Time Capsule second Modem connection problem.

I bought my new 2TB Time Capsule, and when I set it up for the first time at my office it worked as it was designed to. But Later I got my time capsule to my home and I am trying to connect it to my home Modem and wifi, The amber light is flashing and I am not able to connect to my Time capsule. I have no idea what to do.
Is there any one Who have a solution for this problem, when connecting to the second modem my Time capsule is not working.
I need help to solve this problem, I want to use the Time capsule at home as well as at office.

This will be next to impossible.. the TC will need a full factory reset to work in your home setup.. It simply remembers too much of the office setup to work in the home. The TC is not made to be transported.. it is a network router.
If you want to use it purely as a backup.. then I recommend you use an apple router like airport extreme at both your work and home location.. then you can use the TC as a simple plug in device.. bridged with no other functionality. It is very expensive though for this job.. an external USB drive plugged into your computer will be faster, cheaper and more reliable.

Time capsule with internet connection problem

I have connected time capsule with my Airtel India Broadband modem. I am not able to access internet. When i see them in Airport utility Time capsule blinks in yellow and internet in stable yellow. Help required!

Open Airport Utility and select the Time Capsule. What does the Status show?
For Airport Utility 5.5.3 and 5.6, open Airport Utility and click Manual Setup. Check the Status.

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again

It says you have the wrong password.

Reset the TC to factory and start again.
But do not be surprised if the v5 utility no longer works to do the setup.

Airport Time Capsule 3 TB has problems staying up on!

Airport Time Capsule 3 TB has problems staying up on! It dies every few hours. The time capsule is connected to Xfinity modem. It is possible that there was not much internet activity. Is there a sleep mode, without wake up !?
Since there is no power on/off switch, I have to pull the power cord and push it back in.
What is going on?

Is it the new AC model??
It is faulty .. return for replacement.. There is several people here with the issue.

Put your experience on the end of that thread.. as the more input the better.
There is a power save but it certainly should not go off.

Wired Time Capsule is loosing connection with my 1 gigabit connected MacPro

I have MacPro connected with my Time Capsule 1TB disk.
MacPro is connected with Cat 6 50 feet cable so a 1 gigabit wired connection.
before i had a Netgear GS 608v2 Switch in between. But I removed that to see if that would solve my issue.
But the issue has now happened 6 times now:
I start to backup and after a while the Time Capsule hard disk disconnects (the internet keeps on working fine) because i have an an audio streaming playing at the same time.
I have MacOS 10.5.2 and everything is updated to latest versions . My Macmini G4 has been copied fine so far. But my MacPro keeps on failing.
In my system.log I get following errors:

Sorry but this doesn't help, because this article is talking about streaming to Airport Airtunes, but my problem is that Time Machine stops backing up after a while because the Time Capsule isn't connected anymore. Because the Time Capsule is disconnected:

Time Capsule losing DSL connection

I have the following problem: my Time Capsule loses internet connection every 2-3 days. It is connected to the internet via D-Link DSL-300G modem, and I have several wireless devices that connect to the TC. I am quite sure that the problem is with the TC and not the modem.
Basically, every 2-3 days, the wireless devices suddenly cannot find any web-sites anymore and just show "Looking for ..." message when trying to load a web-site, but they remain connected to the TC wireless network. The light on the TC remains solid green, and the lights on the modem indicate that everything works properly.
Restarting the TC through the AirPort utility from my laptop does not help. The only thing that works is to disconnect and re-connect back power to the TC.
Before the TC, I was using a Linksys wireless router with the same D-Link modem without any problems.
The TC settings in the AirPort utility are as follows:
Internet Connection
Connect Using: Ethernet
Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
Connection Sharing: Share a Public IP address
TCP/IP
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
NAT
Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol is checked
I appreciate your help.

Welcome to the discussions!
You already have all of the correct configuration settings for the TC, so there are really no other options in this regard.
+I am quite sure that the problem is with the TC and not the modem.+
In that case, you're only option is to try a replacement TC to see if that will perform better for you. Apple may likely ask you to connect your computer directly to the modem for a few days to see if you have any connection difficulties with that type of configuration.
If you do, then the modem may be showing its age or the service providers cabling to your house may need to be repaired or replaced. If the connection remains stable, then you have a strong case to ask for a replacement TC.

External drive conntected to Time Capsule keeps losing connection

I've been having this problem since I bought my TC over one year ago. Other than this everything works fine (aside from the occasional need for a restart).
I have an external 500GB drive attached to my 500GB TC via usb. I use the TC strictly for backups and the other drive to host my media files. When I want to use those files I switch on the drive. Only about half of the time does that work. When it does work everything is fine. I see the drive in the finder as expected.
When it doesn't work, I can see the drive name in the finder. But if I click to go into the folder, I get an error saying that the connection cannot be found.
It shows up in the Airport Utility as normal.
Powering the drive off and on does not help.
Relaunching the finder doesn't help either.
The only way I can connect to the drive again is to either logoff and log back into my mac, or restart the TC.
It seems that my computer is remembering some kind of network disk mounting settings that don't get refreshed when I turn on the drive, but then do get refreshed when I logoff and back in. Does anyone know how I could force that refresh to happen? Has anyone had this problem before?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated
PS all my software and firmware are the latest.
Thanks.

Left click on the Finder icon from the Dock and click "Connect to server...", go to recent server and click on your Airport Time Capsule.
THANK YOU!!!!
This solved it for me!

Time Capsule will not connect to internet through Bell (Canada) router

Help! I cannot be connected to my Time Capusle and still use the interenet! I have a 1st generation Time Capsule and the router supplied by Bell Canada is a 2Wire Gateway. When I first purchased the Time Capsule, the same thing was happening. Internet would work when connected to Bell router but not when trying to go through Time Capsule. I called Apple and was able to recieve telephone support which fixed the problem. That was close to 2 year ago and never had a problem until now. Internet works fine when connecting to only Bell router, Time Machine works fine when computer is connected to Time Capsule.
The only problem is I can't use the interent when connected to Time Capsule (like before). I have tried everything hard wired and wireless. I have tried hard resets. I went to call Apple again but found out it was going to cost me something like $60.

You must bridge the TC.. is the TC in bridge mode.. ??
What OS is running on the comptuer?
In v5 utility go to manual setup.. internet connection.. connection sharing.. off bridge mode.
In v6 utility go to DHCP and NAT page.. select router mode off bridge mode.
Once in bridge the TC should work.. remember the gen1 TC is now at least 1year past its die date.. it will become less and less reliable as time goes on.. no matter what you do.

I want to transfer files from a Win XP PC to a Mac using Time Capsule via Ethernet connection. Is this possible?

I want to transfer files from a Win XP PC to a Mac using Time Capsule via Ethernet connection. Is this possible?

Sure.. the PC connects by SMB.. the Mac connects by AFP or SMB..
But you can simply share SMB directly from the Mac.. there is no need to copy files through the TC. Go to system preference, sharing, and turn on SMB for the folder you want to share files to / from on the Mac.
Make sure you have a common username and password also helps.
If you have a TC already can you copy files to it via the windows machine??

Time Capsule and Ethernet Connection

Switch Time Capsule To Wired Connection
I have a Time Capsule (sometime in 2010) that I use to have wirelessly connected to my iMac (May 11). Recently I connected the iMac via its ethernet port to one of the ethernet ports on the TC. The TC is my LAN wired and wireless router and works great for the Internet. Yes, DHCP is enabled. I have turned on my wifi for the iMAC since I want it only via ethernet.
However, now I do not see the Time Capsule on my desktop anymore.
SInce I previously have configured the Time Capsule to "join a wireless network", do I have to reset everything to get TM to work with TC via wired? Is there a way to do it without resetting TC?
Any help would be great,
Thanks
Brian

If you use wireless to get in, then simply turn off the join a wireless network and go back to the original setup.. but resetting to factory is no big deal .. it will not do anything to your backups.. you will just need to redirect the imac where the backup drive is.

Why won't time capsule and Airport connect to the NBN satellite modem, when a Linksys router does flawlessly?

I've tried using both Airport Express and Time Capsule to connect wirelessly to the NBN "SkyEdgeII modem. In both cases the connection is unreliable, in particular many https pages do not open because safari cannot connect to the server. The crazy thing is that I can connect wirelessly using two different, current model Linksys routers, no problem at all. I have spent many hours with the ISP tech support at Skymesh, making sure that the settings are right, but we continue to have a very flaky performance from both the Airport devices.

Use System Preferences: Network: Show Network Port Configurations, there should be a setting where you can enable and disable individual Network Ports. Make sure that all the ports are disabled, except for Airport, the MacBook might be trying to connect to Ethernet via another port and not using Airport, even though it appears to be connected to linksys.
OS X 10.5 Leopard is organized a little different from OS X 10.4 Tiger, but you should be able to find the place in that System Preferences screen where you can display and change the Network Port Configurations.
You might possibly need to check the wireless router configuration to see how many IP addresses it can assign or if there are some other connection restrictions enabled on the router, for more info see the User Guide

Time Capsule drops Internet connection for 2-5 seconds

Is anyone having an issue with losing internet connection for about 2-5 seconds randomly? Started after I got the Time Capsule. First noticed it when my phone calls would drop for a second(Vonage). Did not think much of it until I noticed it dropping while playing online games?
Any Ideas? I hear it could be the latest firmware upgrade but can’t remember if this happened before.

If your Windows boxes are on the same WiFi network, that could be. I use to work with PC's and Macs combined. Not to bash Windows , but a number of problems we had were always Windows related.
You might try and just unhook your Windows boxes and see if it goes away! LOL

Time Capsule won't connect to Arris Modem?

I'm trying to connect my Time Capsule to an Arris Touchstone Telephony Modem. The modem works with my gf's Belkin router, and I can plug directly into the modem and get Internet access, but my Time Capsule will not work with the modem. The green light comes on, the signal is broadcast, all wireless devices in the house connect to the signal, but nothing connects to the Internet. I've tried the turn the modem off (and take out the battery) trick a dozen times with no luck. Any ideas on what to try next? The two just don't like each other.

Leave the modem off overnight.. with the cable disconnected. But you often need the modem off at least 15min for the dhcp at the ISP to reset. Try for increasingly long times..
You can also ring the ISP and ask them to reset the port because you have changed the router.. they should be prepared to help... Make sure the TC is the only thing connected.
I am presuming the Arris is only a modem without a router in it.
There are other tricks we use to get this working but the TC has such a limited setup presented to the end user there is nothing else you can do.
Just make sure the TC is set to dhcp on the ethernet WAN setup.. and has the connectivity leds come on when you plug it in.
Otherwise bridge the TC and use it plugged into the belkin.

Using Time Capsule with Windows 7. Won't work when modem connected directly to Time Capsule, must be connected through another router.

Apple Time Capsule working with Windows 7 PC will not work when modem is connected directly to the Time Capsule. Only when a Cisco Linksystem is connnected inbetween the modem and the Time Capsule.

Sorry but it needs much more specific info than this..
What modem? Is it cable or adsl or some other?? Is it pure modem or broadband router included?
Cable has specific issues different to adsl.
If you used to use the Cisco/linksys router.. and have not reset the cable modem it will not work. Turn off the cable modem.. it must be powered down.. if battery backup drop out the battery. Remove the coax cable.. get it off. Power down everything else in the network.
Plug in the modem to the TC wan port.
Power up the modem.. wait 2min
Power up the TC.. wait 2min
Power up the clients.
If it has worked you will now be able to open the airport utility on the windows computer and see the TC has a public ip on the WAN port. If not redo the whole thing but leave the modem off.. 15min.. 1 hour.. 1 day.. ring the cable company and ask them to reset. Usually a few minutes is enough.
If you have a modem with combined router.. then bridge the TC. Just google search it.
For other combos.. tell us specifics..
