Port Forwading Airport Time Capsule

Hi There,
I have got New Airport TIme capsule Today and not able to forward port .
My Set up -
Dlink Modem - My Modem has been setup with PPPe0E configuration.
                        It has own IP as 192.168.1.1
ATC -              I have set up this as Static IP (192.168.1.2) in Airport Utility > Internet tab.
                       Network tab
                        DHCP Only
                       Range ... XXX....XXX
                        DHCP Reservation - Done
                       Port Settings - This is Disabled
Now i have opened port 5900 for my macmini(192.168.1.3) in my Dlink Modem .. for both IP (192.168.1.2 & 192.168.1.3) . But its not working and it's still closed.,
I have tried to use DHCP and NAT option but it throws .. Double NAT err. However Port Open (5900) and i see amber color on TC.
Please advice me in setting.
Regards

The D-Link "modem" appears to also be a router.....so the Time Capsule must be configured to operate in Bridge Mode to work correctly with another router "upstream" on the network.
You only want one device handling routing functions on a network. Other routers need to be configured in Bridge Mode to avoid IP address conflicts and Double NAT errors.
There are no port forwarding settings in Bridge Mode since all incoming and outgoing ports are already automatically open.

How do I port forward or open a port on the Airport time capsule to hook p a security system?

I have an airport time capsule and a security system. The installer doesn't know anything about using routers etc, especially on a mac. They say I have to port forward or open a port specifically of this device. I have very few skills when doing this IT type. Is this hard to do? Can I do it myself? He wants to get an IT guy out? $55 an hour, how long would it take? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

The method is here.
AirPort - Port Mapping Basics using AirPort Utility v6.x
If you need to get someone in, it depends.. The TC can be recalcitrant.. due to your setup of it following the apple guides.. and it depends on the security system and how simple that is.
There are multiple issues.. for example how do you find your IP address from the web when you have dynamic IP from your ISP.
Do you intend to setup dynamic DNS? Can the camera /dvr system handle Dynamic DNS?
I recommend you read very carefully the instructions for what has been installed.. because merely opening the port is only a small part of the issues involved in remote access to the security system.

Which one can I use properly to monitor all the wireless Devices in my hous

Actually, none of the options will do what you are looking for it to do. That is because, this application only monitors the traffic from the device it is hosted on. That would also mean that you would have to run a copy on each computer that will access the Internet on your network; note their individual usages, and then, combine them to get an idea of the total usage.
However, if you are only interested in the amount of Wi-Fi traffic that only your computer is seeing, then the "AirPort Network Card" option would be the correct choice.

How can I test the usb port on my Time Capsule to see if it is working?

Ever since lightening struck nearby (which took out our internet and copy machine) the printer I had connected to the usb port on my Time Capsule in my office has has failed to print through the TC. I can plug the printer directly into my MacBookAir and can print just fine. So there is nothing wrong with the printer nor the usb cable.
I've turned off and unplugged the printer with the usb cable connected & disconnected to the TC, no change. I've unplugged the TC, no change. I've opened the printer utility several times, and always get the "offline" error. I open the print queue, and it says the printer is not connected. I reinstalled the driver for the printer, still the same thing.
I'm starting to wonder if the usb port on my Time Capsule got fried. Any help anyone can give in trying to see if the usb port even functions anymore would be greatly appreciated.
My Time Capsule is model no. A1409.

Power is not likely to be killed .. it is the data components that are more fragile.
So you do have power which as you say is why the USB flashes.. but you don't have signal.
The only other thing you can do is use USB powered hub.. if you have one handy.. but I would not go out and buy one.
A damaged board is impossible (at cost less than replacement TC) to repair. And repairers do not like working on stuff damaged by lightning as components that did survive were stressed.. the transistor junctions become liable to fail at any time.. so you repair it and it just keeps coming back as not working. Sorry if you cannot use it without USB junk it and buy a replacement. A second hand Gen3 is about the best of them it seems.
You can also buy an ethernet to USB print server.. but a new ethernet or wireless network printer is probably near to the same price.
You can hunt ebay for second hand USB print servers.. or airport express, extreme or TC.. often you can find something suitable for just a few dollars if you shop well. Since you don't need the latest greatest to do this sort of job.. and people are disposing of things like USB print servers as soon as they buy network printers.

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

How can I access my Airport Time Capsule from a remote location?

I have my 2 TB Airport Time Capsule connected to my home wireless network and I have heard it is possible to access my information stored on it from anywhere, but I have no clue how to do this.

Frankly, this is not easy, and not for the faint of heart. Having someone to help who has done this will save you a ton of time and headaches.
Set up and use Back to My Mac - Apple Support
Before you do anything though, Back to My Mac assumes that you have a simple modem......not a modem/router that is often provided by Internet Service Providers to their customers. A modem/router.....also called a gateway.....will not allow Back to My Mac to work correctly, so if you do have a modem/router or gateway device, you will need to speak to your service provider to find out if they can provide you with a simple modem.
A simple modem will look something like this:
A modem/router or gateway will look something like this:
Having said this, personally I use another method called Port Mapping to allow my Mac...or an iPhone or iPad connect back to the Time Capsule at home when I am traveling. But, this is even more complicated than Back to My Mac, so BTMM would be the place to start for most users.
If things look intimidating on first pass and you can locate a good tech to set things up for you, that would be money well spent.

Airport time capsule won't allow me to print over wifi

I just bought an airport time capsule 2TB. I set it up and almost everything works great. I have a printer that is not wireless. It's a brother 7065DN. I was told by an apple employee that if I plug the printer into the airport time capsule it will allow me to print wirelessly from my macbook pro. However, this does not work. I'm not that big into technology but if anyone knows how I can fix this please let me know. It would be nice not to have to plug my laptop in all the time to print a short

You do it the same way you did when you installed the printer on your Mac.
Connect the printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule
Power up the printer
Click System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Click Print & Fax
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
Hopefully, your printer will appear.... IF......it is compatible with the TIme Capsule
Click on the name of the printer to highlight it
Click Add
Now try to print. When you open the Print dialog box, it will appear as if you have two printers installed......because you do. One is installed on the Mac. The other is installed on the Time Capsule
You must choose the correct printer at the Time Capsule to be able to send the print command to the printer at the Time Capsule.

Airport Time Capsule Can't Connect to BrightHouse Internet

I have BrightHouse Internet service set up as follows:
1. Coax in
2. Splitter
3. Coax out to ARRIS modem/telephony combo (BrightHouse box) and Motorola Surfboard (BrightHouse box, for high speed access)
4. Cat 5 from Surfboard to Netgear WNR2000 router.
Note: The modem setup and splitter were installed by BrightHouse.
I want to replace my Netgear router with the AirPort Time Capsule (which to this point I have been using only as a backup drive for Time Machine).
Currently, when the AirPort is connected to a LAN port on the Netgear, I get internet to the AirPort (AirPort Utility says so). With this configuration I have the following settings on the AirPort:
1. Network - Off (Bridge Mode)
2. Wireless network - Off (the broadcast conflicted with the wireless signal from my nearby Netgear WiFi)
3. Internet connect using DHCP
4. IPv6 configure automatically
I have tried various settings to get the AirPort connected, but never works. The Airport Congifurations seem OK (green light in AirPort utility), but the Internet connectivity when plugged into the port on the back of either modem is absent (yellow light in AirPort Utility).
I've done all of the obvious stuff (made sure the ethernet cables are plugged into the proper ports, hard reset the Airport Time Capsule, reset both modems (even in very specific order). No luck.
Does anyone know if there is an issue with BrightHouse and AirPorts?

Did you power down the modem and leave it off for at least 20min.. plus or minus.. say try 5min or try overnight.. but all cable services require the modem powered off so you can swap the router. That is because the first device to connect captures the public IP and is registered by MAC address to the ISP system. To get rid of that you need the modem off long enough for dhcp lease to reset..
You also should factory reset the TC to do this. It is really hard to change roles on the TC by simple manual changes. Start afresh. None of your backups will be altered.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
After a reset the TC will go back to router default mode.
Everything else on the network will also need rebooting. This is important to change over to the new router.
Tell us how you go.
If you still have issues what model TC running what firmware??

How to connect New Airport Time Capsule to non Apple asdl router

Guys,
I have just purchased a new AirPort Time Capsule to back up the various macs in my house. I want to connect it to my wireless router which is a non apple product but the setup instructions are a little unclear to me.
My current router has simply a phone line connector and the power source coming into it. Do I simply connect an ethernet cable from the Airport to the Router. And if so, do I use the single Ethernet WAN port or one of the three Ethernet LAN ports on the rear of the airport? I assume the other end of the cable goes into any of the Ethernet slots on the back of my router which are marked 'Ethernet', or would it go into the socket marked 'Broadband WAN'?
Appreciate your help and if anyone is willing to speak on phone, I am very ahppy to call you in the next couple of hours! I am in the UK
Best, Anthony

thanks LaPastengue!
Here is what ive got
What ATT router do you have? Exact make and model please.
    gateway 2wire from at&t
What TC do you have.. Latest AC tall one?? Or older one?? If older. .please tell us the model number. A1409 for example from the base mat.
     yes I have the latest airport time capsule 2TB
Please tell us the full setup.. what is currently plugged into the main modem router??
     The Main modem route has an ethernet cord plugged in the other side of the cord is plugged into the phone      jack
Do not plug the TC in first.. plug a single ethernet TC to the computer.. Hmm. so I need an additional ethenet cord to plug the TC into the computer? Leaving the router plugged in as is?
Open the airport utility and change the TC to bridge mode.
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-23706673-32722 6/450-411/bridgev6AU.png
Update the TC and then plug it into the ATT modem and plug it into your computer or use the wireless and then tell us what happens.

I have just got an Airport time Capsule for back up how do I do it? Do I put the ethernet cable into the back of my sky hub because when I do that the amber light on my Time Capsule flashes amber. Please talk in simple terms as I am a

I have just got an Apple Airport time capsule to back up my one year old iMac......how do I do it? I have tried putting an ethernet cable into the time capsule and to my sky hub, all I get is a flashing amber light, can anyone help I am a silver surfer not used to Apple products, but love them, plus I don't understand half of the jargon....HELP please

Apple's Setup Guide for the Time Capsule is pretty simple and clear for most users, and you don't indicate at what point or step that you are getting stuck.
So, please go to page 8 in your Setup Guide to review the topic of Plugging In Your AirPort Time Capsule.
The Sky hub will likely have 4 Ethernet <--> ports on the back of the device. Pick any one that you want and connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port that you choose.
Then, connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN (circle of dots) port as shown in the Setup Guide.
Continuing with the instructions on page 8 of the Setup Guide, power up the Time Capsule by connecting the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule to a wall AC jack.
Note that the instructions indicate that the indicator light will be solid amber during startup, and it will change to blinking amber during the setup. The light will remain blinking amber until you have configured the Time Capsule at which time the light will turn green.
Next, go to page 12 of the Setup Guide to see the information to Use your Mac or iOS device to set up your AirPort Time Capsule.
You indicated in your tag line that you were using OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), and since that will exceed the minimum requirement of a Mac using OS X (10.7.5) as noted in the guide, you can use your Mac to set up the Time Capsule.
Continuing with the instructions on page 12 of the Setup Guide......
1. Open AirPort Utility on your Mac. It is located as follows: Finder (the smiley face on the dock) > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
2. Select your AirPort Time Capsule and click Continue. You won't be able to do this, but read further......If you do not see the AirPort Time Capsule that you want to configure, choose it from the WiFi status menu in the menu bar, at the top of the screen.
So, clicking on the WiFi icon will yield a small window that looks like this:
The example below shows an AirPort Extreme. You will see Time Capsule on your screen. Click on Time Capsule.
When you click on Time Capsule, that will get the setup wizard going. it will take a minute to analyze the network, then display a screen that looks similar to the illustration below, except that you will see a picture of a Time Capsule on your screen
3. Continuing with the Setup Guide.......Follow the onscreen prompts to create a new network
Network Name...........Type in a simple name that you want to call your network. Do not use the suggested name.
Base Station Name....Type in a simple name that you want to call the Time Capsule. Mine is TC, for example.
Password...................Type in a password that will be used for both the network and the Time Capsule. Write that down.
Verify..........................Type in the password again to Verify
Click Next
The setup wizard will configure everything for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
The Time Capsule is now set up and it will display a green light.

How to add Airport Time Capsule to an existing AT&T U-Verse Network?

Hello, and please bear with me as I am not very tech savvy I just purchased a 2TB Airport Time Capsule (5th Gen) because I'd like to backup my Macbook Pro wirelessly. I've tried customer service with my ISP without luck, AT&T U-Verse. I currently connect through a 3801HGV 2wire dsl modem/router and think I'm stuck using it since numerous other devices are hooked up through it and I'd rather not re-setup them up.
I'm having issues connecting the TC to my existing network. When I use the Airport Utility (tried both while TC is hardwired to my computer, and to the router/modem) it doesn't detect my 2wire network, another network I assume is my neighbor's.
From reading through other posts with similar issues it sounds like I can't use the Airport TC to extend my existing network, say if the U-Verse router was upstairs, Airport TC was downstairs is that correct? Do I have to hardwire the TC to the router/modem? I've found some screen captures of the Airport Utility but I cannot find them. I noticed that they were pre-Maverick screenshots so perhaps the menus have changed?

Do I have to hardwire the TC to the router/modem?
Yes.
Connect an Ethernet cable from a LAN <-> port on the Uverse gateway to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
Power up the TIme Capsule (TC) and let it run few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the back of the device for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the TC to restart, at which time it will be slowly blinking amber.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Other Wi-Fi Devices tab at the upper left corner of the screen
Click on the Time Capsule now and AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analze the network.
Click on Other Options at the lower left of the window
Click the button next to Create a new network
Enter a name for the network and a name for the TC and a password and click Next
Skip the step about cycling power on the modem
Wait while AirPort Setup sets up the TC, then click Done
Now click on the TC icon in AirPort Utility
Click Edit in the small window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Change the setting for Router Mode to Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update at the lower right of the screen, then click Continue and wait for the TC to restart again
You should now have a green light on the TC
You can use either the Uverse wireless network or the TC wireless. If you want the best wireless performance, use the TC network.

How to Setup Airport Time Capsule 802.11AC on Verizon fios

I just got an Airport Time Capsule 802.11AC and i would like to set it up on to my existing verizon fios router as you can't change their router as the cable box works with it does anyone know how to do such a thing?

Setup is amazingly quick and easy, assuming that you connect a permanently installed Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> ports on the Fios router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule, and then use AirPort Utility on your Mac or iPhone/iPad for the setup.
We need to know what operating system you are using on your Mac to provide any specific setup details. Or, let us know if you are going to use an iPhone or iPad for the setup.
The Time Capsule will set up another wireless network, so if you do not need two networks, you can turn off the wireless on either the FIos or Time Capsule. If you decide to have two networks, be sure to separate the Fios router and Time Capsule by 5-6 feet or a few meters.....to minimize the chances of wireless interference occurring between the two devices.

How to connect Airport Time Capsule to WD Live TV

I recently bought an Airport Time Capsule with 2tb storage. I am wanting to access the media files I save to the Time Capsule on my WD TV Live. I have tried doing wirelessly and it works but if I shut my computer it disconnects and wont automatically connect to it even if my computer is open. I keep having to delete and readd the Time Capsule as a media share server everytime I want to access the files. What am I doing wrong???
The bigger question I had is since the Time Capsule has a USB port and so does the WD TV, can I just connect them and access the files via usb to usb??? I dont mind using wifi to connect but if it can be done I would rather connect without wifi so that if my internet goes on the fritz I can still watch movies and stuff from the time capsule hard drive.
Thank you all for any and all help!!!

The media files on the TC are in what format? WD Live can read almost any format but it cannot read iTunes Libraries.
There is a fairly long discussion already on getting WD to read movies from a TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5226379?start=0&tstart=0
Note the info there.
eg SMB naming for the TC.. this is most important. Standard Apple names will be problematic at best.. useless and non-functional at worst. Make sure the WD Live sees everything in the network with standard windows names.
The bigger question I had is since the Time Capsule has a USB port and so does the WD TV, can I just connect them and access the files via usb to usb???
No, you cannot do that. The USB on the TC is for plugging in a printer or a hard disk. It has no access whatsoever to the internal disk.
However the WD live can present its USB disk to the network. So if you simply plug a USB hard disk into the WD live. And you can then copy your movies to the WD over ethernet or wifi (ethernet is obviously faster) but once on the USB drive then it won't matter if the internet is off or even the local LAN and wifi is off as the WD can still play the movies. IMHO that is the best way to do it.

How to configure Airport Time Capsule with IP Camera?

I have recently switched from a DLINK Router (DIR-655) to the latest 3TB Airport Time Capsule. The ATC works great, super fast etc...
However...
I had an IP Camera (Trendnet TV-IP572-WI) connected to my DLINK Router, using a Dynamic DNS account (dyndns) to access if from outside my home (i.e. from the Internet). The configuration on the DLINK was quite straightforward. (Virtual Server)
Question: How to do the same with Airport Time Capsule ? I had a look at the detailed settings menu in the Airport Configuration Utility. but cannot find anything like this (Virtual Server, Port Forwarding etc...)
Many thanks for your help !

What is the make and model number of your "modem"?
Most modems these days are actually modem/routers or gateway devices....which would require that the port forwarding be done on the "modem"....not on the Time Capsule.
If you did not see any settings for DHCP Reservations and Port Settings when you looked around in AirPort Utility, this indicates that the Time Capsule is likely configured to operate in Bridge Mode.......and it is your "modem" that is actually the router for the network.
Open up AirPort Utility again, click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the window
Check the setting for Router Mode.......which is likely set to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Is it?

How to use AirPort Time Capsule 2TB as an external storage hard drive only?

I have a new AirPort Time Capsule 3TB, now I want to use my AirPort Time Capsule 2TB as an external storage hard drive only, how do I it?
I would like to connect the AirPort Time Capsule 2TB directly to my Mac Pro. using OS X 10.7.5.
I have erase disk and reset the 2TB to factory default, after that, I cannot make it to connect to my Mac. Please help.

The 2TB Time Capsule needs to connect to your 3TB Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
Connect from a LAN <--> port on the 3 TB Time Capsule to the WAN "O" port on the 2 TB Time Capsule and configure the 2TB Time Capsule in Bridge Mode and turn off the wireless function on the device as well.
Once that is done, you can connect your Mac directly to the 2TB Time Capsule using another Ethernet cable, or your Mac can connect to the network using the normal wireless network, if you prefer.
