My PC isn't accessing the internet via my Time Capsule.

I just got the new AirPort Time Capsule 3TB with 802.11ac WiFi and set it up. My iMac and my iPhones and my PC laptop are all connecting to the network just fine; however, the PC (a Toshiba Sattelite running Windows Vista) is the only device unable to access the internet.
I've been on the phone with Apple Support and MicroSoft Windows support, and neither has an answer. I have tried several things that have been posted on other discussion threads on this issue. None of those has worked for me, and the previous discussions on this issue (that I've found) have all originated from before the current TC model and before the current firmware version (7.1.1).
My iMac is running OSX 10.9 (Mavericks).
I am currently using all one-word alphanumeric names for my networks (I checked the 5Ghz box to make that a separate network, and I also have the Guest network set up).
I am currently using 10-character passwords.
I am currently using WPA2 Personal network security.
I am currently connecting using DHCP (and the PC is DHCP enabled), and the router mode is DHCP and NAT.
I am currently using fixed channels for both networks, and I have tried several different channels.
I ran the following diagnostics on the PC Command Prompt:

My thought is that it's either a case of the TC somehow blocking the PC from internet access, or else the PC not being able to make sense of the access information provided. The latter is the conclusion of Apple technical support, while Windows tech support concluded that I must have a defective router.
Any help will be much appreciated!

You can use the E1000 as wireless AP.
This is the method that will generally work with any wireless router. We term it Wan Bypass.. it is not an official method.. but works fine in vast majority of cases.
Leave your existing setup as is.. modem with TC plugged in.. keep the TC as the main router (at least I presume it is).
Let me work on real numbers as it is easier.. and you can adjust the setup according to your actual setup.
The TC has IP of 10.0.1.1 by default and dhcp passes IP from 2-200.
Plug the Linksys into a computer and setup the IP as 10.0.1.202 ... Please write this down as it will be hidden and if you forget it .. you will need to recover the Linksys by reset and start over.
Turn off the DHCP server in the Linksys. When you do this, and save the setting the computer will no longer be able to connect to the Linksys.. that is fine. Plug the Linksys now into the TC.. LAN port to LAN port. (Hence the name WAN BYPASS).
Back onto a computer connected as normal to the network.. access the Linksys at the address you just set.
Setup its wireless to have a different name to the TC and I would also recommend you fix its channel.. make it say 11. So the two routers don't fight each other.
Names should be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Set up the wireless security as you normally do.
Remember this is wan bypass so plug LAN TC to LAN E1000.
If you run into issues.. post again.

I receive a not connected to the internet message several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via cable modem.. When I input my password to enter network preferences, the connection re-establishes.

I receive a "not connected to the internet message" several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via a cable modem. Software/firmware is up to date on the iMac (OSX 10.6.8) and Tme Capsule(7.5.2). Browser is Safari 5.1.
When I input my password at the prompt to enter network preferences, all the lights go green (ie... ethernet, ISP etc.) and the connection re-establishes immediately and states "the connection appears to be working normally".
It more of a nuisance than anything and seems to have started ocurring over the past couple of months. I also have a windows XP box also connected to the same cable modem that I never have internet connectivity issues with. I've verified all the physical aspects of the connections and can't see any evidence of any actual drops in the modem logs. I suspect it is just an intermittent communication loss between the Imac and the Time Capsule, but I am not very familiar with Mac equipment yet.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and what you did (if anything) to resolve it?
Thanks.

The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

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.

After having to do a recovery with my Ipod I try to access the internet via the Ipod and the above mentioned Error is what I receive.

So I found out with alittle research that instead of entering all that info on my ipod, security questions, birthday, ect that it was much easier to just go to http://appleid.apple.com and place all that info there and save it than try the process on my ipod and it finished the update.

Thanks for your note. My tech dept could not come up with any explanation for the dictation tool not working. We have about 1,000 employees in our office - I think I will send an all employee message to see if anyone else has the issue.

I have a first gen IPad 1..have been very happy until two weeks ago...everytime I try to access the internet via WIFI...it blows me off. I have tried 5-6 different WIFI spots...to be sure it was not mine at home...does the same thing everywhere...

Recently I have lost the ability to access the internet via WIFI with my I Pad one first generation. It blows me off every time I try. I have
tried 6 different WIFI spots to be sure it was not the WIFI at home. Just doesn't work?????

I spoke to several other Ipad 1 users who have identical problems...worked well since the original purchase then
recently....no WIFI.??????

I cannot access the internet via wifi on my time capsule.

I cannot access the internet via wifi on my time capsule even thought it was shown that I am connected to the time capsule with full wifi on my iMac. I use to be able access the internet via wifi on the TC. However, after playing around with the airport utility on my iPad I was no longer able to access the internet via the wifi on myTC. How can I fix this problem?

Did your TC recently upgrade firmware to 7.6.3?
I recommend you do a full factory reset.. and redo the setup.
Use different names.. SMB type.. ie short, no spaces. pure alphanumeric for everything.
Use only WPA2 Personal security.
If that doesn't work, give more info.
Age of the TC.. model number.. A1xxx from the base.
Firmware revision.
In the computer are you getting the correct IP and router and dns values? Please post a screen shot.

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.

I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and back

I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and backing up data wirelessly via time machine.
I have a Mac Pro, iPhone 6, iPad, Apple TV and Time Capsule. No home Internet.
Is is possible to have my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot used to provide Internet to my wifi network on time capsule? Has anyone else had success doing this? I'm not a tech head and really know very little about things like this. Thanks. Jen

You can have a go using a wireless bridge.. eg the airport express will do this.. you can join it to the iphone wireless running as a hotspot.. and then plugged into the TC wan port.. the TC has to be setup in router mode.. so this is going to give you double NAT errors.. and of course errors for all the time the hotspot is turned off.. but it can work. However you might find it requires you to manually connect up each time.. If you are really going to try and do this you will manage it.. but how fiddly it becomes might put you off after a week.
You will chew up your 5GB very fast using any streaming media even radio. So be very careful to track the usage.
Apple should have built in the TC the ability to plug in a wireless 3G modem.. via the USB but Apple have ceased to do adventurous stuff.
If you give up the TC as main router there are plenty of better products on the market that will handle multiple wan connections.. !!

Accessing the internet via bookmarks

Hi,
When I use my bookmarks try to go on the internet via my Palm T/X I get this message" The page you requested cannot be displayed. The website you are trying to access may betemporarily unavailable or the URL you entered cannot be resolved."
I can confirm that my WiFi works ( I can connect) and the the websites are available through my computer. I tried re-entering the bookmarks and still get the same message.
Can you help?:

HT1178 What the difference is between WPA and WPA2 and how are these settings affecting the access of other computers to the internet through my Time Capsule

I have a Time Capsule of the 4th generation and I am pretty impressed since I just had a fried harddrive on my 3 month old Imac and Time Capsule restored it fully including all programs etc. without having me to put in all serial numbers etc. for that I give it an A+. However what I find very frustrating is the very short and incomplete user manual and setup instructions. I give those a D-. It does not explain the consequences of certain choices to a normel non computer gig user like me:
I do not understand what the consequences and difference is between the security setting WPA/WPA2 and WPA2 when setting it up. It would be helpful if the manual would explain something like: If you set it onto WPA2 then computers older than XXX years will not able to hook up to the internet through your router...or the likes, since I slowly supect this may be the reason for some of my troubles.
I also have a 5 year old PC with vista connected to the Time Capsule. It can wireless connect to the Time Capsule and access the printer (I have managed that after some painful hours...) but it cannot access the internet with that PC through the timecapsule wireless, only if I hook it up with a cable. Why? Does that have to do with the fact that I have set the TIme Capsule to WPA2?
Our PS3 can connect wireless, no problem. However, I friend of mine tried it with a quite new Toshiba Notebook and he could see the Time Capsule but again it shows the line from the Time Capsule to the internet blocked. All other computers linked with data cable to the Time Capsule are connected to the internet no problem. What have we done wrong? Should I change the security setting to WPA/WPA2?
I tried the latter, but then another problem does come up, which was there from beginning on: When I change the settings for my Time Capsule my Imac suddenly cannot find the Timne Capsule anymore, even so I am only 3feet away from it. When I set it up for the first time 3 month ago it drove me crazy. The very first time it found the Time Capsule right away. But when I discuverd a mistake in my initial setup and I went through the settings again to change stuff it suddenly could not find the Time Capsule anymore. Only after frustrating 20 times or so with turning wi-fi on and off several times inbetween did it suddenly find the Time Capsule in the set up menu. However, when I tried changing my security setting to WPA/WPA2 today to see whether this solves my other problems again it could not find the Time Capsule when I was finished with the settings and I had to give up/cancel. Why is that???
I would really appreciate some help here. But please I am not a computer gig and normally always had assistance with these things. On the other hand I am not all stupid either (even so these manuals assuming we all grew up sleeping on a computer make me feel stupid).....
Thank you all in advance

Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
- To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
- They are two kinds of internet connection.
WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
I am sure that they can help you with that.
I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

Why can't I access the internet via ethernet port on my Airport Express?

I have an Airport Extreme base station and two Airport Express units. The Extreme is connected by ethernet to a BT Home Hub (BT is the internet provider). The network works for all the other computers that have Airport cards BUT I want to connect a Mac Mini (no airport card) by ethernet to the Express, but no matter how I try re-jigging the settings on the base station and Express, it won't connect. Mac Mini WILL connect when wired directly to the Extreme base station, so it's not the port. Also, I have been able to stream iTunes to the Express units so they are functioning in that respect. What am I doing wrong or not doing? Do I need to set up a WDS? Is there a bridging mode? Do I need to have a relay? Surely internet via the Express is possible!

The Airport Express units are the A1088 variety. The Extreme is A1354. Originally I set up the base station to create a network and got the Expresses to 'join network'. However, since that didn't work, I dug a little deeper and investigated WDS and bridge settings. The base station wireless mode is 'Create a network'. I selected 'allow this network to be extended' and made sure that the channel used was the same as the Express units. I have set up one Express to be a WDS remote and one to be a WDS relay on the same channel of the same network with the same password. I have specified the MAC address of the base as the main and the other MAC addresses in the appropriate places for the Expresses. I have tried selecting the 802.11b/g radio mode manually as well as in automatic. Access control is off for all units. I have tried the base station connection setting on 'Off (bridge mode)' and 'share a public IP address'. Am I just missing something?

Problems accessing the internet via wifi

I'm not able to access internet via wifi but am connected to my wifi network.
No problems when using 3G
I guess it is a dns problem?
when i check the wifi settings IP address and subnet mask
have details but is blank for router, dns and search domains.
What details should I input there?
Would it mess anything up if I used the same settings that my iphone uses?
I know wifi is ok because I can download books to my ipad with stanza using wifi.
Sorry don't know too much about this sort of thing

Is their a limit to no. of devices that can connect?
Yes, this would be determined by the size of the IP pool allocated on your time capsule router. Ordinarily this should be large enough by default to accommodate the number of devices you have.
Not sure where to check
"If DHCP is not working for you then you should check to see if your router is set to do DHCP and that MAC address filtering is not turned on"
*First, please note that if you aren't really familiar with network setup you should probably give Apple support a call and they can walk you through this.* See: http://www.apple.com/support/expert/
You can access your Time Capsule router using the Airport Utility which is found in the Applications/Utilities folder on your Macbook Pro. If you use this utility you can see how your router is setup. Post what you see here, i.e., Network name, radio mode, channel, Security password protection (WPA2 personal is best), etc. Of course, don't post any passwords.
Don't forget to check that the IP Address selector in your iPad WiFi setting for your network (which can be DHCP, BootP or Static) is set to DHCP.
I will turn Time capsule off for a while to try.
At this point it might also be a good idea to also go to Settings > General > Reset on your iPad and select "Reset Network Settings".

How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection, How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection

Trying to connect my xbox to the airport express. Have wireless in home and do not have a ethernet point behind tv/xbox. How do I configure the airport express to connect to my wireless network and then the airport express can use its connection via ethernet to connect the xbox to the internet.

Is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) a 802.11n model? If it is, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge or ProxySTA. This would allow the AX to join another wireless network and have its Ethernet port enabled for wired clients, like the Xbox 360.
To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility.

My PC isn't accessing the internet via my Time Capsule.
