Linksys WVC54GC + Time Capsule

Hello. Does anyone know how to get this wireless camera from Linksys to work with the Time Capsule. I plugged into directly into the time capsule and went to the camera's default IP address of 192.168.1.115 but I cannot seem to be able to connect to the camera from Safari. Thanks all.

Apple do not allow the TC to repeat signal from any old dirty router.. only pure clean apple routers.. !! Imagine apple routers mixing with the riff raff.. dd-wrt the very thought. !!
You can use the TC with ethernet back to the main router..
You can use TC as the main router and DD-WRT in universal repeater mode..
But you cannot do what you want to do.

Linksys Router & Time Capsule Router

I currently have a Linksys Router (as I have a phone line thru TMobile) and just purchased a Time Capsule Model:A1302. I am confused as to using both routers. Can I have 2 routers, and how do I set this up?
How do I turn off the Time Capsule Router if not?
I currently have 3 computers: 1 MacBook Pro, 2 HP desktops. House is a Ranch style with full basement (5600sf). Mechanical room is in lower level and that is where all wiring is located. Main house is upstairs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

In your case the quick erase is fine.. it takes like one min .. no data is erased just the file tables.. but that is fine.. to zero out the drive takes many hours as it is a low level format and is used when you are going to dispose of the drive.
What OS are you running??
Lion / ML do have issues with TC. It works but the OS loses its ability to find it.
The airport utility is a toyland device.. a plastic hammer.. great for plastic nails.. totally useless for the real thing.
If you are on Lion install 5.6 utility.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Also install the update to the update if you plan to use TM. Or spotlight.. actually just install it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1599
If you run Mountain Lion the installer for 5.6 AU will not work.. but there is a simple work around to keep using 5.6 utility.
Also download and install.. this very neat unpkg tool.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Open the dmg of AU you downloaded.. drag the pkg file over the unpkg.. and it will unpackage the AU onto the desktop.. AirPortUtility56.. you can then find the utility under applications utiity and drag it to your main utility folder.

Time Capsule slow internet with Linksys router

I has issues with slow internet page loads. I have a Linksys WAG325N router connect to Telstra ADSL 2 with a Time Capsule. I use two wireless network one broadcasted from Linksys and the other wireless network from the Time Capsule. When i'm connected to the time capsule i had slow internet page loads and the Time Machine backups fail.
When connected to the wireless network from the Time Capsule i get 10% to 30% packet loss when i pinged the Linksys router and 0% packet loss when i pinged the Time Capsule.
I then connected to the Linksys router then i has packet loss with i pinged the Time Capsule and 0% loss when i pinged the Linksys.
I used the Airport Utility and changed the "Ethernet WAN Port" from automatic to "10 Mbps/Full Duplex".
This seem to fix the problem. I think there is some issue with the port speed negotiation between the Linksys and Time Capsule.
Time Capsule 7.4.2
LinkSys V1.00.13(01)

The same thing is happening to me, exactly. Although my top speed is lower than yours (I'm on FiOS). Unplug it for a second, and you're back to normal. Otherwise, it will slowly and inexorably degrade until you have something worse than dial-up.
This is completely unacceptable, and it's far too typical of the current state of Apple's quality control and support that there is no official acknowledgment of this screamingly obvious and annoying problem, which happens every single time I use my Time Capsule, which is to say every day, and no recommended fix.
Sometimes I feel as if I could really hate this company!

Time capsule is very slow on wired Ethernet - tested from multiple sources

I purchased a 2 TB Time Capsule today. I want to use it for automatic backups of my Macbook, and I also want to use it to store files from my Windows PC's.
My TC is connected to my network using wred Ethernet only (Wireless is disabled in the TC)
My problem is that transferring files to the TC is incredibly slow. I have been doing some research and found lots of articles that talk about wireless interference and various problems with interoperability between WiFi flavors. None of these would seen to apply as I am using only wired Ethernet to transfer my files.
I also found a couple of discussions that describe how to make a change to the Mac's TCP/IP configuration to avoid a strange network condition slowing things down. This solution doesn't seem applicable as I am seeing the performance problem regardless of where I copy files FROM (I have a mixed environment with Windows and Linux and Mac systems)
Also, I am aware that the inital backup with Time Machine will be slow but I don't think that's relevant to my situation.
My TC is configured for file sharing so I can read and write files from my various Windows systems on the network. When I copy a set of large files to the TC, I see a typical transfer rate of 5 - 6 MB / Second. To me, this is completely abnormal and here is why: When I copy the same files, from the same Windows system, to a server on my network I get about 60 MB / second or about 10 times the transfer rates.
The TC is running firmware 7.4.2.
What gives?

I also had the same issue. My Time Capsule was connect to the Linksys router WAG325N. I had a wireless network broadcasted from the Linksys and a different one from the Time Capsule. When connected to the TIme Capsule wireless network i pinked the Linksys router and got 10% to 30% pack loss. When i pinked the Time Capsule i got 0% loss. I used the AirPort Utility and changed the "Internet" "Ethernet WAN Port" from automatic to "10 Mbps/Full Duplex" and this seem to fix the slow internet.
I guess the Linksys and Time Capsule as issues with port speed negotiation.

Need time capsule help..

when I enter time machine, I click on pictures and nothing is there. Isnt this thing suppose to upload on the time capsule when you add new items? I have 13,000 pics that do not show up.

Based on lthe information in your post, the best connection method would be to connect to your Linksys router using an ethernet cable. Connect from one of the available LAN <-> ports on the Linksys to the WAN (circle of dots icon) port on the Time Capsule
You will be able to backup over the existing Linksys wireless network and also connect directly to the ethernet ports on either the Linksys or Time Capsule if you want to perform a backup using ethernet, which will be much faster than wireless.
What I am not clear on is whether you want to configure the Time Capsule to provide a wireless network, which it is capable of doing, or whether you do not need this function.
Post back with a few more details and let us know if you need a step by step guide to get things going.
Also: had my Macbook repaired, and they backed up all info on the Time Capsule I purchased. But they didn't need to replace hard drive/memory, so when I go to backup the laptop, will this file show up, and can i just delete it?
If you don't need the data on the Time Capsule drive, you would want to erase the disk before you perform your first backup of the Mac(s). There's a procedure for that as well. Let us know if you need it.

Time Capsule (NEED HELP!)

Have had it up for about a week and today it suddenly is not working for past 2 hours.
Time Capsule is connected to a router that is being fed DSL. The DSL is working. The router is working.
Nothing was changed and suddenly it can't be found, etc. when trying to connect wirelessly.
I tried Airport Utility and it says it can't find it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Setup is as follows:
DSL > Linksys RV082> Time Capsule
It goes from being found to not found. The speed of the wireless when we have been able to connect in the past 2 hours from 184kbps down to 2mbps down (we were getting 5.1mbps down).
Checked the dsl connection and that is right where it has always been 5.1mbps down.
Time capsule just stopped working.

Time Capsule won't connect to a Linksys wireless network

I made the same mistake as everyone else with 7.3.1. The main problem I had was that after the update the TC wouldn't connect to my wireless network anymore. I put in the network name and password, which worked with version 7.3, and it wouldn't connect as an 'extend network' option.
I've rolled back to version 7.3 and now I'm having the same problem. I can't make it join my existing wireless network...? Any ideas? This thing's been nothing but problems since I bought it. Now I'm reading that TC's can't be used to join existing networks if it's not an Apple base station. I use a Linksys WRT54GS and I know that's not true because it worked before.
Help?! I'm on the edge with this one!

At first I had the same problem with being unable to connect a time capsule using airport utility 5.3.1 to a linksys wrt54g. I was finally able to when I followed the software's recommendation to use the encryption type: *WPA2 PERSONAL*.
So I connected an ethernet cable from my MacBook to the Linksys and changed the type of encryption from wep to wpa 2 personal and then I reset the Time Capsule and reinstalled/reconfigured it with the general setting "WPA / WPA2 Personal" in the encryption area.
Now it is working as a part of the linksys network, but I have not yet been successful at using it to "extend" the network like it should, and like I was told it could by a sales rep at the Apple Store. I'll be calling customer support tomorrow to solve this issue.
I hadn't configured the linksys in a while, so in case you don't know off the top of your head as I did not, to do so:
1. connect the cable to the linksys and use your browser to go http://192.168.1.1
(unless you changed this).
2. just type "admin" in the password field (unless you changed this)
3. go to the "wireless" tab, and then finally the "wireless" sub-tab.
4. after choosing the WPA2 Personal encryption type, I left the other settings alone: "AES" as the type of " WPA Algorithms", and "3600 seconds" for the "Group Key Renewal"
(if you changed the login settings on the linksys there's a reset button on the back)
Hope this helps...

How do I make airport time capsule work with Linksys cisco router?

Hi all.
I bought an airport time capsule 3T and want to connect it to the internet, using a macbook with OS X 10.9.2. Currently I am using a Linksys Cisco router model WAG54G2.
I followed the steps of the setup airport guide: Connected the WAN port of the airport with an ethernet port on the router, plugged in the power cable, filled in the internet username and password. In Airport Utility I can see the airport and the internet icon, both with green dots most of the time. But it seems to disconnect every minute or so, green dots turning orange and the status light on the airport flashing orange. The internet light on the linksys also goes on and off. When the internet is on, it is quite slow.
Advice is welcome!
Kees

No guarantees here. AirPort Utility 6.3.1 is a big drop down from the 5.x versions in Leopard and Snow Leopard.
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 9-10 seconds and release
Allow a full minute for the TC to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on Time Capsule.
The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule.
As soon as you click on the Time Capsule, AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network....and probably suggest that the Time Capule will be configured to "extend"....which is wrong.
Click the Other Options button at the lower left
Click Add to an existing network
Next to Connect To.....select the wireless network name from the drop down list....if it appears. Otherwise type in the exact name of the wireless network.
Click Next
Confirm any settings again and wait to see if AirPort Utility 6.3.1 will allow the Time Capsule to join the wireless network.
You have about a 1 in 5 chance that this will occur.
Post back on your results.

Dual Band Network: Time Capsule (N only) and Linksys (B/G) Works *Long*

Ok, so this was more tedious than I thought it would be, but things actually seem to be working at this point.
Goal: Create a Dual Band network with Time Capsule (N only) and a Linksys WRTSL54GS (B/G)
Time Capsule: 1000BaseT wired, and 802.11N 5Ghz only wireless
Linksys: 100BaseT wired, and 802.11G 2.4Ghz wireless
Airport Utility 5.3.1
Time Capsule v. 7.3
I set Time Capsule up first, following the step by step directions for "Create a wireless network"
802.11N only, 5Ghz
WPA2 Personal
DHCP 192.168.1.1 (kinda important)
This worked fine-tested on a C2D iMac, both thru ethernet and wirelessly thru N. Time Machine backed up fine.
Now the tricky part, configuring the Linksys.( I just want to mention I had to reset this thing completely about 10 times to get it to work, using a miniscrewdriver)
Starting with a freshly reset Linksys, I connected from my MacBook ethernet port to one of the Linksys ethernet ports (Not the WAN)
I disabled Airport
I logged in to 192.168.1.1 using blank for login, admin for password (default for Linksys)
I did the following:
1) Confirmed Internet Connection Type was "Automatic Configuration-DHCP"
2) Changed Network Setup to "DHCP Server-DISABLED"
3) Turned off the Firewall settings in Security (not sure if this is necessary)
4) Changed the Operating Mode from "GATEWAY" to "ROUTER"
5)Changed the SSID to "LinksysG_ONLY" or something like that
After each one of these steps, I had to save the configuration, thru the Linksys browser interface-which blows.
6) Finally, I changed the Local IP Address of the Linksys from 192.168.1.1 to 10.0.1.251 (thanks to Henry B. for that)
7) And....I no longer had access to the Linksys at all! This stumped me for a while, until...
8) I checked my Ethernet settings (in System Preferences/Network): 192.168.1.1 was set as default router address. But my Router (at least for configuration purposes) was now 10.0.1.251, so it could no longer find it.
9) So I added a new Ethernet port (using the "+" sign), called it Ethernet-Linksys. Set it to Manual. Put in an IP of 10.0.1.250, and a Router IP of 10.0.1.251.
10) I got access to the Linksys setup page again! (Note: I'm sure there is an easier way to do this, but this is how I got mine to work )
11) I set up WPA security again, set it to an unused channel (2 in my case), mixed b/g network.
12) Finally, I moved the ethernet cable from my MacBook directly to one of the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule. I did NOT hook up the other end to the WAN on the Linksys (which for some reason I had done 100 times before) I left it in one of the 4 ethernet ports on the Linksys. Repeat, the WAN (ethernet) port remains empty.
13) I then turned Airport back on the MacBook, connected to "LinksysG_ONLY", and...I was online. And everything seems to work.

Hi kjk et al,
I've been searching the boards for something like what you have described in such nice detail. Before Time Capsule, I used a Netgear g router connected to the cable modem and an older Apple base station connected to the Netgear as a bridge. I removed the Netgear and set up my Time Capsule as the primary. The newer computers in my network can access the Time Capsule, but the old Dell with a 802.11g wireless card cannot. I don't remember seeing where I could access TC to change a setting of "N only" or b/g, but I am guessing that it is running N.
I tried to follow the steps you used for Linksys. The pre-step 1 thing, resetting it "10 times to get it to work" - how do you know when it is really reset? With Netgear plugged into electricity, I stuck a paper clip into the hole labeled on the diagram as "restore factory settings" and watched the color of the IO icon change from green to amber to green. I did it again for good measure.
I plugged ethernet from PowerBook G4 into Netgear not-WAN ethernet ports (like your MacBook to Linksys). I disabled Airport. Using Safari, I logged into 192.168.0.1 and got to the Netgear SmartWizard configuration assistant. It says, "No Internet Connection Detected. Please check the connections to the Internet WAN port and cable/DSL modem" - so I looked at your instructions but see no mention of connecting the router to the modem.
Trying to follow your numbered steps...
1. In SysPrefs: Network, Location showed Automatic, Configure showed Using DHCP.
2. I don't see an option in Network to "DHCP Server-DISABLED", but I can choose Configure: OFF. I clicked Apply but browser still gives same message.
I don't know how to continue the steps.

Using time capsule through Belkin and Linksys routers

I am working on a large house that has 4 wireless routers spread out. They are all attached via ethernet to a hub. There is a Linksys (which gets the internet and distributes the IPs) There are two apple extremes (one of which connects to a printer) and a Belkin (with 2.4 and 5.0ghz). They all have the same network name. The wireless printing appears to be working fine across the network, but the time capsule only seems to work when im in range of it. Can i get it to work through the network?

--Can I use Time Capsule through my landlords existing WiFi network witihout ever plugging it directly into the modem or router?
Yes, if your landlord has an Apple router providing the wireless signal. No, if not.
--Could I then use Time Capsule to extend the wireless network from upstairs and get a stronger wifi signal in my suite?
Yes, if your landlord has an Apple router providing the wireless signal. No, if not.

Airport Time capsul or Linksys wrt1900 + external HDD?

I Need to get a new wifi and also back up device. I currently have the old flat airport time capsule. I live in a 3 story house made from steel frame. So my wifi is not strong at all. I also use a small express to extend the wifi. But still bad.
I Have been reading about the below wifi router and they say it is quite powerful and even good for multiple story homes.
Linksys WRT1900AC Dual Band Smart Wi-Fi Wireless AC Router (2.4 + 5GHz)
IF I got this and an external HDD the cost is about the same. Anyone have any experience with linksys? I would prefer the apple one but I just want to improve my wifi throughout the house.

I would spend a bit of time in the charts and actual reviews here.
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/charts/router/bar/111-2_4-ghz-dn-c?see=P_D
There is a lot of info which you can get the charts to show you.. various location.. different bands etc.
However the tests are done on PC clients and PC wireless cards.. and you are not going to get the same results in Apple products..
As with most of these things.. wireless promises much but delivery is always less than expectation.
I would doubt any single wireless router can cover adequately a 3 storey house.
I can also tell you support for Time Machine will be sorely lacking even if it is listed.. these routers cannot format the disk HFS+, so they will be different and no where near reliable for TM.
It is much better to plan on running an ethernet connection between the 3 floors in some central location if that is at all possible.. and to run 3x wireless AP around the house.. if that is not possible then proper wireless mesh gear will perform much better than domestic stuff.. so look at ubiquiti unifi etc.
Linksys new products since being sold by Cisco and taken over by Belkin have been a disappointment.
Asus has tended to be the preferred units.. and do seem to work well with apple devices.

Using Linksys WRT54G as a wired network extender with Time Capsule

I have been using the WRT54G as my primary home router with an Airport Express attached to it via Ethernet cable at the opposite end of the house to extend my network. I have recently purchased a Time Capsule, which I plan to make my primary router, and I would like to use the Linksys as the extender and free up the AE to take to my office for music streaming. Is this a doable solution, and is the Linksys difficult to set up for this purpose? The AE currently uses the same network name and password as the Linksys and is a seamless extension of my network. I'd like for the new configuration to be just as seamless.

Welcome to the discussions, Hookshot!
I would like to use the Linksys as the extender
That is doable if you connect the Linksys to the Time Capsule using the ethernet cable and configure the Linksys in "bridge mode" to use the exact same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network.
and is the Linksys difficult to set up for this purpose?
You might want to post on the Linksys forum for that question as we would not have that type of specific info on the Time Capsule forum.
and free up the AE to take to my office for music streaming
The Express would be configured to "join" a wireless network for this. The Express will pick up the strongest signal from either the Time Capsule or Linksys, depending on where they are located in relation to each other.
I'd like for the new configuration to be just as seamless.
It will be if you use the exact same wireless network name, security and password on the Time Capsule and Linksys devices.

Time Capsule and Linksys Buffalo NAS

I am struggling with my new TC and looking for some pointers.
What I want to be able to do is have setup my network they way it used to be before my linksys router crapped out... only now with TC I want the added time machine backup capability.
what I used to have was cable modem>linsys router>linkstation buffalo NAS (ethernet) and (wireless) to airport express (with USB printer and Airtunes speakers)
I have managed to get all set up EXCEPT the linkstation buffalo.. for some reason simply plugging it into the ethernet jacks on the TC doesn't allow it to show up as a shared drive... and unfortunately there is no way to do a USB to USB on this device because both have the same connector end and I can't find anywhere that this cable exists.
help?
Does TC support an additional NAS device in it's network capabilities? I have 'extended the network' and any other preferences through airport setup utility, but to no avail...

My Xbox 360 can't connect to Time Capsule wirelessly unless I run in 802.11b mode or unless I purchase something like an AirPort Express or similar wireless access point. I use the Linksys as my main router because it has much more configurable options, especially with the DD-WRT firmware, than the Time Capsule does. The Time Capsule is very user friendly but I think it sacrifices a lot of advanced options.

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.

Using Linksys router with Time Capsule / Airtunes...

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea how I can use my old Linksys WRT54G wireless router with my Time Capsule in such a way that the WRT54G provides a b/g network and I can have my Time Capsule provide just 802.11n for the best possible speed?
I have the two connected via Ethernet (TC connected directly to my cable modem) but don't seem to be able to get things to work.
I know I must be on the edge of getting this to work but am obviously missing the final step...
Cheers in advance for any help you can give,
