Time Capsule and Linksys AM200

Hi,
I wondered if someone can PLEASE PLEASE help me.
I am trying to setup my TC with my Linksys AM200 and struggling. I have read many posts in other forums that the AM200 should be setup Bridge Only Mode which I have done and set the TC to connect to DSL using PPPoE and although the Status tab says that the DSL connection is up, I still cannot get out to the internet.
I have tried the TC in Ethernet mode and I cannot get the DSL to come up at all. My ISP is expecting a PPPoA connection so I think this might also be an issue.
If I check the TC status page, I notice the IP address is 0.0.0.1, I dont think this is right.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin

I have the same problem with two TC's. When the TC show IP 0.0.0.1 under the PPPoE configuration, although I manage to connect, I cannot use the Internet. I found out (as ISP provider) that the PPPoE client dictate to the server to use 0.0.0.1 as IP, instead of the server giving legitimate IP from his own pool.
The only times I've success is when I tried to connect and the IP address under the PPPoE was blank.
Trying to be in that mode (IP blank) fails and it returns to IP 0.0.0.1 write after the first restart of the TC.

  • 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.

  • Time Capsule and Linksys Buffalo NAS

    I am struggling with my new TC and looking for some pointers.
    What I want to be able to do is have setup my network they way it used to be before my linksys router crapped out... only now with TC I want the added time machine backup capability.
    what I used to have was cable modem>linsys router>linkstation buffalo NAS (ethernet) and (wireless) to airport express (with USB printer and Airtunes speakers)
    I have managed to get all set up EXCEPT the linkstation buffalo.. for some reason simply plugging it into the ethernet jacks on the TC doesn't allow it to show up as a shared drive... and unfortunately there is no way to do a USB to USB on this device because both have the same connector end and I can't find anywhere that this cable exists.
    help?
    Does TC support an additional NAS device in it's network capabilities? I have 'extended the network' and any other preferences through airport setup utility, but to no avail...

    My Xbox 360 can't connect to Time Capsule wirelessly unless I run in 802.11b mode or unless I purchase something like an AirPort Express or similar wireless access point. I use the Linksys as my main router because it has much more configurable options, especially with the DD-WRT firmware, than the Time Capsule does. The Time Capsule is very user friendly but I think it sacrifices a lot of advanced options.

  • Time Capsule and Linksys WVC54GCA Camera needs tweaked.

    I replaced my Linksys wireless router with Time Capsule. Trying to get my WVC54GCA camera back online. I am hard wired from cable modem in basement to Time Capsule which I located in living room then cable back to switch in basement for distribution to network. Using the camera on ethernet cable I can get it to work fine when attached to the switch but not when attached directly to a port on the TC. I run 2 Macs, a PC and Direct TV DVR wired and wireless for Macbook Pro. Everything works fine other than being able to locate the camera where I want it. What setting am I missing? I set the port forwarding and can get in fine via DYNDNS as before.

    Good thoughts. I am using a Netgear Gigabit 8 port auto-sensing switch and it must be sorting things out. The TC is the final piece to making my home network totally gigabit. At this point I think I will pull another ethernet cable from the switch to the area I want to locate the camera.

  • Time capsule and linksys

    I would like to connect my new Time capsule but I don't know how it interact with my actual router (Linksys WRT54G).
    Thanks

    The Time Capsule will work fine if you use an Ethernet cable to connect from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Linksys router to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
    Since the wireless on the Time Capsule is much faster than the Linksys, I would suggest that you turn off the wireless on the Linksys and use the Time Capsule for your wireless needs.
    To do this, open AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Continue to follow the guided setup to "Create a wireless network" and choose the "Bridge Mode" option when it is presented. (AirPort Utility should suggest this setting for you, which is the correct setting)
    Continue following the steps and click Update to save your settings. The Time Capsule will restart in 25-30 seconds.
    No you can lgo on to the new wireless network that you named during the setup.

  • 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?

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

  • 2TB Time Capsule and Time Machine on Snow Leopard 10.6.1 slooooooow

    I have a 2TB Time Capsule on a 100Mps LAN that is shared by my Mac Pro and an iMac G5. No USB devices are connected to the Time Capsule. The Time Capsule and both computers are connected to the LAN through a LinkSys 8-port Cable/Router/DHCP.
    While in Time Machine (about 30 backup folders) looking for a file to restore, it takes 2-5 minutes for Time Machine to change between backups. The time line on the right responds extremely slowly.
    Whether or not the iMac is backing up has no effect.
    Is this normal?
    Thank you,

  • Time Capsule with Linksys E4200

    Hi
    Just bought the 2TB Time Capsule for back-up and wifi router purposes. My current router is the Linksys E4200 and I've also added the Linksys Range Expander given the thick walls in the apartment. Will I be able to add the TC to this network and still get all the benefits of the latest TC or should I be using the TC as my wifi base station (rather than the E4200). I'm wary of having to invest further in range expanders etc if I used only the TC as my wifi router. Please advise the best set-up in this case. Thanks very much.

    If you already have Linksys products providing your wireless network signal, then you would not want to also configure the Time Capsule for wireless.....unless.....you really do need another wireless network, or you want to make use of the 802.11ac capabilities of the product.
    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the E4200 to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule and set up the Time Capsule to "create a wireless network".
    Once you have it set up, you can test out the wireless so see how it peforms but I would be surprised if it has the range of the Linksys 4200 and the Linksys extender(s).
    IF.....you have brand new 802.11ac capable Macs, like the MacBook Air, iMac, or MacBook Pro, you will get a faster signal connecting to the Time Capsule wireless, but the Mac will need to be in close proximity to the Time Capsule for this to work correctly.
    If you decide that you don't need the wireless on the Time Capsule, it will be a simple matter to turn off the wireless function. Then, you can use the Linksys wireless and the Time Capsule will perform as a network backup device.

  • Time Capsule and External HD as Network Attached Storage

    I was wondering if I can
    a. Attached and external hard drive to my Time Capsule and access is wirelessly?
    b. Back up to that external hard drive using Time Machine?
    c. Access that external hard drive and Time Capsule from a remote place off site?
    Thanks

    a. Yes
    b. I think so. But why not just use the TCs hard disk for TM backups?
    c. Apparently so based on these instructions I have found: (Haven't tried it myself)
    In the Finder preferences check the box "show server" to mount to desktop.
    Under Airport Utility:
    Disks - check over wan and check file sharing and write down the ip address
    Under the Finder, use the GO function to find your server ie the hard drive on the TC. In the window provided type afp://ip address then password if applicable. The hard drive should mount and be shown on the desktop.

  • Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
    Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
    Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
    You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you?  If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
    Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
    In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • I recently bought a new iMac as well as a wireless time capsule and have it connected how can I use this external drive as the location to store all my files for iTunes, or is this even possible?

    New iMac user here, I recently bought a new iMac and Time capsule and have the whole network up and running now. I have connected another external HD to the time capsule as well and have a total of 3 TB of storage connected wireless to my new iMac. My question is can I use this location as the default location for iTunes?  I doubt I am gonna run out of room considering the iMac has 1 TB of storage already, but I'd prefer to keep my movies and music off the Mac to keep it running smoothly. If this is possibly, I'd like to do this with iPhoto as well. 

    I would advise against placing your iTunes library on a Time Capsule.
    The Time Capsule is designed as a backup device and not for wireless streaming of video.
    Before you do anything more, can I suggest you put into place a reliable, redundant backup strategy.
    Unless you are prepared to risk loss of your iTunes library due to a hard drive failure, I would not put iTunes on the Time Capsule.
    Leave your iTunes library on your iMac until such time as your internal drive is full. Backup to Time Capsule using Time Machine and create a clone of your internal iMac HD to your external drive.
    That's my 2 cents worth. Others may have a different opinion.

  • 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.

    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.

  • New to time capsule and need help with installing it?

    I just bought a new 3tb time capsule and  also new to apple routers I want to use this as my new wireless router how do I go about switching this out with my router now. Im using a linskys router now nothing special I think its only a 300Mbps the only problem is that we just  had our new house complete and prewired with ethernet connection in every room and a security system that runs off of the router how do I go about switching that set up to the new time capsule? I know if I had to have the company come out to do it they charge a hefty fee which I know its that hard to do the only thing that's stopping me is that set up to the security system I don't want to screw that up???

    Three different aspects
    1. Set the form up to submit the data (XML or FDF), not the full PDF. You can import the data to the PDF on your end.
    2. You can turn on Extended Reader Rights, but then limit the use/users to 500 by the EULA. The applicability of this option depends on your intended application. In a small office, it would be fine. For general web use you would likely exceed the limit and be in violation of the EULA.
    3. There may be an e-mail problem, one reason that e-mail is not recommended for form submission (even if the manual discusses it). Again, in a controlled environment like an office it will probably work fine, but in a web setup it is best to use a web script. There are 2 problems with e-mail that both depend on the client system (YOU have no control, but will be blamed in any case). First, the client machine has to be set up as an active MAPI client. Many folks do not have this on. Second, some e-mail clients treat PDFs like text and the result is a corrupt e-mail submission, even if it makes to you.
    If you have the possibility of web submission, do it. I suggest only having the form data submitted and not the form.

  • I recently purchased a time capsule and thought I would put my itunes on it as an external drive as my mac book air only has 120gb. However I can not be connected to the internet and the TC at the same time in order to download the files to the TC. Help?

    I recently purchased a Time Capsule and put my iTunes library on there so that I wasn't using up my hard drive space. Only 120gb on my mac book air. However when I download songs from iTunes I can not be connected wirelessly to the internet at the same time. Can I hard wire my TC in to my mac so that I can treat the TC as just an external hard drive? Thanks

    Initially, you asked if you can hardwire your MBA to the TC. The answer is yes, by using the optional USB Ethernet adapter that Apple provides. However, in order for your MBA to access the TC's internal or USB-attached HDD, it would need to establish a network connection to it. This would be true of any NAS device on an Ethernet network. Therein, lies the problem. Your MBA cannot connect to two networks simultaneously.
    One option then, would be to have two separate iTunes Media folders; one on the MBA & the other on the TC. This way, you can download the music to your MBA when connected to the Internet at the AirPort lounge, and then use iTunes Consolidate Library feature to transfer the audio files to the TC's iTunes Media Folder location. A great program to help maintain multiple iTunes Librarys and/or Media Folders, that you may want to consider, is PowerTunes.

  • Setting up Air play with new time capsule and newer airport express?

    I just recently purchased a new time capsule, and I'd like to use my current generation airport express to stream music from my apple devices. I just was wondering what I had to do in airport utility to set this up?  I was also wondering how to transition the network over from the old express to the new time capsule as far  software settings go. I really appreciate the help and assistance. Thanks folks. I'm really looking forward to setting up the network for our new iMac.

    Your setup is very easy..
    This is how I would do it.
    Remove the express from the network.. ie just unplug it but do not change anything in it. Keep the configuration as is until the TC is working.
    Power off the cable modem.. this is requirement.. at least 20min is usually needed, dependining on your ISP.
    Go into the airport utility and setup the TC as router for your network .. it is a simple setup.. but I would do as stated.. all short names, no spaces pure alphanumeric rather than accept Apple's names. That is for TC and wireless.
    After 20min power up the cable modem.  Once it is running and you have internet access. you can proceed to setup the express to do the airplay. If the internet still doesn't work, power off the cable modem overnight..
    Do not lose that express setup so if you absolutely have to, you can at any time substitute it back and have internet again.
    So everything is working properly TC in place as full router.. now hard reset the express.. and simply use the airport utility to put it in extend wireless .. or plug in by ethernet if you are going to hard wire it.
    The extend wireless setup is all done straight from the existing setup.
    Now you can plug your express audio port into your speaker.. and setup the airplay via the itunes.
    I will get Bob to give you his way of doing it.. There is no one RIGHT way .. but he can give you more info if you want a particular method.
