Setting up wireless printer through Apple Airport and Time Capsule

Hi, using Apple MacBook Air OS X and trying to set up a Brother 5370DW wireless printer.  I have used the install CD of printer, and added it to the Apple, but when I try to use it wirelessly it wants to know the Network Security Settings Information.  I have the print-out from the printer setup that printed out the Network Configuration, but it isn't helping me with what the setup CD wants.  I need to know how to find:
SSID/ESSUD (Network Name)
Authentication Method
Encryption Mode
Encryption Key
The printout from printer setup shows some of this information, but not sure if it's what they want to register the printer's wireless signal.  The "Easy Setup" wizard doesn't seem to work and the types of utilities they mention for having these settings automatically set don't seem to be on this system. 
I just want to set up the printer to work wirelessly, it works with the ethernet cable attached.
The Cox cable signal comes into a Motorola modem, then goes to a Mac Time Capsule, which is connected by ethernet cable to a Mac Time Capsule.  However, there is a Ooma telephone unit that is also hooked into the Time Capsule if that makes any difference.
Help sites with Cox tell me to contact router mfg, Apple says maintenance period and additional periods have expired.  If want further help need $50 for 30-days.  Any guidance or referral would be appreciated.

SSID/ESSUD (Network Name)
Authentication Method
Encryption Mode
Encryption Key
SSID/ESSUD = the Network Name of the Time Capsule's wireless network
Authentication Method = the Wireless Security mode (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) of the Time Capsule's wireless network
Encryption Mode = If Wireless Security is set to "WPA/WPA2 Personal" on the TC, then this mode = TKIP; if Wireless Security is set to "WPA2 Personal," then this mode = AES
Encryption Key = wireless security password of the TC's wireless network

  • Apple Airport or Time Capsule with Telstra Air

    Is it possible to use an Apple airport or time capsule (connected to the gateway) with Telstra Air enabled? I believe you have to disable the wifi when connecting a gateway to an apple airport which would prevent you from using Telstra Air. Has anyone tried this? Would like to have Telstra Air but don't want to give up the time capsule.

    You can only get Telstra Air on the modems listed on this site
    https://www.telstra.com.au/broadband/telstra-air/how-to-join
    If you have one of the modems listed on that page it might work as Brizbrenz mentions, but if your modem is not on that page it definitely won't work

  • How do I set up wireless printing to my Airport Express?

    I run my 17" MBP through a DLink wireless router which is located next to my modem in my basement. I have an Airport Express station (not the Base or the Extreme) which I used to use for wireless iTunes serving to my stereo, but which I now wish to use as a wireless print server in my study upstairs. I am not, however, using the Airport Express station for internet.
    I can't find any useful instructions or step-by-step guides to set up a printer on my Airport Express. Can anybody point out how to do this and/or refer me to the appropriate KB article?
    Many thanks,

    Yes but they don't seem to be making it to the post to be deleted Punctuation seems to be a possible cause
    If your goal is to use one network with the AE and your other router online the AE needs to be connected to the modem as the base station as the AE can only be a wireless bridge with an Airport Extreme or connect the AE via ethernet from your other router
    The printing is usually as easy as plugging in the printer and selecting it from your printer list AE is a print server and I use a 4 port hub with 4 printers connected They used to be listed as Rendezvous printers but lately mine are just showing as a connected printer but is printing wirelessly
    Finder > Applications >Utilities > Airport Setup and Airport Admin utilities are pretty straight forward for setting up the routers. I have had and there are still issues being reported with the AE and certain configurations. My first gen MBP1.1 could see it but not connect and my MBP2.2 connected immediately and settings on both machines were the same.

  • Multiple duplicate prints via apple airport and bonjour printer driver on HP Color Laserjet 1600

    Please advise if this request will incur any costs as I have exhausted all self-help resources and articles in your knowledge base. Nothing applies to my issue. I used to be able to use this printer via USB or wireless network using apple airport base station and bonjour printer driver. When my company ugraded to Windows 7, USB seems to work ok and wireless under same setup works too, but each page prints out many duplicates >40 duplicates when in wireless state. I am also trying to print from my IPAD and this does not seem to work at all. If you tell me this printer will not perform, please just be honest and let me know. I don't mind buying another printer if needed but don't want to incur more high level cartridge costs (bought many due to duplicate issue) and could afford the new printer instead. Deciding between brother or hp depending on usable feedback here. Using Lenovo T410 for all that matters...Thank you, Marc

    Unfortunately, without knowing the model of the printer I wont be able to let you know too much information on the issue or how to resolve it. Also, when you upgrade your OS you often have to update the programs you are using, I would recommend uninstalling the printer and using the software available on http://goo.gl/7R6HT.
    Let me know Marc!

  • Apple TV and Time Capsule 802.11n -- idle timeout and group key stuff...

    I've been having some wireless issues since moving to a Time Capsule to provide my 802.11n service.
    I have my time capsule setup as an 802.11n only router, on a 5 ghz band only, with WPA2 security (AES-CCMP.) My reception is great -- but I've noticed in the logs that there's an idle disconnect that seems to occur about every 10 minutes.
    What seems to be happening is that when the idle disconnect occurs, the AppleTV renews its connection. The problem, at least 90% of the time, is that if the "group key timeout" value in the Airport Admin Utility has been passed AND the idle timeout occurs, the unit appears to be unable to connect to the network unless you reboot OR reenter the network password.
    The Time Capsule is setup strictly from a networking standpoint as a wireless bridge -- I have an existing network DHCP server, and during the disconnects, a DHCP renewal is not occurring.
    Another observation when this issue is occurring: on the "Network" settings page, instead of selecting wireless network, you can select TCP/IP, and select "DHCP" and the unit will state that it has successfully connected to the network, and states the network name. The Time Capsule though doesn't show an active client; I have to assume this is some sort of bug.
    Since the unit works fine after a reboot, I have to assume something isn't quite right with the way it is attempting to reconnect to grab an update group key after an idle timeout occurs.
    I'd like to test this further, but I can't find anyway in the Airport Admin Utility to change the idle timeout value. There's a place to enter the group key timeout, but not the idle timeout.
    Has anyone else noticed this behavior and found a way around it?

    Just one more follow-up post to say that I continue to have the same problem. (Just picked up my TC and aTV on Tuesday and didn't get a chance to do too much with it until this weekend.
    I have the TC running in bridge mode to my FIOS Actiontec router. The Actiontec does DHCP for the home network (has to because of paculiarities with FIOS on MOCA with a cable TV set-top box) and runs an 802.11 g network for all my non-N hardware (iPhone, older computers, etc.). The TC runs 5 GHz N-only, and the aTV connects to that. I set things up this way because I wanted to keep the aTV and my N-capable computers on a dedicated wireless channel for speed.
    Alas, I'm afraid I'm going to have to use the aTV on the G network, or perhaps ethernet, until this problem gets sorted out.

  • Apple TV and Time Capsule Compatibility

    can i directly wire apple TV to time capsule to stream movies?

    A Time Capsule.. (TC) has no media ability whatsoever.
    And the ATV is purely a streamer.. it is not a media player.
    You can store your media files on the TC.. and you can plug the ATV into the TC.. and it is completely useless.. The TC has no way to stream video to the ATV.. and the ATV has no way to find files on the TC. Neither work in the way a proper NAS with media extensions work.. or the way a media player works. Everything must be handled by iTunes.
    So it is possible to store the movie on the TC.. pick it up on an ipad.. stream it back to the ATV via the TC. If this is what you mean. All smarts have to be in the software on the ipad to do it.. because the ATV and the TC have none.

  • Why did I see many airport and time capsule devices in iPhones AirPort Utility?

    I had this problem with my Airport utility that I saw three devices(an AirPort Express and Time Capsule and my own AiPort Express) in my airport utility for iPhone. Were they connected to my wifi network which was created by my own AirPort Express? There were two devices that I think shouldn't have been there. I changed my AirPort Express from bridge mode to DHCP and NAT. Those two other devices disappeared. Could other people somehow have used my wifi network and extended it? It was password protected.

  • New Apple TV and Time Capsule

    All,
    I'm wondering whether it will be possible to stream movies and photo's directly from a time capsule to the new Apple TV.
    Oops......this question was already posted. Answer seems to be simple: not possible!
    Message was edited by: SonRon

    It is pretty simple..
    Setup the TC in bridge and plug it into the Netgear.. I would leave the netgear as the main router for now, although in the future you can swap things around. The netgear firmware may have issues with bonjour and airplay/airprint?? Does your ipad print ok now?
    You can setup the TC using Mac, PC (at least up to win7) or iOS.. they all have airport utility available.
    Bridge mode is set differently depending on the version of the utility. This is v5 and how the windows one will look (at least similar to).
    v6 will be as
    With the TC in bridge you will still create a wireless network.. and give it a different name from the netgear.. then all the apple devices can connect to it. Use ethernet rather than wireless if the imac is on the desktop with it. Much faster and better for using Time Machine backups.
    If you run into any issues.. just post the particular issue. It will take a bit of getting used to, but isn't hard.

  • Apple TV3 and Time Capsule are SLOW

    Ive had an Apple TV for about 1.5 years.  I have been using an Airport Extreme as my home router with Comcast High Speed interet, and they have worked great together.. The speed was flawless.. and neve had to wait more than 10 seconds to start playing a movie.
    I just replaced my AE with a 2GB Time Capsule because my back up drive had broken.  Ever since my internet speed on Apple TV has gone to crap.  I use Itunes Radio alot, and now I can't get it to continuously stream.  I also use iTunes Match, and it constantly stops and starts while playing music.  As for movies, forget it... It takes forever to get it started, and when it does, it buffers every 3-5 minutes during the movie...
    At first I thought it was because I was backing up all the time, so I turned off Auto-backup on my MacBook Pro.  No change..
    Is the Time Capsule not as fast as an Airport Extreme?  I haven't changed anything on my ATV3... or my modem.  I leterally switched out the AE for the TC.. got my HD backed up.. and that's it..
    Regular interent seems fine (on my computer and ipad).. but Apple TV gets stuck all the time..

    You do need to spend a bit of time checking the speeds of everything involved.
    Exactly what model was the Extreme you were using??
    If you still have it available you can rearrange the network and run both the AE and TC.
    Certainly the AC model Extreme and TC are identical design and firmware, so there should be no real difference between them. The older models did have differences.. they used fairly different boards and different chassis.. I find placed side by side the Gen4 TC was slightly better wireless signal wise than Gen5 AE. (The TC is one Gen behind.. so they are the equivalent).
    To start to figure out your problem you need to do some work to figure out where the problem is.
    The WAN connection of the new TC has been reported as slow. The issue may not be the wireless, or lan side at all but the WAN connection to the modem. What model is the modem??
    Please do some testing to check if you are getting full WAN speed. Test by using a computer with ethernet only connection.. wireless off.. to an internet test site. If this shows full speed, then next test:
    Try by wireless with ethernet disconnected.
    Test the laptop in the same location as the ATV. What link speed do you get?
    Is the speed poor in this location?
    Give some feedback and we can think up some more ways to test the problem.
    There is one simple solution though.. plug the extreme back into network and run the TC in bridge behind it.

  • Unreliable wireless communication between laptop (Vista) and Time Capsule

    I am using a Time capsule for my wire less router at home. I have a new laptop running vista and the connection fails frequently. It is restored using repair. This does not happen with this laptop in other wireless locations. I also do not have this problem with my older laptop running xp (at least not as often). Any suggestions?
    I am thinking of buying a 802.11n card for the laptop. any chances this will help?

    Please open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just under the row of icons
    What is the setting that you have for "Wireless Mode" on this device?
    It should be "Extend a wireless network" and the other settings should match those on the AirPort Extreme.
    Open AirPort Utility, select the AirPort Extreme, and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Make sure that you have a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"

  • Airport utility does not find any airport and time capsule hardware

    Hi, I have 4 airport expresses (2 for music and one for extending network) and a time capsule that also acts as my wifi router. The expresses have always appeared and disappeared from the express utility, while the TC is always listed. Now airport utility cannot find find any of them, and after many rescans, and a few "successful" hard reboots (in the sense that they were configured, but then disappeared again), still does not see them. The strange thing is that the TC has to be working because this computer is hooked up to the internet via the wifi router, and it is working fine. Any ideas? The expresses are not that big of a deal, as I can always plug an ipod to play music, but they used to work. I am on 5.4.2 on the utility, having rolled it back a few months ago when some of these problems begain. thanks

    Welcome to the discussions!
    It sounds like you are trying to scan for and configure your Apple devices using wireless. If you haven't tried this yet, I think you will have much better luck if you connect an ethernet cable directly from your computer to the device that you are trying to "see".
    If this does not work at first, it may help to power down both your computer and the device, then connect the ethernet cable and power the computer and device back up.

  • Optimal use of iTunes with Apple TV and Time Capsule

    I’m undertaking a major “infrastructure” upgrade. This will involve Time Capsule and Apple TV. My current environment consists of 1 PowerBook and 1 Desktop PC running WIN XP. I’m running on a wireless network based off of an old Linksys Gateway (G-Cable). I’m backing up each device with separate external hard drives which are quite old. Shortly, I’ll be adding a 2nd Powerbook to the mix.
    My configuration plan is to install Time Capsule to backup all of the devices. I will then add Apple TV to stream iTunes content to my TV. My current Powerbook contains my iTunes Library which is nearing 70G.
    In regards to Apple TV, is it recommended to go with the 40G model and maintain the iTunes library on Time Capsule or other external drive?

    5 Ghz may help avoid interference, but it also has shorter range, it depends on the circumstances surrounding your location whether it's a better option or not.

  • ITunes, Apple TV and Time Capsule streaming questions

    I have a question about how to handle an Apple Tv with my new Time Capsule setup.
    Setup is as follows
    Macbook with 29g iTunes library, mostly music and purchased iTunes Music Videos. Some movies converted via Handbreak. All of that synced to my 160g ATV.
    Time Capsule with 300g of movies converted via Handbreak.
    Macbook Pro that has the movies on the TC as it's library, shared to stream to the Apple TV.
    I am connected with the Macbook by G, the Macbook Pro by N, the Time capsule by N. assume that the Macbook is off, so that everything is N.
    If I stream a movie, does the path go Macbook pro reads time capsule, time capsule sends the data to the MPB, and then the MPB streams to the ATV?
    Or, does the ATV read the path of the music on the TC, and stream it direct from there?
    I tried to play an online game (World of Warcraft) while watching a movie on the ATV that is on the TC that hitched / studdered / buffered like crazy.
    I want to eventually set up 2 ATVs both reading the media on the TC to stream. From the looks of things now, I wont be able to stream 2 at the same time, and definately not while playing online.
    I know there are a lot of threads out there about iTunes and wht not, i've read them and did my best... but i'm not a pro at networking. Not sure if I have settings wrong, or can improve something, or if i have just bad luck
    Any and all info, with the Idiots Guid explanation, is appreciated
    Thanks

    Update .... fixed this problem. 3 words:
    LINE OF SIGHT
    I had full signal on both my Laptop and my ATV before the fix. I figured with my tiny 900 sq foot home with the TC no more than 30 feet unobstructed from the ATV and Laptop that I would be fine since the signal was full.
    However, on a whim i moved the LAPTOP into the room with the TC and streamed to the ATV... and it worked FLAWLESSLY. I then logged on my online game, and it still worked flawlessly. I then opened Ventrillo (basically VOIP program to chat w people) ands till streamed flawlessly. I then opened up Adium and loaded Yahoo/AIM and it was still streaming fine.
    I then moved the laptop back into the next room, and it instantly hung.
    So i picked up the Time Capsule that was on a desk next to a wooden box that i use to store CDs in, and put it on top of the box. I then reloaded everything and streamed with laptop back int he next room and it was perfect. I was able to have all the above open AND surf the web (so we are not talking a DECENT amount of traffic on the same laptop that streams the movie to the ATV) and it was fine. I did notice a 1-2 second video hitch (not audio and no rebuffering) whenever I opened a website that had more than 40 photos on it or any video... i guess that coupled with the game, VOIP and IM software was too much traffic.
    So, I am happy to annouce that i have no problems streaming itunes or streaming movies from the time capsule to my apple tv. i am so happy. I was prepared to go and buy a mac mini and wire that and the apple tv to the tc. Instead, I am probably going to buy a second ATV for the bedroom.

  • Apple Airport(Extreme), time capsule, what is better?

    I am slightly confused what is the difference between the time capsule and airport and different model, etc. I have Apple TV and an IPad so what benefit can I gain from getting either of these product what features do each posses and what requirements do they need to work?

    Please look over a comparison of the Apple routers here:
