Time capsule won`t allow multiple devices to connect to the internet

I`ve got a 2TB time capsule that worked fine.
I moved to this condo where the is already a wired internet service available to each apartment. The access is made through a login and password whenever You open you browser, if connected directly on the WAN cable. No multiple logs are allowed.
When I used my Time Capsule to create a wi-fi network and serve as a router I could access the internet on my MacBook over the wi-fi just created. No problem at all. But whenever I try to log other devices (iphone, apple tv) it asks for my ap login and password, and of course it states that there`s already an active connection to that user and won`t grant me access.
I`ve then borrowed a tp-lynk router from a friend of mine, created a wi-fi network (without the time capsule on it), it asked for the log in and all but then everything worked fine and I could use all my devices through this network.
Back to the time capsule, I`ve tried different settings. First one was bridge mode, but it didn`t work. Tried DHCP & NAT but had the double NAT issue.
Also I`ve tried this solution https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/networking/configuring-an-airport-extreme- for-nat-only-mode/
but it would`t work either.
My guess is that somehow Time Capsule is attributing different IP addresses to each device that enters the Wi-Fi network, and that`s the reason I can`t access the net, since the service provider won`t allow more than one connection. On the other hand TP-Lynk was able to connect to the internet service through one IP address and then connect to other devices.
Any idea on how to solve this issue?

Tried DHCP & NAT but had the double NAT issue.
If you got the TC working and had double NAT .. sorry but the TP-Link is exactly the same.. you cannot distribute a single IP without double NAT.. the TC tells you it is a problem.. the TP-Link doesn't.. otherwise there is no difference.
But it is important the double NAT is setup right.. ie you must use different ranges.. please tell us the IP you get from a directly connected computer..
If it is 10.x.x.x then you should move the TC to 192.168. rather than default IP of 10.0.1.1 .. the TP-Link already will use 192.168.x.x. which might also explain why it works better.

Why are all my devices acknowledging my wireless network through my time capsule, but only one is able to connect to the internet?

This started when I changed the port for cable modem access. If I shut everything down- router, MacBook, and iPhone and restart the router... the device I turn on first will connect to the internet. The second device will read the wireless network but if you attempt to connect to the internet- it states no internet connection is available. Is this a security feature I enabled unknowingly? Very frustrated.

You are using your TC in the wrong way.. in bridge and it has to be in router mode.
Simply make sure you connect SB5100 to the WAN port of the TC.
Go to the airport utility, manual setup, internet tab on the bottom and choose connection.. ethernet.. and down the bottom connection sharing.. share a public IP.. sorry I don't have the exact wording as my TC is in pieces being fixed.
Update and then shut off everything again, particularly the modem.. start everything in order.. modem.. wait 2min.. then TC.. wait 2min then all the computers .. they will get an IP from the TC. With correct address and gateway.
What was happening is the first device to turn on was capturing the one and only public IP. The rest get local IP without connection.

Can you stream iTunes library from Time Capsule to a MacBook if you're connected to the internet anywhere in the world?

I want to buy a MacBook Air but the flash storage means not enough space for all my movies and music. Instead of carrying around an extra harddrive, I'd rather make the Time Capsule my external harddrive. Most of the time when I access it it will be from my house, but say I'm just out and about and connected to the internet...assuming my Time Capsule is on, can I use it as basically a cloud device and stream my iTunes movies and music to my computer?

Probably not unless you have a super speed internet connection.. most people on adsl have 1mbit upload connection or less. you cannot stream movies over 1mbit.. I doubt you can even stream music. Actual throughput is only 800kbit/s...
That is why you store things in the cloud.. you download speed from cloud is much high than upload to it.
That is unless you have a super high speed, fibre connection to your home??
It is certainly possible.. if you have enough bandwidth.. 99.999% of people don't.

Can I use Time Capsule and keep my Telstra router for connection to the internet?

Can I use Time Capsule without changing, to keep my Telstra router for conection to the internet?

You can either bridge the TG or the TC.
For the TC.. I explained it in the previous post.. and it is posted again and again and again.
For the TG782T.. open it directly from a pc.. select configuration wizard and choose bridge.. it is as easy as that.
Then setup pppoe client for the TC with your Telstra username and passwork.
Post again in Whirlpool forum if you have issues.
Either dsl hardware or bigpond.

HT3728 My Time Capsule won't allow me to access my home network each day (intermittently) between about 1000-1800. My modem is working properly, and I can get on-line by hooking my computer straight to my modem, so I know it's the Time Capsule at fault. I

My Time Capsule won't allow me to access my home wireless network for several hours each day -- usually between 1000-1830 or so. My modem is working correctly and I can still get on-line by going straight from my computer (MacBook Pro) to the Ethernet port. It must be the Time Capsule -- any ideas?

Any ideas?
Wireless Interference
Might be caused by a cordless phone in the vicinity. To give you an example, my neighbor.....across the street...used to be able to literally crash my wireless network if he was in his front yard talking on his cordless phone.
I discovered this by accident one day after spending weeks trying figure out why my network would crash at random times.
Other possibilities include a wireless security/camera system near you
Still other things might be an amateur ham radio operator....which should not interfere....but again from experience, I know that this can occur.
Yet another possibility is another wireless network near you that is being turned on and off at random times. Some users power up their modem/router only when they want to do so and leave it off otherwise.
Some general rules to help avoid interference:
Move any cordless phones that you might have as far away as possible from the Time Capsule and/or your computer(s)
Avoid placing other electronic devices....computer, television, amplifier, satellite receiver, etc. near the Time Capsule and/or your computer(s)
Avoid metal surfaces near the Time Capsule and/or your computers
Elevate the Time Capsule as much as possible. Think of it as a water sprinkler....you want to get the room as wet as possible
Experiment with different wireless channels on the Time Capsule. To do this:
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule
Click Edit
Click the Wireless tab
Click Wireless Options
Start with Channel 11 on the 2.4 GHz band and work your way down
It is unlikely that you are picking up interference on the 5 GHz band since there are.....for now at least.....far fewer networks using this frequency.

My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up. It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for.

My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up. It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for. It has been working fine for years. All of a sudden I keep getting a message that TC (time capsule) cannot complete back up as it is already in use. I am doing the backups automatically through Time Capsule.

Restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting and reconnecting the power adapter. When it's back online, open the AirPort Utility application and check to see whether there's a firmware update for it.

I-Tunes won't open unless I'm connected to the internet

I am a relatively new user to I-Tunes; when I try to open I-Tunes to play a CD or other files in my library, I-Tunes won't open unless I am connected to the Internet. Is this normal?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Time Capsule will only allow Apple products to connect to internet, PC ad PS3 shows excellent signal from TC but won't allow connection.

I have a Mac, iPad, iPhone and several iPod touch devices that can connect to the internet through Time Capsule without a problem. There are times when my work PC and PS3 won't connect to the internet through TC. There doesn't seem to be any reason why this happens and it just started happening in the last month. The PC indicates an excellent wireless connection. If you have any suggestions please put it in very easy to understand terms (I'm not a very technical person).

Ok.. that is very helpful. What OS is your Mac running?
Please now take a few screenshots of your airport utility so I can see the setup of the TC.
But it looks like it is bridged.
Open the utility and click on manual setup.
Take a screenshot of the summary page.
Take a screenshot of the internet tab.
And the other two tabs there.. TCP/IP
And DHCP
Yours will look different to mine.. but there is nothing in them that is needing to be hidden.. it is useless info to another person. I post mine to show it is useless in case it worries you.
I do need some more info.
What is the modem you have? Is it also a wifi router. In the list of wireless you took the snapshots of, you have several wireless names.. I want to know which of those are yours??
The WEP security device is a problem. It is old and near useless.. if you don't own it that is fine.. but if it is yours get rid of it.
Can your PC and PS3 connect to the internet via some other wireless?
It looks like you might be able to simply bypass the TC to connect the PC.
Sometimes it is easier to solve this problem by using different hardware.. and a secondary wireless AP can easily be plugged into a modem router if that is what you have to provide wireless just for your PC devices.
What model is your TC.. ?
Please look at the bottom rubber mat.. there is a number in the top line of the rubber molding.. It will say A1254 or A1302 or A1355 .. those are the numbers for Gen1 , 2 and 3. Gen4 it is on the paper label.. where it always should have been A1409. Please tell me that number.

Airport time capsule won't allow me to print over wifi

I just bought an airport time capsule 2TB. I set it up and almost everything works great. I have a printer that is not wireless. It's a brother 7065DN. I was told by an apple employee that if I plug the printer into the airport time capsule it will allow me to print wirelessly from my macbook pro. However, this does not work. I'm not that big into technology but if anyone knows how I can fix this please let me know. It would be nice not to have to plug my laptop in all the time to print a short

You do it the same way you did when you installed the printer on your Mac.
Connect the printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule
Power up the printer
Click System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Click Print & Fax
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
Hopefully, your printer will appear.... IF......it is compatible with the TIme Capsule
Click on the name of the printer to highlight it
Click Add
Now try to print. When you open the Print dialog box, it will appear as if you have two printers installed......because you do. One is installed on the Mac. The other is installed on the Time Capsule
You must choose the correct printer at the Time Capsule to be able to send the print command to the printer at the Time Capsule.

Time Capsule won't allow connection

I recently installed a 1 Tb. Time Capsule and attached it to my existing Airport wireless network. Things worked fine for about 2 weeks then I started getting errors such as "time cacpsule cannot set up directory". Now I cannot even connect to the time capsule as it says "too many users logged in-try again later". Using latest operating sytem and an Imac. Any help appreciated.

Time Capsule won't allow me to back up

Hey guys, so I recently got a new HDD for my macbook (black macbook) and I installed it and restored all my stuff from time capsule after I reinstalled Snow Leopard. However, during the process I had to reset my time capsule because I had forgotten my password to access the disk. Now I tried to do a back up today and when I do it says the following:
"Time Machine could not complete the backup.
The network backup disk could not be accessed because there was a problem with the network username or password.
Open Time Machine preferences and select the network backup disk and re-enter the correct username and password"
I reselected the disk three times and each time I get this message. How do I fix this so I can start backing up again?
L A

you could try this:
go system preferences > time machine and turn TM off. click on +change disk+ and select none.
next, delete this file <MacintoshHD>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist.
restart your machine, go system preferences > time machine and turn TM back on. click on +change disk+, re-select your backup volume and click +use for backups+.
if above doesn't help, continue here: http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html.

I have installed a Apple Time Machine now my Windows laptop will not connect to the internet

I recently installed an Airport Time Capsule without any problems and my iphone, ipad and Macbook Air can all connect to the internet without issues, but my son's Windows desktop suddenly won't connect to the internet.
It basically joins the network and shows that it has internet access but when you go to any webpage it says, "unable to connect to the internet"
I rang the BT helpline as i have installed the Mcafee anti-virus, which was free, thinking that there might be a confliction? After a few checks i was asked to disconnect the Time Capsule and re-connect the BT router. As soon as i did that i got internet access on my sons machine.
BT suggested i speak to Apple as there is obviously something i need to do to the desktop to enable it to work with the Time Capsule, and it is beyond their capability.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Pete

Yes I don't see problems there.
I presume the 10.0.2.29 on the Mac is just a typo.
There is a good chance windows is just being stupid, which is not surprising.
Reboot the whole system.
Restart in correct order.. modem.. TC.. 2min gap between them, and then PC.
Test with just the PC running.
See if you can open a web page.. no luck
In the command window again, ping the various IP addresses.
So ping 10.0.1.1 first.
Then ping 8.8.8.8
If those pings work, then try and ping a website. eg www.google.com
Does that work or not?
If ping works and the web pages won't open that is one of those hard ones.
Make sure under network in the PC it is located at home.. not work or public. Windows has this nasty habit of flipping itself autonomously between these settings.. take off the firewall if it is still a problem.
And finally go into the TCP/IP settings and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8

Can I get the IP of a device that connects to the internet? My device stolen. Need this info to get police help

Hi, My iPad1 is stolen. There is no way to track - the only option is erase. So I did. It was erased yesterday, which means it connects to the internet. If I can have the IP, the police can help me.
Yesterday some agent told me you apple guys can only reveal the IP information to the police. But when I call the police officer and talked to your Higher Agent, even sharing his police badge Number, She told me that you don't store IP info. I felt being fooled. Sorry to say so.
Could u please do me a favor to escalate this? Since there are lots of Valuable and Sensitive data on my other stolen devices. I definitely will be super appreciated if I can get my stuff back.
Please don't say no to me. I am a IT person myself. I am pretty sure there must be some traces on the server(s) of Apple, maybe in some log files.
Please do HELP me!
Thanks!
Peng

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
And no, Apple cannot determine the IP address of your device. There is absolutely no way they could. Nothing they do would track and store the IP address of your iPad. Even with an IP address, and even assuming it was a current IP address, locating the device from that IP address would be very difficult and require probably multiple court orders and a lot of effort. I very much doubt that the police would go to that much trouble for a single stolen iPad.
Sorry, but there is nothing Apple nor any of us here can do to help you.
Regards.

HT201441 How will the device get connected to the internet if it's locked and is wifi only?

My daughter left her purse in a fitting room briefly and once she realized this, it was gone. In her purse was her iPad mini wifi only. I am curious how would the iPad get connected to the internet if it is locked? I have find my iPhone activated and since it is a iOS 7 device I put in lost mode and set it to display my phone # and a message for a reward. I am guessing it would have to be wiped clean somehow and re activated to be signed into to get hooked to the internet. Am I on the right track that once this is done and it gets connected to the internet the device will display this message? Any comments will help thank you.

Thank you for your imput Winston. But how is the IPad going to connect when you physically have to put in the wifi password for the wifi? I guess the iPad would be able to access a unsecured wifi? I also read what I believe is conflicting with your statement about iOS 7 that you can send the remote erase and still be able to track? I havent done this yet I want to be certain that if I erase it remotely I can still track. Thanks again for your time.

HP Pavillion - Web Pages Won't Load but I'm Connected to the Internet

I was on the internet and then the page seemed to lock up. I closed the browser and reopened it and now I cannot get any web pages to load at all either in I.E. or Firefox. It just says Waiting for "website" and that is it. My other laptop connects to the internet fine using the same modem/router so it is a computer issue. Not sure how it goes from working one minute to not the next. It is a HP Pavillion G7-2270. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your notebook shows it is connected but you are unable to browse. Can you tell me which version of Windows you are using? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running? Here are some popular fixes for networking issues: Powercycle the network:
1. Shut down your notebook.
2. Unplug the power to your router.
3. Unplug the power to your modem.
4. Wait at least 45 seconds.
5. Plug in the modem, and wait for it to come back online.
6. Plug in the router, and wait for it to come back online.
7. Turn on your notebook, and test your connection.
Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
