Is it possible to run my 2013 Time Capsule with no wireless password?

I just bought a 2013 Time Capsule router to replace my first gen Time Capsule
Will this thing let me run it with no security?
I prefer to run my home network without any password so my guests and friends can use it.
I know it's not recommended but I have never had a problem in 15 years.

You are using the wrong setting.
Click Cancel to get out of AirPort Utility without making any changes.
Then, follow these instructions exactly.
Open AirPort Utility again, click on the Time Capsule icon and click Edit
Click the Wireless tab
Change the setting for Wireless Security to None
Click Update to save the changes

Using Time Capsule with 2nd wireless router

Hi,
I have been trying to extend my time capsule and have had limited luck.
I have my time capsule in my office which is a separate building behind my house. The cable internet service runs to this location. I purchased an airport express and put that in the house so we would have wireless access in the house. I have tried every location available in the house and it is still really slow. (I get a transmit rate of 270 in the office. In the house it ranges from 7 to 20).
So, I was thinking maybe I could run a 30ft or so ethernet cable from the time capsule to another wireless n router in the house. So when out in the office I would connect to the TC and in the house to the Linksys (or whatever I buy). My question: would this even work? Can I have 2 wireless routers and would the Linksys work if it was connected via ethernet to the timecapsule vs. being connected directly to the cable modem?
Alternatively, can you connect 2 cable modems to one incoming cable line if I could find another cable modem somewhere?

Sure, happy to help.
Temporarily, move the Express close to your computer and connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the Express for the configuration.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Select your AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode...set to Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name...Exact same name as your Time Capsule network
Radio Mode....802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) would be a good choice
Wireless Channel...Automatic
Wireless Security....Exact same setting as your Time Capsule network
Wireless Password....Exact same setting as your Time Capsule network
Wireless
Click the Internet icon
Look for the setting for Connection Sharing at the bottom of the page and set this to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update at the lower right of the window and close AirPort Utility immediately and disconnect the ethernet cable as soon as you see the message that your settings have been stored.
You can now move the Express to the location you need and connect the ethernet cable and power it up.

Using Time Capsule with existing wireless router

I am thinking about getting a TC, but I wanted to know if the following configuration would work:
DSL modem to existing wireless B router. Then have the TC recieve internet from the existing wireless router.
Basically I want to put the old router in the basement where the only wiring is, but put the TC upstairs on my desk so I can connect the printer to it.
Thanks!

Although, you can join an existing network using a Time Capsule as a wireless client, it’s recommended that the existing network is an 802.11n network.

Using Time Capsule with Rogers Wireless Rocket Hub

Hello, I've moved to a rural area where the only internet service available is a high speed wireless (I'm using a Rogers Rocket hub). Previously I used my Time capsule for router/back ups but I now must use the router funtionality of the hub. Is there a way to still use the TC for daily backups (by wireless or Ethernet cable if necessary)? If it can be done, does backup traffic locally count towards my monthly bandwidth limit?

Does the rocket hub have ethernet port.. if it does then life is easy.. ?? If it doesn't then life just became very hard. The TC is really designed around using internet by ethernet connection.. and nothing else.
Just so you do know, it is possible to join a TC to a wireless network.. and still do backups to it.. but the speed will be super slow.. and will overload your wireless network for as long as backups are going.
Is there a way to still use the TC for daily backups (by wireless or Ethernet cable if necessary)? If it can be done, does backup traffic locally count towards my monthly bandwidth limit?
Backup traffic is still local LAN and does not count to your ISP usage.
The best way to do this is with ethernet to the client computer, if you cannot use ethernet to the main router.
Are you using a desktop or a laptop? Desktop is no problem.. but I would also have to add, that backups can be done to a USB drive that is faster and more reliable than using TC.
If you want to use laptop.. you have some nasty choices.
Slow backup with the TC connected by wireless to the main router.
Do backups and do internet as separate tasks.. swap over each night say to do a backup.
Or buy a USB wireless stick for your laptop.. these can be very small an unobtrusive now.. with a second wireless client in the computer you can do both internet and backup at the same time over different networks. If you go for this idea, tell me and I can give more instructions for the setup.

How to connect time capsule with o2 wireless box IV

I have recently changed to o2 broadband. O2 supplied a wireless boxIV which is a modem router. I would like to use the wifi function of my time capsule but there seem to be no easy bridge function on the o2 wireless box IV. Any suggestions please?

If you are not able to configure the O2 device as a bridge, your remaining option is to configure the Time Capsule in bridge mode.
The Guest Network feature is not available when the Time Capsule is configured as a bridge, but otherwise, you will be able to configure it to provide a dual band wireless network for your devices and also provide Ethernet connections if needed.
You can choose to ignore the wireless network provided by the O2 device, or if you have access to the configuration settings, it should be a simple task to turn off the wireless function of the O2 gateway.

Time capsule with Belkin wireless router

I have recently bought a Time Capsule (1TB) and have it set up with my existing Belkin router. This is a F5D9630-4 model which is only G+ MIMO so I've disabled the wireless capability on that and use the TC for wireless. At the moment the TC is in bridge mode allowing the Belkin to handle the DCHP stuff. Everything seems to work fine - I have a PC laptop and iPhone as well as the Mac and all communicate and connect to the internet with no problems.
However, I've just signed up for a MobileMe trial and hoped to try Back to My Mac. Unfortunately, I get a message saying it won't work because "Back to My Mac requires a router that supports NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) in order to share services." What's strange is that both are enabled on my Belkin. Should I disable them and set up NAT on the TC or am I missing something else? Should it be the Belkin that is in bridge mode and the TC that handles the DCHP?
Anyone got any other ideas? I find it all very confusing having the two devices - if only apple did a TC with built in modem!

I have a similar set up and it works fine. Make sure your router is up to date and reboot it after enabling the UPNP option. I do get the green light at home with the similar setup.
At work, with the same exact setup, I don't get the green light, only the yellow one like you do. It does work anyway... so have you actually tried it from outside your network?

Can I use Time Capsule with Broadband wireless router that also feeds a PC?

I have just bought Time Capsule but am afraid to open it in case it stops the wireless broadband connection to my Mac and a PC in another room. Any advice?

There is no vpn built into the native firmware of N16 so I presume you are going to use third party.
Just plug in the TC and bridge it.. ie go to Internet tab of airport utility and select connection sharing off.
wireless then you will need to figure out.. you can setup roaming on 2.4ghz by using identical wireless name = ssid and security but lock both to different channels.. pick out of 1, 6, 11
In a PC network make sure you use the TC with a new name.. no spaces no special characters.. same with wireless. TC also restrict wireless on 2.4ghz to only 20mhz.. if you have the N16 set to 40mhz you will have to be extra careful with channels.. 40mhz will use up two channels and only one remains.. so your household will have filled the 2.4ghz.
Someone suggested you can turn off 2.4ghz in the TC by not naming it.. When I try that it kicks up an error that it has to be named. So perhaps someone else has a suggestion of how to turn off 2.4ghz.
You can turn off 5ghz by unchecking it. Seems mighty strange that you cannot turn off 2.4ghz but you can turn off 5ghz.

Setting up time capsule with existing wireless router and another time capsule

Hello,
I just bought my first mac (MBP) and a time capsule. We already have a wireless router, and my brother has an imac and his time capsule connected to it. The apple support people said that i couldn't use my new time capsule as a backup for my files because it would have to be in bridge mode and that would cause all sorts of problems and the backup would probably fail. That I would have to use my brother's time capsule to back up my files.
Is this true?? I find it hard to believe this issue hasn;t come up before.
Thanks,
Deborah

Thanks, Bob! If I may impose on you a little bit more, would you be able to guide me a little bit in terms of the setup?
Would I need to connect my time capsule directly to the router for first time set up?
If so, would I have to keep it connected to the router all the time after the first time set up, or can I keep it in another room?
Our wireless network was created back when we were a Windows household, so we still control it using Network Magic on an old laptop.
I unlocked the network (using Network Magic) when I tried to set up the Time Capsule (wirelessly, and before calling Apple), and after entering the network password my macbook recognized the TC and I got the good little green light on the TC. As soon as I locked up the network, I got the flashing amber light on the TC and airport utility couldn't find it anymore (using Airport utility version 6.1)... I unlocked the network again, the light turned green. I locked it back up, the light started flashing amber again...
Thanks, I really appreciate your help!

Setting up a Time Capsule with Verizon Wireless Router

I am trying to set up my TC with a Verizon Wiresless Router. I wish to use the TC's wiresless signal and shut off the Verizon signal (can do). I plugged the TC via ethernet, into port 2 on the verizon router and in the WAN connection on the TC. I am getting a blinking amber light. No idea where to go, I cannot access the TC via my iMac and the ethernet port on the iMac doesn't work (broken since new!) Help much appreciated. I will want to use the TC to back up the iMac and two macbooks. THANK YOU!

Ok, I found the TC on the iMac after restarting the airport utility!

How to use time capsule with Verizon wireless modem

What is best setup for TC and Verizon's Ultraline wireless modem. Thanks!

Bridge the TC..
I am assuming this is cable internet.. not wireless.
Just leave the Verizon doing what it is doing.. with the TC bridged you just plug it into the modem with ethernet.
To bridge the TC go to dhcp and NAT page for v6 utility.. or Internet tab for v5 utility and pick the connection sharing off bridge mode.

Is it possible to use Time Capsule with Apple TV? Without having our macbook pro, iPhones or iPads as middle link?

Hi there.
I wanted to buy a time capsule - But my big question is : Is it possible to use the time capsule with Apple Tv ( Newest generation.) without having an Iphone, Ipad or mac as middlelink?
So if I example want to have all our music and dvds on the Time Capsule and watch/hear it on my TV. Do I have to have one of our macbook pro's started up to get it to work?
Hope you understand what I'm trying to say here.. ? Hehe.
Best Regards
Christian

But then I can have all dvds and music on a time capsule and then run it via itunes on my mac and from there to the apple tv
Yes, if you move the iTunes Media Folder to the Time Capsule.
But.....if you move the iTune Media Folder to the Time Capsule.....how are you planning to back up this important data?
(You will lose everything in the Media Folder when.....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem and you do not have a backup copy.)
A much safer plan would be to keep the iTunes Media Folder on your Mac.....or add another hard drive connected to the Mac and move the Media Folder to that drive.
Then Time Machine will backup both your Mac and and hard drive. So, you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.

How can I use my time capsule with Ethernet cable? How is it also possible to use time capsule as a normal external hard drive?

My problem is that I don't know how to use my Time Capsule with Ethernet Cable, as when I use wireless it is really slow.

Make sure that there is an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your modem/wireless router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule
Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the page
Change the setting for Wireless Mode to Off (I assume that you do not want the Time Capsule to provide a wireless network since you already have a wireless network)
Next, click the Internet icon at the top of the screen, then click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click the Update button at the bottom and wait 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart and display a green light
Then, you must power off your entire network...all devices....in any order that you want
Wait a minute
Start your modem/router first and let it run a minute
Start the Time Capsule and let it run a minute
Keep starting devices one at a time until everything is powered up
If you are using Time Machine for backups, you will need to reset the connection because you have changed the way in which the Time Capsule connects to your network
Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Open Time Machine
Click Select Disk
Click the Time Capsule to highlight it
Click Use for Backup or, it might be Use Disk
Now you can connect your Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to back up using Ethernet. Be sure to turn off the wireless on your Mac before you start the backup.
If you want to backup using wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Time Capsule and turn on the wireless and connect to your wireless network. Your computer will now backup using wireless.

Is it possible to run Labview ver 6.5 with PowerPC as the target CPU and VxWorks as the target operating system? If version 6.5 does not support this configuration, do any of the later versions support it?

I have an Ada executable that's creating a buffer of data that's being fed to a Labview executable that's displaying the data in a GUI. We're re-architecting some legacy system hardware and I'm just trying to figure out if this configuration is even possible.
Thanks

Hi,
I never heard of LabVIEW6.5. I only know of LV6i, LV6.1 and LV7.0...
Why don't you just call your next/regional NI sales rep?

I basically have an Ada executable and Labview executable that currently run on a Sun Machine with Solaris as the operating system. I'm re-architecting the system hardware and will be getting rid of the Sun Machine and Solaris. I'm don't have any issues with the Ada executable, but I'm not sure what configurations Labview supports.

I have a Time Capsule with the internal disk drive. I have copied my photos and music to the internal drive. Is it possible to access the photos etc. using my Apple Tv to see it on my TV, iPads etc? on my home WIFI.

I have loaded my Time Capsule with my photos, videos, music etc. I want to access these using my Apple TV on my home WIFI for display on my tv's, and Ipads, Has anyone figured out a way to do this? I can do it by access to my Macbook but that's not always convenient.

If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
They might be fixable but I do not know how.
