Is PPTP-ADSL supported with Time Capsule?

As I figured out, internet connection via the WAN port with Time Capsule is only possible in two modes: Ethernet DHCP/static (mostly used with cable modems) and PPPoE (for DSL). However my ADSL modem requires a PPTP connection, which does not seem to be supported. I am stuck with this... any clues? No, and I don't want to use another router device to solve this issue... (which I have to do now).

Hi, I have the same Problem...
In Austria most of the DSL Prividers ONLY !!! support PPTP Protokoll for conecting to the WWW. Every 70 € DSL WLAN Router is able to support this Protokoll. I also hope that Apple will solve this problem with the next Firmware Update.

  • ADSL Broadband With Time capsule

    Hello could someone please help me?
    I currently have ASDL Broadband using a netgear modem router that i want to remove and use the Time capsule, can this be done by pluging the phone line in or do i need to get a modem for the time capsule?
    cheers steve

    You can use either an Ethernet ADSL Modem or a combined ADSL Modem/Router.
    The best option is an Ethernet modem such as the X-Modem or similar as the Time Capsule is already a router and it works well with things like iChat AV without any extra configuration.
    Alternatively you could use virtually any ADSL Router and configure the Time Capsule as a bridge. The downside to this sort of set-up is rather than using the TC as a router you are having to use the ADSL router to do things like sharing and hand out DHCP addresses. This means you may have to make additional configuration settings on the router such as port forwarding or modifying firewall rules for things like iChat AV to work.
    Either way will get you on-line with the TC.

  • Adsl connection with time capsule

    Hi all, I want to know if feasible connect my time capsule to Internet thru ADSL modem, seems is not capable to recognise my USB modem (ZTEMF180)...how can i do to fix this trouble?
    Rgds, Jorge

    The Time Capsule can only connect to a modem using an Ethernet connection. Connect from the modem to the WAN port on the Time Capsule using a standard Ethernet cable of any length that you want.

  • Epson Print Servers compatible with Time Capsule?

    First up: I'm no techie. Epson tells me I will need an Epson print server to enable me to print wirelessly on my ADSL-Time Capsule 500GB (7.3.2)-Airport (5.3.2) network, using an Epson DX8400, which they tell me doesn't support network printing: so far so bad (& so much for the cheap all-in-one printer). Can anyone tell me (if there is no other way of achieving wireless printing) if the Epson print servers are compatible with Time Capsule? I don't have the tech spec to hand, but there are only 3 PSs on the Epson website, 2 of which appear to be the same but vary by a few pounds in price (about GBP150). This was an expense I didn't want, but if I can print wirelessly (AND IT WORKS!) I will pay it, because I want to get a desktop model as well soon & will want to print wirelessly from that as well. I have posted this to the Time Capsule forum as well, but any help gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

    yep am using a  usb hub,time cap. has only the one usb port- yes two usb outs on the hard drive , sorry, which merge into one into the hd, is bus powered...

  • Modem/Router to use with Time Capsule

    Hi forum,
    I would like to work around a DOUBLE-NAT problem that I am encountering in my business network.
    Currently, my ADSL modem/router is an Orange Livebox which creates its own internal network (192.168.1.x).
    My Time Capsule is connected through ethernet to this LiveBox in DHCP/NAT mode. It creates a second internal network (10.0.1.x). All the rest of the network equipment is attached wirelessly or by ethernet to the TC network. My goal is to manage the network (ports, dhcp addresses, etc.) through my Time Capsule, not through the Livebox. That is why I configured TC in DHCP/NAT mode.
    The downside is that it creates a Double-Nat problem, because each packet is going through both networks (192.168.x.x and 10.0.x.x). Lately, Apple Support is telling me that this Double-Nat issue could be the cause for failing to answer iPhone calls directly from my MacBook Pro (new feature of Yosemite) when connected in my business network, where it works perfectly when connected from home in where there is no Double-Nat issue.
    I contacted Orange Livebox technical support and asked wether it was possible to de-activate the router portion of the Livebox, at least the DHCP/NAT portion of the box since I would not mind to keep the built-in firewall of the box. But the answer was no. It looks like I cannot turn off the router portion of the Livebox at all, so my only solution for them is to enable the bridge mode on TC, which I still don't want.
    I was told to buy a ADSL2 modem and replace my Livebox with it, so TC would effectively become the only router on the network. That looks to me like a satisfying solution (at least on paper).
    Would any of you know and recommend a particular brand/model to work with Time Capsule. Ideally, what i would like this modem/router to do is :
    Modem part: connect with my provider in ADSL2 and provides my credential to establish the connection
    Router part:
    DHCP/NAT = OFF
    built-in firewall = ON
    I assume it would be the best way to get the best of my Time Capsule (802.11n - 3rd Gen).
    Thanks for your help or advices on the matter,
    Lanceloz

    I believe I followed your structure step by step. And here is what I got (see attached files). Hence my question about the TC hardware and software version that you are using.

  • Airtune Over Ethernet  with Time Capsule or Airport Extreme

    Can the previous generation Time Capsule or Airport Extreme bridge an ethernet client to an Airtunes network?
    Current Setup: I have an aluminum iMac wired to my Time Capsule; currently, I use the aluminum as a music server by connecting to several Airport Express clients over the the iMac's built-in Airport for Airtunes support.
    Problem: I have 3-802.11g clients dragging my wifi network. I would like to dedicate the iMac's internal network to the g-clients so I don't have to use compatibility mode for my n-network. However, I will lose Airtunes speaker support when I use internet sharing over the built-in Airport. Airtunes does not appear to support the Time Capsule ethernet client.
    Nodes:
    -AE 802.11g (Airtunes only)
    -AE 802.11n (Airtunes and USB printer)
    -1st gen Time Capsule (Internet gateway, "creating network" 802.11 g/n,
    -iMac 8,1 (Music server via internal wifi, wired TC client)
    -Macbook 4,1 (wifi client)
    -iPhone
    -Canon MP620 (USB to iMac, wifi to Macbook)

    Further to Bob's comments..
    A Gen1 TC will be using marvel wireless chip and your 2008 and 2010 Macbook will use atheros and/or broadcom cards.. Just open your system profiler and look for info on the airport. We find the mixture of wireless chipsets especially older draft N and later N products can give very varied results.
    The very fact you are linking at 270 and not 300mbps shows some reduction from theoretical max speed.. and really to get over 100mbps with any wireless you need perfect setup.. matched wireless chips etc.
    Do a test uploading and downloading a file to the TC to see if the LAN speed is better than internet speed.
    In reality I think you are doing especially well.. we see loads of people complaining about slow internet here who are getting less than 10% of the speed they get direct when routed through the TC. And on most occasions the limit in speed is not really going to affect what you do, as the real links to the internet are not that fast.

  • Setting up new HP Laserjet CP1525nw wirelessly with Time Capsule

    Im having issues setting up my new HP Laser printer via wirelessly with Time Capsule. I have tried with the Wireless Client Setup
    Assistant but cannot get it to work. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    I tried to get the CP1525nw set up on my computer here at the office and found, much to my chagrin, that the CP1525 is not supported under 10.7 and retroactively not supported under 10.6. The way that I have found to get around the issue is to connect it wirelessly via a static IP address and use a generic postscript driver. I'm hoping that they will release a driver to Apple soon, but until then, generic is the only way to go and I have not found any print quality issues.

  • Problem with Time Capsule WIFI Network

    Here's what happened to me suddenly at 15.
    I have 1 TB Time Capsule connected to DLINK adsl modem. Time Capsule is connected by Ethernet to a PC, by wireless an iMac, MacBook, PC Notebook, 2iPhones, 1 iPad. Password-protected network.
    Start the iPhone to tell me that the password for network access is not right. Therewrite, same problem. It does not connect anymore. Then I try with iPad. Even theycan not surf, it asks me the password, says "Unable to access the network xxx".
    I go to the PC and I have no problem connecting. I turn on the notebook, same problem, does not accept passoword and can not connect. Restart the iMac and thenworked up and surprise me asking for the password of the wireless network, I enterthe correct password, and does not connect.
    Recovery Time Capsule, change the network name etc etc. ...
    same Problem
    Am referring again, do I reset everything, I create new network ..
    With PC and iphone does not change anything, not even with iPad, beginning with the iMac is connected, but the connection is very slow ... and then stops.
    When I connected the iMac via Ethernet and even navigate without any problems.
    So I think that something is broken or damaged at the wireless Time Capsule.Yesterday I updated Airport Utility ... maybe you can 'hit something?
    I also googled and I read that many TC died after 18 months. I have bought for Christmas 2010 ... and have now gone 18 months!

    Maybe now it's ok. The problem was caused by the utility airport update on my Pc with Windows 7. I installed 5.5.2 version again, and now no problem with all devices.
    Anyone can explain me if is it possible?

  • Linksys WAG160N with Time Capsule ?

    Does anyone out there use a Linksys WAG160N ADSL2+ modem, with Time Capsule connected to it wirelessly, or even hardwired? I'd love to compare settings 'cos I can't get things to work.
    Also, if someone does have the Linksys WAG160N and has successfully updated firmware from a Mac, would like to hear from them. I'm trying to update the Linksys firmware from version 1.00.07 to 1.00.09, but process just doesn't want to complete.
    Cheers

    First, WET11 only support WEP, no WPA!
    To get TC to use WEP, you must run it as 802.11b/g only network. (You can enable it by opt-click the radio mode list box in the manual setup) And then WEP will appear under the security option.
    I had one, and decided I don't want to run the Apple base station in b/g mode only, so I purchases an airport express in the end.

  • Use Network ready printer with Time Capsule?

    Recently bought a laser all in one Canon printer that was network ready. Canon tech support told me it would not be compatible with Time Capsule (500 GB) as the wireless source. Is this true?
    If true, what printer brands will network easily with the Time Capsule?
    Thank you!
    In search of new printer

    Welcome to the discussions!
    If the all-in-one is "network ready", it will have an ethernet port to connect to the network. It will need to connect by ethernet if you want to be able to use the scan, fax, copy, etc functions.
    If you are planning to connect the all-in-one to the Time Capsule USB port, the printing function will work if the device is compatible. The other functions will not be supported.

  • 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.

  • Clear net connectivity with time capsule/home network

    So Chicago has a new ISP - Clear. It is a wireless provider that boasts download speeds up to 12mbps. I have been using ATT DSL elite pro with time capsule as my wireless hub. I have extended my network via airport express and have two that power speakers/home entertainment system.
    I have it up and running and connected directly from their router to my iMac. I would like to attach the motorola wireless router to my current home network that runs between the timecapsule and two airport expresses.
    Any help would be appreciated. As well your opinions on choice of wireless ISPs vs home dsl line.
    Thanks
    Jenn

    From your description, it sounds like you could swap the Clear modem and the AT&T modem/router. Power down your entire network for a moment. Then start the Clear modem first and let it run for 3-4 minutes, then start the Time Capsule, then Expresses and computers.
    If you get a blinking amber light on the Time Capsule, check your settings as follows using AirPort Utility. It's located as follows: Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup and then click the Internet icon at top of the setup page
    At the bottom of the next page, look for the Connection Sharing setting. If I understand the Clear info correctly, you would set this to "Share a public IP address"
    I notice that Clear has online tech support, so you make need to refer to them as well. Please post back on your progress.

  • My MacBook Po can not connet with Time Capsule for Internet. Back-up are ok

    Hi to all,
    If I connect the ADSL line to Time Capsule no Internett available.
    If connect the live with eternet cable to MacBook pro all is fine.
    Mack book pro do all the backup with Time Capsule in WiFi
    Hot to have the MacBook connectid to Time Capsule in WiFe for internet too??
    Easy explanation please, I'm really beginner

    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.

  • Can i use existing airport with Time Capsule

    i have already bought an airport, but can i use it with Time Capsule  OR do I need to buy the $299 Time Capsule wireless hard drive?

    If you are telling us that you have already bought an AirPort Extreme, and that you want to connect a USB hard drive to the AirPort and use that for Time Machine backups, this is not officially supported by Apple.
    Some users seem to be able to make this work, while others.....like me....who try this have nothing but problems.
    To be officially supported, you need to connect a hard drive directly to your Mac for Time Machine backups or use a Time Capsule.
