Time capsule e linea dsl con ethernet?

Come connettere la linea ADSL a time capsule?

Does that in turn suggest that I should connect the Time Capsule directly to Airport Express?
when possible always run ethernet.. it is fast and reliable.. only when there is no other choice use wireless to link routers.. it is always poor.
You can use wireless from laptop to the Express or the TC.. that is fine.. but keep the wireless usage to something close and just once.. no double hop over wireless.
If you have ethernet there, use it.
Simply put the TC in bridge mode.. that is router bridge.
And make sure you are creating a wireless network on the TC.. same name and same security setting and password as the Express.. then the laptop can connect to whichever it is nearest to.
If you need complete diagrams or screenshots just ask.
life is a lot more complicated than it was when I bought my first 128K Mac in 1984.
Not always.. networking with modems and telephone wires was not always fun.. !!
You forget what it was like 30years ago.. !!
I started about that time but could never afford Macs. When I think of all the money I spent on computer gear over the years it is frightening.
Instructions here for roaming network since Apple has none up to date.

  • I have connected a new time capsule to a dsl modem.  It doesnt see the internet. Airport utility says: Disconnected. But it isnt. Internet tab shows PPPoE. Must I enter Account Name or Password? If so, where do I find them? If not, what do I do?

    I have connected a new Time Capsule to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable . The modem is working fine and connected fine. But the Time Capsule doesnt seem to be talking to the modem.  If I click the internet Icon in Airport Utility  it shows Disconnected.If I click the Time Capsule icon and go to the internet tab it shows  Connect using PPPoE. Is that what it should be? In the box below there is place for an account name and password. DO I need to filll these out and if so what do I put there--information about the Time Capsule of informationabout the Modem? And where do I find the information.
    Or am I completely on the wrong track.

    Thanks. The modem is a Speedtouch ST585  v6. How do I know whether it is in adsl bridge?  Also this is a modem-***-router. Does that make a difference?
    If you did not put it in bridge then it is not in bridge..
    Connect a computer directly to the modem.. open the browser to either 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138 (if neither of those work you will have to check the IP address your ISP has set).
    BTW who is your ISP and do they allow PPPoE.. for instance most ISP in UK do not use pppoe so you have no choice but to run the 585 as a router. In which case bridge the TC
    Anyway.. open the setup configuration in the Thomson and select a template that says bridge.. run through the wizard and it will then bridge the modem.
    And I am using Airport Utility 6.0. How do I get the earlier version?
    By reading the site link I just gave you.. downloading the utility and running it on your computer. Or simply google to 5.6 lion airport utility... that is the way I find things when I don't have the link memorised.
    Finally, AIrport Utility shows a number in a red dot next to the time capsule icon, currently 2. What is that for? What does it tell us?
    Firstly download the useful utility.. but the dots tell you something is wrong and preventing the TC from working.. if you open the utility it should tell you what the errors mean.. I cannot tell you what they are, but it is likely to be no internet connection and pppoe has failed.

    Absolutely sure.. There is no connection at all.. reset is only the router side of the TC.
    For the hard disk to be erased you need to access the airport utility disk page.. request erase and confirm the operation.
    2) I can access to time capsule by ethernet but I am not able to input the corret setting by myself
    Thank you again
    I am uncertain why if you have access you cannot change settings.. but that is why you reset things so any of those problems should be fixed.
    Here is the Apple info on reset.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
    And here is the quote from the horse's mouth so to speak.
    Factory default reset: Perform this reset if you wish to repurpose the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule and want to remove all personal profiles and settings first. This reset resets the device to its state when you first purchased it. Data stored on internal or external hard drives connected to the device will not be erased. If you choose, you may manually erase the hard drive using AirPort Utility.

  • How to setup TIme capsule with a DSL router step by step?

    Hi All,
    Does anyone know how to conncet Time Capsule set by step through a DSL router?
    I already have a DSL router, but want to connect my time capsule to that router.
    Do i connect it through ethernet?, and is it possible to have my time capsule as a different router at home with a different password than the DSL router?, if so how is that possible?, is going to have the same download/upload speed as the DSL router?
    Please help, thanks

    You simply bridge the TC.
    Plug it by ethernet into the adsl modem router and it will work fine.
    nd is it possible to have my time capsule as a different router at home with a different password than the DSL router?,
    No, the TC will cause trouble if you set it up as a router.. it has to be bridged. You only have a single adsl connection but there are some ISP that allow a secondary pppoe login and some modems that allow it. It is pretty difficult setup. Ask your ISP as there is often a charge that is very high for the second connection. It will still share the same link so there is no improvement in speed, merely two different authentications sharing the same line. The TC can do pppoe client but has nothing very fancy about it.

  • Config Time Capsule with ZyXEL DSL modem/router

    Hello everyone,
    I have been beating my head about this for the last week or so and it had drove me to drink (Really short drive by the way). I have CenturyLink DSL Service with a modem that they provided (ZyXEL PK5000Z), this is a modem/Wi-Fi router. What I am trying to do is have my Time Calsule be the Wi-Fi router so my AirPort Express can extend the network and do what it does to get my devices connected. When ever I have my Time Capsule connected to the modem, it will drop the internet connection within 10 min to 30 min, but when I have the modem wired to my Mac it stays connected for days. I have tried many different configs and putting the Time Capsule in "Bridged" mode with the ethernet cable in both the internet port and LAN port... same problem. If anyone could please help me get this setup, that would be amazing... plus this would save me from having to call the CenturyLink Tech Support line.
    Thanks,
    James

    Strange things happen.. the TC should be fine bridged to the Zyxel.. as long as you turn off wireless in the Zyxel and only use wireless in the TC.. you must create the wireless network.. not join a network.. people try to do both at the same time and end up in a mess.
    Then you can check the extend wireless network in the TC and airport should be able to extend it.
    But I would also add the following.
    Fix radio channels.. if you have difficulties the less auto the better.
    Use SMB names ie short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric for everything but particularly wireless.
    And use a different name for 5ghz.
    Use only WPA2 Personal security.
    If you lay off the grog for a bit it helps keep the mind clear.. to think through the things.. although I do understand the frustration.
    Let me suggest you post all the setup screen shots and that can help us loads to figure out if you are making a mistake.

  • How to access Time Capsule drives behind DSL Router over WAN

    Hello everyone,
    I have an older Time capsule(with USB Drive) connected to my Hitron CGN3 DSL wireless router over ethernet. 
    I have turned off the wireless functionality of the TC since the router seems to be much faster on Speedtest.net. 
    I have my TC and attached USB drive setup to share over WAN but am getting a Double NAT error.
    It doesn't seem like I can turn off NAT on my Router.
    I can't run the TC in bridge mode because it will remove the Share over WAN option for the TC and Drive.
    Is it possible to setup the TC and attached USB drive to the router, without wireless on, so that I can access the TC and drive over the internet?
    Any help would be soooooo apreciated!!!
    Thanks!
    Ian

    Does anyone know why my Time Capsule drive sharing needs to be set to disk password?
    You can set the TC disks to user accounts.. at least you can on older TC with older airport utility.. but there are consequences which you discovered.
    If you set accounts.. you will have major issue with the existing files.. they will all disappear.
    The old v5 utility gives you this warning.. which somehow Apple forgot on new version.
    It actually makes all the present files disappear for all users. The warning just doesn't go far enough. You do this on a blank TC.. and of course the USB drive is just the same.. you cannot use different settings on that to the TC internal drive. So offload all your files.. create accounts on a bare TC.. load the files back into the correct user profiles.
    In the end you probably want more flexibility than a TC is designed for.. buy something designed for remote access.. WD MyCloud.. it is hugely superior.
    Also. . .  I am trying some File manager apps for my iPhone in hopes that i can connect to the same drive with it.  So far no luck with the free versions of FileBrowser Lite or File Explorer Free.
    Most are SMB based.. not AFP.. Apple offer only two protocols.. SMB and AFP. But no responsible ISP allows SMB over the internet. The flood of files from hacked windows machines would bring the internet to a grinding halt.
    People do get around it.. you can use filebrowser for instance by opening SMB to the outside world on a non-standard port.
    See http://www.stratospherix.com/support/gsw_timecapsule.php?page=6remote
    But this is incredibly risky.. there is very poor security and it is not a great idea. The AFP security is much better than SMB.
    If you want security use something other than TC.. any real NAS that offers VPN access for instance. The cost of a WD MyCloud is very reasonable when you look at the flexibility of the design. But any decent NAS will offer real remote access.. not Apple's limited pretend version.

  • Time capsule funziona in 3g con una sim dati?

    Buon giorno a tutti,io abito in una zona non coperta da DSL, quindi per poter navigare uso un ruter con una SIM dati wind,in una sola zona della mia abitazione si riesce a navigare discretamente.
    Vorrei sapere se con il TIME CAPSULE si riesce ad espandere il segnale wirless in tutta l'abitazione.

  • Internet Speed Through Time Capsule Much Slower than Direct Ethernet

    My internet download and streaming speed is pitifully slow. I'm connected by an 802.11n wireless network based in my 1TB Time Capsule. I swear it used to be faster, and has been slowing down. When I'm connected directly to my cable modem via ethernet, I'm getting T1 speeds. But through the TC, I'm getting bad DSL speeds. I originally set up my network automatic defaults. I've tried setting static DNS settings (according to a discussion thread that seems to have worked for others), changing airport channels, rebooting, etc., and nothing helps.
    I haven't located much about this problem in other discussions; any threads I have found are mainly unanswered. Am I missing something? Can anyone help?

    That may be due to a weak WiFi signal. To provide a third data point, connect your MacBook Pro to the a LAN port of the Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable, turn off your Mac's AirPort circuitry, and rerun your speed tests. That will allow you to separate the effect of a wireless connection from the effect of the Time Capsule.
    I'd also investigate the signal strength and noise of your wireless connection as described in this post:

  • I am connected to a time capsule both wirelessly and through ethernet...and state of the time capsule is solid green...the internet however doesn't work...The internet works fine when directly connected to my macbook pro but it won't work through the tc

    I have deleted time machine preferences...restarted the modem a bunch of times, restored time capsule to it's original settings...after I first set it up in Airport Ulitity its shows a page quickly that states there is a internet problem, but the page quickly goes away before I can read what it says exaclty and states the internet connection problem is resolved...
    However it's not resolved, I'm also having trouble doing a back up to my time capsule...I recently purchased a new macbook and retrieved/restore what was on the time capsule to the new computer...that worked fine...wireless worked fine...however when I tried to back up the new macbook...it would faii stating that there isn't enough room on the TC to do a back up...
    I didn't end up keeping the new macbook, I was just using it/trying it out while my current macbook pro was being repaired (logic board)
    Ever since I got my current macbook back from repair...my backups have failed due to their not being enough space to perform the back up...in the past the back ups would happen and old back ups would be replaced...
    I think this has to do with my current computer having a new name after the repair..."Adam's macbook pro 2" vs "Adam's macbook pro"
    The internet was working fine wirelessly through the TC a day ago, but it wasn't allowing my other laptop that was connected via ethernet access to the internet...I had a self assigned IP address error then...I don't have that problem now, but it's not transmitting internet at all...even though it's in a solid green state.
    I have no problem completely wiping out my TC including the previous back ups on it...just don't know how to go about it...I have restored it to factory settings a bunch of times and created the network from scratch...just hasn't fixed the issue
    Is there more prefences files I should delete

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • Time Capsule will not recognize physical Ethernet connection

    I recently purchased a Third Generation 2TB Time Capsule (MC343LL/A). Last night, I attempted to utilize the Time Capsule's internal Base Station to create a new wireless network for home usage via both AirPort Utility on my MacBook, and upon failure, additionally with the AirPort Utility app on my iPhone 4 . After using AirPort Utility to initialize the Time Capsule's primary settings, I was then met with an error upon restart of the Time Capsule, stating "Problem 1 of 1: Ethernet Unplugged". Enter the issue, as the Ethernet cable is in fact physically connected to the WAN port on the back of the Time Capsule. Subsequently, this results in the infamous flashing yellow status LED on the unit, and no network creation. Now, if I take that exact Ethernet cable end and plug it into my AirPort Express' (M9470LL/A and MB321LL/A) they recognize it. An older D-Link wireless router that I have kicking around also recognizes said Ethernet cable and connection, as well as both of my MacBooks (MB402*/B), and my Apple TV (Second Generation). I have attempted to both hard reset and soft reset the Time Capsule a myriad of times, and powered my cable modem on and off an equal number of times. All to no avail. And yes, I have tested all of the above with a plethora of different physical cables. Any and all ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    In your normal setup.. is the TC connected via a wall ethernet port directly back to the modem? Have you plugged the TC directly into the modem with a short 1M patch cable?
    We do see occasional instances of gigabit not exchanging auto speed info correctly with fast ethernet. Somewhere you need to be able to lock the speed at one end.. so the auto speed is removed.
    That is not possible in the TC.. perhaps the modem offers some way to lock the speed.
    Putting a switch inbetween is often the way to fix the problem.. which is exactly what you are doing with the dlink router.. they correctly auto-negotiate the speed. Can you please check if the dlink is 10/100 which speed it linked at. If it linked at 10mbit I would say there could be issues with the WAN port of the TC.

  • I am hooking up my new Time Capsule.  Can't get Ethernet to work

    I am trying to hook up the Time Capsule.  I've given up on trying to have it in series with my existing router.  I replaced the existing routher with the TC.  The Wireless seems to work (but one of our phonse wont' hold the connection). BUT, none of the ethernet connections work at all.  I have cycled everything through the whole power down/restart cycle and no devices (including my MAC (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50)) can connect.  I checked the physical cable and it works (ie, I can connect a laptop to the existing router through the same cable).
    I should mention that even with the "old" set up my MAC would not connect to the router via the ethernet cable.  I know that MAC wants to run wirelessly but I have very easy access to an ethernet connection back to the router and I'd rather it run on this conneciton.  I was particularly hopeful for this for the TC since the first wireless back-up is estimated to take about 18 hours.
    Help?

    You asked the question at 4.01pm.
    I answered your query at 4.46pm
    ... and you gave up by 4.58pm when you posted it is now boxed up and going back..(Local time in Australia).
    57min from go to woe! Did you ring apple support??
    Apple is user friendly.. networks are not.. and Apple didn't supply your network, or modem.. so somehow Apple have to insert themselves. and until we have iISP and iMODEM and I guess eventually iROUTER (instead of TC or AEBS) and iTV then you will always have to do something to get it working.
    I am not trying to make light of your frustration as I am sure it is great.. but networks are unfortunately considered easy enough for home user to install without expertise. Whereas for instance a Technician has 2 years training to do it. Some things are too hard for average home user.. and it should be treated as when your washing machine goes bung.. you don't strip it down and replace parts yourself.. you get a washing machine repairer to fix it. Same with computer, no matter how much we are told this is all very simple.. it isn't.

  • Can I connect old Time Capsule to new iMac with Ethernet?

    I recently purchased a new iMac, and I am trying to use a 2008 Time Capsule for back-up.  I successfully used the Time Capsule for back-up with a MacBook for the last four years, but the iMac's Time Machine won't recognize the Time Capsule as a back-up device.  I have the two devices directly connected with an Ethernet cable, and no longer use the Time Capsule for MacBook back-up.  I have rebooted the iMac and Time Capsule multiple times, but the Time Capsule light still flashes amber.  Help?

    Press and hold the reset for 10sec.
    Make sure the ethernet is set to auto and does actually get an IP address from the TC.
    Turn off all other network connections.
    Download and install 5.6 airport utility if you are still on Lion.. it will give you far more useful info and actual tools not toys like the Lion version.

  • New time capsule doesn't work with ethernet

    I'm using a new time capsule,for the first backup I'm trying to use ethernet but loose the data disc when wifi is turned off. The ethernet light is green on the time capsule and the computer ethernet is also giving a green; but no action without wifi; any ideas?

    Please open the network preferences and check that the ethernet has the correct IP from the TC and can get internet as well. Turn on ipv6 as this seems to be an issue in the new version.. it doesn't matter if it is only Mac to TC.. it seems to help.
    If you keep having issues.. reset the TC and make sure it has all naming following SMB type conventions..
    ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    In the finder.. use go, connect to server.. and type in
    SMB://TCname
    Where you replace the TCname with the actual TC name you just gave it.
    Do a reset of TM and try again for location of the backup with the disk which should now be discovered.
    Tell us the point where you have issues if it fails.

  • Time Capsule conflict with college's ethernet settings

    I work/live at a large college campus. I have a registered ethernet jack in my apartment that is registered to my Macbook's ethernet address. I bought the time capsule in hopes I could go wireless in my apartment but was told I'd need to clone my MAC address and that time capsule can't do that. Do I have other options? I'd like to send out a wireless signal so that guests can have internet here and so I can wirelessly connect my Wii and iPod Touch. Thank you for any advice.

    Keith132, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You would need to register the Ethernet MAC address of the WAN port of the Time Capsule with the school.

  • Time Capsule Works Airport, But not ethernet

    Ok, i got a new 1TB TC in the mail earlier today, I started setting it up, And i noticed that it would not work with my mac pro over ethernet. So i was wondering if it had to me setup more. I fire up my macbook and airport utility just like on the mac pro. The macbook sets it up fine that is everything! The internet works on my mac pro, And it even sees a share with the same name as my time capsule,
    It has a computer icon, like another computers share, Also i can't connect to it.
    If i manaually enter the IP address under airport utility It does come up! But from there i can update the settings!
    However i still can't access the share over ethernet, And i can't set time machine to backup

    OK, when you said
    ...but i cant actually use my time capsule for time machine. since it doesnt show in the utility
    what utility did you mean?
