Need help connecting 5th gen Time capsule via wifi to existing wifi network(non-apple) and use ethernet out to AV receiver?

Could anyone help advise me how to use my 5th gen time capsule airport to connect to my existing wireless modem(non-apple) over the wireless network (NOT using the WAN port with a cable) and then connect with an ethernet cable to give internet connectivity to my AV Receiver?  I would also like to be able to back up my macbook pro with the time machine/time capsule benefit.  I know that many AV setups have recommended using airport express to receive wireless connectivity to pass on internet through the ethernet port to AV setups, but I thought I would try to add the extra functionality of the over-the-air backups with the time capsule at the same time.  Is this possible without connecting with a wire to the modem which has no ability for a wired connection where the TV and AV setup is?   Any help would be much appreciated:)

It doesn't work except to another apple router. Sorry.
The express does work.. that is a difference between Express and Extreme/TC.

  • Help needed setting up 5th Gen Time Capsule as a wireless hard drive with Windows

    I've got hold of a Time Capsule as I managed to snag it for a decent price and, to be honest, it looks better than other options out there, but I'm having some issues setting it up how I want it.  My wireless router is downstairs and I connect to it from my desk on the first floor, which is where the Time Capsule will be as well.  I basically just want to use it as a wireless hard drive to store movies and the odd document.  I really need some guidance on how to go about setting it up, as Apple don't seem to provide any user guides for Windows at all and the Airport Utility is essentially a very broken piece of software - all I've managed to do so far is run into a series of blinking light warnings and errors.

    You cannot setup the new Gen5 TC from windows. It is clearly stated in the specs that it requires v6 utility which has not as yet.. and perhaps never will be made available in windows. In other words this is now an Apple device and almost exclusively for apple. Or at least a mixed network. Without Apple clients you will have continual issues.
    If you have iphone or ipad or even an ipod with iOS v6 or later.. you can download the iOS version airport utility for setting up the TC. Once setup windows can use it.. with some issues.
    I don't know if you can return it.. but if possible I would. You can buy a wireless synology or WD or lots of other brands now. what they might lack in looks they make up for in functionality.. sadly in the end.. functionality is essential whereas good looks are merely that.. good.

  • Connecting Macbook with Time Capsule via Ethernet

    Hello!
    I have a time capsule and a macbook. I used to backup my data with the time capsule via ethernet. Now there was an update to airport I guess and since then the menue to configure the time capsule looks different and now I have trouble finding out how to set up the connection between macbook and time capsule via ethernet. I dont want the WLAN to be used so I want the ethernet be the connecting part of both esp because i want to backup lots of data now but Im missing the setting that said use use time capsule via ethernet. I just dont know how to set it up now.
    I have the ethernet cable in the very left ethernet slot next to the reset button of the time capsule and its also plugged in to the ethernet slot on the macbook. But what are the settings for this connection.
    Can someone help please otherwise i think my 23GB backup will take 3 days...
    Thanks in advance
    Dine

    Open the network preferences and make sure the ethernet is getting an IP from the TC.. you do not need to change any settings .. all you need is network connection.. if the ethernet is working just turn off airport for the time the backup is going on. Once you turn off airport in the MBP the connection will be forced to ethernet. You can do it more correctly by rearranging the order of preference for network connection.. but for now.. just turn off airport.

  • How can i get an xbox 360 to connect to my time capsule via WIRED connection?

    I have a Time Capsule and i need to connect my xbox 360 to it because my stepdad has the network in this house set up crazily. He gets mad if i ask him to change anything because it is how he wants it and it works with EVERYTHING ELSE. I do not have a wireless adapter so i need to connect the xbox to my time capsule via a wired connection
    Thanks =]

    Here is what I would look into.
    Use iCloud and photo stream to upload pictures taken with the iPad.
    Find a remote log in utility, or web based app to then remote to your computer.
    Download the files from photo stream to your time capsule.
    As far as recommending a remote log in utility. I have not experience in that area and would need to do research my self.

  • I cannot access the external hard drive connected to my time capsule via wifi

    I have two external hard drives (a WD mybook and an older Seagate, both HFS+ formatted) connected via a USB hub to my time capsule (which is also my wifi router).
    Here's the funny thing: If I a connect my mac mini to the time capsule via an ethernet cable, both disks show up as normal in Finder - along with 'Data' under Time Capsule under Shared.
    But if I disconnect the ethernet cable and connect to the router via wifi, there's no sign at all of the two disks - not in Finder, and not under 'Disks' in the Airport Utility.
    Anyone out there with a solution?!

    Hi William, and thanks for replying.
    I do have a guest network set up (for exactly that reason that guests don't get access to shared disks) but am definitely not connected to it.
    So sadly it has to be something else.

  • 5th gen time capsule powers down unexpectedly

    Whether or not time capsule (wi-fi) is being used it just powers down unexpectedly ( 1 to x times a day). Done a reset and made ssid visible but to no avail ( after diagnostic check help list). Also powers down when trying to make a back up to external drive. Starts up without problems when power cable is re-inserted. Doesn't get hot etc. ( thinking problem is a safeguard cut-out thing). Other than that 3 months with no probs but now this?!? Anyone with same situ? Greetz chilly

    We have seen a number of reports of the Time Capsule powering down unexpectedly. You should have Apple replace the defective Time Capsule as soon as possible.

  • Please help: connection issues (ATT, Time Capsule and xbox 360 live)

    I am having near constant issues with my home network, so I am hoping to tap in to the collected knowledge of the internets to help sort things out.
    Main issue: daily/hourly internet disconnection. Now, my 360 wireless adaptor can't even see the network. Ugh. Basically, I am hoping someone could give me the "best" configuragtion (ie settings for network, Time Capsule, 360 and/or wireless adaptor) for my current set-up.
    My set up:
    LinkSys modem from ATT (in bridge mode)-->
    Apple Time Capsule (router) -->
    Mad Catz 360 wireless network adaptor -->
    Xbox 360
    I have spent some time looking through the forums but keep running into conflicting recommendations and nothing I have tried so far seems to have helped. Thanks (in advance) for the help.

    So, you must have somehow reconfigured the 2wire to perform as a simple modem, even though it is a full fledged modem/router combination. I've see the 2wire, but never configured one, so I can't offer a lot of help there.
    Was there a particular reason why you configured the 2wire as a bridge when you could have simply configured the TC as a bridge to work with the 2wire? In other words, the 2wire would do the PPPoE service along with DHCP and NAT.
    Maybe you tried it this way and something didn't work?
    We've seen a number of posts from users who are having issues with the TC doing the PPPoE service. I just wonder if you are not betting off letting the 2wire do what the ISP intended it to do.

  • I purchased a 3TB Airport Time Capsule After 8 hours been able to configure the box using Ethernet connection but now I want to move my current backups and it wants authentication but no box is available to provide my administrator name can anyone help ?

    I purchased a 3TB Airport Time Capsule to use with my Mac running latest Maverics. After 8 hours been able to configure the box using Ethernet connection but now I want to move my current backups from my small driveand it wants authentication but no box is available to provide my administrator name can anyone help ?

    I overcame the permissions by allowing both paths to have read and write access to anyone but that didnt solve it until I copied it into the DATA directory which I created on the Airport Time Capsule.
    I had already discovered the TIME MACHINE How to transfer backups but I am struggling still with the item and cannot currently get it to work. My setup seems to have created a wireless link to my router which is what I wanted and in that set up there are three options. I have simply gone for the extension of my network. I ignored the other option there which I cannot remember something like DNS? That may be the problem becasuse when I remove the Ethernet connector it just doesnt go anywhere.
    I have also found I cannot update my TIME MACHINE software (currently 1.3) as although Apple tell me I should be able to set backups hourly daily or weekly I have only ever been able to run it hourly when i would prefer longer intervals so thought an update might be necssary.
    Also tried to get an update for my Airport Utility (Currently 6.3.2 but cannot find one even though I have read there might be one available and again this might be the problem.
    Have reset the Time Capsule now about a dozen times.
    Following the instructions and trying to copy my existing backup it suggests you need to copy it to the root directory but that is when I get some sort of security issue and I found I could only get it to accept if I dragged my .backupdb to the DATA directory on the Time Capsule. I dont even know if I do this it will work when I come to use it.
    I therefore found your reply of no more help than i had discovered but I hope you return to read this note because I really do need some help.
    I am intending starting again in the next couple of days and fully documenting what I do and what I see and then as I suspect it will be no different and I will then seek an appointment at the Apple Store in Trafford Centre and if that proves unsuccessful then I still have time to return and become a dissatisfied customer with Apple for the first time in a long experience with Apple. I have noticed frightening notes on the conversations which point to problems of Mavericks working with Airport Time Machine!! So in the end it might not be me doing anything wrong. Unfortunately you do feel left out in the dark sometimes that is why I hope you can respond with a solution?

  • Can i connect ipad to time capsule via 3G?

    I understand when I am using wifi, I can connect my time capsule with 3rd party Applications in iPad. How about via 3G? I cannot obtain the IP address of my time capsule?
    Thanks

    check the post by Tesserax in this discussions for pointers.
    as for setting up FileBrowser on iPad, refer to the manual or contact the developer.

  • My MacBook Pro keeps telling me there was a problem connecting to a time capsule that no longer exists on my network.

    The error showing states "There was a problem connecting to the server 'name of my old time capsule' ".  However, that time capsule has since been replaced by a new time capsule.  Why does my computer continue to try to connect to the old time capsule.  It has no trouble connecting to the new time capsule.  In fact, while conducting a Time Machine backup to the new Time Capsule, the error message popped up concerning the old time capsule.  Very frustrating because this message stays on top of other windows and when it pops up, I must stop what I am doing to to make it go away.  Right now, I just push the box off to the side so it doesn't cover any of my windows.  That doesn't solve the real problem, though.

    System Preferences -------> Time Machine
    Select the correct disk you want to back up to (new device), click on the old disk in Time Machine preferences,    ----------> Remove Disk

  • "I have a 5th generation time capsule. All of my wifi devices (iPhone, iPad, macbook) worked fine until the other day when everything but my laptop stopped receiving a wifi signal.

    "I have a 5th generation airpot extreme. All of my wifi devices (iPhone, iPad, macbook) worked fine until the other day when everything but my laptop stopped receiving a wifi signal. I shut down my Mac, unplugged the modem, router, let sit for 10 seconds, started it up and 'presto' everything worked.  Then yesterday all but the macbook stopped receiving wifi again.  I tried the same scenario as the other day but nothing.  I reset the airport extreme to factory settings and still nothing.  Is the airport extreme not working?

    If it was not working the Mac would not get a signal. Restart the IOS devices and reconnect to the network

  • Time Capsule 2TB interoperability with existing home network

    Can I still use Time Machine backing up to my 2B Time capsule if it is LAN wired to a Netgear router?
    I am using my Netgear router as the primary and wireless device.  I have my TimeCapsule Wired via a lan port.  I mostly want to use the time capsule for stoarage and time machine backups.  It would also be used for media storage.  I have been told adding it as a wireless bridge is very slow. 
    Thanks in advance for any experience/advice.

    For windows.
    1. Load in the appropiate airport utility.. even if you have latest TC, and cannot configure the unit. since apple is miles behind in windows utility as neither v6 utility nor win8 have been dealt with. (or perhaps they have.. poorly!!)
    The utility includes a connection agent and bonjour for windows which helps loads.
    2. Make sure you use SMB compatbile names in the TC.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    3. In windows explorer type into the address bar
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress where you put in the actual name or IP.
    If it doesn't respond turn off the windows firewires.. and maybe any security software you have.
    Tell me if it still doesn't work.. also what version TC are you talking about.. Gen4 or Gen5??

  • Airport Time Capsule cannot see my existing wireless network

    Just bought iMac and an ATC, and have the iMac connected to my wireless network (Linksys WRT1900AC, 802.11ac) and trying to get the ATC to see it and extend it.  The ATC light is blinking amber and while I can see it in the airport utility, when I try to get it to join my wireless network--it doesn't see it, only sees one (my iMac sees 6) and it's my neighbor's (who has a Mac, not sure if Apple wireless)
    What to do?
    Thanks!

    The Time Capsule cannot wirelessly "extend" the signal from the Linksys wireless router.
    Instead, the Time Capsule needs to connect to the Linksys router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If you want the Time Capsule to provide additional wireless coverage, it can do so. Simply use the same wireless network name and password as the Linksys network.
    Here, I am assuming that the Time Capsule will be located a few rooms away from the Linksys router....and not in close proximity to the Linksys router.

  • Need help connecting to my usb disk via wan

    Hey
    Ive manage to connect to my usb disk in my own wifi network but when i try to connect to it through Safari using afp:// myip:chosenport it will not work, why doesnt it? I think ive checked all boxes in Airport ultility to make my disk avalible.
    Could some friendly soul make a guide so i know if im doing anything wrong with my settings?

    I see my usb-disk in the sidebar when i open Finder, if thats what u mean?
    I should have the latest update with Mountain Lion so i suppose it would support it? And yes i am using an Airport Extreme router!
    When i try to connect through Finder->Go to Server and-> writing my ip and connecting, the connection takes about 1 minute to say that the server is not avalible at the moment or something like that!

  • External HD connected to Time Capsule via USB, how can I back up this drive to Time Capsule?

    I have my itunes media all on an external drive connected directly to Time Capsule via USB.
    I plan to share this external drive over the network to share my media, but how can I back up this drive to the Time Capsule?

    how can I back up this drive to the Time Capsule?
    You will have to do this manually using the Finder, or try a commercial application like Chronosync or Carbon Copy Cloner which might be able to backup a network drive to another network drive. Check with their support folks first before you buy.
    If you could connect the external drive directly to a Mac, Time Machine would backup both the Mac and the external hard drive (assuming that the external is formatted correcly to work with Time Machine).
