Port forwarding to the Time Capsule's LAN IP address

I cannot port forwarding to the Time Capsule’s LAN IP address.
How to fix it ?

Thanks !

The instructions for filebrowser show how to do it.

It is extremely unsafe.. Using SMB over internet is a profoundly bad idea.. because people will not need to try hard to find the port is open and it is subject to simple attacks.

  • I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How?

    I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How to reconfigure.
    I ask because I have music running out of both expresses, and the one that is most distant from the time capsule (routed through the first express) regularly drops the music signal from itunes. And I am guessing the serial configuration of the routers has something to do with this, but my root problem is music dropout - any thoughts would be appreciated.

    If you have the the most current model of the Express devices, the default setup is to "extend" the wireless signal.  In this type of setup, each Express communicates directly to the Time Capsule.
    How did you setup the AirPort Express devices?
    What version of the Mac operating system are you using on your MacBook?   Or, do you have AirPort Utility installed on your iPad?

  • How do I setup "port forwarding" on a Time Capsule on Mountain Lion?

    I am trying to set up a Foscam FI8910W so that I can access it remotely.  I have some tutorials about how to do it, but most seem to involve using an old OS and I'm getting hung up at the step that involves setting up port forwarding.  I have never done this before and I'm flummoxed.

    Tap AirPort Utility
    Tap the AirPort Extreme icon
    Tap Edit
    Tap Advanced
    Tap Port Settings
    Tap New Entry
    Enter the port type and values provided by the manufacturer

  • I want to connect an Airport Express via WiFi to my internet connection and then connect its LAN port to the WAN port of a Time Capsule. Will then any device connected to the time capsule wirelessly be also connected to the internet?

    Background is I can't hook up my time capsule directly to my internet connection via network cable. I tried to extend the network via Wifi, but that did not work. At the moment I have two wireless networks, one with internet connection and another one with my time capsule. So to use time machine I have to change my network all the time.
    Can I buy an Airport Express, use is as a client to my internet connection wifi and provide that connection via network cable to my time capsule and all it's wifi clients?

    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.

  • How to unblock UDP ports from the firewall of the Time Capsule

    Hello i just bought a time capsule and i am trying am using it as a router. I am trying to use Shakespeer
    that is like a server where you share files within the University,it runs with Dtella. However, when y try to get online a message tells me that the firewall of the router is blocking the UDP ports needed....how do i unblock those UDP ports so i can get online?
    Here is the message:
    In order for Dtella to communicate properly, it needs to receive UDP traffic
    [19:14] <*Dtella> from the Internet. Dtella is currently listening on UDP port 4000, but the
    [19:14] <*Dtella> packets appear to be getting blocked, most likely by a firewall or a router. If
    [19:14] <*Dtella> this is the case, then you will have to configure your firewall or router to
    [19:14] <*Dtella> allow UDP traffic through on this port. You may tell Dtella to use a different
    [19:14] <*Dtella> port from now on by typing !UDP followed by a number.

    Hello albertoPeralta. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    To open ports on the Time Capsule, you would use the AirPort Utility to configure Port Mapping.
    AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Shakespeer host device.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    o Reserve address by: MAC Address
    o Click Continue.
    o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
    o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    o Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Public UDP Port(s): 4000
    o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
    o Private UDP Port(s): 4000
    o Click "Continue"

  • Configuring the time capsule airport wlan function as "connect to wlan", the time caspule gets a correct IP adress from the other wlans IP range, but does not assign this to the ethernet ports. With Airport Express it worked!

    Configuring the time capsule airport wlan function as "connect to wlan", the time capsule gets a correct IP adress from the other wlans IP range, but does not assign this to the ethernet ports. With Airport express it worked, the single Ethernet port got the IP Parameters passed through!
    My setup is a Vodafon Esaybox connected to ISP. Time Capsule is not able to extend the wlan of the easybox, neither airport express can do.
    Only the option "connect to wlan" is succesful.
    With airport express I was able to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the lan via ethernet to stream pictures, the TV set got an IP adress from the easybox.
    With the time capsule the easybox dosn't find devices connected to the ethernet ports to submit IP adresses. The TV set get another IP adress (169.xxx.x.x.) in subnet mask 255.255.0.0 and I don not now where from.
    My notebook is a MacBook pro.
    Any idea????
    Thank a lot in advance!
    Kind regards

    Neverthe less, could there be the chance, that this feature could be implemnented with an firmware update?
    That would appear to be a question for Apple to answer. You can make suggestions to Apple here:
    Apple - AirPort Extreme - Feedback
    If the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule are configured to "extend a wireless network" they will provide additional wireless coverage....and...the Ethernet ports are enabled in this type of setup.
    The "catch" here is that you must have an Apple router providing the network to be extended.

  • HT201514 My Time Capsule/Router will not recognize the other Apple wireless devices that I own.  The older Air Port goes online immediately and recognizes each one by name.  The Time Capsule/Router does not finish the start up--long yellow flashing light.

    I recently purchased a MacBook Air and an Airport Time Capsule.  The Time Capsule does not recognize my old iPhone, my old iPod Touch and my new MacBook Air.  The old AirPort Extreme works perfectly on the network, so I know it's not my internet.  It also recognizes all my devices by name and hooks them up to the internet.  Is the Time Capsule broken or is there some secret trick I need to know to get it to work?
    Ellen H.

    Check the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express. Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the Comcast modem is connected to the WAN port on the back of the AirPort Express. The WAN port is the one with the circle of dots shown over the port.
    It sounds like you are connected to the Ethernet LAN port.

  • Time Capsule's LAN Port Problems

    Hi, y'all!
    The LAN ports on my 1TB Time Capsule died last week. The status lights would not come on at all on any port. My iMac's Ethernet port could not see a connection.
    AppleCare sent me a refurbished unit earlier this week, and it was working great. But this morning, when I woke it from sleep, the replacement unit would not connect over Ethernet. The three LAN lights would not come on, and the iMac could not make a connection. I rebooted the TC, and they came back, but 30 minutes later, I woke it from sleep and saw the LAN light turn off as the iMac came up. I moved the cable from port to port to port, and one finally came on. But this does not seem normal or acceptable.
    Has anyone else had any trouble with the LAN controllers on their Time Capsules?
    Thanks!
    Jon

    Thanks for your responses! Nope, I'm just using regular, straight-through Cat5 cables. Definitely a good idea to keep that in mind, though!
    I believe the Time Capsule and Airport Extreme both have Auto-MDI/MDX, but I'm not sure.
    My TC's LAN ports are behaving today, so fingers crossed.
    Thanks!

  • Can I move my USB external to the Time Capsule USB port and still see my backup?

    After much difficulty getting Time Machine backups to work on my new 13" MBPro, after updating to 10.7.2, I've finally prevailed with help of the great Pondini. (You are a great humanitarian sir!)
    Of course I'd now like to put that new 3 TB seagate goflex onto the Time Capsule, share it with the wired in iMac, and WiFi around the house with the MBPro.
    But now I'm afraid to connect it to the Time Capsule's USB, lest my backup be spotlitin' everybody's permissions from years ago and telling my Lion not to start, or stop, or go.
    Truth is- after 3 days of sorting it out (in the end not really knowing how I did), I'm telling people to wait for 10.7.x to update
    (x = "when I tell you it's cool").
    This is the first time in a while that I've been skittish about "recovering" from an update. 10.7.2 is a huge change that I wasn't ready for.
    If I plug this drive into the TC and Time Machine goes crazy again I'll probably throw it out the window.
    So has anyone made a TM backup with a big USB drive connnected to the MBPro port, and then moved said drive to the Time Capsule's USB port? And then still be able to access the backup through Time Machine?
    Hmmmmm?

    I wanted to plug the wifi on the time capsule and send the wifi signal only from the time capsule and have it fully operating.
    Is it possible?
    Not without ethernet connection to the 4G router.. you cannot use the 4G say into the USB of the TC.. there are no drivers for that. And you cannot do any other type of connection.. except ethernet.. so not with your current equipment..
    Scrap the current 4g router and buy something with ethernet, that either takes the 4g modem or the sim having a built in modem.

  • Will the USB port from the Time Capsule power an external hard drive?

    I am interested in purchasing an external hard drive (Iomega 1TB Helium Portable or G-Technology 750GB G-DRIVE mobile)
    to connect to my time capsule, expanding my wireless storage, but I want to know if the Time Capsule has a powered USB port or does the drive I purchase need to have its own power source? Also, Is there any compromise to using a drive that is USB powered, vs one that requires a power source?
    Thanks!

    Even if the hard drive that you choose has its own power supply, you usually need to use a powered USB hub with the Time Capsule.
    Reason....the USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered. You should not really rely on this port to power anything except a single printer.

  • I lost the lan ethernet connection of an older windows 7 pc to my 3 Terabyte router when adding a new local printer to the pc. How do i set this up again so the PC is recognized and can get to the internet again through the time capsule?

    I recently added a new printer to a 2005 vintage PC that is running windows 7. It used to go through a router in my wifes upstairs office to the time capsule by wired ethernet (cat5) but when I added her new local printer thought I would network it, big mistaked, lost all my ethernet connection and she cannot get to the internet. Wireless not an option. How do i set up again the ethernet connection and i will only USB the printer locally this time for the windows pc?
    Tried windows diagnostics, and besides telling me to reset everything and turn router off and on etc. I am in an endless loop.
    Other Mac products are not impacted by this issue.

    I see no direct connection.. a printer and the computer setup for internet are not related.
    But it sounds like the router in the wife's office is now in the wrong mode..
    If you have an existing main router replace the second router for a switch .. that is the easy way.
    Otherwise you need to bridge the router if it has that option.. most do not. Or use wan bypass.. where you turn off the dhcp server in the router and fix its ip to match the range of the main router.. this is the hassle of using router as a switch.
    BUT I am making a huge number of assumptions.
    What I need is the full network layout.. a quick picture would help.
    I need main modem.. main router.. (maybe same box or different).. make model and current IP address and how dhcp is setup.
    I need secondary router.. if that is what it is, IP and settings.
    I want the printer type and model. How it is connected.
    BTW I much prefer to see a network printer plugged into the network rather than usb.. it is only a matter of sorting the IP settings and driver pointing to the network rather than local.
    Or you should think of it as a broken washing machine and call the technician.. who could fix the whole lot in an hour.

  • How to set up the Time Capsule as an access point

    Hi there,
    I have home office and am having wifi-connectivity issues due to the layout of my home.
    I'm getting the electrician to set up ethernet outlets in various rooms in my house so that I can get wired connections in several rooms. What I want to do is connect my Time Capsule to one of those ethernet ports (see the diagram below) so that I can still broadcast a wi-fi signal in my house while having wired connections elsewhere.

    In my research in how to set this up, I've come across documentation that shows how to convert an old Netgear/Linksys wifi router to an access point. Here's an example of the documentation I've run across: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30338-how-to-convert-a-w ireless-router-into-an-access-point. What I haven't encountered is how to do this with a Time Capsule.
    Here are my questions:
    Do I just follow these instructions and substitute "Time Capsule" where the author references "AP"?
    I currently have my network set up through the Time Capsule. Here are some of the things that I currently have set up and corresponding questions:
    all computers can access the printer via wifi - under the above setup, will all computers (connected to the new network via wired OR wireless access) still have access to the printer?
    I have my macbook set up as a media center for my xbox and PS3. The Xbox and PS3 connect to my macbook and access the movie files that I have saved on my Time Capsule and a 2nd HDD that is connected to the Time Capsule via USB - under the above setup, will I still be able to access those movies with my PS3 and Xbox via the macbook media center software?
    Thanks a ton for any help or advice. It's much appreciated.

    Excellent.. great to see people doing the job properly and wiring ethernet.
    Here are my questions:
    Do I just follow these instructions and substitute "Time Capsule" where the author references "AP"?
    Apple system is slightly different.. although the AP method would work the TC has a programmed state for placing it in AP mode.
    And Apple even documented it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260
    The difference in your system, is you are not using an Apple primary router (I presume) but otherwise the same.
    Any router setup as WAP, you bridge the router part.. and you use Same wireless name.. same security setting (WPA2 Personal is WPA2 AES and the only one suitable). Same passkey..
    I would add one difference to the apple insstructions.. they depend on auto wireless channels working. IMHO, auto anything in wireless is akin to voodoo black arts and has more to do with beads and rattles than science. It works fine in some case.. terrible in others.. lock it down. Set the wireless yourself.. at 2.4ghz there are only 3 non overlapping channels.. 1, 6, 11 .. if you use 300mbit N on the main router, it will use 2 of those channels.. choose the third for the TC.
    Of course the TC can also use 5ghz.. and I lock it down as well but that is more my control freak nature.. and strong skeptism of anything auto in the wireless world.
    I currently have my network set up through the Time Capsule. Here are some of the things that I currently have set up and corresponding questions:
    all computers can access the printer via wifi - under the above setup, will all computers (connected to the new network via wired OR wireless access) still have access to the printer?
    I have my macbook set up as a media center for my xbox and PS3. The Xbox and PS3 connect to my macbook and access the movie files that I have saved on my Time Capsule and a 2nd HDD that is connected to the Time Capsule via USB - under the above setup, will I still be able to access those movies with my PS3 and Xbox via the macbook media center software?
    Your number auto changed.. fun isn't it when i edit it shows correctly but when I post it changes the format.
    On the new setup the printer will still be available to all clients .. whether wireless or wired.
    And to second part, yes, all file access is not going to change.. well I don't predict any.. IP of the system might change around but overall you are creating a single flat network. And that will work fine.

  • Can I use the Time Capsule as a backup drive and wired network switch? I do not want to use the wireless part as I already have an ADSL 2  Wireless Router for that. Thanks.

    Hi
    I just went from PC to MAC. Have a MAC Mini and wanted to get a time capsule for backups. I would like to use it as a wired device instead of wireless. Would me connecting it to my router do the trick? Can I then use the LAN ports in the back of the capsule like I would a network switch? Can I just disable the wireless router part of the capsule as I already have an ADSL2+ Wireless Router.
    Thanks

    I wanted to run a cable upstairs from the switch downstairs so the Time capsule becomes my upstairs switch (as I only have Wireless upstairs at the moment. That will work right?
    Cheers.
    Yes, that is also fine.. ethernet being the cable you run.. !!
    You still don't have to use a TC.. which is still a rather expensive box for the job.. an Airport Extreme would offer the same exactly minus hard disk for cheaper price and more than likely better lifespan.. TC with internal power supply run too hot.

  • Can I use the Time Capsule strictly for system backup and continue to use my Airport Extreme for all my wireless needs

    I want to use the Apple Time Capsule as an external drive and continue to use my Airport Extreme for all my wireless needs. Can I do that? The reason I ask is that my Time Machine utility cannot find the TIme Capsule - it only shows me the Airport Extreme, even when I "Rescan". SO I am unable to use the Time Capsule.

    You will need to connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
    Perform a "hard reset" on the Time Capsule by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds, then give it another minute to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule, and click Manual Setup
    Click the Time Capsule tab located below the row of icons to assign a name to the Time Capsule, a device password, and adjust Time Zone settings.
    Next, click the Wireless tab located to the right of the Time Capsule tab
    Change the setting for Wireless Mode to Off
    Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update at the lower right to save the settings and allow 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
    You are all set
