Time Capsule with Epson XP-200 wireless set up problems

I'm going through the Epson install software to set up my Epson XP-200 to print wirelessly.
I am running a network off of my TimeCapsule.   As instructed I have the printer plugged in via USB to my MacBook running 10.6.8. 
I have confirmed that the MacBook is on my TimeCapsule network.
During the setup process in the Epson install software I am getting this error:
"The network channel assigned to your Wi-Fi network is not supported by the printer. This may disable your printer's Wi-Fi connection."
Any ideas what this means and how to fix?

Not an error I have ever seen, but not all channels are allowed in every region.
See list here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
For instance in europe or any country using ETSI regulations the channels 12 and 13 are allowed..
But equipment made for US is restricted to max channel of 11.
Anyway have a try with just manually fixing channels in your TC.. that function is available in airport utility. Set the TC to channels, 11, 6, 1 in that order for 2.4ghz and pick what works best.
Whilst you are there, change the wireless names to SMB compatible.. since most printers are designed for SMB ie windows networking.. the names should be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.

  • Time Capsule with an established wireless set up

    I am trying to advise a colleague with the following set up:
    A Macbook pro connecting wirelessly via a Netgear DG834G modem/ router.
    She would like to add a Time Capsule to this combination with the following criteria:
    Keep the DG834G as the wireless provider, but add the Time Capsule with Time Machine to wirelessly back up the Macbook Pro and also utilise the spare USB connection for an Epson printer.
    Is this a logical set up and are there any particular pitfalls? Can she start with an Ethernet connection to do the initial Time Machine back up? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Like the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), the Time Capsule (TC) can be configured to join an existing wireless network as a wireless client. As a wireless client it will both continue to perform as the destination for Time Machine backups and act as a printer server for a single or multiple (using a USB hub) USB printers.

    Are you using a v6 uitlity.. because it is a toy.. ??
    Get v5 utility and then you can hold down the option key and select the right mode.
    If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • HOW TO SET UP time capsule with time machine?

    I have not been successful in setting up time capsule with the time machine,can someone give me steps to follow?

    What part are you having problems with?  You need to make sure File Sharing is enabled on the Time Capsule (which is done in AirPort Utility).  Then you just connect to the Time Capsule either wirelessly or via ethernet cable and when you go to Time Machine setup your computer should recognize your Time Capsule as a valid storage for Time Machine backups.

  • How to set up time capsule with BT Infinity

    how to set up time capsule with BT Infinity

    The easiest and sure way is to use bridge on the TC as the method of connection. The TC then becomes a device in your network and gets its IP from the main router that I presume BT supply.
    Method is,
    1. Plug the TC WAN port into the BT supplied modem by ethernet.
    2. Plug the computer you are using for the setup into the TC by ethernet.
    3. Run the airport utility .. go to internet tab on the top menu..
    In the bottom option, Connection Sharing choose off (bridged mode)
    4. Go to the wireless page and setup wireless connection as you like it.. using whichever band you want. And make sure security is set to the highest setting, wpa2 personal. Put in a decent wireless passkey.
    5. Press the update and fix whatever else the TC will show as needing fixing.. usually security stuff.
    6. You can then disconnect the ethernet and connect by wireless if you want. Any port on the TC will now be a LAN port, including WAN.
    This is assuming BT supply a wireless router with built in vdsl/other type of modem. If so you normally will not be able to bridge the modem, unless BT are using pppoe authentication which they haven't in the past.
    If you really need to use the TC as a router then you will need to work out an alternative method. You can double NAT by placing the TC in the DMZ of the BT router if that is an option. It is not without issues in general.

  • Optimal Setup for New Time Capsule with Wireless AC

    I'm curious to see what the hypotehtical optimal setup for my Time Capsule.  I understand that wireless speeds depend on a ton of factors and that part of getting the best connection is just trying different options.  I have a new Time Capsule that's connected to the following devices: iPhone 5S; new MacBook Air with wireless AC; old iMac from 2007; old AirPort Express that only supports b/g and a newish Apple TV that supports wireless N, I believe.  I was connecting to the network (which was not designated with the 5ghz) and I recently chose the option to label the 5ghz.  I'm using that now to stream music with the new iPhone and the Apple TV with no problems, but I have no longer have the option of using the old Airport express because it's an old one.  I'm thinking of just getting a new Airport Express and leaving it at that, but wanted to know if anyone has some thoughts on this.  I'm sure there's a more concise and direct way to ask this question, but my knowledge is pretty limited here.  Thanks in advance.

    The Time Capsule is already set up for optimal performance when you open up the box.
    You can assign a separate name to the 5 GHz network and point devices that are capable to that network. This works well if the device is located close to the Time Capsule.
    But, 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so once you move a room or two away, or the signal has to pass through several walls, the 2.4 GHz will be stronger.....and probably faster as well.
    But...your device will try to stay locked on the 5 GHz network since you set it up that way.
    This type of setup may or may not work best for you.  For most users, it is simpler and more effective to use the default settings on the Time Capsule to have both bands use the same network name.
    Then, your wireless devices will automatically connect to the signal with the best quality. Best quality may not be the fastest signal since there are lot of factors involved with signal quality. But, if you think about it a bit more, don't you want to have your wireless device connect to the signal with the best quality?
    Some users swear by assigning a separate name to the 5 GHz band. I'm not one of them, but If it works well for them and they are happy, then there is no reason to change.
    An older AirPort on your network is going to drag down the speeds. You need the new AirPort Express, or better yet an AirPort Extreme if you want to be able to extend the new 802.11ac signal.

  • Installing Time capsule with U-Verse Wireless Network

    Hi all,
    I am not a techy, but I get by. I am going to install the Time Capsule and I realized that I don't think this will work with my existing U-Verse Fiber wireless network. After some thought, I believe I should just use this for wireless backup and peripheral operations rather than the internet as my current wifi also operates the televisions in the house.
    I'm hoping to get some guidance from the community as to how to use this device without having to purchase more equipment or re-wiring my entire home. Can I just plug it in and use it for wireless backup or will it interfere with my internet service (which I am happy with)?
    Any thoughts?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You are correct to allow your existing setup handle internet connections.
    The simplest setup would be to configure your Time Capsule to "Join" the wireless network created by the U-Verse router. Your computers will be able to backup via wireless assuming that you have a good connection.
    If your U-Verse router provides ethernet ports for devices (it likely does), you would also have the option of connecting the Time Capsule to the U-Verse router with an ethernet cable. This would make sense if the Time Capsule will be located near the U-Verse router as ethernet is both faster and more reliable than wireless.
    Not to get too technical here, but if you connect the TC this way, you will set Connection Sharing on the TC for "Off (Bridge Mode)".
    If you connect the Time Capsule via ethernet, you would also have the option to setup the Time Capsule to "create" its own wireless network. So, you would have two wireless networks available...one created by the U-Verse router and the other created by the Time Capsule.
    If you have computers capable of wireless connections at "n" speeds, they could connect to the Time Capsule and your other "g" devices would connect to the U-Verse. In fact, if you purchase a new dual band TC, it will be capable of creating two wireless networks on its own.
    So, you have a number of options available. Just depends on how simple or complex you want things to be.

  • How do I install Airport Time Capsule with ATT Uverse when two of my modems are wireless?

    I recently purchased an Airport Time Capsule so that I can back up multiple Apple devices. I currently have ATT Uverse and my internet provider. Also, two of my modems are wireless. How can I set up the Time Capsule so the the two wireless modems will still work?

    I think you are using wrong terminology so can I ask exactly what is the model number of the wireless modem??
    The Uverse is already a router.. and I guess you have cable service.. so there is no need for more modems.. more likely you mean you have two wireless routers and these should be setup as Wireless Access Points.. (WAP or AP). If they are working as routers then you have far too many routers. If they are working as modems you have far too many modems.
    It is impossible to tell you how to setup the TC until we know what the setup is.
    But let me suggest the most straight forward approach is to plug the TC into the Uverse by ethernet (it cannot be used by wireless.. so this is necessary). Run the TC in bridge mode.. and create a wireless network. Test if you then can access it from your network client devices and do backups from Macs.. if so there is no need for the wireless modems.. leave them off.

  • Can I use my time capsule with a bad hard drive as a wireless router if I remove the hard drive?

    I have a 500 GB time capsule with a failed HD (i've repalced the whole machine with a new time capsule).  I cannot get past the start up when I plug it in and the light glows a solid amber.  If I remove the hard drive can I use it as just a wireless router to exted my network?

    Yes, although the existing power supply might go bad before long.. you can run the TC as just an AEBS..
    It is a fairly easy job to get the hd out.

    Key to it is using hot air gun or even a hair dryer on really high temp lowest fan and spend enough time getting to glue to soften.

  • How do I set up my time capsule to operate as a wireless hub when it is not plugged into the internet?  I want to be able to share wirelessly the information on the time capsule. thanks!

    How do I set up my time capsule to operate as a wireless hub when it is not plugged into the internet?  I want to be able to share wirelessly the information on the time capsule. thanks!

    I would prefer to answer in your post. as I have tried on two occasions to help.. so far this is the first time I can see you stated  you are using Lion.
    1. Did you download and install the 5.6 utility..?
    I said to do it.. you never said yes.. I did that.
    Please do it. .. you will get no place before you do.
    2. Did you bridge the TC.. ?
    If so it will work perfectly.. please post a screen shot of the summary page from the 5.6 utility. If something is wrong I can work it out from there.
    3. Or ring apple support and get them to walk you through the setup.. there should be phone support for the first week or two.

  • How do I set up my time capsule with my PC and BT home hub

    Hi, I really need help.
    I have a new time machine I am having trouble setting up. I have a BT Home Hub that I have hard wired to the TC to the WAN port. I have Connected my PC to the Ethernet port. The PC will not find the TC.
    I also need to Wi-Fi attach other laptop PCs to it.
    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP?
    Ade.

    You might have an IP collision ..
    unplug the wan connection to the home hub..
    Restart the Time Capsule with a single ethernet connection to a pc plugged into its LAN port.
    Make sure the pc is getting an ip address. Open airport utility and see if you can now access the TC.. !
    When you say PC do you mean windows machine?
    Windows can have some issues accessing the TC.. especially if you have the windows computer on win7 running homegroup.. which is a wretched piece of incestous connection between win7 exclusively.

  • I have a wireless printer, do I have to hook my printer up to my time capsul with raw USB or can it be connected wireless??

    I recently bought a Apple Time Capsul and I am setting it up,  the set calls for me to use a USB in connecting my printer, my printer is wireless do I have to use a USB cable to set it up?? 

    I assume that you have already setup the Time Capsule, it is providing a wireless network, and other wireless devices like your computer and iPhones/iPads can connect to the wireless network.
    Some printer manufacturers do specifically require that the USB cable first be used as part of the wireless setup.
    For this, you would plug the printer's USB cable into your computer....not the Time Capsule.
    Once the printer is setup for wireless, you can then disconnect the USB cable.
    Follow the specific instructions provided by your printer manufacturer to get your device connected to the wireless network.

  • Time Machine set up on Time Capsule with data already on it

    I've had a Time Capsule for a while, using it with my Powerbook G4 running OS 10.4. I put a lot of data on it including my entire iTunes library. I just got a new MacBook Pro with OS 10.5. Now I want to set up Time Machine. Can I do this on a Time Capsule with data already on it? I haven't given it a try because I don't have the data on the TC backed up (I know I need to fix that). TM won't require me to erase the volume first will it?

    I discussed this issue with Apple Care at one point in the past when I was considering doing something similar to you.  They informed me that Apple does NOT recommend or support using Time Machine over a network (ethernet) connection.  They said Time Machine was not designed for it.
    Hope this helps
