Setting up Time Capsule to Work With Verizon DSL

I am not able to establish a new network using the Time Capsule I just purchased. The funny thing is that the capsule is replacing an Airport Express that works just fine. Same cables, same location, just that the time capsule cannot get an appropriate IP address from the DSL modem. Anyone have any experience in setting up the unit (using Airport Utility) to connect with Verizon?

I realise that, because it's 802.11g the MacBook will not be able to achieve the potential connection speed of the 'N' Time Capsule, however, even if I had the TC, with a G4 PowerBook on the LAN everything would connect at the (lower) 11g speed anyhow, wouldn't it?
As you have already ascertained, any 802.11g device connected to a 802.11n network will only operate at the highest available bandwidth that 802.11g allows ... mainly 54 Mbps. In addition, when even a single 802.11g device connects to a 802.11n network, 802.11n clients will only get about 70% of 802.11n's top bandwidth. To get around this, you can configure a "dual band" network. With this type of network, you can run both "g" and "n" clients on separate network to get the highest bandwidth possible for each. So, in your case, the Time Capsule will run a "n" only network and your AX will provide the "g" only one. The AX would be connected directly to the TC by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge so clients on either network would "see" each other.

How do i set up time capsule to work with airport extreme base to extend wireless network?

i have a airport extreme base, how do i set up a time machine to extend the wireless network i have with airport extreme? i have also 3 airport express's connected to the same network to extend my wifi all over my house. thanks in advance.

Much better graphics, thanks.
You can leave the Time Capsule connected by Ethernet from the Linksys and configure for a "roaming" network as mentioned previously.
To do this, open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as the AirPort Extreme
No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended
Radio Mode = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon, then the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and allow the Time Capsue to restart
Then power down the entire network
Wait a minute or two
Start the modem first and let it run a full minute
Start the AirPort Extreme the same way
Power up the switch
Power up the Time Capsule for a minute
Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart
Now, your computer will automatically pick up a wireless signal from either the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, whichever device is closer and providing the stronger signal.

I have set up Time Capsule to use with Time Machine but when I open Time Machine it 'cannot find' the Time Capsule and I have to 'Select the Disk' each time. In the Next Backup tab it always says "When disk is connected" even though the disk is already connected.

Your pro doesn't matter.. I presume it is happily working.
Your imac setup has got messed up because you changed from a local (my book being USB type I presume) to network drive. Did you do a clean install of Lion?
Did you use the backup from the Pro on the imac? Otherwise I don't see how the Pro shows up in use previous disk. Where is Pondini when you need him??
You cannot download Time Machine as an App and replace the current version. It is built into the OS.. the only way to do it is a clean install. Unfortunately that might be the only way around the issue.
There is a number of issues that Pondini has covered in the setup issues of troubleshooting.
This is the most relevant I think. http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html
But look at the whole section B setup problems.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
If it was me, I would store all the info you need.. not using TM but using a straight copy of files.
Then clean install Lion. I doubt any of these issues would exist if you had not installed Lion over existing setup or used a different backup.
See if you can get Pondini to respond.. !!

What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

Well it seems that you did not explain to us the full story. Did you change ISP's or something? Why would it not show up anymore?
What colour is the light on the time-capsule? If it's blinking amber, then you probably need to do a factory-reset. That should get it to show up again in AirPort Utility.

Time capsule doesnt work with telia bredband no wifi

Time capsule doesnt work with telia bredband no wifi. Time capsule and its wifi worked in the beginning, but now it doesnt. I have tried everything without success.

There is no question.. so if it is a statement of resignation.. then if under warranty and faulty Apple will fix it/replace it.. if not dead you will be given it back.
Are you using Lion? If so did you download 5.6 airport utility?
Plug the TC into a computer by ethernet.. hold in reset for 10sec.. and then redo the setup.
Give TC and wireless short names and no spaces and no special characters.. lock the wireless to manual a/n-b/g and fix the channels.
Then if it doesn't work most likely faulty. Otherwise it is just setup is wrong.

HT1178 How do I set-up my Time Capsule to work with my existing Wireless Router?

The existing wireless router is my connection to the Internet and I would like to keep it that way. I really want the TC to fuction as an external Hard Drive/Server, Backup Disc! The TC is where all my Music and Photos are located together with my Backups!
I have tried different configurations and I get it to work for a wile, but after a few minutes it will disappear from my Air Port Utility, a rescan will not bring it back, but if I unplug and then plug it back in it will reappear. However if the TC shows in Air Port Utility or not the TC still shows up on my Desktop.
What Settings should I use in Air Port Utility, Should the Ethernet Cable be plugged into Ethernet or LAN Port?
My Current Settings are:
Ethernet Cable: Connected to the ETHERNET PORT
AirPor Tab:
Wireless Mode: OFF
Connect Using: ETHERNET
Internet Tab: Internet Connection
Connect Using: ETHERNET
Connection Sharing: OFF (BRIDGE MODE)
TCP/IP:
Configure IPv4: USING DHCP

I am Running OS 10.5.8 on a PowerBook G4.
Below you will see the Log (IP Address, AirPort ID, Eternet ID, Subnet Mask, Router Address, DNS Server Info has been removed).
I had the TC was originally set-up connected to a DLS Modem, all worked fine Backups over TM all was ok, but then the Modem died. (I upgraded to a Wireless Router). I did have it set up, but I nolonger know the settings, I wanted to do a backup with TM, which had not been done for a long time (6 months)
I tried to backup, but either it was not working or was taking sooooo long, that I decided to do the Backup over Ethernet (still took the hole day for 8.5 GB). I had read that I nedded to chang my setting to be able to Backup with Ethernet. Did not Save the previous settings hence my problem!

Setting up old time capsule to work with UVerse Router

I have a 3rd generation TC and need to connect to UVerse Router.I only need one
network. am using sys.7.5 on old iMac. 2006 I have Ethernet cable.
Please help. Thanks.

Suggest that you use the Mavericks Mac to set up the Time Capsule.
Power up the Time Capsule for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 10 seconds and release
Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the four LAN <--> ports on the Uverse router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
Click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Look for the listing of AirPort Base Station
Just below that, click on Time Capsule
The illustration below shows an AirPort Extreme. You will see Time Capsule
Clicking on Time Capsule will open up the setup wizard. It will take a minute to analyze the network, then display a window that looks like this, except that you will see a Time Capsule icon. Since the Time Capsule will run circles around the Uverse wireless, I I assume that you are planning to turn off the wireless on the Uverse router.
Network Name......Enter a short, simple name for the Time Capsule wireless network
Base Station.........Enter a short, simple name that you want to call the Time Capsule
Password..............Enter a password which will be used for the Network and Base Station
Verify.....................Enter the password again
Click Next
The setup utility will configure everything for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done
That's it.

Setting up Time Capsule as router with DSL Modem as bridge

Hi All,
I want to work this out in my head before I start disconnecting wires. So let me run down what the situation and plan is. If you see a potential issue, I would appreciate the feedback.
What I have:
Verizon DSL. The DSL modem is also doing duty as the router. For a lot of reasons I don't need to get into here, I no longer want the DSL modem to be the router. I have gotten instructions on how to setup the DSL modem to serve ONLY as a bridge. In that configuration, you simply connect the DSL modem to the phone line as usual, then connect your router to one of the ethernet ports. My time capsule has been serving only as a wireless access and backup drive until now. So here is what I plan to do:
1) Connect via ethernet cable, the WAN port on the TC to the ethernet port on the DSL modem.
2) Using the manual setup screen on the TC, select the "Internet" tab.
3) Set "Connect Using" to "Ethernet"
4) Set "Connection Sharing" to "Share a public address"
5) TCP/IP set to "Using DHCP"
At this point, everything should work. At least I think it should. Am I missing something?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
R

I haven't worked with the Verizon gateways, but configuring the device as a simple bridge might require that the Time Capsule be setup to furnish the PPPoE service. You won't know until you try.
If you are not able to "Connect Using - Ethernet", then that would be an indication that you would need to instead "Connect Using - PPPoE". In this case, you'll need to enter your user name and password that you have established with the service provider in the Time Capsule setup configuration. Be sure to leave the Service Name area completely blank if you setup using PPPoE.
If you are able to "Connect Using - Ethernet" and you configure the Time Capsule to "Share a public IP address", you may see a warning during setup that this is producing what is known as a Double NAT on your network. This is normally not too serious, unless you are trying to setup online gaming, which requires a different type of NAT setting.

Is it possible to configure Time Capsule to work with Time Machine (MBP) and Genie Timeline (PC)

I have an Apple Time Capsule (2TB) and I need to configure it to work with my MBP and Time Machine and also back up my a PC with Genie Timeline Pro 2013 (or any other suggested PC back up software).
Setting it up to work with Time Machine is simple enough but the PC access is proving to be difficult.
http://www.genie9.com/support/KB/KnowledgeArticle.aspx?KBID=198
I followed the above steps but still can't connect to the network drive. I have reformatted the TC and will be walking through the steps again. My concern is that the two different operating systems (Win8 and Mavericks) can't share the same destination drive.
I have created two user accounts with drive sharing activated. One in my name for my MBP and the other in the name of my partner for her Dell laptop.
Should the Time Capsule be partitioned? Can it even be partitioned? When I use Drive Utility it can't see the TC. The only way to connect to it seems to be via Airport Utility.
On a seperate note the TC Router Mode is set to OFF (Bridge Mode). I have connected it to the ADSL modem/router (WiFi Off) via the WAN port. All seems to be well. Am I loosing any useful functionality by doing this?
The internet settings are set Connect Using DHCP. I have no issues but I am not really sure what it means and if I should be using other settings. The ADSL modem/router seems to have all the PPP0E settings.
The WiFi on the TC has been set up with a 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz network as well as a Guest Network. I then plan to introduce 2 Airport Express (MB321LL/A). One will be an access point for AirPlay and the other a wireless extender with AirPlay.
There is also a Canon WiFi printer that accesses the 2.4Ghz network. It has an Ethanet port so I am wondering if I should disable the wifi connection and cable it and if so to the TC or the DSL modem/router.

Lion, 7.6.1 firmware and iCloud offers remote access.
http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
To do it without the iCloud service your issue is static public IP address.. if you have one this is simple to the point of trivial. If not it is very hard, as Apple did not put in a standard dynamic DNS service.. (ensuring you were roped into their cloud accounts). Static IP from your ISP is the best solution.. if it is possible go for it.
Then the actual protocol for access is AFP, so the only device you can do this on is a Mac.
Do you have the TC as the main router?
If you want any other kind of access, or to avoid icloud use vpn.. which teamviewer is a kind of.. but buy a real vpn router, and bridge the TC.. you can then vpn into your network with full security and get windows access via smb..

Time Capsule Not Working With Azureus!

Hi everyone.
I have read every post about this and I am sure I've done everything right, but I STILL cannot pass the NAT/Firewall test on Azureus. I even got an Apple rep to look into it and he worked on it for a week and even he doesn't understand why it isn't working!!! I am running Leopard 10.5.2, and I have a 500 GB Time Capsule. I am using the latest version of Airport Utility and the latest version of Azureus. My ISP is Verizon Fios. Please note that when I was using Airport Extreme with a Powerbook G4 OS 10.4, everything was working swimmingly. The ONLY thing that's changed is that now I'm on Leopard and a Time Capsule. So, Here's a summary of what I've done :
1. In Network Prefs, made sure I am using a manually configured static IP address (10.0.1.201.)
2. In Security prefs, made sure firewall is off.
3. In Airport Utility, made sure I am sharing single IP address using NAT and DHCP.
4. In Port Mapping, checked the NAT enable box and opened these ports: 6881-6889, 49125-65535, and 40156 just for kicks. I've entered these numbers both public and private, both UDP and TCP (filling in all 4 fields, in other words) AND made sure the IP address matched the static one I was using in Network Prefs.
5. Restarted Azureus and my Time Capsule (and even the whole computer, just for good measure).
And guess what? Each and EVERY time, I go back to Azureus, run the NAT/Firewall test using a port I just opened, and am told it failed and that the port is in fact closed. I get the "timed out" error.
***?????? I have been working on this for weeks, literally, and I am totally losing it! Will I never see a green smiley again? Please help!!!!
Thank you in advance for ANY tips you may have...

Here are the settings that work for me.
1. Azureus>Options>Connections>Incoming TCP/UDP listen port:  49125
2. Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility>Time Capsule>Internet>NAT> Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol
3. Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility>Time Capsule>Advanced>Port mapping>
     Public UDP portal: 49125
     Public TCP portal: 49125
    Private IP address: 10.0.1.201
    Private UDP portal: 49125
    Private TCP portal: 49125
4. System Preferences>Network>Advanced>TCP/IP>Configure IPv4: *Using DHCP with Manual Address* (this is choice #2 not #4: Manual)
5. IPv4 address:  10.0.1.201
I think that's all. I fooled around with this for a long time and not everything I did may be necessary but I don't want to mess with success.  Don't know why port 49125 works, but it worked on my Dell computer and Linksys router also. Apple Support was positive I didn't need steps 4 and 5 but 60 seconds later, my smiley faces turned green, and when I tested the port, Azureus message said "+Congratulations, you fixed it."+
The only difference I see, between your settings and mine, is perhaps steps #1 and #4. Hope you get it working. Nothing more frustrating than " little yellow faces".

Time Capsule not working with new modem

I have been using my TC with our motorola modem for 2.5 years. On Friday last week, the modem crapped the bed and AT&T sent us a new modem, a netgear. The modem is working fine; when I connect the ethernet cable directly to my laptop the internet work perfectly, however when I try to get the wireless network going through my TC, there is no connection. All the lights on the modem work fine and every time I try to work with the TC, it says that it is working fine as well. It seems like something is not communicating between the modem and the TC.
I've tried restarting both machines numerous times, I've checked and rechecked the WEP password, the IP addresses are fine, and I'm still lost
The modem works. Time Capsule Works. I don't get it!

The new netgear is probably a modem router whereas the old Motorola was pure modem.. not sure but possible.
Reset the TC and set it to bridge modem.. plug into the netgear modem router.. and it should work fine.
If the new netgear is in fact a pure modem.. you need to turn it off and put the TC in place.. wait up to 15min for the ISP to renew the lease on the MAC address then turn on the cable modem.. wait then turn on the TC. But this is not necessary if it is a router.
What is the model number of the netgear so I can check this.. ?

Time Capsule not working with HP LaserJet 1022nw

Hello there,
We had an Airport Extreme 802.11n base station that our HP LaserJet 1022nw was wirelessly connecting to, and it was working fine for the last 18 months. Then, we switched to a 1 TB Time Capsule, and had the Time Capsule import all of the settings from our Airport Extreme. Now, the HP LaserJet 1022nw can no longer see our wireless network in its SSID list... and when we manually type in the SSID information & WPA password information, it still cannot connect.
So when using the Time Capsule, we cannot print wirelessly to our HP LaserJet 1022nw. If we unplug the Time Capsule and re-plug in the Airport Extreme, the HP LaserJet instantly works perfectly again.. it sees the wireless network, it connects just fine, and we can print wirelessly again. But as soon as we unplug the Airport Extreme and plug in the Time Capsule instead, the HP LaserJet cannot communicate at all with the Time Capsule.
All of the settings on both the Time Capsule and the Airport Extreme are IDENTICAL. The network name is NOT hidden. They both have the exact same WPA/WPA2 security settings. They are both set to 802.11n (b/g compatible). We have completely reset the HP Laserjet to its factory default settings and started from scratch; we have reset both the Time Capsule & the Airport Extreme as well.
Everything has up-to-date firmware, including the HP Laserjet 1022nw as well.
But whatever we do, the HP Laserjet 1022nw will only communicate wirelessly with the Airport Extreme, NOT the 1 TB Time Capsule.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Scott

UPDATE: We just temporarily solved this problem by switching our Time Capsule to 802.11b/g mode ONLY (essentially turning OFF 802.11n mode altogether). We did this by going into the Airport Utility, clicking on the "Airport" button at the top, going into the "Wireless" tab, and holding down the OPTION button while clicking on the pop-up menu for "Radio Mode"... and then choosing "802.11b/g compatible" from the list. As soon as we did this, our HP printer INSTANTLY saw our network again and joined the network on its own automatically.

Time Capsule not work with appletalk printers connected via ethernet?

I have seen no definitive answers to this problem posted here or on support forum. Some have suggested (but Apple refuses to confirm) that Time Capsule does not support AppleTalk devices (particularly printers) connected via Ethernet to Time Capsule. Even the "Genius Bar" guys can't tell you for sure, but this is what they suspect also.
I am a 25 year Macintosh user. I have conducted numerous experiments on this problem. What follows is my analysis and work around.
I have found no way to connect AppleTalk printers to Time Capsule by an Ethernet network connected to the back of the Time Capsule. It just doesn't work. Forget all the posts about what to try. Especially forget about resetting your printer settings. Waste of time. This leads me to conclude that those who suspect that Time Capsule does not support AppleTalk printers connected on an Ethernet network are absolutely correct. It is a hardware or software deficiency. I do not know why Apple won't just publish this in their technical specs. It would save us users a lot of time and frustration.
Now the work around. The only thing that I have found that will work is to set up an Airport Extreme to extend the wireless network created with the Time Capsule. Plug your ethernet network into the Airport Extreme, NOT into the Time Capsule. I presume (but have not tested) that this works with an Airport Express as well. I did this with my old Airport Extreme that I had left over after buying my new Time Capsule. Now the printers show up again and print fine.
Please let me know what your results are if you try this.

The problem is caused by an interaction between the Airport Extreme Update 2008-004 and the TC 7.3 firmware. I swapped out my TC for my AirPort Extreme (which sat on a shelf unused since I bought the TC). It has version 6.xx of the firmware. Immediately I could see my printer when I wirelessly connect with my MBPro and can print from it. I put the TC back and then did an Archive and Install of 7.5 on my MBPro. I did every software update except the Airport Extreme Update 2008-004. I could see my printer and print to it! After cloning my HD, I then applied the 2008-004 update to 7.5.5. That broke the wireless printing again! I tried TC firmware 7.3, 7.3.1, and 7.3.2 but not go. It is clear that my computer is trying to communicate with the printer (lots of flashing lights on my LAN switch) but no successful handshaking. I restored my hard drive from the clone and I now I can print again. Final word: if you want to print from a wireless computer connection to an AppleTalk printer connected to TC's LAN do not apply the 2008-004 update to your computer. Apple: please fix this problem.
