Problem with Time Capsule WIFI Network

Here's what happened to me suddenly at 15.
I have 1 TB Time Capsule connected to DLINK adsl modem. Time Capsule is connected by Ethernet to a PC, by wireless an iMac, MacBook, PC Notebook, 2iPhones, 1 iPad. Password-protected network.
Start the iPhone to tell me that the password for network access is not right. Therewrite, same problem. It does not connect anymore. Then I try with iPad. Even theycan not surf, it asks me the password, says "Unable to access the network xxx".
I go to the PC and I have no problem connecting. I turn on the notebook, same problem, does not accept passoword and can not connect. Restart the iMac and thenworked up and surprise me asking for the password of the wireless network, I enterthe correct password, and does not connect.
Recovery Time Capsule, change the network name etc etc. ...
same Problem
Am referring again, do I reset everything, I create new network ..
With PC and iphone does not change anything, not even with iPad, beginning with the iMac is connected, but the connection is very slow ... and then stops.
When I connected the iMac via Ethernet and even navigate without any problems.
So I think that something is broken or damaged at the wireless Time Capsule.Yesterday I updated Airport Utility ... maybe you can 'hit something?
I also googled and I read that many TC died after 18 months. I have bought for Christmas 2010 ... and have now gone 18 months!

Maybe now it's ok. The problem was caused by the utility airport update on my Pc with Windows 7. I installed 5.5.2 version again, and now no problem with all devices.
Anyone can explain me if is it possible?

  • Problem with Time Capsule Wifi

    Hey there!
    I'm completely lost with my new Time Capsule. I live in Switzerland and have a router (This one: http://www.swisscom.ch/de/privatkunden/internet/internet-zuhause/devices/centro- grande-analog-standard.html ) - the TC is connected to the router via ethernet. I plugged in the TC and the backup went fine (via thunderbolt ethernet, I'm using the macbook pro retina 15"): however, once I plugged out the ethernet and tried to use it with wlan, it was really slow and unstable (doesn't work at all or very slow, like 12kb/s).
    I set the TC up to create a wifi signal because the router downstairs has bad wifi in my room - iStumbler tells me that the wifi signal works just fine even though I can't go online at all (http://prntscr.com/18j1fy) - the TC is set to bridge mode, by the way.
    what am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help in advance!

  • Complex Problem with Time Capsule and Network

    I have setup an airport network based on a 500 gb Time Capsule which for about a year was working perfectly. Last days some problems came up. The network is shared to 2 different macbooks pro. The first macbook pro works perfectly, the internet connection is stable and fast. The other macbook works weird: Although it finds the network the internet speed is very slow and not stable. Also it can't backup on the time capsule as it used to do (msg: can't find the server). Ι have the same network settings for both the macbooks pro and I had several times restart and reset the time capsule.
    Thanks in Advance

    I suspect that you are using someone else's airport connection. That would let you access the internet, but not access your file server. go to the airport menu and make sure that you are using your airport connection.
    If that does not work, does everything work well when the computer is within a few feet of the time capsule?

  • Problem with Time Capsule Wireless Network...

    I have Time Capsule over a year and it worked fine with Xfinity Modem. Recently, Xfinity had upgraded modems to Wireless router and I have ARRIS TG862 from them. I was able to set up wireless network using bridge mode on my Time Capsule and it all worked fine for a while.
    My set up is: Arris Router is conected to Time Capsule thru ethernet connection. I have two more Airport Express in different areas of the house (one in Theater room and one in upstair office). I have conncted one port of Time Capsule to linksys switch which is supplying connection for all wired devices on network.
    Last week, our wirless network stopped working and I rebooted router and TC. Still no resolution. I went ahead and set up the TC to factory settings but forgot to plug out all the network connections from it. I reconfiugred Apple TC with same wireless network name and same network settings. Most of the wired devices are connecting fine and two of the iphones and Macbook Pro won't connect. iphones, seems to be getting IP address but won't connect to interent. My windows laptop says connected to "EAGLE" my wireless network but "EAGLE 2" provides internet connection. I have reset my TC to factory defaults and reset same way so many times but still same results. I called Comcast and asked them to turn off wireless in their router thinking that router is creating a second wireless network but I still have the same issue.
    Any suggestions on how should I set up my TC? I think, it went insane..............:(
    Should I set up TC with a brand New wireless network Name to resolve this issue?
    I have 7.6.4 version on TC.
    I thought I knew, but what's the right procedure to set up TC? Plugged in the router and unplug from everything else and connected thru an ethernet connection to my laptop?
    I have wasted so much time on this with the same results every time.
    I did unplug all the network connections from TC and reset to factory defualts and set up my wireless again but same results.
    Can someone please help me with this? Thanks in advance.

    What is the model of the TC? The actual number.. A1xxx from the base of the TC is important.
    When you have a modem router.. then the TC must be in bridge mode.. and create a wireless network.
    Your names are not yet windows compatible.. please use all names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Fixing names is important part of this.
    But the latest firmware 7.6.4 is also troublesome. I would downgrade it to 7.6.1 and factory reset before you start that process.
    Any TC older than 3years may have hardware issues.. a Gen3, A1355 may need a replacement and certainly anything older does.
    Drivers in windows for wireless are problematic as well..
    Certainly start there and see how it goes.

  • IPhone will not find Time Capsule Wifi network?

    recently updated my phone to the latest and greatest, but now it will not find my Time Capsule wifi network... even when standing right next to the capsule itself.
    this does not seem to be a problem with an old base station... just the time capsule has disappeared off of the phone's network list. my macbook pro and apple tv continue to function normally... only the phone that is acting up.
    anyone have any ideas?

    No immediate thoughts other than when I synced my iPhone with my Mac, which was set up to connect to the TC, the iPhone seems to be configured with all the right settings as if they had migrated across.
    Perhaps try a resync ?

  • Is there a way to see and have control over who connects to your time capsule wifi network?

    Ok, have this question. Have a time capsule wifi network. Have the latest mountain lion on my mac pro. I know if you go into airport utility, and you click on the picture of my timecapsule it shows what clients are connected to my time capsule aka using my internet etc.
    What I want to know, is there somewhere I can go on the mac where I can view who is connected to my time capsule wifi in more detail, see amounts of data they are using, and maybe even boot them off, or ban there computer from the network for a while if need be? Trying to assess what family members are using up all our data, and want to ban the appropriate offenders
    Even if Mac doesnt have anythink, if you know any third parties from the app store that have an app that is like a "tap" on the top of your Mac that shows networking details, that would be great too!
    Thanks heaps!

    Nope.. TC are not burdened with controls.. don't you know..
    In fact you will find it hard to find a wireless router on the market that mets your specs.. but there is a great 3rd party firmware.. called gargoyle.. this can be loaded like an official firmware in a NETGEAR WNDR3800 which is a fairly cheap very good solid wireless router.. bridge your TC behind this router running gargoyle and you can set quota for all your family members (kids I imagine). Quota can be set for daily, weekly even hourly.. and you can apply throttles or qos.. none of these controls even exist in the TC.

  • Problem with Time Capsule after backup session

    I have a problem with Time Capsule after a backup session. Our two Macs (on Maverick) loose connection with the station and the only thing that seems to help is unplugging the Time Capsule  and starting it again! After the next backup session the same thing happens again. The Macs seem not to be able to hold on to the connection and continually loose it.  The iPhones and iPads that we have (4 units) are not affected - it is the Mac Mini and Mac Powerbook that experiences this problem!
    I would be grateful for your help!
    Thor

    This is standard Mac issues and has been a bug floating around since Lion.. it hits some people worse than others.. but once it starts it is awful hard to get rid of.
    Just to confirm the connection to internet is not a problem?? Just the hard disk drops out?
    I recommend you
    1. Reset the TC to factory.. and start over with all new names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
    TC name and wireless name/s should conform. By default the disk share name is data which is fine.
    2. Mavericks has changed over from using AFP to SMB for network filesharing.. why Apple why??
    This is unhelpful to say the least. Many many people are struggling with TC and being unable to mount the network drive.
    So do it manually and force it back to AFP.
    In Finder use top menu, Go, Connect to Server.
    Type AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress (it must be the network name of actual TC.. or its IP address)
    When the computer locates the resource it will ask for a password.. it is public by default.. supply your password or public and save it in the keychain.
    3. Delete the existing TM setup and start over.. See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    I cannot promise this will fix it but should reduce the problem to now and then.. rather than every time TM needs to backup.

  • Suggestions, Observations and problem with Time Capsule shares

    *Some Observations*
    The Time Capsule can take a long time to become active. This is especially true if using an extended or WDS network. I would suspect this is due to the negotiation between devices that it needs to do. I have on occasion believed it to be hung, only to find that after walking away for a bit it comes up. This also impacts devices showing up in the Airport utility.
    Using a time capsule with one Airport Express B/G will work, but adding a second creates problems.
    Extending a network with an Airport Express N seems to work well.
    Best bet is to set up separate B/G and N networks and run your N network as N only at 5Ghz.
    WEP provides no real security, so think of it as you would an open network.
    *My Issue*
    I am having an issue where the time capsule shares become unavailable. It is an intermittent issue, and I have been unable to identify a test case. This happens for devices connected over ethernet as well as wireless. The Time Capsule shows in the Finder list, but the volumes are not available. Connecting to them fails.
    The device also appears in the Airport Utility list, but when clicking on Manual Setup, or guided set up, it causes a hang.
    This results in Time Machine hanging when trying to initiate a backup.
    I have also noticed that when this happens, the signal does start to get a bit flaky with "Roam (Beacons Lost)" messages. Wireless connectivity still seems to be very useable though. I can connect to other network shares through the Time Machine, but not to the shares on the Time Machine. The only way to recover from this is to power cycle the Time Capsule.
    One thing I want to investigate more tonight is whether there are any issues with my keychain and old passwords in case there are multiple failed attempts in the mix that are doing something. Although I know of no lockout feature on the device.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is the second Time Machine, so I have seen this on two different devices. I am also seeing this issue across 4 different computers simultaneously, some via ethernet and some wirelessly. Time Capsule is 7.3.2

    Hi,
    I have pretty much the same problem, 1TB Time Capsule that works fine most of the time as a wireless router. Up till recently Time Machine backups just worked (as one would expect them to) wired and wireless. I went away for a week came back and now every time Time Machine invokes a back up process all of a sudden my wireless network goes down, Time Machine can no longer see the Time Capsule and all other devices (iphone / apple TV other non apple devices) no longer have connections (they see wireless but no pass through to the internet or each other).
    I have tried resetting all sorts of stuff, re-deployed my network, changed IP / LAN settings to make it less complex, Yasu'd my mac, connected only via wires, cleaned out my keychain etc etc and still get the same problems and as per Chris's point airport utility also hangs and the only solution is rebooting the time capsule.
    I am fairly frustrated with this! any suggestions / help would be gratefully accepted.
    thanks

  • Wireless comm problem with time capsule or airport extreme using iMac G5

    I did buy a Time Capsule and an iMac 20" G5 January 2009...Installed all the components and created a wireless network...MacBook, iPhone and iPod Touch connected perfectly...iMac connected but started to drop communications with Time Capsule...Safari, iTunes and other internet-access programs had problems to connect 100% with the web...After reviewing all the post here and "testing/trying" several parameters, I found out that you need to define a WPA/WPA2 password protection with more than 13 characters...FYI, Time capsule is configured using 802.11n (b/g compatible)...

    Further to Bob's comments..
    A Gen1 TC will be using marvel wireless chip and your 2008 and 2010 Macbook will use atheros and/or broadcom cards.. Just open your system profiler and look for info on the airport. We find the mixture of wireless chipsets especially older draft N and later N products can give very varied results.
    The very fact you are linking at 270 and not 300mbps shows some reduction from theoretical max speed.. and really to get over 100mbps with any wireless you need perfect setup.. matched wireless chips etc.
    Do a test uploading and downloading a file to the TC to see if the LAN speed is better than internet speed.
    In reality I think you are doing especially well.. we see loads of people complaining about slow internet here who are getting less than 10% of the speed they get direct when routed through the TC. And on most occasions the limit in speed is not really going to affect what you do, as the real links to the internet are not that fast.

  • Problem with Time Capsule backup

    My Time Capsule is a first gen (500 GB), and I recently upgraded to Lion on my iMac. It seems like right around the time I upgraded that I started having problems with Time Machine backups. They will complete, but then the disk does not eject from my desktop. I am running the Time Capsule buddy widget, and here's the log file:
    Starting standard backup

    You can see at the end where I ejected the disk manually.

    I finally resolved this.  However, I had to erase the entire backup on my 3tb and start with a new backup.  I connected via hardwire to make it go faster.  No problems now.

  • Problem with Time Capsule recognizing three USB hub hard drives at one time

    I attached three external drives to my Time Capsule using a USB hub, but it only wants to recognize one drive at a time. I know that all three work individually with Time Capsule and the USB hub, because when I turn off the two other drives the third appears. I can turn these on and off sequentially, and all are individually recognized, but only one at a time. Does anyone know what I would need to do to get Time Capsule to recognize all three drives running simultaneously on the network? I turned Time Capsule on and off, to see if it would then recognize the three drives, but it didn't help. Could the hub be the problem, that it is underpowered? I do have an AC adapter on it. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have the same issue and would love to know if you resolved it with a powered USB hub. Otherwise, i may just return to one external hard drive--though I will miss the double-backup idea. Anyone try the hub change?

  • Clear net connectivity with time capsule/home network

    So Chicago has a new ISP - Clear. It is a wireless provider that boasts download speeds up to 12mbps. I have been using ATT DSL elite pro with time capsule as my wireless hub. I have extended my network via airport express and have two that power speakers/home entertainment system.
    I have it up and running and connected directly from their router to my iMac. I would like to attach the motorola wireless router to my current home network that runs between the timecapsule and two airport expresses.
    Any help would be appreciated. As well your opinions on choice of wireless ISPs vs home dsl line.
    Thanks
    Jenn

    From your description, it sounds like you could swap the Clear modem and the AT&T modem/router. Power down your entire network for a moment. Then start the Clear modem first and let it run for 3-4 minutes, then start the Time Capsule, then Expresses and computers.
    If you get a blinking amber light on the Time Capsule, check your settings as follows using AirPort Utility. It's located as follows: Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup and then click the Internet icon at top of the setup page
    At the bottom of the next page, look for the Connection Sharing setting. If I understand the Clear info correctly, you would set this to "Share a public IP address"
    I notice that Clear has online tech support, so you make need to refer to them as well. Please post back on your progress.
