Modify/delete a wifi network created in Time Capsule.

Hello, I created some wifi networks with Time Capsule. Now I want to eliminate some of them in order to keep only 2 or 3 "on air"; how can I do it? My Airport Utility is updated; v. 6.3.2

You cannot create multiple wifi networks.. you can create 2.. one for 2.4ghz and one for 5ghz. (Guest network I guess is also possible).. once you change the name of the network the previous ones no longer exist.
If you have a long list of wireless names in your computer.. delete them from your computer. They are simply history and no longer current.
Tesserax has info for deleting all the old names that are stored on your computer to fix connection after wake from sleep issues.

  • Extending a wifi network with a time capsule

    My broadband router (BT) can only go in my office and is the same room that my iMac is located.
    Is there any way that I can connect my Time Capsule to either my BT wireless router or my iMac via WiFi and us the Time Capsule as another wifi base station.
    Idelaly I want the Time Capsule in the hallway so that I can connect via WiFo from my living room.
    Currently the living room is too far from my office to connect to my BT router via WiFi.

    Unfortunately, no...unless you want to connect the Time Capsule to the BT router using a wired Ethernet connection or by using Ethernet over Powerline (EOP) adapters.
    You need two Apple routers to be able to "extend" using wireless only......since this feature only works among Apple wireless routers.
    If you connected an Apple router to the BT router using a wired Ethernet connection and configured the Apple router to "create a wireless network", then you could use the Time Capsule to "extend" that same network using wireless only.

  • How do i connect to a wifi network after my time capsule has completed its auto setup.

    Let me start by saying I contract overseas currently in Afghanistan. Ok so I have over 10 networks in my area and can not connect to a router with ethernet cable. When it does the auto setup it finds the network sometimes but doesn't stay up long enough for me to enter my password. I just dont know how or where to manually set up my network. I also dont know what information i need. I dont have access to any of the routers so this might not even be possible.
    Thanks Dan

    Unfortunately, the Time Capsule, and AirPort Extreme do require an Ethernet connection when they are connected to a 3rd party wireless network.
    It is a bit goofy....and I don't know if it will work in your particular situation.....but here is what I do when am traveling and I want to set up a private wireless network in my room......and the hotel only provides a wireless connection. I travel with an AirPort Express and another AirPort router....two devices.
    One AirPort Express is configured to "Join a wireless network", so it receives the wireless signal from the hotel. That same Express then feeds an Ethernet signal from its LAN port to the WAN port on another AirPort router, which is set up to "create a wireless network".
    So, I can set up my own private network in the room and connect from multiple devices....wireless or wired...and only pay for one connection.

  • How to forget or delete unknown wifi network?

    Hi everybody,
    I use my iPad in wifi connexion with a Eye-fi card in my camera.
    When I take a picture, it goes through the iPad with the Eye-fi wifi network created.
    BUT, when in the neighborhood a wifi network exist, my iPad disconnect from the Eye-fi card.
    Do you know how can I delete or forget the unknown wifi network to keep only my Eye-fi card wifi on the wifi network list?
    Thanks a lot.

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

  • Why do I have to search for a wifi network most every time I use the internet?

    Why do I have to search for a wifi network almost every time I use the internet?
    We have Cox internet on a wireless router.
    It doesn't seem to be able to hold the wireless connection.....even a couple hours.
    The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
    Thanks for any suggestions you have.

    I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.
    The computer just can't remember it.

    Thank you but I tried that and it still shows up as a network. I live out in the country and shouldn't have any other networks close. I am afraid of a security breach.
    As far as networks showing up when you right click the WiFi icon in the Menu Bar, you will always see those that are close by. I know of no way to hide or remove those.
    What leroydouglas provided is correct to remove any WiFi networks you have previously connected to.

  • Wifi network created with a Comcast Modem/wifi hub

    Can airport express be used to extend a wifi network created with a Comcast Modem/wifi hub?

    Apple tells us that the AirPort Express will only "extend" a wireless network...using wireless only...if it is used with another Apple router.
    So, it would be extremely unlikely that this would work with your Comcast modem/router.

  • Cannot print or scan with USB printer over wifi from airport express / time capsule wifi

    Hi everybody,
    I have recently set up time capsule connected to the router from the telephone company but created a new wifi network for the time machine to better work. Now I have bought an airport express to be able to use my USB printer over the WIFI network. I have to laptops, the printing works fine over the mac book air but not over the macbook pro. On top of that I cannot scan with either of the devices.
    I have scanned most of the information out there but this issue seems not to be addressed properly anywhere. Advices given do always repeat itself but no solution worked for me.
    Now I have plugged the usb from the printer directly back into mac book pro and the problem seems to persist here too. The message I receive everywhere is this one:
    The software for the printer was installed incorrectly.
    Would you like it to be repaired?
    When I hit the Repair button a notice says 'repairing permissions' but nothing really happens. In the end nothing has been printed.
    Resetting the printing systems has not really changed anything either. The problems persist.
    This is the screen I get when the printer is directly plugged in through USB:
    Result: printer recognised and installed, I cannot print (The software for the printer was installed incorrectly), but I can scan (probably because of the hint ('multifunction')
    When I try to install the printer through the network connection (wifi network over time capsule and airport express) I get this image:
    Result: printer recognised over bonjour but without multifunction (in other words without scanning), I cannot scan nor print (The software for the printer was installed incorrectly)
    As I already mentioned any solution I found online would not work. Now the qustions are:
    1) why can't I print? The drivers seem to be there but somehow broken, and I don't know how to repair it
    2) why can't I scan over wifi? It sould possible that any function that can be performed over cable should also be able to performable over air, right?
    I would very much appreciate any kind of help.
    Thank you in advance,
    Cris

    What's up doc?
    HP has not provided "network" drivers to allow advanced features when the the All-in-One is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
    Therefore, only the printing function is supported when the All-in-One is connected to the Time Capsule's USB port.
    If you need advanced features like fax, copy, scan, maintenance etc., you will need to connect over the WiFI network, or connect the All-in-One directly to your computer.

  • Using 3G internet in network with Airport Time Capsule

    I am struggling to get all devices in my home network to connect to the internet through 3G cell network.
    I have an iMac connected to APTC with ethernet and a Macbook Air and Apple TV connecting to APTC with wireless. I have a USB dongle plugged into the iMac with 3g internet connection. In preferences->sharing I enabled internet sharing from the 3g over ethernet. The problem is that the APTC and the Apple TV don't seem to connect to the internet when I enter my AppleID for BackToMyMac or home sharing. The iMac and Macbook Air are both able to access the internet normally.
    I have left the default DHCP and NAT setting on and DHCP for all other devices. I checked what IP address the different connections have and the IMac ethernet was 10.0.1.2, the APTC ethernet was 10.0.1.1, APTC wireless showed 168.254.x.x, Apple TV had 10.0.1.5 and the Macbook was 192.168.1.2. Why are the autoconfig IP address not all in the same range and why can 2 devices connect and 2 not, especially since the 2 that can connect are in different IP ranges?

    The issue here is that Internet Sharing has your iMac on one network subnet, and the iMac is sending out a signal for other devices that is on another network subnet. Devices can connect to the Internet, but they cannot "see" each other from one subnet to the next.
    In other words, if you enable Internet Sharing, you cannot "extend" the network that the Mac is using for its own Internet connection to other devices.....which is what you need to do to have all devices on the same subnet.
    I think you need to drop the idea about Internet Sharing on the Mac since it cannot do what you want to do.
    If you do not need BTMM, then a router like Jan suggests would likely work if it will provide enough IP addresses for all of your devices.  You would come out of the Ethernet port on the router and connect that to the WAN port on the Time Capsule and set it up to operate in Bridge Mode.
    Another option that might work would be to configure the Time Capsule as a router behind another router. This will create a Double NAT error on the network, but it might work if you connect all of your devices to the network that the Time Capsule creates.

  • Losing wifi connection on my time capsule

    on a regular basis I lose my wifi connection on my time capsule but the Ethernet still work fine
    can someone help me please

    How old is the TC? A1xxx from the base please
    Running what firmware?
    Setup in what mode? Please tell me the whole network layout.
    Do all your devices lose connection or just some or one... eg iphone is problem.. it is itself the problem.
    What OS is the computer running? That is also a problem if Yosemite.

  • How can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express

    how can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express ?
    The time capsule is near the Mac. ok
    The first Airport is on the corridor, ok, works well and the App on the iPad signals so, ok
    But when I plug the next Airport on another room nearby nothing happens, and signals disconected ....
    is the signal so weak that is not able to go to ono room to the other ?

    Well, even if you have the first express set up to extend the network, the second express can only extend from the TimeCapsule.
    Maybe you got walls of sheetrook in the way, or kitchen/bathroom tiles, etc, dampening the signal rapidly.

  • How can I extend my wireless network with the Time Capsule?

    I recently bought a Time Capsule and set it up, backed up all my data, etc. It is currently plugged in to my AT&T Uverse wireless router via a LAN CAT5e cable. I am wondering if it is possible to wirelessly extend my preexisting network with the Time Capsule so I can move it somewhere else in my house where it can still pick up the signal but extend it. And if possible, how so? Or does it ALWAYS have to be wired'connected to my router for the internet to work?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am wondering if it is possible to wirelessly extend my preexisting network with the Time Capsule so I can move it somewhere else in my house where it can still pick up the signal but extend it.
    Sorry but no.  Extending using only wireless would require that the Time Capsule connect to another Apple router that is producing the wireless network.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have two Apple routers to be able to extend the signal wirelessly.

  • How do I set up a guest network on my Time Capsule?

    how do I set up a guest network on my Time Capsule?

    If that is the case, then......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Locate the Guest Network tab located just below the row of icons and click on it
    (If you do not see a Guest Network tab....you likely do not have the Time Capsule connected to a simple modem)
    Enter a check mark next to "Enable Guest Network"
    Type in a name for the Guest Network
    Enter the password and confirm
    Click Update to save your settings and Time Capsule will restart in 25-30 seconds
