Time capsule on verizon hot spot

I live in an RV and have the Verizon hot spot and would like to set up the time capsule. Is this possible and if so how?

It is probably not possible.. the TC needs an ethernet connection basically. Although you can join a network it is not without issues. Give it a go.
Go to the wireless setup page and hold down the option key then hit the various wireless options.
Join a wireless network.. and see what happens.. tell us the results.

Using a Time capsule with a hot spot device

Is there a way to us the time capsule with a mobile hot spot device so that the TC is the primary wireless router instead of the hot spot device?

Sorry, but this is not possible unless you have an adapter that will provide an Ethernet signal to the Time Capsule's WAN port.

Time Capsule and Verizon MIFI

I have Verizon MIFI into our home for internet connection. How can I use this with the Apple Time Capsule?
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Check with Verizon for an adapter that would allow the MiFi to connect to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
That is the only way that the Time Capsule can connect.

Time Capsule and Verizon's FIOS Service

I subscribe to Verizon and use their router to access the internet. I am considering purchasing Time Capsule, but am not sure how I should configure it with Verizon's Actiontec router or will Time Capsule replace it? I would appreciate any advice.

You might get more response to your post from the Time Capsule Forum.

MacBook Pro cannot locate Time Capsule on Verizon Wireless Network

Here's what I have: both my MacBook Pro and my Time Capsule are connected to the same wireless network. (I used the "join an existing wireless network" on the Time Capsule.) But when I go to back up, it says the disk is unavailable. And when I open the Airport Utility, I don't see my Time Capsule. Any ideas?

Welcome to the discussions!
It can be a tricky proposition to configure the Time Capsule (TC) to "join" another wireless network because the settings on the TC and network must match exactly.
Try temporarily connecting an ethernet cable from your computer to the one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC to see if that will allow AirPort Utility to "see" the TC.
If this does not work after a few tries, you'll need to "hard reset" the TC by holding in the reset button until the amber light blinks more quickly. Keep holding a few more seconds and then release.
Open AirPort Utility up and it should find the TC. Try the following setup:
Click Manual Setup
Click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to assign a name, device password and adjust Time Zone settings, etc.
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Join a wireless network. If you don't see this choice, hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the selection box
Wireless Network Name = Exact name of your Verizon wireless network
Wireless Security = Exact same setting that your Verizon router is using. This is where almost all "join" errors occur because the settings don't match exactly. Even when they do, there can sometimes be problems.
Wireless Password = Same password as your Verizon wireless network
Verify Password
Click Update. Close AirPort Utility. The TC should restart in 15-20 seconds and you should have a green light. Log onto your Verizon wireless network and you should be able to "see" the TC now. To confirm, open Macintosh HD and look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window.
If the TC is located close to your Verizon router, it is easier (and more reliable) to configure the TC to connect that way, rather than using wireless. You'll still be able to perform backups over your regular Verizon network. Post back if this is an option for you and we can go over this type of setup.

HT1178 Time Capsule and Verizon MiFi?

How do I set up my Time Capsule if the only internet we have is a portable Verizon MiFi?

I believe you cannot. MiFi does not have a USB connection for the external Hartd disc.
You could try to find a wireless Router which has a Lan connection, like this http://www.routeripaddress.com/routers/2012/huawei-d100_default_settings.html

Can I connect my Time Capsule using Verizon FIOS

Can I connect my Time Capsule directly to Verizon FIOS connection?

Suyiitapi wrote:
So I have to use Verizon's router first and cannot go directly into Time Capsule then. Corrrect?
I am not sure we are talking about the same thing..
The FIOS is a full router.
You plug the TC into the FIOS by ethernet.. WAN TC, LAN FIOS.
Then you plug your computer into TC or FIOS.. or you can use TC wireless or FIOS wireless.. both will connect to both TC and internet. But generally for high speed backups, you will be better connecting directly to the TC.. whether by wireless or ethernet.

Time Capsule Blocking Verizon Email

My Time Capsule is blocking Verizon email. The problem is on the wired and wireless connections. It seems clear that the email is getitng through the modem and then getting blocked by the Time Capsule. I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my imac but the problem is also present on my iphone 5 and my macbook air.

To provide a little more info, Verizon is not my internet provider; TWC is. The airport is plugged into a dedicated modem (not a modem/router combo device). The verizon email addresses are the only ones that don't come through.

Use Time Capsule with Verizon ActionTech AGT784WNV

I have recently begun using verizon DSL with an ActionTech AGT784WNV (supplied by verizon.) If I just connected the two devices I got a double NAT error. Initially I tried setting the ActionTech to bridge mode, but could never find clear instructions for that. As I began following other instructions I found a way to set the Time Capsule to bridge only. First disconnect the WAN cable, then open Airport utility and select the time capsule and choose edit. Then under the network tab there is a dropdown box that allows the time capsule to be configured in bridge only mode. Select that and after the time capsule reboots, connect the ethernet from the ActionTech modem.
So far that seems to provide the wireless network I wanted to maintain.
I am not sure there are any disadvantages.
If I discover some problems I will add to this thread, and I am interested if there are other suggestions.

That is the correct method.
If the ActionTech has wireless.. from the model number it does.. WNV .. I am guessing is voip and N wireless but I haven't looked it up.
It is wise to set the TC and Actiontech wireless to mesh correctly. Or turn off the ActionTech and only use the TC.. if you want to use both which is a good plan I would physically space them a few feet apart.. so use say a 10' ethernet patch cord. (even better would be to place the TC in another part of the house with poor wireless but connected back by ethernet).
Set roaming network.. basically the same as the Apple instructions.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260
But in your case.. actiontech is one of the units.
Set same SSID=Wireless Name in TC.
Set same Security.. WPA2 AES = WPA2 Personal
Set same password.. 10-20 characters mix of upper and lower case alphanumerics. (unless you are paranoid)
But they should be on different wireless channels.. if both are set to auto.. it can be confusing .. set one to 11.. the TC say.. and one to 6 or 1.. these are the only non-overlapping channels for 2.4ghz.

Slingbox, Time Capsule and Verizon router setup

So here is my setup:
Verizon router with wireless ON. Time capsule set to share an IP address(not in Bridge mode). This gives me the double NAT error message.
Sling catcher hooked into the Time capsule on one end and to the Slingbox on the other.
So, I hooked the slingbox up to the verizon router, configured it. Then hooked the sling catcher to the TM and ran setup again. Set up port forwarding per the instructions. Things seem to work fine, although under the slingbox directory it says that I am not set up for internet viewing.
However, i CAN connect via wifi and over 3g on my iphone fine. With WIFI, I am using my Time capule for wireless not the verizon wifi. The last time I tried to turn off the verizon wifi i don't think the slingbox worked. The last time I tried to set up the time capule under bridge mode the slingbox did not work. If I am in bridge mode there is no option to setup port forwarding.
So I know that my setup is not correct but it is working. The problem is the speeds. I have a slingbox pro- getting about 1200-1400 kbs over the internet, and about 500-550 over wifi on the iphone. I'm getting about 450-550 over 3g on the iphone. This seems too slow.
Any suggestions?

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
Very important......
Power off both the Verizon modem/router and the Time Capsule
Wait a minute or two
Start up the Verizon modem/router first and allow it to run a full minute
Then start up the Time Capsule

Can't load SSL sites when connected to Verizon Hot Spot

So I'm testing out a Verizon iPhone for my company. Great experience so far; only one dropped phone call!
Recently, when connected to the internet via the phone's hot spot, I'm no longer able to load SSL websites. A good example of this is logging into gMail. Moreover, I can load the Facebook login page, however I cannot complete login and I can't verify any certificates (or force trust or anything). Moreover, my company/personal e-mail won't load either.
Once I try to force the certificate, I'm taken to a Verizon page about enabling the Hot Spot feature (which doesn't make sense, since I can browse other sites just fine and the feature is already being paid for by my company).
Has anyone else experienced this?
The issue persists on all devices (iPad, other iPhones, computer), I've reset network settings, changed my hot spot password, performed a hard reset; nothing seems to work.

Those two are essentially the same owners, same place.

I really think it's something with them, but have you tried tweaking the settings yet on the MBP? Like MTU & such?

Time Capsule and Verizon Fios 9100EM Router

I am looking for fairly detailed instructions on how to turn off the wireless on the verizon router and use the Timecapsule to distribute IP addresses. In other words I want to use my Timecapsule as the main router and connect the verizon box to it as simply the modem. My router from verizon is model 9100EM. I'm not great at this kind of stuff and any help would be great.
Thanks.

Time Capsule and Verizon FIOS

A few years ago my Actiontec router for Verizon FIOS died and they wanted me to pay for another one. Instead of buying a new Actiontec router I bought a Time Capule. I have had no problems until yesterday. My time capsule had a solid amber color and the amber color did not go away no matter what I did. I took ethernet cable from the Time Capsule and plugged it into my iMac and I no problems accessing the internet.
I should not have to set up a PPoE connection because I can remove the ethernet cable from the TC and plug it into my mac directly and access the internet with no problems. (I had Verizon DSL some time ago.)
I went out today an bought a new Time Capsule (4th gen). I came home and plugged the ethernet cable to the WAN Port and turned it on. I ran the airport utility and configured it. The TC rebooted and came up with a green light, but I had a problem. I could not access the internet.
Here are some of my settings taken from the airport utility.
Status: normal
Version 7.5.2
Wireless Mode: create a wireless mode
Allow this network to be extended.
Connect Using: ethernet
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Address: 169.xxx.xxx.xxx ( a real IP Address)
subnet mask: 255.255.255.255
Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
When I look at my network settings when the ethernet cable is plugged directly into my mac, I get these values:
IP Address: 173.xxx.xxx.xxx
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Router: 173.xxx.xxx.xxx
There are DNS entries
I know human error is involved (mine). Did I miss something?

Has anyone hooked up Time Capsule on VERIZON'S FIOS?

I'm thinking of adding a 2 TB Time Capsule as a wireless backup drive, and using it for my wireless 5 gig Communication hub?

Sure.. do a search for FIOS here. lots of posts..
It will be fine in bridge.. plugged into the Fios router.

Setting up a Time Capsule with Verizon Wireless Router

I am trying to set up my TC with a Verizon Wiresless Router. I wish to use the TC's wiresless signal and shut off the Verizon signal (can do). I plugged the TC via ethernet, into port 2 on the verizon router and in the WAN connection on the TC. I am getting a blinking amber light. No idea where to go, I cannot access the TC via my iMac and the ethernet port on the iMac doesn't work (broken since new!) Help much appreciated. I will want to use the TC to back up the iMac and two macbooks. THANK YOU!

Ok, I found the TC on the iMac after restarting the airport utility!
