When you have Airport Utility open, click on Manual Setup at the lower left of the pane. On the next window, click the Airport Icon at the top of the pane. Then click the Wireless tab in the next line below that reads Summary - Time Capsule - Wireless-Access.
Check to make sure that the Wireless Mode is set to "Create a Wireless Network". You should see your wireless network name, radio settings security, and password. If not, you need to reconfigure them. See if that helps.

How to use time capsule for wireless back-up but not internet?

Hello,
I have a tower and recently a laptop at work. The tower is connected to our local network with an ethernet cable and the laptop with wireless. So, the internet connection is fine for both.
I was hoping to use my time capsule to do time machine backups on my laptop. Do you have any advice on how to configure this? I do not want to use the time capsule to extend my Internet, as I believe my work I.T. would prefer to handle all access to their network.
Perhaps there is some documentation about doing this that you could point me to? I have not been able to find it.
Thank you for your help.

Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.
If you are asking if you can backup the Tower using Ethernet, and not wireless, then you can connect the tower to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....not the WAN port.
Yes, it appears to work without plugging into my tower.
Correct, it will work.
I just have to select the network that it created. Of course, I have no access to the Internet while this is happening and it can not auto backup, unless I am on that wireless signal.
As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection. You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

How to Sync iPhone/iPad with Time Capsule (wirelessly)

Hi - I am wondering if there is way to sync my iPhone or iDevices with Time Capsule wirelessly. Please let me know if there is and how?
Thanks in advance..

The iOS devices....iPhones, iPads, iPods, etc.....sync to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud.
See this Apple support document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
It is not possible to sync iOS devices directly to the Time Capsule.

How to integrate AT&T U-Verse with existing Time Capsule wireless network

I would like to switch from Comcast HDTV+Earthlink internet service to AT&T U-Verse, but it’s not clear to me how to integrate the AT&T system with our existing Time Capsule/wireless set-up. The TV (with cabled DVR) is in our family room; the Time Capsule, printer & iMac are in the study. Do I need to move the Time Capsule - so it is directly connected to the AT&T ‘gateway’ box via ethernet cable - or - can I just attach an Airport Express module to the modem/router box and leave the Time Capsule where it is? (I plan to turn off the wireless function on the AT&T device.)

No, we have a mix of 802.11g & 802.11n devises, so it looks like I will need to use the WDS option
Yes, this is your only option here.
can I 'create' a (Apple) WDS network rather than 'participate' in a (2Wire) network?
Maybe I am mistaken, but I sense that you may be thinking that you can somehow combine the 2 Wire and Apple networks together in a WDS setup. This is not possible since they are not compatible for this purpose.
You will configure the main Apple router to "participate in a WDS network". There is no other way to set it up if you want to use WDS. It will be configured as the "main base station" in the setup.
You could leave the 2Wire network "as is" and use it for guests or some other purpose. There is some concern though about having different networks in close proximity due to likely interference effects between the devices.
(2) Can I use an Airport Express device in 'relay' mode and also use it to stream AirTunes to the stereo?
Yes
I'm also wondering if the 2Wire device & the TC should have the same password and security (WPA2), so the NetQuakes seismograph in the garage can 'see' the internet through both devices. But perhaps a question for another day...
OK to use the same WPA2 Security, but having the same password for two distinct networks may cause some confusion.

TS1550 Do external hard drives mounted on my Mac get backed up by time machine on a time capsule wireless Apple external back up disk? How can I see what folders have been actually stored in the wireless back up disk?

Do external hard drives mounted on my Mac get backed up by time machine on a time capsule wireless apple external hard disk? How can I see what folders have been actually backed up in the external wireless disk? any help would be appreciated

They can provided you remove them from the Exclude list. Normally, Time Machine does not automatically backup external drives.

Time Capsule wireless reduces my broadband speed

Does anyone have any idea how my Time Capsule wireless is managing to strangle my download rates? I have restarted etc etc oh and turned off the wireless on the BT Router which seems to have helped...but still:
My old Powerbook (10.4.11) is connected directly to the BT Router via an ethernet cable. It is getting pretty consistent download speeds of 5,6,7 Megs....BUT here are the rubbish results via MacBook Pro and Wireless on the Time Capsule (500gig version) the first figure is download, the second is upload.
The figures are actually VERY flattering - again and again webpages simply fail to load and I have to cancel and start again. It's driving me mad...any ideas?

I don't mind being Traffic Shaped too much I guess - but web pages stalling and stopping will lead to violence soon!

Hi Peter,
You have just described almost exactly the problems and conclusion I have. Unplugging and restarting almost every day to get even half decent connection speed - yep, I'm with you on that one. Pile of rubbish. And accessing the hard drive wirelessly through Finder - even navigating around the folders takes ages. I dearly love Apple kit, but as you say, it is embarrassing when you try using it in front of anyone else, and it performs like this.
Like you, I'm also currently wondering about returning my 6 month old Time Capsule, and am trying to find out whether I/we are just unlucky to have got duff ones, or is this standard behavior for a TC? If anyone else has any comments, I'd be interested to hear.
By the way, about having AirTunes skip and cut out, I did have the same problem initially, but I changed the way the Airport Express was configured, and that fixed it. I think I changed it from the 'Extend your wireless network' to the 'just act as a dumb music router' option, or whatever the wording is. You may find that at least you can fix that issue.
Jim.

ARD&TC Apple Remote Desktop & Time Capsule (disk access, remote management)

Hello!
Could You help me? I have two problems with access to my Time Capsule.
I have wireless network at home based on Time Capsule, with *one static IP*. I have conected it (wireless) with two iMac's. Me and my girlfriend we have also two macbooks and when we are out of home we want to acces data on our Time Capsule disk. I need access to disk to edit data on it while being long way out of home. Second problem is to access data on our iMac's. I bought Apple Remote Desktop software, it's incredible what it can do but only when I'm connected to my wireless network LAN. I need to control my iMac while being out of home. How to configure Time Capsule and ARD to acces disk and control iMac's? Let me remind You that I have *one static IP for Time Capsule router WAN*. Please help and I would be very very thankful for screenshots of configuraion, I'm newbie in this.
Thank You very much.
Kind regards.

Yeah for some reason I cannot get this to work right. Even if I scan the 5 VPN IP's I have setup I cannot see their machines when I am connected to the VPN. I tested it the other day by connecting one of the systems to an outside internet connection, then logged it into the VPN. I then connected my own to a different source and logged into the VPN, but Remote Desktop just won't find it.
Just not sure why it doesn't work. I can see the computers on our internal network though, just not any connected via VPN.

I receive a not connected to the internet message several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via cable modem.. When I input my password to enter network preferences, the connection re-establishes.

I receive a "not connected to the internet message" several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via a cable modem. Software/firmware is up to date on the iMac (OSX 10.6.8) and Tme Capsule(7.5.2). Browser is Safari 5.1.
When I input my password at the prompt to enter network preferences, all the lights go green (ie... ethernet, ISP etc.) and the connection re-establishes immediately and states "the connection appears to be working normally".
It more of a nuisance than anything and seems to have started ocurring over the past couple of months. I also have a windows XP box also connected to the same cable modem that I never have internet connectivity issues with. I've verified all the physical aspects of the connections and can't see any evidence of any actual drops in the modem logs. I suspect it is just an intermittent communication loss between the Imac and the Time Capsule, but I am not very familiar with Mac equipment yet.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and what you did (if anything) to resolve it?
Thanks.

The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

My MBP doesn't remember my Time Capsule wireless network when waking from sleep

My MBP (OS 10.5.8) doesn't remember my Time Capsule wireless network when waking from sleep. Thus, every time my MBP wakes from sleep, I need to select the Airport icon in the upper menu bar, select "Join other network", enter SSID and password. This is very cumbersome. And, I never had this problem when I was using the ISP's provided wireless router/gateway/DSL modem. Adding the Time Capsule and using it to generate the wireless network has introduced this problem.
It appears that this problem has to do with the hidden SSID. I don't need the lecture on how hidden SSID provides no serious security benefit. That's why I have the WPA2 encryption. I'm interested in a solution that will allow the Time Capsule to generate the wireless network, maintain a hidden SSID, continue to use WPA2 encryption, but have my MBP recognzie and autoconnect to this network.
Solutions I've alread tried:
1. Open Network Preferences
2. Select Airport from left hand column (and ensure Airport is at top of that list)
3. Select Advanced
4. Delete all Preferred Networks.
5. Apply settings.
6. Restart computer
7. Return to Network Preferences and from Advanced page, manually add my network with hidden SSID and WPA2 password
This solution works fine as long as I don't take my computer elsewhere and connect to another network. As soon as my preferred networks list gets another network, my MBP stops finding my TC network. Since I take my laptop to a lot of places (it's a laptop, after all...) this is a problem.
As I say, prior to adding the TC on my network (and using it to generate the wireless network), my MBP had no problem keeping 50+ preferred network names/passwords in the Preferred Network list, but always automatically finding/connecting to my home network without the need to "Join other network." Thus, I assume the problem lies with the Time Capsule.
Any ideas?

LaPastenague, thanks for weighing in. Didn't know that the hidden SSID capability was not IEEE standardized, and thus different devices will handle hidden SSID differently. With my admittedly limited knowledge of how SSID/hidden SSID works, I'm still a little confused as to why my MBP would remember the generic router/gateway's hidden network, but struggle with the TC's hidden network.
To my knowledge, when an SSID is broadcast by a base station (Airport, wireless gateway, etc.), a connecting device (like a laptop, iPad, etc.) detects this broadcast--this would be a passive reception of this SSID signal.
When an SSID is hidden, the base station does not broadcast its identification. Rather, a connecting device must transmit the name, and when the base station recognizes the broadcast, the connection is made. That's what you do when you select "Join another network" and manually enter the SSID.
The idea with OS X's Network Preferences is that these steps, whether for hidden networks or broadcast SSIDs, become automated.
Where is the potential for a different chipset between the TC and the previously used wireless router/gateway to alter this functionality? Shouldn't the selection of an SSID by the MBP to broadcast to seek for a base station be a function solely on the MBP? And once broadcast by the MBP, the TC should detect and reply?
Basically, the MBP can connect to the hidden TC manually just fine. The MBP can connect to the old setup automatically just fine. The MBP cannot connect to the TC automatically. Aren't these automatic connection functions solely on the MBP?
I'll try un-hiding the network and re-verifying that the problem is exclusively with the hidden network.

Can i store my movies on the time capsule and access to watch on my new ipad?

can I store my movies on the time capsule and access wireless to watch on my new ipad?

TC is not a media player.. it has no smarts whatsoever.
If you have an app on the ipad to play files.. then the ipad can play files from anywhere.. even the TC.. but the TC contributes nothing. Do not move your itunes library to the TC.. that is asking for trouble.

Mac connects but PC won't connect to internet via TIme Capsule wireless net

I have my personal Mac and work PC at home. I'm switching from a wireless network using my airport extreme base station to a new time capsule. Had no problems earlier, but now with my new wireless network I have the following problem:
- Both Mac and PC are able to connect to my home wireless network created through Time Capsule
- Only Mac can access the internet via the Time Capsule wireless network
- PC connects fine to the wireless network, but the settings indicate the internet cannot be accessed
I've tried fiddling with configurations etc. but cannot seem to get the PC to connect through to the internet using my Time Capsule.
The PC will connect directly to the net if I plug in the ethernet from my cable modem....What's the problem? Any ideas?

Welcome to the discussions forum AZR-DC.
The PC will connect directly to the net if I plug in the ethernet from my cable modem...
Make it a habit to power down your modem whenever you connect something different to it. Merely detaching the AEBS and attaching your Time Capsule or your computer directly will confuse most modems, so leave it powered down for a few moments. Power down your other equipment while you're at it.
Then, power up all the equipment as follows:
Modem... wait a few moments for it to complete its startup sequence.
Time Capsule. Wait a few moments again.
Computers.
Be sure your PC and your Mac are getting their addresses "via DHCP".
