My non Apple WIFI card can only see 2.4Ghz Time Capsule WIFI network

I have a 2TB Apple Time Capsule, running v7.5 & offering both a 2.4 & 5.0Ghz WIFI network.
My Linksys WUSB600N card that is plugged into my download & media server (running Window 7) can only see the 2.4Ghz network. I've confirmed that I'm running the latest drivers for the card.
My 13" Apple MacBook Pro and Lenovo X31 with Intel WIFI can see both the 2.4 & 5.0 GHz networks that I've setup on my Time Capsule.

After a little bit more digging, I've managed to find my own answer. For some reason the WUSB600N isn't able to see the high 5.0Ghz channels, no matter how I configured the driver settings (ensuring that all the correct channel ranges were enabled).
Once I hard coded the 5.0Ghz channel on the Time Capsule to channel 48, I'm able to see the network & connect without issue.
Hope this helps someone else.

  • How to connect a wireless drive and stream to my stereo through MacBook. I currently have a non apple WiFi network

    I currently have a PC based WiFi network and am about to buy a MacBook Pro. I have 250 gb iTunes library and 100+ gb of photos. What I was going to get is the 120gb MacBook and run an external drive to store the iTunes library and photos. For intensive photographic work I'd directly connect the drive but day to day I'd connect it to the wireless network. What I want to do is to stream my music, from the wireless drive to my stereo
    Will the drive work this way on my existing router - usb2 connected? Or do I need an apple device.  Should I use an airport or Apple TV to connect to the stereo?
    I also want to have the option of streaming from my iPhone.

    Hard to say when you don't give us a clue what you current router is??
    USB2 is slow.. it is double slow from a network device.. and even slower if that network device doesn't actually have too much CPU power or RAM..
    Even worse is the idea to move the disk from the network to the local external port.. because then format comes into play.. Apple devices can use FAT32.. yuk.. but really want HFS+.. most routers cannot talk HFS+ except apple ones.. they want NTFS or FAT32.. You can see where this is going.. buy two disks.. one for library.. one for a scratch disk .. usb3 will be great.. or thunderbolt even better. And when finished copy your project to the network drive..
    Think carefully about backups.. they are important too.. might be time to invest in a real NAS. Not toy systems with USB.. dangling off them.

  • Original Airport Express to extend range of non-Apple WiFi network

    I own one of the original Aiport Express devices in addition to an Actiontec PK5000 modem/router.  I would like to use the Airport Express to extend the range of the non-Apple router/wifi network.
    I heard it is possible to do this using a direct connection with an ethernet cable.  Is this possible?
    Thanks

    With the AirPort Express (AX) powered up, hold in the reset button for 8-10 seconds and then release. Allow a minute for the AX to restart.
    Connect the AX to the Actiontec gateway with the Ethernet cable, which I assume is working correctly.
    Open AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup to "Create a wireless network". Use the exact same wireless network name, WPA2 Security, and wireless network password as the Actiontec network.
    AirPort Utility should recommend "Bridge Mode" for the AX, which is the correct setting.
    Once the AX is updated with the new settings, be sure to power cycle the entire network. That means powering everything off, waiting a minute, then powering up the Actiontec first for a minute, then the AX, then each device one at time until everything is powered back up.
    If the Actiontec is using standard wireless settings, the network will behave as if it is one large wireless network.

  • New hd can't see backup on time capsule

    I just upgraded my wifes macbook 2007 or 2008 with a new hard drive.  I had her old on backed up on my time machine and when I tried to retore it only see my macbook pro backup and not hers.  I see both backups on the drive, so Its there, but it wont recognize on her machine.
    Any help would be good.
    Her specs are:
    snow leopard but will be lion once I get it up and running
    just upgraded to 500 gig HD and 4 gig Ram
    Thanks

    I presume the upgrade. so called.. was to Yosemite.
    With Yosemite it is network wise more akin to a pair of tin cans and a wet string you used as kids for communication.
    Effectively you need to start over.
    Reset the TC to factory.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    The TC should now appear in the airport utility as unconfigured TC. You can now do the configuration.
    Please do not use Apple recommendations for names.. this is important. Short names no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    eg TCgenx (x can be actual gen for base station name) and TCwifi  (wireless name).
    WPA2 Personal password for wireless must be pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.. say 8-20 characters.
    Once you do this you will need to redirect TM to the new location.
    BUT I strongly advise you not to mess your old backup. Rename the computer under sharing in preferences and start a new clean backup.
    See A4 here.

    Apple have a start.. but this goes no where near far enough.

  • How does one use airport express to extend a non-Apple wifi network?

    Hello. The wifi signal reaching my room shows good on my macbook but weak on my ipod touch. Therefore I want to pick it up on my airport express and extend/boost it.
    I have tried everything in the auto and manual methods of setup to do this, but the only thing I can manage to do is to join a wireless network wirelessly and then then connect to it through a ethernet cable from my airport express. I want to pick it up wirelessly and extend it wirelessly - is this possible? This is the reason why I bought it!
    thanks a lot, JJ

    Thanks for that info. So, I have been trying to use my airport express n to extend an airport n network (for greater distance of coverage) and cannot get this to work either. I can join the other apple airport's network and then connect to the airport express by cable. I have tried all the help available here but that seems to be the only way to extend a network. But I cannot see any point in that! JJ

  • Now Airport Utility says it can't see my devices (Time Capsule and Airport Express,) despite the fact they are working fine.

    Any thoughts?

    AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3:
    This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
    Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
    If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
    Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
    Click the TCP/IP tab.
    Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
    Click OK.
    Click Apply.
    The AirPort device should now appear in AirPort Utility.

  • HT5517 I cannot see my Apple TV.  I have 2 of them and can only see one.  Ideas?

    I cannot see my Apple TV with airplay.  I have 2 of them and can only see one.  Ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • HT204053 How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone?  Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't

    How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone?  Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't appear.

    Does any music show in the Purchased tab on the iTunes store app on your phone ? Music can't be re-downloaded in all countries, and even where it can be it will only appear whilst it remains in the store. Do you have your purchases on your computer and/or on a backup of your puchases so that you can sync them to your phone ?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do you keep your data backed up?
    If not, you should always do so*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    You never know when a hard drive or a directory might go bad.  Having a bootable clone is a must.
    That link also shows you some tools you can use to recover data.
    If you aren't backed up, try buying those tools first, before attempting to repair the directory.
    Directory issues can be fixed with these tools*:

  • HT201407 I did update to iOS 7 now I can't access face time , says can connect to network , I am connected to wifi  can only see my Ipad on find my iPhone can't locate my iPhone 5 though?

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

    First, try to reset by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.

  • I have 2 libraries in iPhoto 09 but I can only see one in apple tv, the last one I viewed in I iPhoto why ?

    I have 2 libraries in iPhoto 09 but I can only see one in apple tv, the last one I viewed in I iPhoto why ?

    iTunes sees what iPhoto sees, iPhoto only sees one library at a time.
    Either merge your libraries or upload content from one of your libraries to a service such as Flickr and use the Flickr feature on the Apple TV.

    thank you Diesel vdub  this helps but I just need to clarify - I understand about copying the intire folder ( cool thanks ) for the second part though, you are saying I can not do this if the 2nd computer does not have internet access? ( which you seem to be saying - bother! )
