Time Capsule via ADSL modem: settings

In italy there's not a cable ADSL, so we need an ADSL modem (adapter) in order to connect to the web. So now I've just purchased a new Time Capsule and I'm in order to set the connection. I would set the device this way:
1)Set bridge mode the modem to avoid it could generate NAT conflicts via DHCP(if I'm not wrong bridge mode excludes the DHCP function in the internal server of the modem)
2)Let time machine to manage the DHCP
Any hints?
Thanks

Hello kidclaude. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
1)Set bridge mode the modem to avoid it could generate NAT conflicts via DHCP(if I'm not wrong bridge mode excludes the DHCP function in the internal server of the modem)
That is correct, reconfiguring the modem as a bridge should disable both NAT & DHCP.
2)Let time machine to manage the DHCP
By default, both NAT & DHCP are enabled on the Time Capsule (TC).

  • HT1178 How setup and configure time capsule with ADSL modem for WiFi internet

    For my first time time capsule 2TB set up,would like to know about configuration time capsule with ADSL modem for use WiFi internet!

    You will want to turn off the WiFi on your modem (if there is WiFi on your modem). Connect the TC and the modem together with an Ethernet cable. Then, turn on your TC and set it up to be in bridged mode, connection type 'Ethernet'.

  • I have a modem from my cable company that provides WiFi.  When I try to connect time capsule to the modem via an ethernet cable I am unable to and I also lose my wifi connection

    I have a modem from my cable company that provides WiFi as well as ethernet ports for internet TV and Sonos.  But when I connect Time Capsule via an ethernet cable to the back of the modem I am unable to get it to work and I lose my wifi connection completely. I added Time Capsule to back up data and also to extend the reach of my wifi with an airport extreme hooked up by another computer.

    Put the TC in bridge before you plug it in.. ie do the setup in isolation to the rest of the network..
    I would also start a new wireless name on the TC so it is different to the cable router..
    If you want to be exacting also set wireless channels so the cable router is set to say channel 1 and the TC set to 11 for 2.4ghz. Then plug it in.. you will have no trouble as the TC will get an ip address as part of the existing networking.. then extend the wireless using the extreme.

  • Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Hi Bob,
    I'm not certain the post I sent was posted correctly, as I added it as a reply to a 3-year old thread. Since this is a recently-active thread, though not specific to the issue at hand, I thought I'd post again:
    Three years ago you helped me set up a roaming wireless network in my home. It's been rock-steady and I'm forever grateful to you for the time and guidance you gave me. I'd now like to swap out my AirPort Extreme base station for a time capsule. As I understand it, I should be able to unplug the base station and replace it with the TC without problem, so long as I use all the same settings on my TC... network name, security protocol, password, etc. Given the complexity of my network, I thought I should check with you first for any advice you might have. I don't want to set up a new network or make any changes to the existing one-- with the exception of using the TC in place of the AE. I'm already using Time Machine for backups. As a refresher, my current setup has the AE as base station and 3 expresses hard-wired with Ethernet connections elsewhere in my home. I have a 4th express set up wirelessly to use with my stereo system at the front of the house. All AXs are 'n's and are set up, as per your instructions, in Bridge mode to extend the existing network. I'm running the most updated version of Mavericks on my MBPro. Any suggestions you might have will be, as always, very much appreciated! Sincerely, Phyllis Sommers

  • Connecting to Time Capsule via Ethernet

    Hi,
    I'm working on a Tiger OS and I cannot connect to my time capsule. I followed instructions in the manual, but I simply do not see Time Capsule on my desktop, and there is very little info in the manual.
    I am working off of ethernet, not airport, and would prefer to used ethernet for the moment. I have it connected via LAN port to my macbook pro. There's only one ethernet port on my computer. Does anyone have any advice? I know about about Macs, but dont have much experience with network specs.
    I simply need to archive data, but I cannot see Time Capsule on my desktop. Time Capsule is connected just fine to my modem, but now how do I connect to my computer? I've tried to unplug ethernet from my computer, and into the LAN port on my capsule, but to no avail.
    I am absolutely clueless as to how I can use this machine at this point??
    Thanks much.

    Jean,
    You probably don't have the Network Preferences set correctly.
    Connecting The Time Capsule Via Ethernet
    Connect one end of a Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>).
    Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
    Open Network Preferences.
    At the top change "Location:" to "Ethernet Connection".
    In the list on the left "Ethernet" should be at the top of the list. (If not use the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom to "Set Service Order".)
    Click "Apply" in the lower right.
    Give it a moment to acquire an IP address from the TC.
    You should now be connected.
    Now begin your initial backup.
    Now that you are reconnected to the TC, you should still have internet access during the backup.
    Let us know if this was helpful. Next time start a new thread, you're more likely to get helpful responses that way.
    Cheers!

  • Connecting Macbook with Time Capsule via Ethernet

    Hello!
    I have a time capsule and a macbook. I used to backup my data with the time capsule via ethernet. Now there was an update to airport I guess and since then the menue to configure the time capsule looks different and now I have trouble finding out how to set up the connection between macbook and time capsule via ethernet. I dont want the WLAN to be used so I want the ethernet be the connecting part of both esp because i want to backup lots of data now but Im missing the setting that said use use time capsule via ethernet. I just dont know how to set it up now.
    I have the ethernet cable in the very left ethernet slot next to the reset button of the time capsule and its also plugged in to the ethernet slot on the macbook. But what are the settings for this connection.
    Can someone help please otherwise i think my 23GB backup will take 3 days...
    Thanks in advance
    Dine

    Open the network preferences and make sure the ethernet is getting an IP from the TC.. you do not need to change any settings .. all you need is network connection.. if the ethernet is working just turn off airport for the time the backup is going on. Once you turn off airport in the MBP the connection will be forced to ethernet. You can do it more correctly by rearranging the order of preference for network connection.. but for now.. just turn off airport.

  • Manage Time Capsule via Server App

    Hi,
    I used to be able to manage my Time Capsule via the Server app, but now all I get is "Incorrect Password"
    I know for a fact that the password is correct. How do I fix this?

  • If I use airport utility to erase my time capsule will all my settings be lost? Does "import configuration" work well?

    If I use airport utility to erase my time capsule will all my settings be lost? Does "import configuration" work well?

    Erasing the Time Capsule's internal HDD, via the AirPort Utility, will NOT affect the TC's configuration settings. However, if your intent is to completely remove these settings as well, you will want to perform a "factory default" reset on the TC to do so.
    If you first export the configuration, you can always import it back in after the reset to get you back up and running quickly.

  • Time capsule via cable

    hi,
    i use a Time capsule via WLAN. now the dc Connection via WLAN Diedrich.
    now i World like to connect via cable, what i have to do?
    Litze

    More then a year it worked well.
    How old is the TC? What model.. A1xxx from the base molded into the rubber or on the label.
    TC that are Gen3 A1355 or Gen4 A1409 should be fine for 3years. After that they can give trouble.
    I connected the System as ist was described in the Manual.
    Using wireless connection to the TC is very poor. It is better to wire it to the dsl modem router as I described.
    THere are two possible methods.. or more actually but the main ones wireless and ethernet .. of those ethernet is the only reliable way to do it.
    Now i woukd like to use the TC as a normal extern harddisk via cable.
    Is that possible?
    If you want to use the TC it has to be connected by ethernet or wireless.. you cannot use it by USB. Nor can you use two different wireless connections at the same time.. it would be possible to connect to the imac by ethernet and use wireless to the dsl modem for internet.. but then the Macbooks could not connect to the wireless of the TC and get internet at the same time. You can set it up so the Macbook would get wireless to the TC or would get internet.  but the TC has to be part of the network for you to get both at once.
    So use the method I posted. Factory reset the TC.. and plug it in by ethernet to the modem router.. and use it in bridge mode.
    Factory reset the TC by powering off.. then hold in reset and power on again.. keep holding in reset for about 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. nothing will happen to the data stored in the TC hard disk.

  • Time Capsule, Xbox and NAT settings.

    Hello there..
    I recently moved to a new a apartment and since then, am I having nothing but trouble. I've been struggling with the NAT setting on my iMac, because of bad connections and warnings on my Xbox. I want to change the settings from "strict" to "open", but I have no idea how?...
    I use the newest Time Capsule and my iMac is from late 2009.
    Any help will be much appreciated, thanks!

    Thank you so much for the fast feedback, but i think it's already turned off... When i go to my AirPort Manual Setup, and so on, does it say "Off (Bridge Mode)"...?
    I if it's any help: In my last apartment I had one modem and a Time Capsule. The modem supplied the Internet from our TV cable (I think) and then my Time Capsule that took the internet and made it wireless. I don't know if it's any help, but we didn't have any problems back then.
    Now we only have my Time Capsule, that's using a regular internet cable from a little tiny white box that's hanging on our kitchen wall.
    PS: My Time Capsule didn't create a new network when I moved, it kept the password, the networks name and maybe some settings? I don't know and I still don't have any idea on how to fix it...
    Again, thank you so much for your reply!

  • 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.

  • HT1175 I am trying to setup my Time capsule via a ethernet cable as a back up for a new iMac. The on button on the time capsule set up window keeps failing to stay on. Any ideas what to do?

    A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
    But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
    If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
    Important thing is to get access to the TC.
    The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

  • How can i get an xbox 360 to connect to my time capsule via WIRED connection?

    I have a Time Capsule and i need to connect my xbox 360 to it because my stepdad has the network in this house set up crazily. He gets mad if i ask him to change anything because it is how he wants it and it works with EVERYTHING ELSE. I do not have a wireless adapter so i need to connect the xbox to my time capsule via a wired connection
    Thanks =]

    Here is what I would look into.
    Use iCloud and photo stream to upload pictures taken with the iPad.
    Find a remote log in utility, or web based app to then remote to your computer.
    Download the files from photo stream to your time capsule.
    As far as recommending a remote log in utility. I have not experience in that area and would need to do research my self.

  • Connecting Airport Extreme N to Time Capsule via ethernet to extend wireles

    Hi, I currently have 2 Airport Extreme N and a Time capsule and would like to connect all three together. I am planning to use the time Capsule as the router and then use the other airport extreme to extend the wireless network. I am planning to have ethernet connection between the three devices ie Airport extreme N (A) is connected to time capsule via ethernet and airport extreme N (B) is connected to time capsule via another ethernet.
    I have tried the Extend Wireless network option to connect them, but that seems to generate so much traffic between the airport extreme N and the time capsule that the network is not usable. I have also tried using WDS but that didn't seem to work.
    The three wireless networks have some areas of overlap but the signal is weak which is why i prefer to link them up with ethernet.
    What is the best wall to configure them? should I set them up so that they're each creating a wireless network but with the same name? Or is there a better solution? Thanks!

    It seems to me the easiest way is to have the Airport Extreme connect to internet using Ethernet, using DHCP and the Connection sharing in off (bridge mode) and then create a new wireless network with the same name... Is that correct? I have previously ran the apple wizard and it did something weird with the network and then both the time capsule and the airport extreme are serving out IP address and both of them have the same IP address 10.0.1.1. which then messes up everything...
    Any ideas? thanks!

  • I cannot access the external hard drive connected to my time capsule via wifi

    I have two external hard drives (a WD mybook and an older Seagate, both HFS+ formatted) connected via a USB hub to my time capsule (which is also my wifi router).
    Here's the funny thing: If I a connect my mac mini to the time capsule via an ethernet cable, both disks show up as normal in Finder - along with 'Data' under Time Capsule under Shared.
    But if I disconnect the ethernet cable and connect to the router via wifi, there's no sign at all of the two disks - not in Finder, and not under 'Disks' in the Airport Utility.
    Anyone out there with a solution?!

    Hi William, and thanks for replying.
    I do have a guest network set up (for exactly that reason that guests don't get access to shared disks) but am definitely not connected to it.
    So sadly it has to be something else.
