Time Capsule with WiFi ONLY?

Is it possible to set the time capsule up without ever hooking up the Time Capsule itself to a router? I use my neighbor's WiFi (with permission), but I never have access to their router. Please help me!

James,
You can only connect to one network at a time with any computer...
If you want to connect to their network for the Internet, then you would have to choose their network.
If you want to backup to your TC, then you would have to change from the above network and choose your other TC network... To me, that is a pain in the rear but that is up to you.
Good Luck...

  • Connection printer to time capsule with wifi ... Problem

    Sorry i am french... so my english is verry bad
    I have buy yesterday a new printer with wifi connection, my problem is the wifi software into the printer dont find the time capsule...
    Can you find a solution?

    The new 7.6.3 firmware and 6.2 utility is supposed to provide WPS which is probably what the printer is requesting to do connection.. but you can use WPS without the new firmware. WPS is available.. just tricky to get at.

    The manual setup method suggested in the above article is the best.. just plug the printer into the computer by usb and use the setup disk that came with the printer.. I have done a few of these and it works fine.
    I do recommend before you start.. setup TC with SMB type names.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.

  • Time Capsule with WiFi

    I have done something during attempting to connect another imac to time machine and have lost all wireless connectivity.  IP ports still work. Any suggestions for restoring?  Signal strong, Airport only says "No configured AirPost base stations have been found".

  • I have a Time Capsule with the internal disk drive. I have copied my photos and music to the internal drive. Is it possible to access the photos etc. using my Apple Tv to see it on my TV, iPads etc? on my home WIFI.

    I have loaded my Time Capsule with my photos, videos, music etc. I want to access these using my Apple TV on my home WIFI for display on my tv's, and Ipads, Has anyone figured out a way to do this? I can do it by access to my Macbook but that's not always convenient.

    If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
    If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
    They might be fixable but I do not know how.

  • Using Time Capsule's wifi with ATT

    I currently use ATT's 2wire router for my home wifi network.  If I purchase Time Capsule, can I use it's wifi capabilities in conjunction with my 2wire router from ATT?  I don't think I can do away with the 2wire because I use ATT's dsl.

    If I purchase Time Capsule, can I use it's wifi capabilities in conjunction with my 2wire router from ATT?
    The Time Capsule will need to connect to the 2Wire router using an Ethernet connection.
    Once you have that connection established, you could configure the Time Capsule to provide a wireless network and turn off the wireless function on the 2Wire.
    Or, use the Time Capsule for backup only over the 2Wire wireless network and turn off the wireless function on the Time Capsule.
    You would not want to have the wireless function on both the 2Wire and Time Capsule running at the same time because this will likely create interference issues between the two signals. The exception would be if you plan to locate the Time Capsule a few rooms away from the 2Wire.

  • Can you use Time Capsule with any wifi extender?

    Can you use Time capsule with any wifi extenders?

    No, since Apple designed their routers to only work with other Apple routers.
    I suppose that it is possible that another brand might work, but since you won't know this until you try, it would be a good idea to have a clear understanding of the store's return policy before you decide to gamble.

  • How do i set up the time capsule with only a wireless net work? it keeps asking me to plug in a cable and i do not have one.

    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.

  • I am trying to back up on my new time capsule with my mac book pro.  It's been 25 hours and only done 5.8gb of 129gb. any advice.  Thanks

    You can backup 2 computers as long as the TC has enough space.
    Your access might be restricted if you set it up with users.. you must log in with the correct user to get access to the files.
    Otherwise you should be able to see both sparsebundles just with finder.
    Look at Pondini's excellent FAQ

  • Have 2009 time capsule  with 6 month old iMac  very slow cox said i needed to replace with a new time machine with newer wifi ??

    have 2009 time capsule with 6 month old iMac  very slow  ...cox said to replace with new router or extreme with new wifi ???? confused

    Replace the Time Capsule with a new one or replace your router with an Airport Extreme Base Station that has faster Wi-Fi. Or you could just connect your old Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection from the Time Capsule to the computer's Ethernet port.

  • I can't expand my Time capsule with an other airport to support wifi transfer itunes music to my stereo receiver.

    I can't expand my Time capsule with an other airport to support wifi transfer itunes music to my stereo receiver.
    I can see my time capsule in the airport configuration program, but not my airport. Not even when it is cabled.

    On the side label find the model number.. A1084 for example is old. It will not work.
    The new one A1392 and the earlier N wireless A1264 will both work.

  • Face time with wifi only.  I have a 4Gs iPhone traveling to Japan.  Can I use face time with another 4Gs or IMacback in the States using just wifi and with I have my Celluar Data and Data Roaming off?

    Face time with wifi only.  I have a 4Gs iPhone traveling to Japan.  Can I use face time with another 4Gs or IMacback in the States using just wifi and with I have my Celluar Data and Data Roaming off?

    Thanks,  After changing my settings in face time per your suggestion, (it needed to be done),  I turned off cellular data and data roaming and made a call using face time.  It worked!  Great way to stay in touch while overseas without the need for those egregious phone data plans. 

  • Face Time with Wifi only iPad to iPhone

    Is it possible to Face Time on a Wifi only iPad from an iPhone ? Or on a Mac Book Pro from iPhone

    To answer my own question, the answer is yes.  Add the phone number you want to Face Time with, on the iPad. It works just fine.

  • 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'.

  • Set up 2 tb new time capsule for wifi with apple tv. etc. and wireless backup without any internet....

    My title says it all, I have the 2 tb time capsule with no internet at this time. Goal is to create a wifi to be able to use my MAC (OS 10.86) with my wireless printer, apple tv, and to back up data and use time machine all wirelessly. Please take me through the steps needed to make this happen.....

    How do you get internet??
    I understand that the TC is not going to be part of that but it still matters how you get internet.
    The setup is basically very simple.. The TC still needs to be in router mode.. ie on the network tab it should say dhcp and nat. You will get several errors .. ignore them.. that is because there is no WAN connection.
    That is all that is needed.. You can then connect everything via wireless and it will create a network where each device has connectivity to the others.. just no internet.

  • Can i use my time capsule with virgin wifi hub

    can i use 2tb time capsule with virgin media wifi hub router

    Yes, but it will need to connect to the Virgin router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection from one of the LAN <--> ports on the Virgin router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
