HT4628 Limit on the # of IP Addresses with Time Capsule?

I seem to only be able to connect 6 devices to my wireless network at one time, and I often have to reset my modem and Time Capsule to get something to connect. My internet service provider said it's probably a limit to the # of IP addresses through the Time Capsule. Is that true? Any other advice?
I have the 2TB Time Capsule with iMac, Macbook, iPhone, Xoom tablet, and printer that I regularly connect to it.
Thanks for your help!

Please review what we said previously.......
Assuming that the Time Capsule is configured as your router, the Time Capsule will provide up to 200 IP addresses unless you have changed the settings. You can adjust it to provide up to 250 if you need more than 200.
If the Time Capsule is in Bridge Mode to work with your modem/router, then it is up to your modem/router to issue IP addresses.
Your Time Capsule is not configured to act as the router for your network since you told us above that......
Airport Utility is set as "Router Mode: Off(Bridge Mode)".
Configure the Time Capsule Router Mode = DHCP and NAT if you want it to act as the router for your network.....not as a bridge.

Getting invalid IP address with Time Capsule in new Comcast setup

Today I just got hooked up to Comcast. I was using Qwest. I have a Arris TM722 cable modem that is going to a switch. One of the connections in the switch comes to my office. From the port in the office I have a Ethernet cable going to my first generation Time Capsule. With a cable from the TC to my laptop I can get online and the light on the TC is green. My IP address on my laptop is 1xx.xx.xxx.xxx. This is the same numbers if I hook up the laptop directly from the cable modem.
In the Internet tab in Airport Utility I have Connection Sharing set to "Off (Bridge Mode). DHCP is set to manually. If I had DHCP enabled I am not able to get online using a Ethernet cable.
I have Lion 10.7.2 on the laptop and the firmware is 7.6 on the TC.
When I connect to my wireless network that is set in the TC I receive an invalid IP address 169.xxx.xx.xxx.
I have reset the cable modem and TC twice and still cannot get a vaild IP address when I connect wirelessly.
Any suggestions on how I can get this to work would be highly appreciated. I had no problems wirelessly when I used Qwest DSL service.

When you had Qwest, you likely had a gateway device, which is a combination modem/router in the same package. If my guess is wrong here....you need to pretty much ignore everything else below.
Bridge Mode would have been the correct setting for the Time Capsule in this type of configuration since the Qwest device was handling DHCP assignments for all devices on the network. The Time Capsule was simply passing through that information to connected devices.
It appears as if you now have a simple cable modem.....which can deliver only 1 IP address. Then you have the cable modem connected to a switch. You cannot insert a switch between a simple modem and a router (Time Capsule). (You can if you have a gateway device).
The switch must come after the Time Capsule, not before the Time Capsule in this type of setup.
The Time Capsule is getting the IP address from the cable modem via Ethernet and passing it through in Bridge Mode when you connect a computer using Ethernet.
In order to connect the computer using wireless, you would need another IP address. But.... the cable modem is already delivering the only IP address that it can provide, and that is the Ethernet connection for a device.
My suggestion would be to completely reset both the modem and Time Capsule again and then connect the modem directly to the Time Capsule.....not to the switch.
The Time Capsule should be configured to "Create a wireless network". When it does this, it will also choose the Connection Sharing setting of "Share a public IP address" because it is now the main router that must supply the DHCP info and IP addresses to the network.
The Time Capsule is going to supply IP addresses that look something like 10.0.1.2 etc. to connected devices on the network.

What is the best HP printer with Time Capsule

What is the best HP printer (all-in-one) to use with an Airport Time Capsule?

Kappy is dead on correct about Bridge Mode as a requirement for the Time Capsule.
Do you know how to check to see if the Time Capsule is configured this way?
Next question.....you really should not try to have two wireless networks....one Arris and another Time Capsule.....unless it is absolutely necessary. Two wireless routers in close proximity can create wireless interference effects that can cause problems with either...or both...networks.
Best to turn off the wireless on one router to keep the chances of wireless interference between routers minimized.
Are both the Arris and Time Capsule providing wireless signals?

How to deselect the "close network" option with Time Capsule?

After selecting the "close network" option in the settings I lost connection. When I check the Utility AirPort the machine looks for wireless devices but finds nothing because it's hidden. How do I deselect the "close network" option and see my network again? Tks!!!

Temporarily, connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <--> ports on the back of the Time Capsule and turn off the wireless on the computer.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Click the Wireless Network Options button
Remove the check mark next to "Create a closed network"
Click Update to save your settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart.

Make a hard drive attached to the Airport Extreme work with Time Capsule?

I have an external hard drive attached to my airport extreme that shows up on my desktop as if it was attached locally, but time machine recognizes it as the wrong format. In the Get Info screen, the drive's format appears to be 'Appleshare', when it is actually Mac OS Extended (Journaled). How can I make it appear as Mac OS extended again?

There is nothing wrong. The drive will appear as Appleshare since the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is providing file sharing services. That should not be a problem for Time Machine use.

Is there a limit to the number of addresses can I put into a group of multiple users in my address book?

I have just started using Thunderbird and want to set up a number of list groups in my Address Book so that I can simply click on the list name and the email goes to multiple people.
Is there a limit to the number of addresses that I can put into each group? Or, can I put as many addresses into each group as I want to? Thanks for your answer.

Thunderbird has no limit.

Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

Hey Bumblebee, To each other, no-- would be like trying to call yourself on the same phone. To different persons on other devices??? Not sure you'll have to try, I'm guessing if both are online you may well dial up on both, (once had the same address on the my computer and iPod, both would ring when called, this stopped when I changed the iPod's address). If you change one of the iPod's e-mail address you should be fine. You'll have to do a little experimenting. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

How to specify in the ISE mac-address with its description?

Hello :-)
I want to implement ISE 1.2.
We have a database of mac-addresses and their description (for example the phone with the Mac address, John).
When connecting the phone John to a wifi network, WLC checks its mac-address in the database and allows access.
How to specify in the ISE Mac address with its description?
In the endpoint settings in ISE 1.2 there is no description field. We have ISE1.2.1.198, vWLC 8.0.100, AIR-LAP1131, MS AD (Win2003).
How can I handle this situation? Any ideas?

How can I limit connection time of a device with Time Capsule?

I would like to limit the time certain members of my family can use their devices during the week. While the built in parental controls on Apple OS are ok, I am now faced with multiple devices (eg, iPod, MacBook, non Apple devices, etc), and it seems like the easiest way to manage connection time would be through the router - eg, via the MAC address and some time allocation per calendar day.
Is there any way to achieve this with Time Capsule? Failing that, any other ideas are welcomed.

A quick google will get you the answer.. yes.. use the access controls.

Bob Timmons has written this up a number of times.
Look specifically for his posts.. you will need to use google as apple search is utterly useless.

If you are unfortunate enough to only have Mountain Lion you may need to also google for loading the 5.6 utility.

Can we share our photos in the family on different mac´s with Time Capsule?

Can we share our photos in the family on different mac´s with Time Capsule?

It depends on the size and number of photos you are sharing around.
Nothing wrong with putting a copy of the photos on the TC if that works for you. Each person can access the photo just fine like that.
I am not saying don't.. just beware of the risks so do it prudently..
But if the library is too large, you will steal space on the TC that should be used for backups.. if all the computers in the network are backing up to it, don't use too much of the spare space.
Better to buy a firewire drive (or USB but firewire 800 are much faster) and connect it to a computer that is regularly turned on. Share that drive to the network. It will then also be backed up correctly to the TC although again be careful of the amount of files, and still keep a straight copy backup somewhere else.
I am recent convert so workflow on the Mac is not my forte.. so perhaps some of the wiser heads can also drop in and post a reply.

How do I access the data saved on my time capsule? for example, if i try to view my photos it tells me that i have 2.4gb of photos and gives me the option to "view with iPhoto"....but when i click on "view with iPhoto" nothing happens... thanks!

how do i access the data stored on my time capsule? for example, if i try to view a photo, i get the option to "view with iphoto" but when i click on "view with iphoto" nothing happens. i'm having similar trouble openning up movies, music, etc. it appears as though the files exist / saved on the time capsule (because i can see how much storage they consume), but i can't open them. thanks!

Unfortunately, Apple removed the feature to "browse backups" in Time Machine backups of iPhoto a few years ago.
You have to restore the entire iPhoto library to a separate location to be able to "see" it, and then choose the specific images that you want use.
For complete details, see #15 in Pondini's excellent support document Time Machine -- FAQ. Check the information in the pink box there.

I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing wifi network

I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing BT wifi network even though it is there with a good signal strength. The Time Capsule is connected to a Netgear router via ethernet.

You will need to start over on the setup of the Time Capsule as follows:
Disconnect any Ethernet cables that might be connected to the Time Capsule, but leave it powered on
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 8-10 seconds and release. The reset button is located next to the AC power socket.
Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the Netgear to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule. The Ethernet cable must remain connected at all times.
Click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Look for a setting of New AirPort Base Station
Click on Time Capsule
The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule on your screen.
That will get the setup wizard going. It will take a minute to analyze the settings, then display a screen that looks like this, except you will see a picture of the Time Capsule
Network Name..........Type in the exact name that the Netgear wireless is using
Base Station.............Type in a name that you want to call the Time Capsule. Use something short and simple. Mine is TC, for example
Password..................Type in the exact password that the Netgear wireless requires
Verify.........................Verify the Password again
Click Next
The setup wizard will configure everything for you automatically. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
That's it. Now you have one big "extended" network. Technically, this is called a "roaming" network.
