I want to extend the range of my Time Capsule, can I use Universal WiFi Range Extender, 4-port WiFi Adapter WN2000RPT?

A universal may work but reliability tends to be poor..
You are much better using another airport .. extreme or express.. even a second hand older one.
Or do not use wireless bridge or repeater.. simply run ethernet or use EOP adapters to a second WAP run independently of the main router.. it is far more reliable and far faster solution .. wireless bridge/repeater will halve your wireless speed.

How shall i do it ? Complex question about how to use the airport express or time capsule ?

Hello All,
Right now i have an access point:
1/ A mercury router (cheap and old)
2/ Airport Express
Do you advice me to use it to replace my cheap old router (mercury) or to pair it with this main old router ? (however i tried to without any success)
3/ Time Capsule
Can i use it to relay the signal from the Airport Express to extend the range of the wifi?
Can i use it to stream music to my B/W M1 speakers directly ? (I will connect by USB the BW M1 to the time capsule) and would like to be able to play music this way. Is this in anyway possible ?
Many thanks for your reply !

ok, i might be wrong but here goes:
you should attach your modem to your time capsule: your time capsule will act as not only your time machine but also your main wireless transmitter.
you set it up using "Airport Utility" which is inside the "utilites" folder, which is inside your applications folder.
this connects your mac wirelessly to the internet.
to stream music to your speakers you then set up the airport plug to (a) join the existing network (which you set up on the time capsule) and then (b) set it up to stream music to your speakers. again, this is done using "airport utility". do it AFTER you have set up the time capsule.
you will then be able to use itunes to stream music to your speakers. from itunes on your computer you will be able to chose from the bottom right hand side of the window whether you play the music on your computer or wirelessly into your B+W speakers...
some notes:
1. you won't be able to connect the airport plug by USB to your speakers as the airport plug doesn't have a USB output. It has only analogue and optical.
2. although your time capsule has USB you cannot stream music into it or through it. there's some basic guidance here:
http://www.apple.com/wifi/
3. you may find that the sound quality [if you are playing apple lossless files or wav files) isn't as good as if the speakers were connected directly to your mac via USB. this should be especially noticable because your speakers are so good!
if the music you play is only mp3 or the stuff purchased from itunes then it shouldn't make too much of a difference.
4. keep an eye out on the B+W website: there may come a time when you won't even have to use the airport plug, and you will be able to stream music straight to the speakers. i know that B+W have just done that with the new Zepellin speaker that they make.
hope this helps...

How do you extend the reception range on a Time Capsule?

Live in an older home and looking to extend the wifi range of my Time Capsule. Any advice?

You need to buy another Apple router.. express, extreme .. I guess even another TC.. and run it in extend wireless mode.. this is just wireless repeater by another name.
Better is to run ethernet and use a second Access Point.. AP which can be any brand under the sun. Faster and you can buy stuff that actually will cover the whole house.. the fact of the matter is, Apple Routers are NOT wifi power houses. They are mediocre at best.

Can I extend the range of my Time Capsule with an Airport Express?

I have read on Apple's description of the Airport Express that it is possible to extend the range of an existing network. I have the OLDER version of the Time Capsule (it is still wireless-N but it can only broadcast EITHER 2.4 or 5 gHZ at a given time) that does not have the simultaneous broadcasting. Can I still use the Airport Express to extend the range of my Time Capsule network?

i think you have the same concern as mine....
would the express extend the n or g networks? i am pretty sure it cant dual broadcast.....
my guess is that it would extend the n network by default, but if an iphone hooks up to the part of the network that the express is covering, it will probably slow down to a g speed.
i am one of those that suffer from my existing airport extreme and express slowing down when i turn on my ipod touch or iphone! the whole network slows down to the lowest common denominator.
by getting the new time capsule (or the new airport extreme), i will be fine in the part of the house that is being served by the new machines, but i am expecting the network to slow down where the express is in incharge!
this is all in preparation to buy a new TC...... is my understanding correct?

I need to improve the wireless router range of my time capsule. What sort of extender (repeater?) should I be considering?

I need to improve the wireless router range of my time capsule. What sort of extender (repeater?) should I be considering? Will it affect my use of the time capsule as a hard drive backup?

In order to insure compatibility, you need to consider an Apple AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme if you are thinking about "extending" or "repeating" the network wirelessly.
It is also possible to extend the network by connecting an AirPort Extreme or Express back to the Time Capsule using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, which will provide better performance.
If you have a new "tower" model of the Time Capsule, then you would need a new "tower" version of the AirPort Extreme to take full advantage of the capabilities of the Time Capsule.
If you have an earlier "flat" or "square" version of the Time Capsule, then an AirPort Express would be a good match for the capabilities of the Time Capsule.
An "extender" will not affect the operation of your Time Capsule other than allow wireless devices to connect from a greater range at higher speeds.

HT4145 I want to add airport express. I now have time capsule and I am confuse. Do I setup the express and then time capsule to the express?

Setup the Express to wirelessly extend the Time Capsule, or vice versa depending on which one is already set up. Or you could use bridge mode which involves using an Ethernet cable or Powerline plugs.

Time Capsule not visible when connecting via range extender

Hi,
I have configured a TP-Link WA750RE to expand the range of my Time Capsule's wireless network. The range extender works fine for surfing the web etc., but the Time Capsule doesn't show up as my Time Machine backup device and the Time Capsule is not visible in my Airport Utility. What's even stranger is that when I click on "Configure other" (shift + command + o) in Airport Utility and type in my Time Capsule's IP-address and password, I can still access the devices' configuration menu.
When I move my Macbook very close to my Time Machine to connect directly to the wireless network, leaving out the range extender, none of the above mentioned problems occur. The TP-Link range extender has no NAT or port configuration that could possibly cause this problem, so I'm out of ideas for a way to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance for your help.

A non-apple range extender is not passing the protocols that apple uses.. eg bonjour.. This is a standard problem and why you stick with using Apple's own routers for extensions.

You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

Press any key on the wireless keyboard after you close the MBP and it goes to sleep. The computer will wake up with the external monitor as its display. This is called Clamshell mode.

I'm using Premiere Elements 11, which automatically opens in a project window for HD. I want to reset the default for SD. How can I reset the default for opening a project?

scottypet
For Premiere Elements 11 and 12, you cannot change its default project preset from NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or its PAL counterpart PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25 to something else.
For each project, you can set the project preset manually if you do not want the program to take over setting the project preset based
on the properties of the first drag to the Timeline.
To set the project preset manually, open the project to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, change the project preset. Before you exit that area, be sure to have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in the new project dialog.
Then you import your source media, using the appropriate Add Media choice.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
If you want a version of Premiere Elements that uses the default project preset of NTSC DV Standard or its PAL counterpart PAL DV Standard, then you need to look to a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 11.
Please let me know if you have any further questions on this or need clarification.
Thank you.

Want to use linksys wrt300n as a ethernet bridge while the router is a time capsule.

The time capsule is connect to my modem and my wrt300 is downstairs. What I want to do I use my time capsule a my router and the wrt300 as my ethernet bridge. How do I set my wrt recieve the single from my time capsule. The wrt300. Is running dd-wrt firmware. The reason I want to do this is that I have a slingbox and it needs to be connected by Ethernet. By using the wrt as a Ethernet bridge it should work. I just need to know how.

All sounds good.. tend to use the older dd-wrt firmware to do this.. 2.4 linux kernel is far more successful than later 2.6 versions of dd-wrt.
You must manually setup wireless.. plainly only 2.4ghz is going to work.
So jump into the airport utility manual setup.. and go to the wireless page.
Depending on how old your TC is, setup a wireless name.. no spaces no special characters.. very short also is just as useful as very long. tc24 will do nicely.. Change the name of the 5ghz if it is later model to something also similarly simple.. tc5 might be nice. Call the TC a nice name again no spaces.. which it will have by default.. no special characters pure alphanumeric. TC is nice simple name.. Hard to forget really.
Set manual channels for the 2.4ghz.. this is utterly important.. repeater or bridge does not work with auto bouncing all around the place. Choose a suitable channel out of 1, 6, 11.
5ghz won't matter so you can leave that on auto if you want.
Lastly security..
Let me suggest to start leave security off. Get it setup so you know it works then come back and test the security levels.
I am not sure what to select here.. you want wpa but the dd-wrt says not wpa+wpa2..and apple do not offer straight wpa as the bridge cannot resolve which to use.. you might need to use wpa2.. but that doesn't work on some routers with repeater.. or bridge.. you are going to have a bit of trial and error here.
Make the password something nice.. you guessed it pure alphanumeric.. no spaces, no special characters.
be creative and simple.. tc24passkeynot5 .. of course use what you like.. I am giving examples to make it easier. Update the TC.
Now just do the bridge setup on the WRT300.. there are two kinds of bridge.. client bridge and wireless bridge.. there is also repeater. Client bridge has no routing .. that is what you want. But it does other things which may make you go back. Please note bridges are strange beasts.. this is going to hide clients behind the Linksys MAC address.. and it can lead to issues.
Anyway read the setup tutorial. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Client_Bridged
You will find earlier one if you use the index.. this is also useful to read. And is more extensive.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge
There are several scattered around and I can point you to others.
When you are finished you will often need to reboot both boxes to get the bridge to establish.
Once you are done. See how it goes..
I tend to advise people that wireless bridges are flakey and will do down at the moment you want them to work. You can get EOP adapters which tend to be more reliable and use the WRT300n in wan bypass as a switch and WAP.. This is much more reliable.

My IPOD is already synced to iTunes. My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes. Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes?

My IPOD is already synced to iTunes. My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes. Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes? Also, how does he install ONLY that app on his iPhone without syncing my music also? I haven't done this before with just an app. Thanks.

Since you and your friend aren't married or in the same household (I assume you wouldn't have referred to this person as "my friend" otherwise), what you want to do is not permitted by the terms of use of the iTunes Store.
Your friend should create his own Apple ID. He can use your computer; just have him log into your computer with a user account you create just for him, not your own user account. Doing it that way is almost like having your friend use a different computer, since both Mac OS X and recent versions of Windows do a pretty good job of segregating the data of multiple user accounts.
He can then purchase the app using iTunes and sync it to his iPhone. When he's done, he should log out of your computer.
However, be aware that there is no reason to purchase an app using iTunes on a computer and to then sync it to the iPhone. Your friend can use the App Store app that's installed on the iPhone by default in order to download and install any app he likes from the iTunes App Store.
