Time capsule remote access with verizon Fios router

I got a new 5gen time capsule. I'm trying to remotely access some files I transferred into the TC. The TC is on bridge mode with my Verizon Fios router. Is there a way to access my files remotely if so how do I set up.

The Fios router should offer ddns service from several of the providers.
Typical ones are dyndns and noip
but there are a fair number of them.. just the client has to be included in the firmware of the router.
Static public IP is the best option by far, but most ISP will only offer it with their business plans which are so much more expensive that it is not worth it. Some cable services will not offer it at all as their plans are all domestic.
Anyway the info is a phone call away and see how much extra it costs if it is offered.
Otherwise check the router for what ddns services are supported and join one.. they are free to a few dollars a month for low use service.

How to config Time capsule remote access with Motorola SVG1202 router?

I'm having difficulty trying to congif Time capsule remote acces. I have a router Motorola SVG1202 and Time capsule config to Bridge mode, when I change Time capsule config to "DHCP and NAT", an error of "Double NAT" happens. How to correct this? Tried to search what to do exactly but no luck, appreciate anyone support.

Method 3 will work if you have a modem/router or gateway device, as it appears that the SVG1202 is......with the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode.
The method 3 has some differences from my Airport Utility options (v6.3.2), please if there are any image of the screen options would be helpfull.
You will not be using AirPort Utility to set up port forwarding for the Time Capsule, so as long as you can get the Time Capsule back to Bridge Mode, you should not need any additional help on AirPort Utiltiy 6.3.2.
Basically, all the setup will be on the Motorola device.
The first order of business is that you have a Static Internet IP address from your service provider. It is not practical to consider Method 3 unless you have this in place.
Then, the Motorola must be able to assign a fixed IP address to the Time Capsule on your network......probably something like 192.168.1.4.....for example only.
If the first two conditions can be met, the Motorola still needs to have the capability to set up Port Forwarding. If it does, then you would set up Port 548 for both Private UDP and Private TCP.
Then set up a port number....example 8888.....for Public UDP and Public TCP.
Then, from your Mac, you would click the Finder Go menu and click Connect to Server
Enter the following:
afp://12.345.678.910:8888
The 12.345.679.910 is an example of the IP address that your provider furnished to you for your Internet connection with their service.
Then, click Connect

Time Capsule Remote Access [HELP]

So like the title says I want to have access to my Time Capsule from anywhere.
I'd like someone to post a [HowTo] Step by Step.
I have:
MB Pro with Lion OSX 10.7.4 (Airport Utility 6.1 and 5.6)
TC with FW 7.6.1 (Bridge Mode)
T-Home Speedport W 504V configured as a DSL-Modem
TC is connected to the Speedport.
I've read many things but they make everythin more complicate.
I also tried to activate NAT-PMP with a public IP so that I can Share Disk over WAN, but the program tells me that
DHCP Staraddress and Endaddress are in conflict with my WAN-IP-Address.
So at the moment I'm using the Bridge Mode.
Also iCloud "Back to my Mac" tells me NAT-PMP or UPnP isn't activated on my router.
So please give me some help with this stuff so I can get access from an extern network.
And if I try to do it on Airport Utility 6.1 it tells me Double NAT.
Regards
Khanh Duy

I don't have a howto step by step sorry.. I refuse to use OS with as bad a Networking as Lion.. and no interest in clouds..
You can do this without icloud at all. And it is simple if you have a static public IP address.
Even without static public IP you might do ok with the modem you have.
So let me suggest 3 possibles..
1. If you want to continue down the icloud road.. the issue is upnp .. did you turn on upnp in the modem.. if not do so and try it. TC should be bridged.
Or if you ISP allows pppoe authentication then bridge the modem and use the pppoe client in the TC.. this is a better method as then the TC gets the public IP on its WAN port. You can select to allow disk access from WAN. Although if this is necessary or not from iCloud I have no idea.
2. With a static public ip, simply port forward AFP to the TC ip address. I will not post the details unless you do have a static public IP because most people don't. TC is in bridge.
3. Use dyndns client in the modem.. Here again you will have to check if that facility is in the modem.. again the TC is in bridge.. port forward AFP to the IP of the TC. The router has to control this using a fixed IP to the TC.
In both the case 2 or 3, you access the TC remotely by simply using its IP address or URL. In finder, go, go to server and type in AFP://PublicIPaddress or AFP://TCdyndnsaddress
If you just google for "Time Capsule remote access" there are hundreds and thousands of posts explaining how to do it.. but if you cannot figure out method 2 or 3.. I am happy to give further details.

Help with Time Capsule remote access

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and a Time Capsule. I have registered with a MobileMe account and have specified the details of this in the Advanced section of AirPort utility. However, I don't know what else I need to do to enable me to access the Time Capsule remotely? The Time Capsule is set up on a bridge with my existing router and is performing backups, so I believe that this is working as it should. Any advice would be much appreciated as I'm new to Macs! Many thanks.

Hello morph1977. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I believe the issue is that you have the Time Capsule (TC) behind another router.
I assume that you want to take advantage of BacktoMyMac (BTMM) to access the TC with your MobileMe account ... correct?
If so, two things must be present in order for BTMM to be successful: 1) Routers on both ends of the connection must support either UPnP or NAT-PMP. Note: The AirPort and TC both support NAT-PMP, and 2) The router with the host device you are trying to reach must have a publicly reachable IP address.
BTMM only works with either a public IP address or with automated port mapping via NAT-PMP or UPnP.
Here's roughly how BTMM works:
1. For a computer connected to the Internet via a router that assigns it a network address, BTMM asks the router for configuration information.
2. BTMM sends this information to MobileMe: BTMM tells MobileMe where the computer is located and how to reach it on the network or via the Internet. This information is stored on the MobileMe’s servers.
3. When connecting to a remote computer, your copy of BTMM creates a secure connection with the other computer, using the information about that computer’s
location and configuration stored on MobileMe.
Since the TC is behind another router and configured as a bridge, the only thing that needs to be configured on it is to identify the MobileMe account(s) that will access it using the AirPort Utility. The key would be to make sure that existing router has either NAT-PMP or UPnP enabled.

Can't get Time Capsule to access internet through 2wire router / modem with AT

I have internet service provided by AT&T Uverse. AT&T provides a 2 wire combination modem / router. My Time Capsule will connect to my internal network but will not connect to the internet. I have a steady green indicator light on the Time Capsule. Can anyone offer any assistance?

Time Capsule & AT&T 2Wire Gateway Model: 3800HGV-B
Instructions on connecting your Time Capsule to an AT&T 2Wire Modem Model: 3800HGV-B. I do know if these instructions will work for other models. Some 2Wire models require it to be set in “Bridge-Mode” or a “Router-Behind-Router”. The 3800HGV-B model does not have the ability to be put into “Bridge-Mode”. After hours of frustrating tech support calls, mine is finally working, so I thought I would share what worked for me. Why something like this isn’t already posted, I have no idea? Although I may not have all the terms correct, I think I can explain it in a way to help others the way I wish someone could have helped me. Something this simple, shouldn’t be so hard.
The Situation
Those with AT&T U-verse are unable to connect their Time Capsule to Network.
The Problem
Apple & AT&T’s Tech Support have failed to provide solutions.
The Solution
To configure the AT&T 2Wire with the Time Capsule the 2Wire must have its router disabled, in addition to disabling both the 2Wire and Time Capsule Firewalls. The goal is to get these two device to play well with each other. The challenge is that the 2Wire Modem is both a router and a modem. The Time Capsule is also a router, so they compete with each other, thus creating the headache many of us have experienced.
Step One: Create a wireless network.
Connect your DSL or cable modem to the Ethernet WAN port on your Time Capsule.
Open Airport Utility, select Time Capsule, and click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions to create your new network.
Once you have finished the above steps, make sure your screens look similar to mine. Once you have the Time Capsule set up according to the directions, you still won’t have internet connection. Be sure there is a “checkmark” next to your new newly created Network.
The Situation
This above process should have set the Time Capsule in a DHCP mode, thus making it ready to receive the signal/ IP address sent by the 2Wire.
Step Two: Allow DMZplus mode
    Open your web browser and enter the address http://192.168.1.254/ This will take you to the 2Wire settings. Select Settings, click Applications, Pinholes, and DMZ. At the bottom of the page, select Allow all applications (DMZplus mode). Click Save.
Note: Once DMZplus mode is selected and you click save, the system will issue a new IP address to the selected computer. The computer must be set to DHCP mode to receive the new IP address from the system, and you must reboot the computer. If you are changing DMZplus mode from one computer to another computer, you must reboot both computers.
The 2Wire Wireless Setting must be disabled. You don’t want the 2Wire to broadcast its wireless signal. You must shut off the “Router” abilities of 2Wire. In the U-verse 2Wire Settings, select the Firewall tab, click Applications, Pinholes and DMZ. At the bottom of the page select the radio button which Allows all applications (DMZplus mode).
You will know when you are successful at shutting the wireless down by selecting the Airport Signal in the upper right of your screen. If you see a network called 2Wirexxx, then your 2Wire is still broadcasting its signal.
The Time Capsule is setup in the DHCP mode, but isn’t able to get the IP Address because there are 2 Firewalls to address. There is the firewall of the 2Wire and one for the Time Capsule.
Step Three: Disable the Firewall.
    One thing all the other tech’s missed, was unchecking the “Enable default host at”. Your screen should look like the below screen shot, because this disables the other Firewall that is giving you trouble. Be sure and Update after you make your changes.
    Once the changes are complete, turn the Airport off. Shut down your computer. Unplug the 2Wire and the Time Capsule and let them sit for 5 min. Next, plug the 2Wire up first and let it begin its reboot process. Then, plug in the Time Capsule and let it start to reboot. Finally, turn on your computer and open Airport Utility.
   Finally, after a complete reboot of the system, try to connect the internet. You should now be capable of opening your system and enjoying your online experience.
I hope this helps!

How to Setup Airport Time Capsule 802.11AC on Verizon fios

I just got an Airport Time Capsule 802.11AC and i would like to set it up on to my existing verizon fios router as you can't change their router as the cable box works with it does anyone know how to do such a thing?

Setup is amazingly quick and easy, assuming that you connect a permanently installed Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> ports on the Fios router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule, and then use AirPort Utility on your Mac or iPhone/iPad for the setup.
We need to know what operating system you are using on your Mac to provide any specific setup details. Or, let us know if you are going to use an iPhone or iPad for the setup.
The Time Capsule will set up another wireless network, so if you do not need two networks, you can turn off the wireless on either the FIos or Time Capsule. If you decide to have two networks, be sure to separate the Fios router and Time Capsule by 5-6 feet or a few meters.....to minimize the chances of wireless interference occurring between the two devices.

Time Capsule remote access fails - Device not listed

I've been able to access my 4th generation time capsule hard disk remotely, but my router settings keep getting reset and I need help with my configuration.
Apparently, the router (xDSL Motorola 7647-47-20SC) is dropping my IP Passthrough settings for the time capsule even though it initially accepted them and remote access was verified. Although I've added the time capsule as a new device using its MAC address, after a few minutes the device is no longer listed and my port forwarding and IP Passthrough settings are lost.
Here's my setup:
xDSL modem configured in DHCP mode. The DNS server is configured to be retrieved automatically. The Time Capsule is directly connected to the router via an ethernet cable and has been added as a device using its MAC Address with the router configured to forward both TCP and UDP port 548 to the device. IP Passthrough has also been enabled for the Time Capsule.
Using AirPort Utility the Time Capsule has been set to bridge mode with Back to My Mac enabled. I tried to configure it in NAT and DHCP mode to enable disk sharing over WAN, but either lost my internet connection or got an error message that my internal DHCP addresses conflicted with the router's (even though they didn't).
I have a domain host name via dyndns.org which is updated with my public IP address.
The first time I set up the router and time capsule and entered the "Connect to Server" address afp://xxxx.dyndns.org:548 a pop-up window asked for my user name and password, after which I was able to see the hard disk remotely. But when I tried again this morning there was no connection to the server. So I checked my router settings again when I got home, and the Time Capsule device was no longer listed! I can access the disk in Finder within my home LAN, so it must be identified somewhere, but my original IP Passthrough and port forwarding settings are no longer available since the time capsule has been dropped from the list of available devices.
Can anyone tell me how to restore this configuration and make it stick? Thanks for your help!

Well, I just perused the Swisscom forums and apparently a firmware update initiated remotely a few weeks ago is causing problems with IP Passthrough functionality on the router. Nothing we can do until a bug fix becomes available from out internet provider.

Time capsule remote access message from airport utility "An error occurred while reading the configuration"

WHEN I TRY TO ACCESS Time capsule remotely, I receive a message from airport utility "An error occurred while reading the configuration." It worked before on the same computer with the same setting. I am in a different country now (Afghanistan). Not sure if that can be an issue.

If the TC is at home and in router mode as the main router of the network, get someone at home to give you the current public IP which will be on the summary page of the airport utility.
With the public IP try and access it by typing the IP directly into finder.. go.. connect to server.
AFP://publicip.
If you have setup WAN access it will. Otherwise no.
For BTMM and iCloud access and its various issues.. this thread may give you some ideas.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3699096?start=0&tstart=0
If the icloud method proves unreliable and you are dependent on access to the TC.. I strongly recommend better and more reliable access methods.. in particular buy a VPN modem or router.. whichever suits your internet type and put the TC in bridge behind it. Direct connect to the TC via the vpn.
You will need either a static public IP which you purchase as an extra from your ISP .. maybe via a business account or setup a dyndns account which are readily available.

Time Capsule remote access disabled with Yosemite?

Hi and tnxs for reading.
After Yosemite installation I am noticing I cannot access my Time Capsule on the internet from the finder anymore.
I see it, but if I click on it I cannot see the content of the HD as it was possible before.
Any advice please?
Tnxs.

So it is still working locally??
The BTMM and iCloud password are correctly set in the TC??
Do you get a public IP via the BTMM which you can use manually in Finder..
Go, Connect to Server.
AFP://PublicIPaddress
Tell us the setup.. even if it was working before you changed to Yosemite it can be tricky if the TC was not actually working as primary router in the network as it really needs to be.

Can I connect my Time Capsule directly to the Verizon FIOS ONT?

Hi
I'm getting rid of Verizon FIOS TV and phone, but keeping FIOS Internet.
My ONT is a TELLABS 612A, the ethernet port is active and connecting to the Verizon router without a problem. The coax is gone -- toast. The Time Capsule is connected to the Verizon router and I'm running my wired and wireless network off the Time Capsule. I want to completely get rid of the Verizon router so that I'm no longer paying a router rental fee.
So I want to either:
1. Connect the TC directly to the ethernet port of the ONT and use the TC as the router.
2. Buy another ac router as a bridge. Obviously this option seems redundant.
I'm interested in the feasibility of option 1 and to hear from people regarding the setup they used.
For option 2 I'm similarly interested in hearing about the setup and replacement router they used.
Many thanks
Simon

Ok.. this is where life gets more difficult.. and you might need a network expert to look at things.
I need numbers and screenshots.. please plug a computer directly into the ONT.. do you get internet on that computer. If so give me the whole network screenshots from the ethernet preferences.. showing me IP, subnet, gateway and DNS.
Then plug in the TC and give me the screenshots from the WAN side of the TC including the same info as above.
Do not blank out anything.. you are on a dynamic IP so it will change when you swap things around.. but I need the exact values to work on.
I can tell you the Time Capsule can have issues with fibre connections. The reason is fairly complex but it has to do with Apple being too purist in their network design.. and the reality being much messier and needing routers to be far more flexible than Apple allows. (The gateway of the connection is not contained in the subnet provided with the IP).
Or does your connection use pppoe? Some fibre connections do and Apple has definite issues with PPPOE.
Anyway some things in the end simply prove too hard.. that is the point of the test.. if it is too hard.. stick to the current setup and live with it.
I have the same issue with ADSL.. every other router works fine.. but I cannot use an apple router as the main network router. It just is a failure on the PPPOE and does not allow sufficient settings to comply with the ISP requirements.

Time Capsule remote access via mobile me

Hi there,
i heard it would be possible to connect to my time capsule even if i am not in my network (at home, in other cities etc) via mobile me service, has anybody experience with this?
I am using mobile me in the trial/test version. Are there more options in the full version?
I need to share data with colleagues in other cities but couldn't find a way to do this so far.
First I tried out a ready nas duo from netgear, a terrible desaster i would not consider to anybody.
Does apple offer any solution without spending more than 500 euro?

This is what I know(and it works) so far.
Using Mobile Me, you must have a Mac to access your TC remotely.
Also, I had to get static IP address(on TC side) to get this to work. I was having trouble using the dynamic address assigned by my ISP. If you get an error message regarding double NAT, chances are you'll need to get a static IP address like I did.
If you get an error message regarding NAT Port Mapping Protocol or UPnP, see 1a. below.
1. On TC, in manual setup, enter your MM username and password in Back to my Mac.
1a. Make sure that you enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol.
2. On your mac, enter your MM username and passeord.
2a. Also, enable Back to my Mac.
2b. Keep an eye out for any error messages.
I hope it helps.

AirPort time capsule, remote access?

I can not acess my AirPort time capsule from outside home network. It works perfectly inside the home network, but is not accessable remotly (From outside my home net) I can see the time capsule as a shared unit in finder, and the cloud is turned on, but I can still not open th disk from outside home. Every unit is up to date!
Can any please help me!

Between the internet modem and APTC there is also a router. (All the items are wired)
I can see the APTC from the outside world, but can not access it.
Use the method of AFP port forwarding.
This is simple.. the TC must be in bridge..
Map port 548 TCP to the TC.. and ensure the TC is static IP so the port forward is always correct.
Then from the other site you simply access it via AFP.. in Finder go, connect to server, type
AFP://PublicIPaddress
Remember the security here is important so use a decent length disk password.

Time capsule remote access from friends computer

Heya guys.
Ive just bought a time capsule and i really like it. It just seems to work!
I have set it up with icloud and back to my mac. Which I am assuming that I will be able to access my time capsule when I am away from my network with my mac? Just spoke to apple support and they said thats not what its for??
But my main question is, is there a way to log into my icloud on a friends computer and see and use the files on my time capsule?
Thanks

Yes, that should be possible.
But there is plenty of slips as they say.

Setting up Time Capsule to Work With Verizon DSL

I am not able to establish a new network using the Time Capsule I just purchased. The funny thing is that the capsule is replacing an Airport Express that works just fine. Same cables, same location, just that the time capsule cannot get an appropriate IP address from the DSL modem. Anyone have any experience in setting up the unit (using Airport Utility) to connect with Verizon?

I realise that, because it's 802.11g the MacBook will not be able to achieve the potential connection speed of the 'N' Time Capsule, however, even if I had the TC, with a G4 PowerBook on the LAN everything would connect at the (lower) 11g speed anyhow, wouldn't it?
As you have already ascertained, any 802.11g device connected to a 802.11n network will only operate at the highest available bandwidth that 802.11g allows ... mainly 54 Mbps. In addition, when even a single 802.11g device connects to a 802.11n network, 802.11n clients will only get about 70% of 802.11n's top bandwidth. To get around this, you can configure a "dual band" network. With this type of network, you can run both "g" and "n" clients on separate network to get the highest bandwidth possible for each. So, in your case, the Time Capsule will run a "n" only network and your AX will provide the "g" only one. The AX would be connected directly to the TC by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge so clients on either network would "see" each other.
