Time Capsule 2tb Upstream Problem

I have a Time Capsule 2TB and when it is connected  to my network in Bridge Mode it hoses my network as it is sending something upstream which casues my network to slow down as it clogs my pipeline.
I have also tried it as a main router from my cable modem a Motorola SB6121 and the same problem.
The upstream problem seems to appear about 30mins after being hooked up and also after a complete reset of my network.
I have reset the time capsule and believe I have all the right settings. Does anyone have any ideas? Do I just need to get rid of this unit?

If you want to use ethernet then you can turn off wireless.. yes.
Just fill me in .. does the cable modem have wireless.. I didn't think it was even a router.. sorry I have not come across that model except in these discussions where they certainly have given people trouble.. that is worth a look btw.. is the modem itself the issue?? ie the combo of the TC and the SB6121.
Did the issue start after a recent firmware update to the TC.. or always been there?
So if I am understanding when the TC unit is doing a Time Machoine backup it slows the internet and network down even in bridge mode?
TM backup can use all the bandwidth.. and the Mac will not give any priority to internet over local network. So yes, TM can cause severe network slowdown.. it is local though.. not internet as such that is the problem.
How many computers do you have connected to the TC and using wireless?? How many doing TM backup?
Remember wireless is a shared media.. it has a max speed of say 60mbps real world.. and however many clients connect all share the bandwidth. So even one computer on the network doing TM and worse 2 at the same time.. will quickly stop network functioning.
So test.. turn off TM in all the computers.. if that doesn't fix it then you need to go deeper into the problem and figure out what is the cause.

  • Airport Time Capsule 2TB - Problem with Backups

    Hello everybody,
    I´m from Germany but I hope you understand my english. I have got a problem with my new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I want to use it as a data storage, where all my pictures and videos are accessible via WIFI.
    Copying the datas was no problem but now I want to make a backup of all the datas. For this purpose i created a RAID 0 out of two 1TB external hard drives. I connected the bay with these two hard drives in it with the Time Capsules USB interface. The problem is that no drives were displayed in the airport-programm ... Also non of my other USB hard drives were found. Only the Time Capsule´s partition "data" got found...
    In the time machine program I can´t see the Time Capsule, so I can´t do a backup on the normal way... Even the "hard drive - program" from OS X didn´t show the Time Capsule.
    It looks like they don´t want to know anything about each other ...
    So, how can I realize to do a backup of the datas saved on my Time Capsule?
    Thank you for your answers and sorry if my english is bad in some cases.

    Ok.. can understand..
    You have two problems.. maybe 3.
    1. Time Machine (TM) does not work on network drives which includes Time Capsule.. so you simply cannot backup your pictures from a TC to a backup location using TM. It only works on locally connected drives.. you can use an alternative software like Carbon Copy Cloner .. I did check superduper but in the past it was not able to backup network source drives. You will need to check if the situation has improved.
    2. The Time Capsule will not accept raid array disks.. it must be a standard hard disk on a USB drive that it has drivers for.. and that is far from every model out there. So not all plain single USB disk works.. almost no array disks work.
    3. Your iphoto library if that is what you mean by pictures should not be on a network drive.. apple says it is going to be corrupted.
    YMMV.. it is dangerous and only a matter of time.. if the pictures and videos are raw from camera that is fine.. it is only the iphoto (or aperture) library that is at risk.

  • 306 Error Printing with Time Capsule 2TB

    I just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule (500GB) to a 4th Generation Time Capsule (2TB).  I have a Canon MP600 printer connected via USB to the Time Capsule.  In my previous setup, this worked flawlessly and other computers on the network could print to this device.  With the new setup, I'm receiving a 306 Error printing to the printer via the new Time Capsule. 
    I have:
    Reset the printer system information.
    Rest the TC to default settings, attached the USB for the printer, and restarted the device.
    Tested the USB direct connection to my printer (works fine).
    I feel like this has to be related to the new TC...wondering if I've got a setting mixed up.
    Any help would be great - I've reviewed most of the postings related to this subject, but this one feels different as it involves an upgrade to new TC and I'm not trying to use a wireless printer. 
    Bryant

    First, restart your MacBook Pro and your Time Capsule. This solves the problem in most of the cases.
    If it doesn't work, see > http://pondini.org/TM/C12.html

  • New Time Capsule 2Tb does not do FULL backup

    I've been using a 500Gb USB drive and decided to upgrade to a Time Capsule 2Tb.
    Installation goes without a problem. Everything the manual says should happen, happens. So far so good.
    Starting Time Machine, I'm asked if I want to replace the previous Time Machine or use both. I select replace.
    Using an ethernet cable to speed the process, Time Machine starts making the initial backup. This should be full.
    However, after it finished - no apparent error messages, Time Machine just closed on its own - I decided to check that some of my most important files had been backed up. I have 3 VMs. Only 1 had been backed up!
    I'm assuming there will be other files that haven't been backed up. But why isn't this a FULL backup??

    It is all the information that was backed up in the first one. After it started backing up after the second time I deleted that .plist file, it only backed up 4MB...it seems to be doing that now.
    Edit: an interesting error seen in the time machine widget is "Could not mount recovery partition"

  • AirPort Time Capsule 2TB doesn't works

    My Airport Time Capsule 2TB has a problem. Today when i came back to my office i found out that my wifi doesn't works. The TC light is green but there is no wifi connection and i can't find my modem via Airport Utilities. If i leave the modem like that, after few minutes the light turns off. I tried reset my TC but doesn't work either. (unplug, press the reset button and re - plug) nothing happens at all, the green light stays on and after few minutes just turn off again!

    It sounds like it is faulty. Is it still in warranty.. take it to apple store for testing / replacement.
    If it is older.. what model is it exactly.. older ones are not repairable in most cases..
    Give us the model, A1xxx from the base.

  • Magicjack plus and Time Capsule 2TB

    I have been using the new MagicJack Plus with my Time Capsule 2TB with no problems for 6 months. Then it stopped working. It can't connect and all that happens is the network light comes on then the telephone light comes on I get a dial tone for a few seconds then the lights go out and the sequence starts all over. I recived a new MagicJack Plus and it did the same thing so MagicJack sent me a third one still the same thing. We tried different power adapters and different ethernet ports but nothing works. I can't seem to find the MAC address or even an IP address for the MagicJack using the Airport Utility 6.3.1 with the latest firmware. I wanted to try to open ports 5060 and 5070 but apparantly you have to assign it to an IP address which I find strange. The MagicJack Plus works fine when attached to a computer via USB. Any help would be appreciated.

    Did you happen to upgrade the firmware? Just then.. as Apple just pushed out 7.6.4.. and that will probably kill it.
    It will work via the Mac because Mac's open ports with NAT-PMP .. a system only Macs have and is apple's replacement to the rest of the world using upnp.
    To figure out the IP of the MagicJack and its MAC address is tricky.. Apple does show that info for wireless but not for wired connections.
    You might find that info will show up in the log of the TC. You will need to use v5 utility to get it.
    But there is a fairly if not exactly straight forward way. (Every device btw should have its MAC address printed on it).
    If the TC is at standard IP, ie 10.0.1.1 it will be very uniform in handing out addresses starting from 2 and up.
    So lets get rid of everything else.. shut down the network.. everything off. .and start up in order..
    Modem ..
    TC..
    Computer..
    MagicJack.
    Nothing else. Leave 2min between each start up.
    You can pretty well guarantee the computer is 10.0.1.2 and the MagicJack is 10.0.1.3
    Ping the IP of the MagicJack in the computer in a terminal..
    ping 10.0.1.3
    Use control C to stop the ping after a few responses.
    Now type the command arp -a
    (On Lion or Mountain Lion it should be the same.. but I am not sure).
    When I type that command all known IP addresses and their MAC address are shown.
    So I plugged my VOIP ATA into the TC.. I know its address.. from elsewhere. I ping it and there it is in the arp table.
    arp -a
    ? (192.168.2.66) at (incomplete) on en1 ifscope [ethernet]
    c470-ip.local (192.168.2.100) at 0:1:e3:77:80:5b on en1 ifscope [ethernet]
    nas-server.local (192.168.2.101) at 0:11:41:30:14:bb on en1 ifscope [ethernet]
    tardis4.local (192.168.2.104) at b8:c7:5d:cf:63:77 on en1 ifscope [ethernet]
    bigpond.local (192.168.2.254) at 0:26:44:a7:4e:be on en1 ifscope [ethernet]
    ? (192.168.2.255) at (incomplete) on en1 ifscope [ethernet
    You have to ping it first otherwise it will not show up.
    c470-ip.local (192.168.2.100) at 0:1:e3:77:80:5b on en1 ifscope [ethernet]
    Then you have the name of the device.. c470-ip.local
    Its IP address. 192.168.2.100
    and the MAC address 0:1:e3:77:80:5b to fix in the TC for port forwarding.
    If you need btw.. 0 is 00 and 1 is 01 just if the full thing is required.
    Bit complicated sorry.. but nothing else comes to mind.
    Unless you have a modem router.. if you have a modem router.. put it in router mode and bridge the TC.. then your problems will go away.

  • Why does wireless on my Time Capsule (2TB, 3rd Gen) drop the wireless network now?

    Starting a couple of weeks ago, my Apple Time Capsule (2TB, 3rd Gen) has been dropping the wireless network almost daily.  I end up pulling the power cord to restart it.  I've had the device for what I think has to be about a year and a half already, and it's been working flawlessly until now.  I have it on 802.11N (dual-band), using WPA2, with an average of about 7-8 client devices at any one time throughout our home.  The problem doesn't appear to be any one client, since all lose connectivity at the very same time.  The Time Capsule LED is still green when it's down, and again restarting it solves the problem.  The device is out in a well ventilated area, and doesn't feel like its overheating.  Devices using Ethernet to connect are unaffected (other than losing visibility to wireless network elements).  It can occurn at any time, day or night, seemingly at random.  The Airport Utilty advises that I have the latest firmware version (7.5.2).
    Anyone have any idea whats going on?  Having similar problems?  Fix, workaround, suggestion?

    Try setting the wireless to manual and fixed channels.. the auto channel swapping does cause issues.. I would also give different names to 2.4ghz and 5ghz so you know clearly which wireless you are connected to.
    But sometimes they do just go bad.. power supply is not robust. They do become unreliable.

  • 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.

    Arguably, they're both right.
    Changing your router changes everything, so your best course of action is to research the respective printer's documentation and determine how to reset them to factory default condition. Then, add them again using System Preferences > Print & Scan.
    For that, I recommend you first "reset the printing system" according to these instructions: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system. Its instructions for Lion are identical to those for Mountain Lion.
    As the article states, it will remove all your existing printers, leaving the Mac's printing system in a similar "factory default" condition ready for you to create a new print queue for each printer, which you should probably do.
    Apple's printing support documents contain a great deal of redundancy, but this one may be a good place to start: OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer to print wirelessly

  • Time Capsule 2TB vs. Netgear WNDR3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless Router

    Hey everyone, I just bought the Time Capsule 2TB since I was running out of space at home and wanted a solution for both PC and MAC machines. Upon installation I learned that the TC can actually be my Wireless Router! Right? For some reason I never knew it could do this - I thought it could just be a wireless harddrive.
    Ok, so I already had a wireless router (the Netgear WNDR3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless Router). So my questions are the following:
    1) Is the TC a completely safe and equal replacement for the Netgear Wireless Router that I have?
    2) Currently the TC is setup as a wireless HD on my network (where the Netgear is the router) and the transfer speeds I am seeing are pretty darn slow! I am assuming it is because the data needs to go from LAPTOP -> Router -> TC. Right? So my question is, if the TC is setup as the actual wireless router, then would the data transfers be faster? Since I would only have to go from LAPTOP -> TC to store the data.
    One more side question regarding the TC and connecting a printer:
    3) If the printer has scanning capabilities, then where does this scanned document file go when the printer is connected to the TC ?
    Thanks for your help!
    John

    John, welcome to the discussions!
    I can provide a few thoughts and hopefully, others will as well.
    "1) Is the TC a completely safe and equal replacement for the Netgear Wireless Router that I have?"
    It appears to offer essentially the same features and performance at a glance. If you are using ethernet devices, the TC has 3 LAN ports, while there are 4 on the Netgear.
    "So my question is, if the TC is setup as the actual wireless router, then would the data transfers be faster?"
    I think it will be about the same. You could of course hook up the TC and try it, but I doubt that you would notice any measurable difference.
    "3) If the printer has scanning capabilities, then where does this scanned document file go when the printer is connected to the TC ?"
    Assuming that your printer is compatible with the TC you will be able to print, but advanced functions such as copying, scanning, maintenance, etc. will not work. You will need to connect your all-in-one directly to your computer if you need these other services.

  • I purchased a new Time Capsule (2TB - 2013), and I would like to use my old Time Capsule to extend the range of my wireless network.

    I purchased a new Time Capsule (2TB - 2013), and I would like to use my old Time Capsule to extend the range of my wireless network. I can't get them to communicate. Any ideas?

    You need to use the airport utility on a computer.
    If you use v6 utility it is fairly easy and straight forward.
    The trick is to place the old TC in the same room as the new one.
    Do a full factory reset and then you can just go through the utility to extend wireless network.
    I did one post with all the pictures.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24161378#24161378
    If you have issues just ask.
    Then you can place the old TC about half way between the new TC and the clients would want to connect.. the half way point is not distance but wireless signal levels.
    You can pick that up by using the wireless diagnostics in a mac laptop and walking around to pick up the signals.
    This is for extend wireless.. if you want roaming network it is entirely different. That means they are plugged together with ethernet.
    Tell us if you mean roaming not wireless extend.

    What IP address does the TC have and what IP does the computer have?
    We need more info as we really have no idea what your network looks like.
    Modem router, model, type of broadband?
    TC setup as bridge or router?
    Is the computer getting internet via the TC?
    Are you using wireless or ethernet?
    Have you set IPv6 correctly to local link in the computer on whichever network client is doing the connection?
    Did this work the first time for backup and has now failed? If so simply reboot the TC. It is a constant bug that the TC is lost to the network.
