Time Capsule not passing wifi dhcp requests on the b/g network

Here's a weird one. Got two 1GB Time Capsules setup in bridge/extend mode. The Win2003 server is serving up DHCP on capsule 1 and I have wifi devices on capsule 2. Both laptops are using the N wifi spec and are getting an IP address from the Win2003 dhcp server. However, the iPhone is on the b/g network and it cannot get a dhcp request. I haven't tried the b/g network on capsule 1 yet but will. Has anyone seen this behaviour before? Would be annoying if I have to setup a 2nd dhcp server on the capsule 2 system. Essentially one capsule is in my basement and the other in my office upstairs. Any ideas?
Thanks, Joe

The reason you see conflicting conclusions is because we have to speculate about a lot of the details since Apple has not yet posted detailed specs, a user manual, or application tips.
Most of us are assuming the the wireless networking features of the Time Capsule will be similar if not identical to the existing Airport Extreme N base station. If that assumption is correct, your questions would be answered as follows:
1. yes, the TC could be used as an access point. It would have to be configured as a remote base station in a wireless distribution system (WDS).
2. and 3. yes, other clients on the network would be able to access the TC hard drive and printer
4. you could set things up the other way around - TC as the base station, and the older Airport Extreme as the remote base station.
5. for 802.11g connections, the older base station and its external antenna should give the older base station better range than the TC since power output for both models at the 802.11g standard should be similar.

Airport Time Capsule causing Dropping Wifi/Internet on other computers on my network

I have 2 gen time capsule thats causing all my other computers in house to loose wifi.
Its running the latest firmware.
At the moment i leave it unpluged whitch seems to work,but really would love to have it up and running.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do a factory reset..
When you do the setup again, change all the names in the TC to short, 2-20 characters with no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
That does mean setting up wireless again on each device but that is one of the things that can help.
Make sure you use WPA2 Personal security with password of 8-20 characters.. more if you are paranoid type.
Again mix of upper and lower case and numbers but stick to pure alphanumeric.
If the clients still do the same thing, change the wireless to fixed channels.
Please also test by using a computer via ethenret to see that the TC is still actually working and it is only wireless that is affected.
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.

One Time Capsule & Two Airport Express for Range Extension but will my time capsule hard drive be accessible to all the user on network ?

I am planning to buy 2TB time capsule which is [2TB hard drive + Airport Extreme] and two Airport Express to extend the range of my wifi network. we have a large family & because of that we have 1 macbook, 2 laptops , 2 desktops, 4 iphones, 2 ipads, 3 android phones, 2 apple tvs, 2 ps3's. all of these devices are on my Wifi network but some of them are off usually ps3, apple tv and desktops computers r off but still their is alot of traffic. Now i am buying this 2TB time capsule instead of Airport Extreme so that i can save money by getting 2TB hard drive for me only & not the whole family so i want to know if i can keep the hard drive private & at the same time i want to share my internet connection with all of these devices which belongs to my family members, will this be okay ? and they wont be able to access my hard drive ? & will i be able to access my hard drive if i m connected to any of those two airport express & not the main time capsule. indirectly i will be connected to time capsule by using airport expresses in client mode correct me if i am wrong

You can use TC with whatever wireless you currently have.. if it works you should not need to buy a pair of express as well. The best method is to bridge the TC and plug it into the main router.
You can certainly keep it private for your own access only.. simply set a disk password only you know. Easy.
As long as you have a single network, then wherever you connect in the network will be able to access the TC.. but also note file speeds to the TC with multiple wireless hops will be terrible slow.
Also note all security on the TC is an illusion. It is a home device.. press reset and anybody can then access it. You can even get past disk password. If you want security keep the device off the network.. use an external hard disk plugged directly into the computer.

New Time capsule not connecting to wifi, New Time capsule not connecting to wifi

I just got a 2T time capsule, and it picked it up on the wifi the first time, and I went through and clicked what I wanted for it, but now it's not getting picked up on the wifi. It's about as useful as a brick right now.
I'm on an imac and I just want to use it for backup, and not a router. I want to do half for time machine backup, and then half for movie files to access from the time Capsule on my iMac.

Are you using join a wireless network on the TC?? This is a mess..
Please describe the whole existing networking.. and how you are trying to fit the TC into it.

My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

This can be caused by a number of issues.
Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

DHCP Server is not passing out DHCP Leases

I can't seem to figure out why DHCP server is not passing out DHCP lease a client?
Also I can't seem to figure out why NVI0 interface is UP? I have setup another box similarly and NVI0 is down on that and the DHCP server is working fine on that too. Strange!
I am working on CISCO 881 VPN Router...Please have a look at it and let me know. Thanks
Here is the configuration in the box...

Hi Jennifer,
I have gotten it resolved. Per your suggestion, I have turned on debug ip dhcp events and found that POOL EMPTY message. After little research, I found out that I have made a mistake in my excluded-address range.
I have had it as
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1 192.168.100.101
It should have been
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.101.
It was a typo.
Thank you for the suggestion.

How to setup Time Capsule to use wifi and 2 ethernet ports

Hi, I hope someone can help with this issue as I've been searching for an answer without success. Basically, can a Time Capsule (1st gen) connected to a modem create a wireless network, as well as connect to an ethernet powerline adapter, as well as connect to an iMac by ethernet?
My original setup was as follows:
modem > time capsule (which creates a wireless network) > iMac
I bought an AirPort Express to use in another room. It was extending the TC wifi network, but the speeds weren't great so I've got a pair of powerline ethernet adapters. I wanted to add those into my current setup so that the Express can create a wireless network.
Anyway, before I can get to that stage, I'm having issues with the TC. I want to achieve the setup as follows:
modem > time capsule (which creates a wireless network) > powerline adapter 1 * > powerline adapter 2 > airport express
* But as well as connecting an ethernet cable to powerline adapter 1, also connect one from TC to my iMac.
When I tried connecting an ethernet cable to the TC in my original setup, the iMac lost connection to the internet. I've managed to get the following setup to work:
modem > time capsule (which creates a wireless network) > powerline adapter 1 > powerline adapter 2 > imac
But to achieve the setup I want, would require me to buy another powerline adapter (for the Express), and it seems silly to have to use a powerline adapter for my iMac when it is right next to the TC.
Any help would be appreciated.

modem > time capsule (which creates a wireless network) > powerline adapter 1 * > powerline adapter 2 > airport express

When I tried connecting an ethernet cable to the TC in my original setup, the iMac lost connection to the internet. I've managed to get the following setup to work:
What you are attempting should work fine. The TC should be able to manage multiple ethernet connections as well as the wireless.
Investigate what is happening when you plug ethernet into the TC from the imac.
Please try it.. turn off wireless in the imac to ensure ethernet is the only connection.
But I would recommend you shut off the whole network at that point. Restart everything in order.. modem .. TC.. EOPs.. Express.. clients.. with 2min gap between them.
Now look at the imac and check the network preferences.. did it pick up the correct IP from the TC? It should have router (gateway) and DNS all correct using dhcp.. if not check the connectivity light on the TC.. does it come on when you plug in the ethernet cord?
Open a terminal on the mac and ping the TC address. does it respond?
Give a few screen shots of how the TC is setup.. bridge, router and what IP it is running. Even just the summary page.

Time capsule painfully slow wifi

New time capsule , painfully slow wifi , cisco works lightning fast so the issue is with the TC. Looked at forums and I see it's a common isssue. Any ideas that actually work?

Download the free iStumbler app to examine the strength of your connection.
If it's not good, look for interference with another wireless device, cordless phone, microwave oven, etc. Turn them off temporarily; if you find an offender, move it farther away. See AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference for more.
Try different WIFI channels.

Time Capsule not found ... and yet I know exactly where it is.

I've installed ML on both my MBPro and my iMac, both recent models (late 2010 iMac; late 2011 MBPro). I use my Time Capsule as my WiFi hub as well. Since the upgrade, two things that I know of are not working properly: Time Capsule backups and Home Sharing in iTunes. I'll save the Home Sharing for another thread.
I frequently look up at the menu bar and see an exclamation point in the center of the Time Capsule backup indicator, and when I click on it, I get a message saying that the backup disc can't be found. This will happen throughout the day, and then, though I've done nothing, not even unplugging and re-plugging the router, it'll be back and ready for back up. When I select Back Up Now, it will, but it takes several minutes. The latest 10.8.1 update doesn't even address this.
Any insight from anyone? Does it have to do with 5ghz v.s 2.4ghz? Have my walls gotten thicker in my apartment? And, by the way, the network itself is fine - I never lose connection to the internet, and even when home sharing isn't working, I can still pick up other shared libraries.

I don't know how it got there, but dwarvenhut is correct—it's an extension that doesn't seem to do anything, and it uses a non-existent component (components/f8bd48d8.dll in my case).
To delete it from the extensions list, delete the folder in the Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions directory; mine was called "{39fdc2ab-b323-a8a8-a497-763ced813cae}".

How to put time capsule on new wifi network

Hi. I moved and now my wifi network name and password are different. How do I reconfigure my time capsule so that it's on the new network without losing any of my exsting information on it?

The Time Capsule is designed to function optimally when it connects to a modem/router using a wired Ethernet connection.
Are you planning to try to configure the Time Capsule to connect to your new network wirelessly?
In either case, you must reset the Time Capsule back to factory default settings and then set it up again to connect to the new network.
To do this....
Power off the Time Capsule for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and then keep holding the reset button in for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the Time Capsule
Release the reset button after the hold period, and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Now you can reconfigure the Time Capsule again to connect to the new network....and you can use the same Time Capsule device name and device password that you used before if you wish.
Resetting the Time Capsule only affects the network settings, it will not affect any of the data that you have stored on the Time Capsule hard drive.

How is easy is to setup Time Capsule as a wifi router

How easy is it to setup Time Capsule as a wifi router?

The following would be the basic setup steps for the Time Capsule (TC):
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
o Power-off the Cable modem, TC, & computer(s); Wait at least 30 minutes.
o Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the TC; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
Either connect to the TC's wireless network or, temporarily, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN ports of the TC, and then, using the AirPort Utility in Manual Mode, check these settings:
AirPort - Base Station
o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o Base Station Password: (optional)
o Contact: (optional)
o Location: (optional)
o Set time automatically (optional)
o Time Zone: <select your time zone>
o Status Light: Always On (Default)
o Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port (unchecked)
o Advertise configuration globally using Bonjour (unchecked)
AirPort - Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
o Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o Allow this network to be extended (unchecked)
o Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
o Channel: Automatic
o Wireless Security: None
AirPort - Wireless - Wireless Options
o Region: <select your region>
o Multicast Rate: 2 Mbps
o Transmit Power: 100%
o Create a closed network (unchecked)
o Use interference robustness (unchecked)
Internet - Internet Connection
o Connect Using: Ethernet
o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
o IP Address: <provided by your ISP>
o Subnet Mask: <provided by your ISP>
o Router Address: <provided by your ISP>
o DNS Server(s): <provided by your ISP>
o Domain Name: <provided by your ISP>
o DHCP Client ID: (optional)
o Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
o Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address
Internet - DHCP
o DHCP Range: 10.0 1.x
o DHCP Beginning Address: 10.0.1.2
o DHCP Ending Address: 10.0.1.200
o DHCP Lease: 4 hours
o DHCP Message: (optional)
o LDAP Server: (optional)
o DHCP Reservations: (optional)
Internet - NAT
o Enable default host at: (leave blank)
o Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol (checked)
Once you have verified Internet access, I strongly suggest that you use wireless encryption (WPA or WPA2) to secure your network.

Time Capsule not Decreasing in Size

Hi everyone.
I have what seems like a silly question. When my computer is doing backuos to the Time Capsule (over a wifi network), the disk does not appear to be getting smaller in size. What I mean is that the time capsule drive I use is still saying "26.51 GB available." My last backup was a relatively large one (~9 GB). In looking at the Console, and verifying this by entering the Time Machine, all the backups have completed successfully, so I'm not all that concerned about it.
What started this was that I needed space on the drive, so I was fiddling with things, at first moving to another drive, but realized that didn't have enough space on the drive, so I switched back to the old drive, deleting files on the drive (not from Time Machine) that I no longer needed, as they were taking up the most space.
Here's the code from the last 2 backups.

The inside and outside of the sparsebundle are two different things.. when you delete old backups they remove space from inside the sparsebundle but that space is not recovered to the TC.. nor is space used on the TC until the space is used up again inside the sparsebundle.
Pondini has some info about it.

Time Capsule not working as designed sort of

I purchased a Time Capsule a few days from the APPLE Store. I had difficultly setting it up and called APPLE Care. In a short period of time it was up and running. Several days later my nephew noticed that his iMac was no longer connected to the internet. I followed the same sets of instructions and it was connected to the internet. HOWEVER, my older G4 mac used by niece will not acknowledged Time Capsule. In all the windows/menus all the Airport option are GRAYED.
My airport card for my PowerMac G4 733 MHz running 10.4 is a WIFI WIRELESS 802.11b MACINTOSH PCI CARD from AftertheMac. It work fine with APPLE Airport Extreme
My niece is only 5. But my Saturday baby sitter is a teacher by trade and she has children do a lesson on line. So having it function is desirable.
Noppie

There are a couple of different things that this could likely be: a security issue or the wireless configuration of the Time Capsule.
If the 802.11b card is fairly old, it probably only supports WEP for secure wireless access. If Apple Care had you configure the security on the Time Capsule using WPA/WPA2 or WPA2, then the 802.11b card for your niece may not know how to talk to the network. This would require you to reconfigure the Time Capsule to only use WEP security, so that everyone could connect to it.
If the wireless configuration of the Time Capsule is set up to be 802.11n only, this would also prevent your niece's computer from connecting as it wouldn't even see the network. This would also require you to reconfigure the Time Capsule to handle 802.11b/g/n communications and you may still have to change the security to WEP as mentioned above.
Do any of these sound familiar from your work with Apple Care?

Time Capsule not producing wireless signal

We have a time capsule serving as our main wireless for the house and it recently stopped producing a wireless signal and has a solid amber light. I've tried leaving it unplugged and I've tried resetting the device. Neither of those plans had any effect at all. How can I fix this?
I believe my wife bought this in 09 and its got a 2 TB hard drive. Not sure which version that makes this.

Unfortunately, a solid amber is light is not a good sign.
Try a complete Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule using the steps below. This procedure will not affect any of the data that you have stored on the internal hard drive.
Power off the Time Capsule for 15-20 minutes or longer
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule first, and keep holding for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the Time Capsule
Release the reset button after the 9-10 hold period and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
The Time Capsule light should normally stay solid amber for about 30 seconds and then change to a slow, blinking amber light, indicating that the Time Capsule has been reset and it can now be reconfigured.
If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times and the light stays solid amber, unfortunately the hard drive has failed, or there is an internal power supply issue with the Time Capsule.
You should take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store.....if you have one in your area.....or contact Apple Support directly to discuss your options.

If the Time Capsule is out of warranty or not covered by AppleCare, Apple will not offer repairs but there are some shops that specialize in this type of repair. See this link for more details:

Airport time capsule not found error message

HI,
My time capsule is blinking orange.
I open aiport, sometimes airport finds the TC, sometimes not.
When not, get message:
"airport time capsule not found"
When TC is found, aiport utitily shows an error with the extended network I am setting up. I press 'edit', the settings all seem good. Re-type passwords etc and update.
The problem remains.
I have updated the firmware. An apple shop near me has reset TC using the recessed button on back of TC, and then I have re-configured at home.
BTW, TC was working fine in my old house with same laptop, so prob not simply a basic user issue...
4 other devices on my wifi network all have reliable connection, visitors' phones and laptops too, so shouln't be a wifi netowrk issue, ie network outside TC.
Any thoughts out there?
HOpe so!
mana

yes, running airport 6.1, OS 10.7.5
OK.. I failed to ask enough questions.. I think your comment it all used to work threw me.
1. You are trying to extend wireless network of what router. This will only work with another Apple router.. the way apple built it is in the family only. So please spell out what is the primary router??
If you did have it working to extend the wireless of a non-apple router in your previous house I simply don't know how.. according to Apple it isn't possible. You can use WDS.. that is slow and reduces everything to G wireless.. that is the only way.
2. When you say in the first post..
4 other devices on my wifi network all have reliable connection, visitors' phones and laptops too, so shouln't be a wifi netowrk issue, ie network outside TC.
I presume if you turn off the TC, these devices still have wireless network because they are connected to the primary router.. not the TC.. again my bad reading.. I assumed they are connected to the TC.
So please spell out the whole network..
Broadband modem.. type, model, make.
Main router.. type model make
Any other network devices.
And how was it setup in your old place and how is it different now.
