Is LAN access turned OFF for Time Capsule guest network by default?

Hello!
I just crated a guest network on Time Capsule with OS X 10.9.4 AirPort Utility.
Could someone tell me if LAN network is unaccessible from Guest network? My shared folders, TC disk and so on. I use DHCP and NAT for Internet connection sharing.
In PC AirPort utility there was a separate box for this - i could easily check that.

The "guest network" operates only on wireless. Clients on the "guest" network only have access to the Internet and other devices.....like a wireless printer....that are also on the "guest" network.
It is not possible to access the "guest" network using the LAN Ethernet ports or any other type of connector.

Solution for Windows 7 can not connect to Time Capsule Guest network

Problem: Sony Vaio running Windows 7 (64bit) will not connect to my Time Capsule Guest network
For added security, I set up a guest network at home. My friend brought over a Vaio and was unable to get an internet connection via my Guest network. The Vaio connected to the Time Capsule with no problem, with full bars, but was not able to get on the internet.
After way too many hours going through useless online suggestions and even calling Apple tech support to see if there might be a known compatibility issue (where I was told they had no idea and I should call Mr Softy) I discovered that the Vaio had somehow set itself to use the DNS Server address of the Time Capsule, main network, not the guest network. (ie Main network uses 10.1...., Guest uses 172.1....) so once I set the Vaio to Obtain DNS server address automatically it fixed the problem and connected to the internet via the Guest network.
Detailed solution:
Configure Time Capsule Guest as follows:
Network Name: fill in the blank
Allow Guest Network to communicate: left unchecked
Guest Network Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Password: fill in the blank
Configure Vaio:
Set up new connection from the Network and Sharing center using the name given to Guest network
(for password chose WPA2-Personal>AES>then your Guest Password)
Select Manage wireless networks from left column in main Network and Sharing center window
Select Adapter Properties
Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to highlight it, and Select Properties
Make sure both Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically are selected then OK & go back to Network and Sharing center
Connection is active.
Hope this helps those condemned to playing system admin for their windows brethren

Great post!
Here are a couple of more methods to add to your bag of tricks:
Method #1: Use Win7's built-in diagnostics to remedy network maladies
• Start > Start Search > type in: ncpa.cpl <Enter>
• Select current active connection.
• Click Diagnose this connection
• Select Reset the network adapter
Method #2: Use the ipconfig tool to renew the DHCP-provided IP address information
• Start, then click Run, and then, type: cmd, and then, press <enter>
• At the prompt, enter the following commands; press <enter> after entering each one:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Time Capsul "Guest Network" has gone down and cannot resuscitate . Main network and back up working fine.

Time Capsul "Guest Network" has gone down and cannot resuscitat. Main Network and back up working fine. Suggestions?

Cisco DPQ 2925 is according to Cisco.....a modem/router or gateway type of device that combines the functions of a modem and router in one package. See info below:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/video/at_home/Cable_Modems/3900_Series/ OL-30824-01.pdf
Unfortunately, the guest network feature will not work correctly when the AirPort is connected to the type of "modem" that you have. If that feature is important to you, please check with your Internet service provider and ask them if they can provide a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway.
Ironically, we have seen a few posts from users who claim to be able to get the guest network to work with the type of "modem" that you have, but to do so will result in what is known as a Double NAT error on the network......basically two devices both trying to act as the router for the network.
That can result in IP address conflicts and other issues created by the Double NAT such as slow browsing, no browsing, poor communications between devices on the network\, and other unpredictable things.
Sometimes, you can get away with a Double NAT issue on a simple home network, but I would not recommend this type of setup.

Turn off failing time capsule hard drive

I am using my old time capsule with failing hard drive to extend my new time capsule wifi network. Can i turn off the failing hard drive in order to stop the error message? There seems to be an ignore option but it is grayed out.

It may not be worth the effort and trouble to open up the Time Capsule to pull the plug that connects to the hard drive, but that will make the error message go away. Some tips here if you decide to do this:

Time Capsule Guest Network Issue!! Help

Hi and tnxs for reading.
I have a TC in bridge mode to my router.
I have activated a main WiFi network and a Guest Network. Today I had a friend at home so I tried for the the first time the Guest Network. However, after 1 minute of trying attemps, he got a time out. I tried with my iphone, ipad and mac, but no results.
I tried to disable and enable again the Guest Network without pwd, but got the same issue.
I read around that Guest Network is not working in bridge mode but don't know if this is the same issue I have, since the network is working but the problem happens when trying to connect. I guess I should get a caution or warning if this is the case....... no worning or messages, but sadly discovered by chance...
Any help?
Cheers

I have a TC in bridge mode to my router.
The Guest Network will not function correctly unless the TC is configured to operate as a router, providing DHCP and NAT information for the network.
It is unfortunate that AirPort Utility 6.x versions display the Guest Network option when it is configured in Bridge Mode.....(previous versions of AirPort Utility 5.x would not even display a Guest Network option when the TC or AirPorts were configured in Bridge Mode.)

Am I OK to turn off my Time Capsule?

I bought my TC principally as a wireless external hard drive but have connected my old wireless router into it and am using the airport feature as well which is fine.
I only use my mac for 30 mins some days and other days not at all, am I ok to turn the TC off when the mac isn't on, it seems like a waste of electricity to leave it on all the time.
Like many others on here it doesn't mount on my desktop now when the mac is turned on but thats another story that I'm trying to fix with the tips on other threads.
Thanks.
Iain.

TC does not automount. You have to mount TC if you wish to access it as a drive, as distinct from using it for Time Machine when it is is mounted by Time Machine and ejected when the back-up is finished. The fact that you mount TC yourself has given rise to some of the problems mentioned in these posts. When TC is mounted on your desktop it seems to give the impression to TC that it is awaiting a back-up. This causes the drive to run and also the fan of which some posters are complaining (Heat and noise). This can only be solved by unmounting the drive.

Do I have to turn off the time capsule?

I just bough a time capsule, but I don´t know if I have to turn it off when I´m not at home, I mean while I´m not using it. I would like to know if it is a better idea to buy a battery backup.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks

The TC can run 24/7 no problems.. but if you are away from home for long periods then there is no issues in turning it off.
Battery backup ??
Just a 2.5" laptop drive in a holder.. sometimes they can be powered directly from USB if the Mac can provide sufficient current. That is better than other methods when you are on the road.

HT3477 Time capsule guest network will not connect to internet

I've set up a guest network on my timecapsule but everytime I attempt to connect to it, it knocks out the internet. I have had it working in the past but for some reason it's no longer working. Has anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks!

If everything was working before, there may have been an interuption of service on the network, so devices may be out of sequence.
Suggest that you power cycle the entire network as follows:
Power everyhing down....all devices...order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself
Start the AirPort Extreme and let it run a minute
Start other devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
Check the network for proper operation

Time capsule guest network problem

I am trying to set up a guest network on my timecapsule. I can get as far as filling in all info in airport utility but after I click update, I recieve a warning " there was a error in you setup" and it shuts down my time capsule and I have to reboot my machine to reestablish its connection. Any idea's out there?
I have tried this process 3 times..with no avail....

The guest network feature requires that the Time Capsule be connected to a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway type of device that is often furnished by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to their customers.
So the first thing to check should be to confirm your modem type. Please provide the make and model number of your "modem" so we can complete the first troubleshooting step.

Time capsule guest network

How does one enable a guest network? I've tried and there's an indication that the guest network has no IP address. Help.

***NOTE*** If the Airport router is in bridge mode you cannot setup a guest network and the above options will not show up.
I guess I am wondering why my Time Capsule configured in Bridge Mode, using Firmware 7.6.3, connected to the "main" AirPort Extreme.....
does now allow the Guest Network to be enabled.

Hi

Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.

After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

Every time my lg g pad 8.3 lte tablet is turned off it reverts the saving email attachment back to internal storage. Every time I turn on, I change it back to save to SD card. It stays that way until it is turned off for more than a minute. If I do a restart, it holds the setting, but loses it when it is shut down for any period of time. Does anyone else have this issue? The setting holds for photos taken with camera storing to SD card. Only the email attachment setting does not hold.

I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.

Can i access my data on time capsule from some other network

can i access my data on time capsule from some other network that is my data at home from office over internet

There is plenty of info out there if you google..
Here is a summary I just put into another thread.
Remote access has been added back into iCloud that was in MobileMe..
Read the info on setting it up from cloud service.. BTMM.
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
If you want to do it without the cloud service, you have one major issue.. the public IP for WAN..
The internal IP of the TC.. which will default to 10.0.1.1 btw.. is irrelevant. It is the IP of the WAN which you use to access the TC over the internet. And here you have a problem.. the TC does not include dyndns service. So unless you have a static IP address from your ISP, this will cause you grief.
(If it is offered by your ISP.. get a static IP.. that eliminates all the issues.. and is far superior. Even dyndns service has issues if your public IP rotates too often. It is generally an extra cost item and requires a business account but some ISP offer it cheap or even free.. I joined an ISP that offered static ip for free because it gives me the ability to remote access my network without all the hassles you will see below.)
There are ways around it.. setting up your own domain for instance.
http://dyn.com/support/airport-time-capsule-with-dynamic-dns/
But it is easier to simply use a different router.. almost all of them have dyndns service available.. place the TC behind the router in bridge and forward port 548 TCP to it.
This is a bit old but still relevant.
http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
Note .. there is no ftp, http, ssh (there is actually but it isn't accessible), or any other service to allow connection other than AFP.. so you must use a Mac in remote location to access the TC.
The setup for the two methods is slightly different in the TC.. in the first instance, you need to turn on WAN access via disk sharing page in the manual setup.
In the second case you do not need this.
Remember security and put strong passwords on the disk. There are still security questions about this.
If security is important.. there is a third and better (IMO) method and that is vpn.. you will need to buy a vpn router as TC also missed out on that.. establish a vpn with the main router and that will allow you access to your network.. you will also then be able to use SMB remotely not just AFP.
Also if this office is a large company they should be running a firewall, which would block your access to home. You should check your IT admin people for what is allowed.. generally the only acceptable method is vpn otherwise you can drag viruses and trojans right into the network without the firewall catching them.
