Time Capsule as Router via Proxy

Hi all,
Thank you in advance. I recently moved to a new apartment complex that connects each room via proxy.
There is an ethernet cable in each room. IT takes our computers Ethernet ID, puts it in his machine, and then we put the proxy server and port in Firefox to connect to the internet.
I want to use TC as a router in the apartment. I set it up correctly (green light), and I gave the TC Ethernet ID to the IT department. But in Airport Utility I cannot find where I should enter the proxy server for TC.
So, while I can connect to Time Capsule and can backup with Time Machine, I cannot connect to the internet because the proxy server does not go through.
I hope this was clear. Please let me know what else I should tell you.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm facing exactly the same problem. Could you please tell me where you entered the proxy server for the Time Capsule ?
Thanks,

  • How can I access the time capsule hard drive via ethernet?

    I recently bought a new laptop, as my old one was sadly stolen. I'm trying to connect to my backed up time capsule hard drive via ethernet to retrieve my files, but it doesn't seem to work. Oddly enough I have no issues over wifi. When I switch from wifi to ethernet, it gives me an error message stating that the disk was not found in the network. I have a MacBook Air with an ethernet adapter if that makes any difference. I'm also running the latest OS X and firmware. Wifi is simply too slow for this restoration process, so any suggestions?
    Could I possibly connect via USB? What kind of cable would that require? Is the ethernet issue a problem with my settings?
    Help greatly appreciated

    In the Network panel of System Preferences do you have an Ethernet connection item on the left? If not, authenticate if necessary by clicking on the lock, then click the plus sign at the bottom of that column and add an Ethernet item.
    When I switch from wifi to ethernet, it gives me an error message stating that the disk was not found in the network.
    How are you doing that switching? When you switch to Ethernet do you have connectivity to the Internet? If not, do you see a tiny green light on the Time Capsule next to the Ethernet socket you're using?
    Could I possibly connect via USB?
    No.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How to connect to an iMac in a LAN through Time Capsule as router

    SITUATION:
    We have a Time Capsule at work, which we use as a router for a LAN which includes 2 iMacs, 1 PowerBook G4, and an HP Officejet Printer.
    The Time Capsule connects to the internet through Ethernet, via a Static IP address. All the computers connect to the internet wirelessly through the Time Capsule, and the printer is wired to the Time Capsule.
    We are trying to connect remotely to the computers in the office, keeping in mind that the Time Capsule as a router is in the middle.
    SET-UP WORK DONE SO FAR:
    We opened the Airport Utility, selected the Time Capsule, Advanced tab, Port Mapping option and added a device, using the local IP address of the computer we want to make available remotely.
    In the Port Mapping Setup Assistant that comes up, we ran three scenarios: (1) left the Service field without a choice once and then (2) with Apple Remote Desktop and (3) Personal File Sharing.
    In the first scenario, we chose 49999 as Public and Private TCP Ports (we read the figures could be in an approximate range of 42-65k), while we left the UDP Ports fields blank. In the other two scenarios we left untouched both the UDP and TCP Ports that appear as defaults when the Service field is selected.
    We hit the Continue button and the Update button afterwards. The Time Capsule saved the information and restarted.
    In the Sharing preference under System Preferences we chose Remote Management and clicked on the Computer Settings... button. We checked the VNC button and included a password.
    REMOTE ACCESS WORK:
    When we wanted to access the iMac that we just thought we had set up for remote access using a different computer connected to another network, we could not connect.
    We used Chicken of the VNC to try to access the local iMac, using the Time Capsule Static IP address and the VNC password set in the Sharing/Remote Management preference in the iMac. We have been unable to access the local computer connected wirelessly to the Time Capsule so far.
    We get the following message:
    Could not connect to server
    Connection timed out: ()
    Any help out there?

    The TC is not a streaming device.. it is merely a hard disk mounted inside a router.
    That means My Receiver.. whatever that happens to be.. has to be a media device that can play from a network file store.. So there is no settings in Airport utility.. because the TC is too dumb to need to know anything.
    BTW the TC is a bad place to store files, as it has no way to back itself up.

  • How to use Time capsule as Router and link to a Receiver

    Hello
    I'm currently using a Time capsule as WLAN Router. The plan is that I'm attaching My NAS via Ethernet LAN to the Time capsule. Time capsule will be linked via the Ethernet LAN cable to My Receiver so that I can Listen My Music over My home loudspeakers.
    Can anybody Tell me whether described will work? If yes, are there any setitings in the Air Port Utility I have to consider to make everything work?
    Thank you!

  • Can't get time capsule to work via ethernet direct to mac

    Hi All
    I am having trouble setting up my time capsule direct to my mac via ethernet it works fine through my router backs up a treat via ethernet.
    Can anyone help me through the process have looked online but they all set them up through their routers.
    Cheers

    If you reset the Time Capsule by holding in the reset button for 10 seconds and then releasing and allowing it to restart, then you need to connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your wireless router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
    Then configure the Time Capsule to create a new wireless network. You don't have to use this new network....you can use your existing network if you want.
    Then connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.

  • Time Capsule + Cable Router

    Hello,
    I've been experiencing some problems with my Time Capsule in my home network. My problem is:
    I have a Cable Modem/Router that creates a WiFi, with the following settings:
    This cable modem is connected via an ethernet cable to my home Time Capsule's WAN port. My TC was configured to create the same exact WiFi, same safety options but different channel (or roaming, as I've read here and here). Both devices are in the same room, 5-6 inches apart (in case this matters).
    The problem comes when connecting from my phone/ipad to this WiFi near the two devices. I assume it's because the portable device is trying to get an IP from both the Router AND the Time Machine, and ends getting what I've guessed it's a self-assigned IP (169.84.something) that doesn't make the internet work. After 5-10 minutes the mobile device figures things up and suddenly starts working.
    a) This is tedious. It should easily work. I don't know if there's something I'm not configuring right... but roaming should be working.
    b) When trying to change some of the settings in the TC a prompt about "having the right WAN address" popped up. I figured, as the following is one of the screens in the router config:
    I may have to enter this WAN address and subnet mask somewhere in the TC confi.
    c) I am looking forward to solving this because I recently acquired a DLINK AP to amplify the WiFi in my living room and I was hoping to configure it in roaming (same wifi, same pass, different channel) and I would like it to work fine (and not having devices with selfasigned IPs).
    Thanks a lot for your time and help.
    Regards,
    Fernando

    Hello,
    First of all, thanks Bob for your answer.
    I have the TC in "Bridge Mode" (modo puente, in spanish) and the following configuration:
    I think it's the correct config.
    I also think maybe having the WPA OR WPA2 option isn't good, and maybe setting it to either one of the two security options.
    Regarding my software:
    Time Capsule is running firmware version 7.6.4
    On my main Mac (Mac Mini late 2012) I'm running Airport Utility (6.3.1 [631.4]) and OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.5.

  • Time Capsule & Xbox 360 via ethernet

    Hi
    I have a Time Capsule connected to my modem wireless, I can access the internet over WiFi on my mac without issues.
    When I connect my Xbox 360 to the router via ethernet it will not allow me to connect to Xbox live.
    According to some forums people are able to connect their TC with XBOX 360. I can connect to xbox live if I directly plug it into my modem, so it is not anything to do with XBOX itself.
    Does anybody has experience with that stuff?
    Thank you in advance for any help!
    Flo

    Are you sure?
    I am able to connect my XBOX with my wireless router. That works very good.
    But I am not able to realise a connection between my XBOX 360 and my TC. So probably I have to change some configurations on my TC, right? Maybe it is a problem with my IP or DHCP configurations? I have the same problems with my Media Player ASUS O!Play HDP-R1. With wireless router I can connect the media player via ethernet to the internet but it does not work with Time Capsule.
    I am really frustrated. I don't get it.

  • Help connecting 2TB Time Capsule to iMac via ethernet cable only

    I have an iMac running OS X Version 10.9.3, and a 2 TB Time Capsule, which at our last residence I used both as my wireless router and Time Machine backup (via wi-fi).  We recently moved and got Comcast, which provided us with a very, very fast router.  As a result, I would like to start using the Time Capsule only as a Time Machine backup, preferably via an ethernet cable connection.  I tried connecting the Time Capsule to the iMac via an ethernet cable with no joy.  When I did, it seemed to bring back my old wireless network, which I don't want.  Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Is it something specific about the Comcast modem/router that makes it so I have to plug an ethernet cable into it too (as opposed to just running an ethernet cable directly from my iMac to the Time Capsule, which is what I assumed was possible and was hoping to do)?
    Nothing specific about the Comcast modem/router, but definitely something specific about the Time Capsule in that it needs to connect to the Comcast modem/router over a wired connection to allow backups to occur over the Comcast wireless network. As we have said, the Time Capsule must connect to the Comcast modem/router using an Ethernet cable, as you see illustrated in the TC Setup Guide.
    This solution doesn't really work, as our computer/TC is upstairs and the Comcast modem/router is downstairs.
    Ethernet cabling can be run 300+ feet, or about 100 meters with virtually no signal loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule anywhere that you want. My Time Capsule is located in a closet, about 60-70 feet away from the main router.
    is there a way that I can use the TC as an upstairs wifi extender and still do my Time Machine back-ups wirelessly?
    Yes. When the TC connects to the Comcast modem/router using an Ethernet connection, you could use the wireless capability of the TC to create a wireless network with the same wireless network name and password as the Comcast network. Then, you will have the same network upstairs and downstairs with much greater range.
    You will be able to backup to the TC using wireless....or, if you prefer a much faster connection....connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <--> ports on the TC.
    For example, let's say that you are making the first backup from your Mac to the TC when everything on the Mac is copied over to the TC. Typically, this might take 8-10 hours on average using wireless, but Ethernet would require only about 2-3 hours.
    Once you have the first complete backup done, you could then perform subsequent backups over wireless, since these will only take a few minutes each time that the Mac backs up with only the changes that have occurred since the last backup.

  • Time Capsule & Asus Router

    Hey Folks,
    My home network is getting upgrade, in that I have purchased the new Asus router http://promos.asus.com/US/rt-n66u/index.htm and the plan is to stop using the time caspule as router but keep it as my target drive for time machine.  I have unlugged all the network/modem cables and plugged them into the new router, and the network seems to be working fine.  I have plugged the time capsule into the new router via USB 2.0 but it is not being detected.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    The Time Capsule connects to a network using Ethernet or wireless.
    The USB port on the Time Capsule can be used to attach another hard drive, or a printer.
    Ethernet would be your best performance option.
    Connect from a LAN port on your main router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule and be sure that the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode to work correctly on your network.

  • Time Capsule as router slows download speeds

    Hello,
    Over the past couple of months I have been having intermittent internet connection issues where my download speeds slow down from 50mbps+ (Comcast) to under 1mbps, per speedtest.net
    I assumed it was a Comcast issue and contacted their support several times. They sent a technician over who had the line reset and that seemed to fix the problems, but a couple of days later it was back. Contacting support again, they had me test the speeds connected directly to the modem (Motorola Surfboard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0). Connected directly to the modem via Ethernet, I reliably get 50mbps+ download speeds, but using my 4th Gen Time Capsule as a wifi router slows the speeds down to under 1mbps.
    After doing research on these and other forums and finding people with a similar issue, I ran the gamut of potential solutions: changing DNS servers, changing wifi bands and channels (2.4 and 5ghz, all chanels tested), changing Time Capsule firmware versions (7.6.3, 7.6.1, and 7.6 are the only versions available for my 4th Gen TC).
    I eventually tested with an ethernet cable plugged into the Time Capsule and have the same frustrating issue when directly connected to the router, which means the issue is with the Time Capsule functioning as a router but isn't WiFi specific.
    Upload speeds are a consistent 10mbps+ wether I'm connected directly to the modem or using the Time Capsule as a router, even when download speeds are slowed to a crawl.
    I purchased my Time Capsule 1 year and 2 months ago, so I no longer have AppleCare for this purchase. I am out of troubleshooting ideas and am on the cusp of purchasing a second wifi router if I can't find a way to resolve my issue.
    Thanks for your help!

    I can make a couple of suggestions..
    You will need to install 5.6 utility on at least one computer.. if you don't have it available already.
    1. Replace the ethernet patch cable from the modem to the TC.
    2. What I want you to do is lock the speed of the TC WAN port to 100mbit full duplex.
    This is only on the v5 utility.
    Another method of doing the same thing is putting a small switch between the TC and the modem. Fast ethernet type would be best.. that will force the connection down to 100mbit.
    You can also test with half duplex but that would indicate a major problem if it worked.
    3. Make sure ipv6 is local link only.. there is no way to turn it off.
    Having done those things.. I do note the TC lacks diagnostic and control tools in the firmware, to understand the issue. If those steps do not fix it is likely nothing will.
    There is something fundamentally wrong in how the TC is handling routing.. maybe IPv6 getting in the way .. ?? Unfortunately there is simply not enough controls.
    The fact that ethernet is affected in this way (though I would do the test with wireless off.. and ipv6 off in the computer as well).. there is little other choice but to get another router.
    The TC can be relegated to bridged on the new router.. and still function fine for backup and wireless network for your local network.
    If you have applecare on a computer it will still cover the TC.. but I think you may have issues proving the problem.. ie if you take it to apple it will work perfectly.. If you read this forum as I have done.. the SB61xx series modems seem to be a common factor. There is nothing wrong if you test to the modem from the computer but the SB Motorola modem and the TC are incompatible in some way.
    I would like you to report the difference in gateway..
    When you plug a computer directly to the modem..
    Can you please do a copy and paste from Network preferences of the ip and gateway values.
    ie this stuff.
    Then I want you to get the same stuff out of the TC when it connects.
    So we can compare the gateway (Router in applespeak) and if they are different.

  • 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.

  • Problem using Time Capsule as Router

    I just purchased an Airport Time.Capsule.802.11AC 2TB router for my home, which for the last year worked happily with a an inexpensive router.  My home system is reasonably complex, with a guest house with an Airport Express used as an wireless access point, and and Airport used in another part of the house.  Both the Express and Airport extend the network (and have done so in the past).
    Since installing the Time Capsule 2 days ago, I have had no end of problems, first with getting devices to connect wirelessly;  I seem to have (generally) solved this problem by deleting the old wireless details and entering the new wireless access details (even though the access point name and password remains the same).
    Still, problems plague me.   The Airport seems to intermittently report that it cannot extend the network;   internet access speeds are sometimes slow or non existent (last night, download speed was 2MB/S, upload speeds noon existent).   I suspect this must be because of some conflict within my system: I use a cable modem, and right now all wireless clients gain access via DHCP.    
    I've attached my 'settings' for the router.
    Is there a setting which is obviously out of place, or some other idea as to how to debug?  I wonder if the router is using a new wireless protocol what older iPads/laptops/etc cannot speak to as quickly, but dismissed that as somewhat illogical.

    How can I determine if it is a firmware fault?
    Because you test precisely for where the fault is..
    To do that you measure local lan speeds, connectivity and reliability using ethernet and wireless.
    And then do the same with WAN.. you will discover where the problem exists.. if it is wan speed or drop out then you can be very sure it is WAN bugs.
    This is as I stated an issue with the AC model.. and all the firmware seem to be affected but you should be on 7.7.3 as the earlier ones are not secure.
    Why would Apple ever release such a device with a known fault? 
    The following is pure speculation .. and might get deleted.. !!
    Why did apple release a bad update for iphone 6?? Lack of testing.
    http://bgr.com/2014/09/25/iphone-6-and-iphone-6-plus-ios-8-0-2-release/
    Why do they produce phones that bend? Lack of testing.
    http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/25/apple-responds-to-bending-issues/
    This is more typical apple response .. ie in normal usage they are fine. ie it is end users that are at fault. Should not wear tight pants.
    In networking there are huge numbers of products in the marketplace. To get reasonable products to market you need to test vigorously and update continually until you find all the bugs.. Since Apple released the AC model there has been two firmware updates.. one on the day of release.. and one recently with the ssh bug.. (one other was withdrawn after a few days.. as typical it caused more problems than it fixed.. which is lack of testing). For a new leading edge product this is totally inadequate. But I am sure it worked fine on the two different cable modems they tested it on.. and 3 different dsl modems and 2 different fibre setups.. unfortunately there are thousands upon thousands of modems and routers out there. A large beta program is required.. but Apple could not do that as it would be releasing hardware without marketing fanfare.
    I personally have these issues with the Airport Extreme and Time Capsule on my ADSL.. it simply does not work reliably. No other router I have tested fails.  I have tested lots.. but the Apple cannot maintain a pppoe connection to ISP equipment. All other routers can. For some it works perfectly.. for some it doesn't work at all.. for me it drops out at 2min intervals. It is simply unsuited to the task. Find another way to use it .. or return it. Clearly they don't get enough returns to believe the issue is that big.
    In the forum we deal with it every day.. eg today.
    ISP Speed issue after installing TC
    Just do a search for SB6121 or SB6141 which seem particularly prone to the problem.

  • How to set up time capsule with router

    I have a router N 300 and would like to buy time capsule but I did not find any information how to set up bouth devises. Thanks

    You can always bridge the Time Capsule.. it is easy. Once bridged the time capsule will no longer route. All routing is then handled by the original router.. N300 (which could be belkin or netgear and maybe other people call then N300). It will still work as a wireless access point.. unless you turn it off, a switch with WAN now allocated to LAN, and a network drive.
    Just look up bridge.
    But there are other ways to do things. You could replace the N300, unless it is a modem.. in which case you can bridge that and use pppoe client on the TC (if you ISP does pppoe).

Maybe you are looking for
