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.

  • Time Capsule Will Not Connect to the Internet

    I would appreciate any help or suggestions with my Time Capsule problem. We have a 1TB Time Capsule, in all of 2010 it worked great. We had 2 Mac Books backing-up to it daily, never had a problem. We purchased an iMac this month and I migrated the setting from one of the Mac Books onto the iMac, no problems. However, now the Time Capsule will not back-up either the iMac or the other Mac Book. The Mac Book that I migrated all the information from hasn't been turned on since the migration. Yesterday, the Time Capsule no longer allow us to connect to the internet. I contacted my ISP to ensure internet service was active and plugged the exisiting Mac Book (we still use) into the cable modem and was able to use the internet. This morning the TC wouldn't allow audio streaming to an ATV. Any ideas on what to do to correct the problem?

    I'm good with erasing all former back-ups on the Time Capsule and starting fresh with the iMac. Please tell me how.
    o Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    o Click the Disks icon
    o Click the Disks tab just below the Disks icon
    o Click the Erase button in the center of the window
    The Quick Erase option will be fine for your purposes. This will only take a moment or two.
    When you are ready to backup the iMac,
    o Connect it to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule using an ethernet cable
    o Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    o Open Time Machine
    o Click Select Disk
    o Click on your Time Capsule to highlight it
    o Click Use for Backup
    The backup will begin in a few minutes. Allow a long time for the backup. A good time to start this is late at night so you can let the backup run overnight.

  • MBP upgraded to Yosemite and now will not connect to Internet using a Cisco router

    I Upgraded my MBP mid 2010 to Yosemite and now it will not connect to Internet using a system that involves typing in my user name and password in an auto pop up window provided by Cisco security systems. Before, using Mavericks, it worked perfectly: boot up MBP and the Cisco pop up auto loaded. Typed it my password and hey presto, connected to Internet. Now, zilch. There is nothing wrong with the Cisco cos my iPad connects ok, as do both my iPhone's.
    the problem is with Yosemite therefore. Please help. I tried all the usual diags, etc to no avail.

    Sounds like there could be some kind of compatibility issue between ICS and this Bluetooth device of yours. Is there any compatibility info from the manufacturer about which Android versions that's being supported?

    Just bought aTC and it will not connect to my Mac. The yellow light is blinking on the TC.  Can you help?

    It is a problem for sure..
    Apple assembled this page of gogars to help you.
    OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
    It is however mostly just links some of them very old.
    Reset the TC to factory and start again.. make sure you have ipv6 set to link local only on wireless at least .. as well as ethernet if you use it.

    Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule

  • My time capsule will not connect to the internet.

    Please help.  Just purchased a brand new 2T airport time capsule for my MacBook Pro and my other apple devices.  I have the ethernet cable plugged into the TC and into my Westell modem, in the correct jacks.  There is a green light on the connection spot for the WAN port.  The network appears in my network list, then I go to set it up and it tells me I have an error and a red 1 next to the network after it updated the software and tried to set itself up.
    When I click on the red 1 it comes up with an amber mark next to set up over WAN.  I have no clue what to do to fix the problem.  I am providing a screenshot to show what I am seeing.
    Any and all help is welcome. 
    I can connect to the internet through my old network on my modem, but not through the Airport TC.
    Thanks

    Factory reset the TC and start again.
    Your name is not valid.. it is over the number of characters allowed.. although the stupid airport utility won't stop you.
    Use names for the TC and wireless that are short, 2-20 characters, no spaces and no apostrophe.. pure alphanumeric.
    When you say it is plugged in with correct jacks.. does that mean WAN port on the TC to LAN port on the router??
    The TC should also be in bridge mode.. so when you redo the setup.. make sure you have off bridged mode for the network.. but you create a wireless network with the new name or same name as the existing wireless network.

  • My Windows Laptop does not connect to my apple 4th generation time capsule can not connect to internet.

    I have a HP laptop running Windows 7.  I a habe a 4th generation time capsule for wireless internet.  everytime my laptop restarts it will not pick up and run the internet.  i have to run the trouble shooter program to get it to reconnect.  Sometimes this works sometime it does not the laptop and time capsule are both up todate on all the softwhere.

    Is the TC working in router or bridge mode??
    Have you set SMB compatible names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.. not apple names.
    Have you set wireless with different name for 5ghz.. and set channels manually and tested them.
    11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz in that order. Low.. say 36 or 40 and around 150 for 5ghz.
    Test with no wireless security.. is it then working.. if so, then set wpa2 personal security with a password of 10-20 characters pure alphanumeric.
    On a computer /device that does work find out the following.
    DNS and Gateway.
    When the PC connects to the wireless does it get the right values for DNS and Gateway.. if not then the TC is either incompatible or wireless driver is not compatible.
    The fact that your windows is up to date does not mean the wireless drivers are.. Intel make the worst drivers.. if the laptop has intel wireless card. Expect trouble.
    Download direct from Intel the most current driver and the last 3 or 4 available.. not even the latest is a guarantee it will work.
    Even if everything is right.. dns gateway.. connection.. security.. wireless channel.. it is wireless.. it can still refuse to move packets.. it is simply the nature of the beastie. Wireless is 80% voodoo still.
    Buy a different wireless chipset USB stick.. or get a wireless router like a TP-Link.. very cheap, $30-50 and use it as a WAP plugged into the TC.

  • HT1178 will not connect to internet through BT hub

    I can connect to the bt hub through time Capsule but no internet?

    How is the TC setup? It should be in bridge.
    If you have it in NAT router it may not work due to double NAT.

  • Time capsule will not connect to certain websites

    When I've selected my Time Capsule as my network, internet browsers run slow and certain sites will not load at all.  In particular, Yahoo will not load, so I have trouble accessing my email.  It works fine when I switch the network to the wireless router supplied by my ISP.  I'd rather default to the Time Capsule to use the backup function automatically.  Does the Time Capsule have the ability to block sites?  If so, how do I clear them out?

    Your TC could be in the wrong mode..
    Do a factory reset and start over.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • Time Capsule Will Not Connect to WIFI

    I just purchased a new Time capsule but it will not show up in airport settings, which means I can not continue to set it up. How can I fix this

    If you are using OSX 10.7 then download Airport Utility version 5.6 to set up your Time capsule. Don't use the version 6.0 included in OSX 10.7.

  • Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet, we also did not create a new network and cannot find this option again

    Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet?

    You might try doing a reset of your AirPort unit.  Use a pen or paper clip to press in on the recessed reset button while you plug it in, then continue to keep the button pressed until the status light flashes several times,
    For more advice, please describe all your networking gear.

  • All of a sudden my iTunes 10.1.1.4 will not connect to internet radio

    Hi all,
    All of a sudden yesterday, my iTunes 10.1.1.4 will not connect to internet radio. It has otherwise been working fine for almost two years.
    My internet connection is working fine for web browsing and email.
    I ran the iTunes diagnositcs and it showed me how to go in to the Windows Firewall settings to check to see if there was a connection... there was already one for iTunes in the list of accepted connections. Just to be sure, I created a new iTunes connection exception and it didn't help.
    The iTunes diagnostics test shows all information as being normal except this info, pasted in below, about the Firewall test...
    Firewall Information
    Windows Firewall is on.
    iTunes is NOT enabled in Windows Firewall.
    Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
    Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
    Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
    Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
    Connection attempt to firmware update server was unsuccessful.
    The network connection timed out.
    But this information is partially incorrect, according to the Windows Firewall settings themselves.  My Windows Firewall settings show that iTunes is indeed enabled in Windows Firewall.
    I can access the iTunes store, but there doesn't seem to be any test in the iTunes diagnostics that makes it test to see if it is connecting to the iTunes internet radio server.
    Is there possibley a current problem happening with the iTunes internet radio connection?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    numetro

    Hi movem,
    Are you saying that Apple has changed the URL for every internet radio station in the entire iTunes radio station library?... or are you suggesting that just some of the internet radio stations in my playlist changed their own URLs?
    It seems unlikely that it happens to be that every single internet radio station in my playlist of a hundred radio stations all happened to change thier URLs at the same time, since all of the stations in my playlist will not play from that playlist.
    When I went through and found some of the radio stations in the giant default internet radio station library in iTunes, I found some of my old ones that were in my playlist and they play fine and they can be put in to a new playlist and they play fine there too, but the very same stations still will not play from my old original playlist.
    So it makes sense if you are saying that Apple has somehow changes all the URLs for all the radio stations in iTunes, because that make sense since they all play from the main radio library.
    But, otherwise, to say that all the radio stations in my playlist happened to change their own URLs at the same time, that would be a bit far fetched.
    Did you get some news from Apple that this happened, one way or the other?
    PS: I'm having a hard time finding a few of the stations that were in my previous, original playlist as well... some of them have either disappeared, changed categories, gone off the air or changed their names.
    Thanks,
    numetro

  • My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet.

    My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet. I tried to repair connection, tried to reboot modem several times, I even updated my computer. Nothing. All it says is that it does not detect modem. Why?

    Welcome to the support community group.
    First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
    Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
    First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop.  Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back  for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power.  Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
    Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
    Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop.  Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility.  Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
    Check back if you're still having problems.

  • Green light on Airport Extreme but will not connect to internet

    I have tried restarting computer and Airport Extreme but it will not connect to internet.  Unit has been working great up until now.  I have made no changes in system.
    This Airport/time machine is 2009 version.

    The Cisco DPC 3010 is a cable modem, so you will need to let the modem completely reset before you connect it to the AirPort Extreme.
    It may be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and reconfigure it, but we will try a shortcut first to see if that can be avoided.
    Power off the entire network.....all devices....modem, AirPort, computers, mobile devices, etc in any order that you want.
    Be sure to disconnect the power cable on the modem, either on the back of the device or pull the power cord from the wall AC jack
    Leave everything powered off for at least 30 minutes.  Longer is better, as it sometimes takes the equipment back at the ISP longer to completely reset and issue a new fresh IP address to the modem.
    After the wait period, power up the modem first, and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself. If your modem documentation states that the modem should be powered up for 15 minutes, then go with 15.
    Power up the AirPort Extreme next, and let it run a few minutes
    Then power up other devices one at a time about a minute apart
    When the entire network is back up, check the network.
    It this does not work, you will have to start over again as above, except this time you will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme.
    To do that, power off the AirPort Exterme for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Extreme.....and keep holding it in for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the Extreme
    Release the reset button after the hold period, and allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Power off the AirPort now, and start it back up in the proper sequence
    If things still don't work, then you likely have a defective AirPort Extreme that will need to be replaced.

  • Time Capsule will not spin down

    I have read some similar posts regarding this issue, but none could I find that is similar to my issue. I have an older Time Capsule (model #1254) which I recently upgraded from 500 GB to a Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 rpm 64 MB cache SATA 6.0 GB/s drive. Old drive was full. Since doing so the Time Capsule will not stop spinning, even when both of my computers are asleep or even shut down. The outside of the TC case is warm to the touch and I can feel and hear the drive spinning. The previous 500 GB Seagate drive did not have any of these issues.
    Last night, while at home, I tried downgrading the firmware several times, but no luck. I have since read on the discussions to try renaming the TC and also, resetting the TC. I was hoping that someone else has had similar issues with a similar setup and has stumpled upon a solution. Obviously, I'm worried about the heat eventually killing my TC!
    I decided on the 2 TB Seagate drive after reading other forums and discussions, but maybe I choose poorly?
    Thanks all!

    Hi, after some tests i went to a new situation, which allows me to spin down the disk, in certain circumstances. It took me a week, so I want to share this experience in case it would be of any help.
    I executed the following operations using a MacBook Pro with a new installation of OS X 10.6 from an external disk. This is not necessary, but I wanted to exclude the possibility of some app or hidden process in my system, or even some unknown (to me) new feature of OS X 10.9 using the TC disk without my awareness. During all the test, no other device was connected to the TC network.
    First, I copied the Time Machine spare disk volume from the TC to an external USB drive, via the USB port at the back of the TC.
    Then I formatted the TC disk to all zeros and reset the TC configuration to factory default.
    At this point, restarting the TC, the disk was spinning for hours like before, no change. But now I can exclude it was the OS X Spotlight indexing the files: with the disk formatted to zero, there was nothing to index. So, Spotlight is not guilty to for this buggy behavior of the TC.
    Now what happened is that I mounted the TC with Finder, and, 5 minutes later, the disk stopped from spinning. I can't say if this would happen even if I wouldn't format the disk, as I don't remember the last time I mounted the TC as a remote disk. If someone has this problem, I believe this is the first thing to try, keep the TC mounted and see if the disk spins down.
    Then I went back to my Mavericks installation, copied the Time Machine spare disk volume, perviously backed up to the external disk, back into the TC. And finally reconfigured Time Machine to keep on using the old backup volume.
    Now Time Machine regularly backs up every hour, and 5 minutes later the disk spins down. But this only works when the TC is mounted as remote disk. Whenever I unmount it, and then backup, the disk keeps his old behavior and doesn't spin down.
    I think it is out of discussion that the spin down command always comes from the TC and not from the Mac, because the default spin down time of OS X Mavericks is set to 10 minutes (and so is mine), while my TC now spins down after 5 minutes, according to his settings. So, the TC is able to spin down my non-original disk, but only when he likes. This means that if I disconnect my Mac from the TC network, and someone else connects his Mac to the same network, without mounting the TC drive, it will start spinning endlessly. This is definitively crazy.
