My Housemate can't access wireless internet via Time Capsule...

Happened all of a sudden after working fine. He's the only PC user in the house.
He's asked me to do a reset on the wireless network.
Any suggestions? Walkthrough?
Thanks in advance!
Time Capsule 2TB

Just do a reboot of the TC.. ie pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug in the power cord.
If that doesn't work.. try this.
Same as what I just posted here.

Use SMB names.. important for windows..
Fix the channels.. use different name for 5ghz.
And WPA2 Personal security.

  • Vista laptop can't connect to Internet via Time Capsule

    I just setup my brand new 1TB Time Capsule and everything works perfectly with my iMac. Backups work and I can connect to the Internet fine. I'm using the TC as my network router, so everything will connect through the TC. My one-year old Compaq Vista laptop can connect to the Internet if the wireless security is turned off, but once I turn it on..no Internet for the laptop. It can connect and see the network, but can't get to the Internet. I've reset the TC several times trying various setting combinations and I've went through the laptop and tried to update Windows and any drivers that I thought might help, but nothing.
    I have the following Wireless settings on the TIme Capsule:
    - radio mode set to Auto
    - radio channel selection set to Auto
    - wireless security set to WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Am I missing something? I can't figure if this is a settings issue, laptop issue, or a Time Capsule issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Windows Vista and Windows 7 cannot see Time Capsule drive

    This might be your security settings. Open the Local Security Policy utility:
    %windir%\system32\secpol.msc /s
    Navigate to Local Policies folder, Security Options view. Find “Network security: LAN Manager authentication level”. If it is set to “Send NTLMv2 response only” change it to “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”.
    ONE PROBLEM THOUGH. I believe ONLY PROFESSIONAL versions of windows have the local policies acceptable.

  • Windows PC running Vista can't connect to internet via Time Capsule

    My Macbook works beautifully with my TC, however I cannot get my Windows PC (running Vista) to connect to the internet via the TC. My PC shows it's connected to the TC, however when I launch the web browser it shows the cannot connect page. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so I welcome your feedback.

    I have the same problem. Did you work it out? If yes, what did you do?

    Since downloading the IOS7 I can't access the internet via a wifi.  I would like to remove it, is it possible?  I have the ipad2

    Sorry, no. Apple does not support downgrading.
    Have you tried to go into your settings, reset, reset network settings? It'll erase your current network from your iPad and let you start over.

  • Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

    Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

    Do the usual wireless things.
    Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
    Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
    For testing take off the security altogether.
    The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.

  • 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.

  • DirecTV DVR HR20 connect to internet via Time Capsule

    Hi Everyone,
    I've searched and come across various topics about connecting the DirecTV DVR to the internet via Time Capsule, but none of them seem to provide a solution for wireless connectivity. 
    Can anyone point me to a topic where it describes the steps and any issues related to getting my DirecTV DVR connected to the internet via the Time Capsule wirelessly.
    I have gone through the setup and I get connected to my network, but I get the error when it tries to connect to the internet.
    Do I have to do any port forwarding or anything special?
    I use to have my Netgear supporting this configuration, just purchased the Time Capsule and now I cannot get my DVR connected.
    Thanks for the support
    Jeff...

    The Direct TV DVR has an Ethernet connection on the back, which is strongly recommended if you intend to download movies or any kind of high definition material.
    If you are trying to use the new Whole Home feature, wireless is not supported by Direct TV for this service.
    If you are trying to connect to the DVR using wireless from the Time Capsule, you must be using some sort of wireless to Ethernet bridge device.
    What device are you trying to use?
    Have you verified that this device is compatible with the Time Capsule?
    As a test, connect the adapter/bridge to your laptop and turn the wireless off on the laptop. Open your browser to see if you can get an Internet connection.
    If you can, you know the network connection is good and the focus shifts to the DVR as the source of the problem.
    If you can't, we'll need to figure out if the adapter you are using will work the Time Capsule.

  • Problem connecting Dell Inspiron 6000 to internet via Time Capsule.

    Hi,
    Unable to connect Dell Inspiron 6000 to internet via Time Capsule.
    I get this "Windows is unable to connect to selected network. Network may no longer be in range". Any clue?
    Thanks.

    What modem do you have?
    Is it a router? What mode is the TC being setup in, bridge or router?
    Is it cable modem? If so did you power cycle the modem for the required time.. it might be 30min or just 5min or many hours depending on the ISP.
    Tell us more.
    For mavericks please ensure your network connections have ipv6 set correctly.. ie link-local.

  • I can't connect to internet using Time Capsule router.

    My hard drive recently died. I took the iMac to the Apple store and had a 500 GB hard drive installed. I disconnected my Time Capsule so the Apple rep could restore my data. Now when I try to reconnect to the internet via Time Capsule router, it won't connect. The cable modem is fine, and the Time Capsule's status seems OK with the green light. It even seems to be backing up OK. I don't think I did anything differently, other than unplug it in order to have the Apple rep restore my data. Any thoughts out there?

    It sounds like the cable company neglected to mention to you that you must completely reset the modem whenever you change the device that it is connected to. That's because the modem "associates" with a device and "remembers" the settings.
    If you then change devices, the modem will "look" for the old device that was connected to it and it will of course not "find" it, so it won't connect.
    That's why you need to do the complete sequence that I provided.
    If you still cannot connect after the complete reset, then you may have a defective modem. I'm not trying to pick on the cable company....and yours may be an exception...but the last time my modem was having problems, the provider kept insisting that "everything looks good". But, they always say that.
    I turned the modem off and called them back an hour later and they still said "everything looks good".
    An Ethernet cable has a slightly wider plug than a phone cable. If that's the only connector on the modem, then it must be the right one. Ethernet cables do fail. You might want to check your cable, just in case.

  • Mac connects but PC won't connect to internet via TIme Capsule wireless net

    I have my personal Mac and work PC at home. I'm switching from a wireless network using my airport extreme base station to a new time capsule. Had no problems earlier, but now with my new wireless network I have the following problem:
    - Both Mac and PC are able to connect to my home wireless network created through Time Capsule
    - Only Mac can access the internet via the Time Capsule wireless network
    - PC connects fine to the wireless network, but the settings indicate the internet cannot be accessed
    I've tried fiddling with configurations etc. but cannot seem to get the PC to connect through to the internet using my Time Capsule.
    The PC will connect directly to the net if I plug in the ethernet from my cable modem....What's the problem? Any ideas?

    Welcome to the discussions forum AZR-DC.
    The PC will connect directly to the net if I plug in the ethernet from my cable modem...
    Make it a habit to power down your modem whenever you connect something different to it. Merely detaching the AEBS and attaching your Time Capsule or your computer directly will confuse most modems, so leave it powered down for a few moments. Power down your other equipment while you're at it.
    Then, power up all the equipment as follows:
    Modem... wait a few moments for it to complete its startup sequence.
    Time Capsule. Wait a few moments again.
    Computers.
    Be sure your PC and your Mac are getting their addresses "via DHCP".

  • Wireless internet to Time Capsule?

    I receive my internet signal via a wireless router. I also have a home network consisting of a Time Capsule, Mac, Apple TV, and an AirPort Express. I would like to have the TC access the internet signal from the provider's wirless router and access the internet via the TC, because a) I don't have the ability to physically connect the provider's router directly to the TC, and b) my TC needs to have access to the internet for the Apple TV. Also, if I am on my Mac and access the internet via the provider's wireless router I lose the TC's backup capability or the ability to play music from my Mac to other devices connected to the TC (like the stereo receiver and Apple TV).
    1. Is there a way to program the TC to recognize the WiFi signal from the wireless router as its source for internet access?
    2. I've heard of a 'bridge' but I'm not sure if that's an option here?
    3. Would an Ethernet-to-WiFi converter (attached to the TC Ethernet port) work in the same directly connecting the router to the TC worked previously?

    1. Is there a way to program the TC to recognize the WiFi signal from the wireless router as its source for internet access?
    Yes, if you have another Apple wireless router providing the wireless signal. No, if you don't.
    2. I've heard of a 'bridge' but I'm not sure if that's an option here?
    Bridging would occur automatically if you have another Apple wireless router providing the wireless signal. It won't otherwise.
    3. Would an Ethernet-to-WiFi converter (attached to the TC Ethernet port) work in the same directly connecting the router to the TC worked previously?
    In theory, yes.  In practice, things are a lot more difficult than the theory. Expect occasional disconnections due to the wireless "hop" that must occur between devices.  For best results, you would need line-of-sight between your wireless router and the Time Capsule.
    The "best" way to connect your current router is to use a wired Ethernet cable connection, which you can run up to 330 feet or 100 meters with no loss.
    If you cannot run the cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the Ethernet signal over the existing AC powerlines in your home.
    In theory, you already have the wiring in place, you just need the adapters. In practice, things are not quite as simple, so you would want to make sure that you understand the store's return policy in the event that things don't work out. The reason for this is that with powerline products, you won't know how well they will work...or if they will work....until you try them out in your home.
    Your local computer / electroncis superstore will have a selection of powerline products to choose from, along with some advice about what might work well locally.

  • No internet via Time Capsule

    This is driving me crazy, and the 2nd level tech expert at the Apple help line wasn't able to figure it out either. I've got DSL internet at home from AT&T. Internet works fine when I plug in my MB straight to the DSL modem. Also, my Time Capsule is wirelessly doing hourly backups. I can wirelessly browse the Time Capsule.
    However... when I plug ethernet from the DSL modem to Time Capsule, and try to surf wirelessly, I can't access any web pages. They just time out. Even while this is going on, Time Capsule does its scheduled backups. Weird! Note: The Time Capsule was bought in Thailand. In the wireless options of Airport Utility, it is set to China. My only country choices are Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, China, Korea, Nepal, Pakistan and Taiwan. We did a firmware update hoping it would add all countries, but it didn't. Still, I'm connecting wirelessly for backups, so does the country really matter? At this point, the 2nd level expert gave up and said there was nothing he could do.

    Assuming your Internet access is connected via broadband with PPPOE. You need to connect TC for connecting to Internet via PPPOE, just enter your broadband user name and password and let TC connection to Internet ALWAYS ON.
    Once the Internet is connected, the TC light should be GREEN. And you can see that in the summary screen of the TC in Airport Utility as well.

  • VNC remote my computer from Internet via time capsule

    I have several computers connected with Airport via time capsule to Internet.
    When I am out of office, how can I remote one of the computers from the Ipad? I use Mocha VNC
    I´ve been trying but impossible to find the complete IP or DNS name, my IPAD do not find any of the computers if connected via Time Capsule
    I have no prob when connecting one computer to modem directly , It works fine If I write the IP on my IPAD.
    Back to my mac and VNC password settings seems correct.

    Try locking the wireless channels for 2.4ghz.. instead of auto use 1, 6 or 11. Test each in turn.
    I would also suggest using a SMB name.. ie short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
    Did you happen to upgrade to latest iOS?? People are experiencing some bugs.. which is no real suprise.
    Has the phone worked before and stopped working after some change you made.. or have you never been able to connect using this phone.

  • Windows XP won't connect to Internet via Time Capsule AE

    I've got a MacBook Pro and MacBook using Airport Extreme via Time Capsule. I recently partitioned MacBook Pro and added Windows XP via Boot Camp. The XP sees the Airport but cannot connect. I've added the same key to XP as used for Mac access, but it still doesn't connect.
    Its a WPA2 Personal Key. XP allows WEP, WPA, and WPA-??? (there are three other letters there that are NOT "2" or "Personal"). It allows one of two "types" that are TKIP or AS? (Three letters that I can't remember.) I'm completely lost.
    I also tried changing channels, but that's frustrating unless I just change from the PC end. I had been changing them on the Mac, then rebooting to XP to see what happens. (Nothing, so far.)
    Has anyone successfully gotten XP on the Wireless?

    XP wireless to a Time Capsule works fine. Problem is, as you've found, choosing the right wireless security, then entering the key in the right format.
    Because of this problem in mixed OS X / XP networks, I've stuck with WEP. It's less secure, but it works!
    I live in a rural area, so wireless security isn't really an issue.
    Try reconfiguring your TC to use WEP. Once you've got it working, investigate the other security options.

  • Can't access the Internet via Mobile Data & Wifi after IOS 6 update.
