SOLUTION TO Time Capsule and extend wireless network using AEBS, Printers..

Hello GUYS
I find the solution: at least I have extended wireless using TC and old AEBS.
: well everybody have same problems to initialize second AEBS, and set it up.
OK follow this steps:
put next to each other TC (time capsule) and AEBS (airport extreme) -> switch AEBS off
If you followed installation TC correctly it should work without any problem.
SETING UP TC PART 1
pres in finder Command + Shift + U =then click Airport utility
set your TC with manual.
On piece of paper record Airport ID:
Click on TIME CAPSULE
I recommend change name not to use deffault long name for TC. Simply call it TC if you want. Set password.
In wireless. Write a name of your Network, keep it simple TC627 what ever. Write it down on paper. security WPA2 personal and password.
Update. and close utility
End of part 1
Part 2:
AEBS setup.
Switch AEBS on: No need to switch off TC
Press reset button for more than 5 sec. so everything is restore to factory settings.
-> in the bar top click wireless and select AEBS. You have to do this otherwise Airport utility will not recognise AEBS.
When you are done. Command shift U
Click airport utility. and manual setup.
-> write down the Airport ID.
Set up your AEBS, name something simple so you know what it is. Password and security.
Here do yourself favor use the same passwords as on TC and security.
NOW ->
click Wireless.
*Wireless network has to be same as on TC.*( it is on the paper)
Select Participate in wireless network
Radio mode b,g compatible or only N it is up to you.
I setup WPA2Personal again with the same password( same on TC)
Click WDS
Select WDS remote
select Allow wireless clients
and now write the TC airport ID into WDS main: number (it is on your paper)
Update.
switch off utility.
no go to right top and change airport back to TC.
Go to manual
Click Wireless:
Select Participate in WDS Network
Click WDS: wds mode to Main
allow wireless clients: and write into WDS remotes AEBS ID, (it is on the paper).
and update.
both airports will restart.
and you are extended.
You made it. Go to Utility Cmd,shift, U and you should be able to see both airports.
Now what you have to do is to take AEBS to different place.
Put it somewhere in second room. Go back to your computer. Leave it for couple of minutes. 10 -15 is ok.
to make sure your TC can find AEBS. If not TC will indicate by flashing green and orange. = >AEBS has to be closer.
correct is that TC has still green light.
Before you start with time machine: read what files to include
hope it helps.

Time Capsule and iTunes set up not working, please help.

I have moved my itunes library to my time capsule and changed my itunes preferred path to its time capsule location. However when I restart my apple laptop, after having shut it off for the night, and open itunes (time capsule is visible and accessible to the laptop), itunes has reversed the preferred path I set to point to my time capsule to my local laptop hard drive instead. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have looked in other discussions concerning lost itunes file paths, however I never had this issue with my wired external drive; and I only start iTunes after I am sure that my computer can access the files on my time capsule. Thank you.
My laptop is a Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz running Mac OS X (10.5.2)

If you're still experiencing "disconnects," even with the earlier firmware, but not experiencing these at all when directly connecting your computer to the modem, there is a good chance that one of the following may still be the problem:
o Bad Ethernet cable between the D-Link & TC.
o The TC is faulty.
o The D-Link is faulty.
o The TC & D-Link are just not compatible with each other.
o The ADSL signal strength, coming from your ISP into the D-Link, may need "tuning."
I'd start with trying a known good Ethernet cable. If that doesn't resolve the problem try contacting your ISP/ADSL-Provider next to see if they can run a ADSL line diagnostic to verify that there is a good signal to the D-Link; While you have them on the line, see if they can provide you with another modem.
Finally, if available to you, try temporarily replacing the current TC with another TC or another wireless router.

XBOX ONE. I have the xbox one and the airport time capsule and cant connect to most xbox live games and zero parties. I have 0 experience in all this but somehow was able to change NAT to open but still wont connect. HELLLPPPP

Okay folks, I need your help out there.
So the nerdy side of me went and picked up the XBOX ONE on release day. Its awesome by the way, BUT..... I cant seem to connect to most xbox live games and absolutely ZERO parties. At first I just thought it was something to do with the xbox itself and would eventually fix itself, but i was wrong. After looking into it on microsoft, i found out that it had to do with my NAT settings on the airport itself. I guess apple and xbox are not compatiable for xbox live and it makes it difficult to have an open NAT setting and is a huge PAIN.
I was able to pinpoint one that the airport time capsule was blocking the IPV6 something or another. Anyways, I unblocked that, and reset the modem and time capsule and jumped on the xbox and now have open NAT settings but still cant connect to multi-player.
Upon further searching, i was told to uncheck the UPNP on my time capsule as well, but have no idea how to find that.
I know it seems confusing, but thats the best i can describe it.
tthanks all

Be a long long time before I see an Xbox One.. but whoever told you to uncheck the upnp in the TC.. tell them their dreamin' .. upnp is not support by Apple in any computer or router, never has been.. Apple deliberately wrote their own version called NAT-PMP to do the same thing.. dynamically open ports at the request of an application or client computer.
So there is nothing like that to uncheck.. and as a matter of interest.. there no box to check or uncheck for NAT-PMP either.. since apple do not believe in end user adjustment of settings.. they simply do not exist.
You will have to manually forward all ports required by the Xbox via the TC. For multi-player games you probably need to open more ports than the standard to allow just xbox live. You will need to check the ports required and open them.
OR
Buy a standard vista UPNP compatible router.. and use that.. and simply put the TC in bridge in the network.
I have not seen posts yet about xbox one.. but there are plenty about xbox and ps3 and the fact that Apple really doesn't give a hoot about games consoles.
This is a good basic post for older xbox.

Time capsules and samsung blue ray player

i am trying to connect my samsung c6500 to time capsule and it reference some gateway ping issues. any clues what to do?

Are you trying to connect with wireless or ethernet?
Does the TC have a windows compatible setup.. ?
this means using names for everything in the TC that comply to windows network standards..
Short.. 2-20 characters
No spaces
Pure alphanumeric.
For everything that the Samsung is going to see. But it is better to apply it to everything.
It can be a help to set windows workgroup as well but you won't see such thing unless you use the 5.6 or earlier utility.

First generation time capsule and older air express with Lion

I think the change/update to Netatalk has left many of Apples own devices stranded on Lion. I had to eliminate my backup to time capsule and move it to a local firewire drive. Printing has also slowed to a crawl.. no more hit print and get from printer; now it is several minutes.
What have your experiences been on these older Apple devices. Has anyone found a way to update or heard if Apple plan to make updates available. I assume the go to market of Lion did not allow time for regression testing on an array of Apple devicea.
I guess one fix is to get rid of and purchase all new devices. that is not very green let alone consumer friendly...
Any solutions welcome!

Unfortunately, you are experiencing one of the downsides to 5 GHz. That's because the higher frequency 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.
After all, you always have to give up something to gain something else. In the case of 5 GHz, you gain potential speed but in return, you must give up penetration power and distance capability.
In order to work well, 5 GHz signals need to almost have a line-of-sight relationship between devices. Unless you can achieve this, you will do much better to leave the Time Capsule running at the 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4 GHz Radio Mode and allow the Express devices to "extend" that network.
As for the location of the AirPort Express devices in an exended network, that is critical for best performance. That's because the Express can only "extend" the quality and bandwidth of the signal that it receives. Post back if you need a few more tips on how to find the best location for the AirPort Express devices.
Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
Unfortunately, no.

Setting up a Time Capsule and dealing with security

Here's an interesting problem/question.
I had very little trouble setting up my TC on my MPB wirelessly. However, my old PB G4 800Mhz with the original airport card couldn't connect. It would keep timing out. Finally, I called Tech Support and think it managed to stump even the tech support. There was a point the TC wouldn't even work with the MBP. Finally, I unplugged the TC, did a hardware reset then a software reset. In factory default mode, with no security, this PB can connect. However, if I turn on any form of security (WEP,WPA, anything), the PB can't connect.
Has anyone come across an issue like this? And how did you solve it? Is this clear enough?

2) What's the difference between joining a network and extending it? Wouldn't joining a network extend its range?
When joining an existing wireless network, an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is acting just like any other wireless client (laptop, desktop, printer, etc.); its basic router functions are disabled. When extending an existing wireless network it will "extend" the network connectivity (including Internet access if available) from the base station. The latter is called a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). With the introduction of the 802.11n base stations another method of extending a wireless network was also introduced. This new method retains a 802.11n wireless network by only working with another 802.11n AirPort, whereas a WDS will only operate in 802.11g.
4) Is there any difference between WEP (Transitional Security Network) on the Time Capsule and WEP 128 bit on the Airport Express?
Sort of. WEP Transitional is a "hybrid" version of WEP that's supported on 802.11n networks that will have 802.11b/g WEP clients. WEP 128-bit is only available in either the 802.11b/g-compatible, 802.11g only or 802.11b only radio modes.

Create a WDS with Motorola SBG6580 Time Capsule and Express

I have a Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 and enabled bridging. Has anyone successfully used this cable modem as part of a WDS? I'd like to have the SBG6580 as the main base and then use an older 1TB Time Capsule and Airport Express to extend the wireless network. At the moment I cannot get the TC to see the SBG's wireless network. I can manually enter the network name and password but it cannot connect.

Unfortunately, the Time Capsule will only wirelessly extend a signal from another Apple router. It is not compatible with the wireless signal from the Motorola SBG6580 for this type of purpose.
What you can do.....is establish a permanent Ethernet cable connection between the SBG6580 and Time Capsule and then configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless network using the exact same name and password as the Motorola network.
That will result in one "big" wireless network, effectively extending the Motorola network.
The downside....the Time Capsule must remain permanently connected using an Ethernet cable back to the Motorola SBG6580.
The upside.....Ethernet can be run up to 330 feet or 100 meters with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule just about anywhere that you want.

Time Capsule and Xfinity Routers

I had been using a Time Capsule for a couple years: first with Comcast, then with ATT Uverse, and then back to Comcast. Last year the Time Capsule drive died so I bought a new 2TB Time Capsule. I have been having a recurring problem with this new Time Capsule where every day (usually between Noon and 4PM) the green light turns auburn, the Time Capsule seems to reset itself for 90 seconds or so, and then goes green again. Sometimes it happens late at night 2amish. This usually happens once per day, which in theory shouldn't be a major problem but when I work at home Noon-4PM is a problem. I never had this problem with my old Time Capsule or if it did the same thing it was resetting very late at night when I was asleep.
I called Apple tech support. They said it was a problem with the wifi on my Xfinity modem conflicting with the Time Capsule and I needed to get Xfinity to turn the Wifi off on the modem, which is a SMCD3GNV model. Xfinity told me that I can just use the button on the modem to turn off Wifi. I did. Same problem with the Time Capsule so I called Apple again. The next time Apple told me to have Comcast disable SSID on my modem and open all ports on the modem. Comcast disabled SSID but to have them talk me through opening all ports required paid customer support, and to be honest, I've not really found their service reps to be that smart. I am still experiencing the same problem with the Time Capsule (every day). I should add that the Wifi light is unlit on the Xfinity modem but when I login to the admin interface via my Web browser, I still see Wifi checked.
So, I have 3 questions:
(1) I saw in another thread that there are problems with the latest Time Capsules. Maybe this is a single user problem. Or maybe it is a larger problem. If it is a larger problem, this Time Capsule is still under warranty. I could return it and just use a WD drive via Time Machine and turn the Wifi back on on the Xfinity for a lot less money. But if this was a single user problem then that leads to (2) and (3)
(2) Do I need to turn off the Wifi in the Xfinity admin Web interface since I still see a green checkmark next to Wifi? The signal name no longer appears when I click on the airport icon at the top of my screen, so I assume that the signal is off, but if I need to turn off in the admin Web browser window, how do I do that?
(3) Is there a way for me to open all ports via the Xfinity admin Web interface? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks.

If you have phone service via the xfinity modem you may be stuck with using it in router mode. It depends how phone service is being handled. Nor do you need to do any port opening to the TC.. the TC MUST be in bridge mode..
I downloaded the manual for the SMC
http://media2.comcast.net/anon.comcastonline2/support/userguides/SMCD3GNV_User_G uide.pdf
but it has no details at all.. if you know where there is a more detailed user manual with full guide to the setup of the router please give me the URL.
In bridge there are no ports being blocked. There is one and only one router in such a newtork, the SMC.
The only reason to open ports in the xfinitiy is because both the xfinitiy and the TC are in router mode.. this is the wrong setup at any time.
If you want to pursue the issue.. then you need to be prepared to do a bit of work on the settings of the TC.. and study the logs to see if you can find where the failure occurs.
But you need to know the issue is not the SMC .. so if the TC is off.. then there are no dropouts???
If that is the case the TC needs to firstly have a full factory reset.
The quick method of factory reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
Redo the setup with all SMB compatible names.. that means.. short.. 2-20 characters, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Use fixed wireless channels.. this is really important to keep the SMC separate from the TC. So fix channels on both device.. is what I would recommend. There are only 3 channels that do not overlap.. 1, 6, 11 at 2.4ghz .. set one device to 1 and the other device to 11.
5ghz is less of a problem and the SMC doesn't use it.
Now using a 5.6 utility you need to keep track of the log in the TC and watch when the drop out occurs.
There is also a wireless check in the utility.
I do recommend you set the DCHP server in the SMC which is handling the whole network, to a very short lease time.. eg 20min.
Give me some screen shots of the setup of the TC as you have it now. Particularly the wireless and network setup.

Airport Express + Time Capsule and wireless access to internet

I have a wireless internet provider. It's an open access without encryption.
I would like to have the airport express connect wirelessly to the internet then connect the airport express by ethernet wire to the WAN port in the time capsule and then have a local encrypted network from the time capsule in order to access with my mac book wirelessly to the time capsule.
I tried all ways of configuring it but none worked.
Do you know if it is possible and what should I configure ?
If somebody can help me... I am getting crazy with that...

This will not work. The Ethernet port on the AirPort Express (AX) is active only when the AX uses WDS to wirelessly join a network. Unfortunately this requires you to be using a compatible base station to create the wireless network AND you must configure the base station and AX to connect using WDS.

Time Capsule and 2008 Airport Express

I'm getting a Time Capsule 2TB and I have a 2008 AirPort Express. Here are my questions: Will I be able to connect a 2008 Airport Express to the current Time Capsule. Will the connection speed of my AirPort Express affect the rest of the devices connecting to the Time Capsule? I remember that the earlier Express was not compatible with the Airport Extreme and I had to get the faster Express. Thanks.

We assume that you plan to use the AirPort Express to extend the signal from the Time Capsule.
After you have the new Time Capsule set up as your main router, temporarily locate the AirPort Express near the Time Capsule
Power up the AirPort Experss for a few minutes and then hold in the reset button on the device for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a second or two for the heading of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click directly on the AirPort Express.
AirPort Setup will open up automatically and guide you through. Once the AirPort Express is set up, move it to a location that is approximately half way between the Time Capsule and area that needs more wireless coverage.
Power up the Express and check things out. You may need to experiment by moving the Express a bit closer to the Time Capsule or further away depending on the quality of the signal that the Express receives.
Remember that the wireless speed from the Time Capsule will be dropping off by the time that it reaches the Express, and the Express can only extend the speed of connection that it receives. So, devices that connect to the Express are going to be running at a lower speed than devices that connect to the Time Capsule.
You can avoid the speed drop at the AirPort Express if you can connect it to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet cable connection, since there is no speed loss in a wire.

Time Capsule and Netgear Powerline

I have a 2TB Time capsule and need to extend my network (wired) through HomePlugs. I have had the Netgear Powerline recommended but have noted in the blurb that they are 'not Mac compatible'.
Will they work with my TC and is it simply just a case of plugging them in and they work or is there anything else I need to do settings wise on the TC?
If these will not work can anyone recommend otheres that do and also walk me through the settings I will need to change 9in very simple steps as I am a bit thick ).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Everything works. Follow directions for extending your wireless network at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
Notes:
I first connected the Time Capsule directly to the AirPort Exteme to avoid any powerline networking issues. This allowed both the time capsule and airport extreme to show up in the AirPort Utility program.
Ensure that in the AirPort Extreme's wireless settings, "Allow this network to be extended" is enabled/checked before you modify the Time Capsule's settings; the "allow... extended" checkbox might not be visible if you are not directly connected as a client to the AirPort Extreme (it is not visible after setup when you are a client of the time capsule extender).
The Time Capsule network setup is easiest if you follow the dialogs instead of doing it manually.
I now have cable modem->ABEX->Netgear HomePlug-> Netgear XAV1004 switch-> Time Capsule->extended wireless network->laptop. The powerline adapter signal is running from a new house addition built in 1999 through a sub-panel circuit breaker to a main circuit breaker out through 1940s-era wiring, and everything works perfectly, including Time Machine backups from machines on both sides of the powerline adapters.
@LaPastenague: I haven't detected any ports blocked by my Netgear powerline adapter, nor could I find any port blocking topics via an internet search. I have never installed any of the Netgear management software, so my powerline adapters are not running any encryption... maybe encryption comms cause the issue you raised? I really doubt the Netgear PowerLine adapters block any host-specific ports because the adapters are working at the physical and data-link layers which are below the port assignments in the transport layer of the OSI model.

I have an apple time capsule and am about to have xfinity cable and internet hooked up in my new apartment. The cable provider said I need a modem that is Docsis3 capable - will my time capsule do the job or do i need another modem? Thanks

will my time capsule do the job or do i need another modem?
The Time Capsule is only a router...with a built in hard drive. It does not have a modem built in, so you will need to use a separate modem with your new calbe service.
If the cable provider offers a modem with their service it would be good idea to use that device, as you know that it will be supported by your provider in the event of any Internet connection difficulties.
If the provider does not offer a modem, I am sure that they have a list of compatible modems on their website, or check with customer support for more information.

Time Capsule and External HD as Network Attached Storage

I was wondering if I can
a. Attached and external hard drive to my Time Capsule and access is wirelessly?
b. Back up to that external hard drive using Time Machine?
c. Access that external hard drive and Time Capsule from a remote place off site?
Thanks

a. Yes
b. I think so. But why not just use the TCs hard disk for TM backups?
c. Apparently so based on these instructions I have found: (Haven't tried it myself)
In the Finder preferences check the box "show server" to mount to desktop.
Under Airport Utility:
Disks - check over wan and check file sharing and write down the ip address
Under the Finder, use the GO function to find your server ie the hard drive on the TC. In the window provided type afp://ip address then password if applicable. The hard drive should mount and be shown on the desktop.

Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you? If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

Is "Time capsule" and "Playstation 3" compatible?
