Time Capsule and Cisco router

Will Time Capsule work with a Cisco Router E4200 that is connected to a Worldbook NAS?
I do not need it to serve as a router, only a sytematic backup solution fro all of our Macs in the network.  We use the NAS as a company client File store and share internally to our staff.

The TC can be bridged and plonked into the network with no problems.
Decide how you will treat wireless.. you can handle it several different ways.. but completely off might be best. Or if you are buying a new AC model, then turn off the wireless in the E4200 and see if the TC works better.
Or if you have some ethernet cabling.. place the TC in wireless dark area and set it up in roaming profile.
That means you set the same SSID=Wireless name. Same Security WPA2 AES = WPA2 Personal. Same password. But lock channels on both devices.. make sure each is as far apart as possible.. so for example for 2.4ghz wireless set one to channel 1 and the other to channel 11. For 5ghz similarly set them sufficiently far apart that there can be no overlap.

  • Time Capsule and Linksys Router Issues

    The internet cable is connected to the WAN port and the Time Capsule is connected is to one of the ports of the Linksys router. I can successfully backup my MacPro and use the internet for Mail and Safari.
    I want to take advantage of the high speed ethernet performance of Time Capsule. However, I don't know if the Time Capsule is really faster than my Linksys router.  Where do I get this information? I suspect the Time Capsule is much faster because I just purchased the Time Capsule. The router is at least 5 years old.
    In spite my concern about the speeds of the Time Capsule and Linksys router, I tried to attach the Time capsule as recommended by Apple for a  "first time set up." It failed. The Time Capsule using the AirPort Utility cannot make a network connection. I reestablished the devices as given in paragraph one. WiFi runs again.

    Ethernet speed on your local network is determined by the slowest connected device which most likely will be the LinkSys router or your computer.

  • Airport Time capsule behind cisco router download speed

    My airport time capsule  is connected to the internet in bridge mode via a cisco router.
    The cisco router provides a 99Mbps download speed. However, when I " bridge"  my time capsule in between (wired) the speed slows down to 9 Mbps.
    I have already tried to assign a static DHCP IP to my time capsules MAC address and disabled DMZ for that specific IP address, but am failing to get the speed up to par.
    Any suggestions?

    I have used Time capsule 1.5 year behind a copperjet  modem on ADSL, no problems.
    Changed provider and am connected by cable with new cisco modem including router.
    So the set up looks like:
    internet>cisco modem/router>airport time capsule>macbook pro
    The cisco modem without airport time capsule is working ok: when logged in speed is 99 Mbps as it should be (wired and wireless)
    Connecting cisco router with UTP cable to time capsule and time capsule with UTP to macbook slows down speed to 9 Mbps
    (time capsule in bridgemode)
    Specs:
    Macbook pro OSX yosemite
    Airport Time capsule 2TB 2013 (v 7.7.3)

  • Running a network with Time Capsule and Netgear router - is it possible?

    We have an iMac and a Toshiba laptop. I was wondering if it was possible to have a wireless network with a Time Capsule and our Netgear DG834G router. We live in a solid brick house and the Netgear router is upstairs and we find we get very little, if any reception from downstairs. We have just purchased the Time Capsule and we were hoping to move the Netgear downstairs and have the Time Capsule upstairs to get reception all over the house. Is running a network like this possible, and if it is, how do we do it. Both the iMac and the laptop need to be able to connect. Thanks in advance.

  • Slingbox, Time Capsule and Verizon router setup

    So here is my setup:
    Verizon router with wireless ON.  Time capsule set to share an IP address(not in Bridge mode).  This gives me the double NAT error message.
    Sling catcher hooked into the Time capsule on one end and to the Slingbox on the other.
    So, I hooked the slingbox up to the verizon router, configured it.  Then hooked the sling catcher to the TM and ran setup again.  Set up port forwarding per the instructions.  Things seem to work fine, although under the slingbox directory it says that I am not set up for internet viewing.
    However, i CAN connect via wifi and over 3g on my iphone fine.  With WIFI, I am using my Time capule for wireless not the verizon wifi.  The last time I tried to turn off the verizon wifi i don't think the slingbox worked.  The last time I tried to set up the time capule under bridge mode the slingbox did not work.  If I am in bridge mode there is no option to setup port forwarding.
    So I know that my setup is not correct but it is working.  The problem is the speeds.  I have a slingbox pro- getting about 1200-1400 kbs over the internet, and about 500-550 over wifi on the iphone.  I'm getting about 450-550 over 3g on the iphone.  This seems too slow.
    Any suggestions?

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Insure that the setting for Router Mode = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
    Very important......
    Power off both the Verizon modem/router and the Time Capsule
    Wait a minute or two
    Start up the Verizon modem/router first and allow it to run a full minute
    Then start up the Time Capsule

  • Time Capsule and Linksys router bridging two networks

    I have set up a Time Capsule on a small business network and have made use of its dual wifi to set up guest access to the internet separate from our private network. It defaults to IP address 192.168.1.1 which conflicts with a computer that must be assigned that address so I have given it the IP address 192.168.0.1. I was hoping to bridge between the 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x networks using a Linksys BEFSR41 router. I have been able to get internet access from the 192.168.1.x network and port forward to our Windows e-mail server but can't get individual computers to see each other from one network to the other.
    Can I set the Time Capsule IP to anything other than x.x.x.1 or alternately use it or another router to bridge two different networks?

  • Time Capsule as main router? PLEASE HELP!!!

    hi,
    i have had a time capsule for about 6 months and have been using it happily. but what i want to do is use this time capsule to replace my sky router. can you actually do this or am i just dreaming? i have tried and tried to do this but seem to get no where fast can someone spend the time and tell me in lames terms how to do this. or a website as i for some reason cannot do this. am i having wrong cables plugged in at wrong times or what.
    basically what i want to do is use the time machine feature and for it to backup costantly but i dont want my time capsule and my router running at the same time to save electricity can you do this?
    hopefully you get what i mean.
    PLEASE HELP

    This is a question that is asked during setup by AirPort Utility, but it would not apply in your case, since if you "replaced" the gateway you have (which is a combination modem/router...not simply a router....), you would not have any modem functionality. Your Time Capsule  not be able to connect to the Internet.
    It may be confusing because 5-6 years ago, everyone used a separate modem and router to connect to the Internet. Some manufacturers began to build device with both a modem and router in the same box. Sky is one of these manufactuers.
    The Tme Capsule a a router only with a built in hard drive for backups. It does not have a modem built in.
    To connect to the Internet with a Time Capsule, you need a minimum of two devices....a modem and the Time Capsule. Your Sky router is performing the function of a modem for you. If you turn off the Sky device to "save electricity", the Time Capsule will flash amber and you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
    Give it a try if you wish. You will see that this is true.

  • Time Capsule and SLOW bandwidth with Verizon FIOS?????

    Ok I have had verizon FIOS and my time capsule for almost 3 years. All running latest firmware updates (which might be the problem with the TC). For the last couple years it has been a blazing fast setup and I have a ps3, imac, macbook pro, apple tv, iphone, ipad, etc all hooked up to my network.
    Then 5 days ago I buy a new Imac and the firmware update for the TC. Now the bandwidth in my house has dropped to crap. I have directly connected to the FIOS router with ethernet and its like 20 megs per second down and10 up, but when I connect my time capsule back up and go from there it is like 4 down and 3 up? It was NEVER like this before....any ideas or suggestions?

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    Things were fine before two changes occurred on your network. So, it might be logical to try to isolate one thing or the other to arrive at a possible cause for your network slowdown.
    You need to completely power cycle the entire network after you make any change on a network, whether that be adding a new device (the iMac) or making another change (the firmware update).
    Power everything off...modem, routers, computers, consoles, printers, etc., the order is not important. Wait 5 minutes. Then power up your modem first and let it run for 5 minutes by itself. Power up the next device connected to the modem (probably your Time Capsule) the same way. Power up the next device the same way, etc. until everything is powered back up.
    What are your results?
    If things are still slow, remove one of the things that you changed on your network...the iMac...by powering it off, restarting your network again (the extended power off above is not necessary) and then checking the network again.
    Any change?
    If no change on the iMac test, then the other variable on your network is the firmware update. It's unlikely...+but possible+...that the firmware update changed something in the interaction between your Time Capsule and FIOS router, so something is not functioning quite correctly. Things like this can happen with firmware updates because while Apple knows what works among their own products; they cannot know what works in every instance when another product interfaces with one of of theirs.
    It should be possible to rollback the firmware on your Time Capsule to the previous version if you want to try that approach. There's no guarantee of course, that this will help either. Post back if you want to try this.

  • Time Capsule and time machine with third party router

    Hi,
    This is the first time I use this site.
    I have over three years old Mackbook.
    APP has expired.
    Now I want to know how to set up time capsule in a new environment.
    I moved from Australian and Singapore.
    I was using Time Capsule and Airport Extreme in Australia.
    I have moved to Singapore.
    I am using router provided by Singtell(Singapore Telecommunication). I do not have an Airport Extreme anymore. My housemate and I are using wireless internet-sharing. Needless to say that internet provider is SingTell.
    Now I would like to know how to use time capsule and time machine with the network created with a router provided by SingTell.
    What I did so far is;
    Connected the time capsule to the power point.
    Orange lamp lit and flashed for a few second and stop. Orange lamp stayed on.
    Apple Utility does not recognise Time Capsule.
    I prefer to use it wirelessly.
    There are only two USB cable ports installed.
    One is used to synchronize iPhone.
    Other is used for a printer.
    but if it is not possible, wired would be OK.

    I hope that someone able to give me an answer for this.
    Cheers,

    In this case the apple support people reveal a truly poor understanding.
    You must bridge something.. you either bridge the TC.. which 90% of people do.. or you bridge the dsl router.. which some people do manage to do.. You will have to look that up for your modem and check with verizon if they support pppoe authentication.
    IMHO just bridge the TC as you were told not to do.. as they are simply wrong about that.
    If you already tried this and it didn't work.. try again.. it is the correct approach.
    You have no choice. But this time let me suggest you do it using the 5.6 airport utility.. as the apple toyland v6 airport utility is likely half your trouble.
    So here is how to get the utility into your computer.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
    For screen shots see this post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4668746?tstart=0
    Then open the manual setup on the 5.6 utility.. go to internet tab. Connection sharing.. off bridged mode.
    Select this and update..
    Then all your IP addresses will be wrong.. I suspect this is where things are going wrong.. and messing you up.
    Once the TC is bridged.. turn off everything and restart.. in correct order.. modem.. TC.. client computers etc. 2min gap between each.

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • I just moved and wireless internet is now provided for me. I am not using my Time Capsule as a router anymore but can I still use it as my storage device wirelessly?  So far I cannot get it to work. Please help.

    Hi,
    I just moved to a new place.  I used to have my own internet setup and used my Airport Time Capsule as my router.  Now that I don't need to use it as a router I would still like to use it as a storage device for my pictures.  Can I still do that wirelessly or do I have to plug it into my computer?  And if I do (which would really be crumby) do I just use a USB cable?
    Please help.  I have a lot of work stored on it and I am feeling pretty stuck at the moment.
    Thank you,
    Charlie

    You can use your Time Capsule in your new network in a number of ways. One would be as a NAS device which I believe you are looking to do.
    To do so, you would connect the TC to the new router by Ethernet. You would also want to reconfigure the TC as a bridge and disable its wireless radios.
    You can do both of these using the AirPort Utility, as follows:
    Run the AirPort Utility.
    Select the TC, and then, select Edit.
    Select the Network tab.
    Change Router Mode to: Off (Bridge Mode)
    Select the Wireless tab.
    Change Network Mode to: Off
    Select Update and allow the TC to restart.

  • I bought 2 mac book pros and have time capsule connected to router. Both computers can see time capsule but i can not see other computers.

    I bought 2 mac book pros. At home i already had a network with a timecapsule connected to a router and a windows xp lap top connected to it. When i turned both macs on i was able to see the time capsule and the windows xp computer HOWEVER neither mac could see each other......any help would be appreciated.
    Nick

    Thanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick

  • I have a 2T apple time capsule and router. I bought a Hauppauge WinTV extender which allows regular TV to be broadcasted on a PC. The program allows streaming to a Mac or iPad, iPhone, etc. I need to open a port on the router to allow this to work.

    I have a 2T apple time capsule and router. I bought a Hauppauge Win TV extender which allows TV to be broadcasted on a PC. The program allows for the TV to be streamed on a Mac, Iphone, Ipad. I need to access the router set up options to open a port on the router to allow this program to stream the TV to the Mac and Iphone. I do not know how to access the apple time capsule router to change the settings to open a port on the router. help please.

    Firstly you do not need to open ports to stream locally.. there is no port block in local LAN.. only WAN to LAN. So there is a good chance it is not needed at all..
    Opening ports on the TC I strongly recommend a v5 airport utility.. you can download one for windows if you don't have a Mac.. iOS version of the utility I am not sure but it will not work to do complex things.
    In the v5 utility go to the NAT area, and click on port mappings.
    Sorry I don't have a screen shot at the moment of the actual mapping page.. but simply put the IP of the device you want opened and the port.
    There are plenty of posts with this info if you google.
    But as noted.. this is purely WAN to LAN.. nothing else.

  • Just bought Time Capsule and do not intend to use as a router. Can I use it just as a wireless backup to my Mac?

    Hi all - Just bought Time Capsule and do not intend to use as a router given that my Uverse router works splendidly.  Can I use it just as a wireless backup to my Mac? Sorry if this is a boneheaded question, but this is my first time backing up my machine ( I know, foolish). Thanks!

    Your problem will be if you use wireless for internet then you cannot do both internet and backup at once.. you still should plug the TC into the uverse router and set it in bridge mode.. you can setup wireless if you like on the TC and use either TC or uverse but you must work out how to do both at once.
    If you use ethernet on the Mac then wireless to backup is also a bit of an issue.. please ask as I can show you the setup.. or visa versa.. wireless for internet and ethernet for backup..

  • Time Capsule used as router attached to Comcast Modem. wireless stops working. All I have to do is unplug the TC and plug it back in and TC cycles up and have green light as well as the Comcast modem operates correctly. TC 4 yrs old. How do I correct?

    Time Capsule used as router attached to Comcast Modem. Wireless stops working with no light showing and Link indicator on modem off.
    All I have to do is unplug the TC and plug it back in.
    TC cycles up and green light appears as well as the Comcast modem operates correctly.
    TC 4 yrs old. How do I correct?

    I have the latest and greatest Time Capsule and Comcast. Here is the weird thing. If I have one network set up, then occasionally that network will wedge. If I set up a 5GHz and a 2.4GHz network, then one of them (usually the 5GHz) will wedge. I saw this with a previous Time Capsule, Apple said call Comcast. They checked it out and said it was Apple's problem. Apple said maybe you Time Capsule is bad, so I bought a new one. The problem persists.
    Tonight it's not complely wedged, but super slow. The 5GHz network is getting 0.45Mb/s while the 2.4GHz network is getting 17Mb/s. Both are coming in from the same Comcast cable modem. Apparently the Time Capsule treats them as separate.
    Is it the cable modem or the Time Capsule. I am betting on the Time Capsule, since rebooting it fixes the problem. Resetting the cable modem does not.
    Apple is NO HELP at all. They say reset the Time Capsule. Did that fix it? Yes. Problem solved! No, problem not solved. It will happen again in a few hours.
