Time capsule network AND modem possible with maverick?

Hey all. At home I have a small time capsule network at home and use a Huawei modem to connect to the internet. Since the update to mavericks it is impossible to run both at the same time. Now I have to choose between internet connection (Huawei) and my local network (time caps). How can I connect to them both at the same time again? Thanks.

Hi, jackthebulldog. Welcome to the forums!
What happens if you enter 192.0.32.10 into Safari's address bar? Does it still load the Comcast activation page, or does it go to a page with some text about "example.com"?

Time Capsule Network and Comcast

I have a new iMac and Time Capsule. I have plugged my time capsule into a modem, and have set up a wireless network on my iMac. When I attempt to access the internet via Safari, I get a Comcast activation page. I have entered my Comcast account number into the page and get prompted to download Comcast software. I have tried to do this and get an error. Do I need to download the Comcast software? I'd strongly prefer not to download it.

How do I add an airport extreme to existing time capsule network and be able to use the router ethernet ports?

Good day everyone. I recently upgraded my airport extreme network by replacing the base station with a time capsule router. Since I now have an "extra" airport extreme router, I've set it up on the other side of the house to both extend the wireless range as well as use it's LAN ports for a home theater system in that location. Connecting the two routers was done via ethernet. It now appears that I need to do something "else" as the LAN ports on the now relocated airport extreme are nonfunctional. All devices are operating well for wireless and as a review, the modem is connected to the time capsule WAN which is connected to the airport extreme via ethernet cable via LAN to it's WAN port. What do I need to change on configurations to get the LAN ports functioning on the airport extreme? Thank you for any help.

With both base stations interconnected by Ethernet you have the basis for a "roaming" type network. If properly configured, both base stations' Ethernet ports would be enabled for wired clients.
The key configuration items for a roaming network are as follows:
All base stations used must be interconnected by Ethernet.
The "main" base station; the one connected to the Internet modem, must be configured to provide both NAT & DHCP services; all other base stations used must be configured as bridges (NAT & DHCP disabled.)
Each base station must have a unique base station name.
Each base station must use the same wireless security type and password.

Time Capsule network and IOS devices

I have a time capsule set up to run my wireless network. Two iMac computers both see and recognize the network. A PC does not see it. An older Macbook does not see it. Additionally, 2 iPads and 2 iPhones do not see the network and can not join it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

The PC and iOS devices... can fail for a number of reasons.. but this usually fixes it.
1. Change the TC and wireless names to SMB type.. ie so the PC will work. Short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric. I recommend making the 5ghz name different to the 2.4ghz name.
2. Fix the channel used by 2.4ghz.. do not leave it auto.. there are only three channels that do not overlap, 1, 6, 11. Pick one.. if you don't get good signal pick another. I would suggest you start from 11.
3. Use WPA2 Personal security with a 8-12 character passkey. Again pure alphanumeric.
If you still have trouble..give more info about your network..
what broadband type and modem you have?
What mode the TC is in, router or bridge?
Are you testing the iOS devices close up? Do not expect too much range on the TC.

Time Capsule Network and Airport Extreme Configuration

I have a hybrid wireless and wired network in my home. TC is my primary router. I have a switch hanging off of the TC that distributes the ethernet around the home. To extend my wireless reach with an Airport Extreme, can/should I 1) plug the Airport into ethernet at the opposite end of the home, or 2) connect the Airport wirelessly to the TC? What are the implications of both?

The letters (N, B, G) refer to the speed of the wireless network. The higher the letter (N currently) the faster the wireless network. The Airport Extreme & TC's currently sold are the 802.11N version, 802.11 is just a number and refers to a set of standards for wireless local area network. Therefore if you here 802.11 you know they are referring to a wireless network and what ever letter follows (B,G and now N) referrs to the speed of that network. However remember this works at the lowest common denominator. What I mean by that is let's say you have a wireless router (like TC) that works at N speeds and you want it to communicate with a wireless printer but that printer is B speed well your router is going to adjust to the B speed so it can communicate to the printer.
Hope this helps a little.

My computer is macbook white with iOS 10. 6.8, will i able to use the new Airport Time Capsule 2TB and what does it mean administrate the Airport Time Capsule 2TB ?

my computer is macbook white with Mac OS X (10. 6.8), will i able to use the new Airport Time Capsule 2TB and work properly with Time Capsule on my computer to back up wirelessly?
And what does it mean "to administrate" because it was written in requirement of the Airport Time Capsule 2TB ?

You must use a Mac running Lion (10.7.5), Mountain Lion or Mavericks to be able to set up the Time Capsule and make any changes to the settings.
A recent version iPhone or iPad could also be used for this task.
From the Specifications on the Time Capsule:
Setup and Administration
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3

I just purchased a time capsule 1TB and the installation instructions don't really say weather I have to run a ethernet wire from my modem or will simply plugging it in run it....wire or not? sorry folks I'm a bit of a computer illerate

Question Do I have to wire the time capsule to my modem or will it perform wirelessly . I am just using it for everyday backup thanks community

A Time Capsule is a combination wireless router and server grade hard drive. You can get rid of your existing wireless router if you want and replace it with the Time Capsule. This way you can use the same wireless network for your Internet access and for your Time Machine backups done wirelessly in the background via the same wireless network.

Extend present Time Capsule network with an Extreme

I currently have a wireless network in my house using a Time Capsule that is connected to the modem in the office. I bought a Blu-Ray player that is connected to my TV in the living room, and if I plug it directly in to a router using an ethernet cable, I can stream movies to my TV. Sooooo.....I found the old Airport Extreme I used before I bought the Time Capsule, and I would like to use it to extend my network to the living room. I have the Extreme plugged in right now by the BLu-Ray player, and the name I used for the old Extreme network is showing up on my laptop, as well as the new Time Capsule network. The Extreme is blinking amber. What do I need to do to just add this Extreme as an extension of my network so I can connect it to my Bu-Ray via a ethernet. Thanks.

Since you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), you can take advantage of the "extend a network" feature.
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

Advice to extend range from Time Capsule - wireless and ethernet with Airport Express and Airport Extreme

Current wireless network is Time Capsule (connected to a Cisco router, 1GB switch to servers and printer 1) to Airport Express (wireless) and to Airport Extreme (wireless). Distance means poor signal at the Extreme which has 2 printers (ethernet cables) and an iMac (wireless)
Solution is to connect the Extreme to the Time Capsule via Cat 6 ethernet cable
How do I configure the TC and the Extreme?
I will keep the Express for a wireless extension to the TC

Wired Ethernet from the TC to the AirPort Extreme will result in much better performance. It sounds as if you are not configuring the AirPort Extreme correctly.
Please try the following steps carefully:
Unplug the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Exteme if it is not already unplugged. With the AirPort Extreme powered on, hold in the reset button on the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart
Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the Extreme.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on AirPort Extreme.
The example below displays an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme.
AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
Enter a device name that you want to use for the Exterme and click Next
Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures everything for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
That's it. Pretty simple. Things should be working fine now.

Time Capsule Network Freezes and Locks Up

I have been having major streaming issues to my Apple TV for a few months now.
Basically, the streaming performance is poor, and after 20 or 30 minutes, the movie that is playing freezes, then the entire wireless network created by the Time Capsule stops working. Anything hooked up via Ethernet however still does work. Only the Time Capsule Network fails. This happens every time I reboot the Time Capsule. I have also started over and reset the device.
I had Apple replace the Time Capsule (gen I, 500 gig), and had my cable company replace my modem. Neither one of these things solved the problem at all. It is still happening.
I have the cable modem running into the Time Capsule, then the Time Capsule runs into a router that sends wired ethernet through various points in the house (although at this time only 1 compute is still hard wired).
I have no idea what is causing this. Could this be an Apple TV issue? Why would it cause the entire network to crash?

The issue was resolved ages ago but I don't remember how....... sorry.

Using time capsule to share internet connection with a pc via ethernet

Hi,
I've recently acquired a time capsule and was wondering if i could use it to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet to my non-wireless (windows 7) pc?
My current situation is that i have a wireless modem/router that shares my internet connection wirelessly with my mac mini.
I have a pc without a wireless card that i want to connect to the wireless network so i was wondering if it was possible to attach the pc and the time capsule with an ethernet cable, then connect the time capsule to the wireless network and share the internet connection with the pc.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so how?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussion area!
IF...your wireless network is now being created by another Apple "n" router like an AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or Time Capsule, it would be possible to do what you want to do.
But the Time Capsule would not be compatible for what you want if your wireless is created by another manufacturer's router. The Time Capsule could "join" this wireless network so that backups would occur over wireless. However, when the Time Capsule is configured this way, the ethernet ports on the device are not active, so this would not help with the ethernet connection that your computer needs.
A new AirPort Express 802.11n would do what you want. It has the capability of joining virtually any wireless network and the ethernet port can be enabled using the ProxySTA feature, so it would work for your purpose.

How do I connect my Time Capsule on my modem wirelessly?

I already have a modem that I use to access the internet wirelessly on my macbook. Is there a way that I can connect my Time Capsule on this modem without having to use an enthernet cable?
Thanks!

So you are saying that if I use the AirPort Extreme Base Station I would be able to connect my TC wirelessly and expend my wireless signal at home?
No, please see my previous answer.....
and then use it to expand the internet signal.
That is not possible. The Time Capsule could "extend" the signal only if it is provided by another Apple router.
What I did say was.....
When the Time Capsule "joins" a wireless network, it simply connects to the network...like another computer. If you configure the Time Capsule this way, it becomes a wireless hard drive. it performs no routing functions and it will need to be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your main wireless router.
I am not recommending that you set up the Time Capsule this way, but will provide the steps if you want.
So, to clarify....
The Time Capsule can be configured to "join" your existing wireless network. It will not extend or expand the wireless network. The Time Capsule becomes a wireless hard drive in this type of configuration.
I do not recommend this type fo setup for most users because it is difficult to configure and limits backups to wireless only. You will not be able to connect to the Time Capsule using Ethernet to backup, which is much faster than wireless.

Using AirPort Time Capsule as an external drive with access to files by guest account

Is it possible to use my AirPort Time Capsule as an external drive with access to files by a guest account?
I would like to store a large number of folders containg photographs on my AirPort Time Capsule and allow anyone with a password to access the photographs - at the time of viewing the Time Capsule would be connected to the internet but I wouldn't want users to actually access anything other than the files on the Time Capsule - is this possible? if so any help in configuring it would be really helpful.

No it is not possible.. Guest is just that.. a guest that is allowed permission to access the internet but none of the local files.
To give a person access to the TC they must have password to access your normal network..
From there it is up to you how you do this.. people cannot actually access files on your computers unless you give them share and password permissions for that.. you can even setup accounts on the TC although I recommend against it.. if you want shared photos anyway. All security on a TC is illusion.. merely pressing the reset and it is all blown away.. so if you are concerned about security don't put stuff on the TC people should not access.. or like your TM backups ensure they are encrypted.
A person can then access you TC and the photos.. but what else on the network??

Unable to access certain web servers after creating time capsule network

Since creating a home network with Time Capsule, there are certain web sites or servers that I am unable to connect to. The browser attempts to connect, but always gets timed out.
One site, for example is a link from my fantasy football homepage: football30.myfantasyleague.com
I have no trouble with any other site, and am able to get to the address above if I connect my Mac directly with the Cable Modem, thus bypassing the time capsule network. Also, if I use my old wireless router, I am able to access the address without problem. I am also able to ping the address on my time capsule network,
I've tried accessing this site on multiple computers (both mac and pc) through my home network and using multiple browsers (Firefox, Safari, and IE). So the problem must lie with some time capsule setting (some kind of default firewall). However, I cannot find any setting on Time Capsule or Airport utilities where I could make any adjustments or view any prohibited site access.
Does anybody know why this particular site is constantly blocked when I use the Time Capsule as my router?

hamish,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion!
I'm wondering if either or both Airport Utility & Network Prefs have proper DNS server settings. Try this
Launch Airport Utility.
Select TC on left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Internet" from the toolbar above.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
Try putting in these servers from OpenDNS [http://www.opendns.com>
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click "Update".
Your TC will restart with the new settings.
Next, launch System Prefs --> Network Prefs.
Select the service you usually connect with on the left (Airport or Ethernet).
Then click, "Advance..."
Click the "DNS" tab.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
Usually "10.0.1.1" will be listed first in gray. This refers back to the settings in the Airport Utility.
Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to add the DNS servers noted above here as well.
Click "OK" then click "Apply".
Now see if you can access those websites again.
Cheers!
