Time Capsule wont connect to the internet

I have a 17" macBook Pro 2.33 GHz
I have a 1t Time capsule
I have a netgear router
My internet connection works via ethernet. from comcast box to macbook pro
My internet connection works from comcast box to time capsule to MacBook pro via ethernet
I have called comcast and had them reset the box many times
I have left everything unplugged overnight
I have started the time capsule first and the comcast box first
I have reset all devices
I have all the latest software
on the time capsule after starting up it flashes green goes solid then flashes again
My comcast box is an Arris ( I know about the standby mode)
The only time I was able to get it to work was to go from my comcast box to a router then to the time capsule. It doesnt work anymore.
I have tried plugging it into the connection port, and ethernet port.
I have tried all the router ports.
I have run assistant, diagnostics, renewed my dchp(sp) lease
Wireless works everywhere but home

Ok, well, if the Time Capsule was working with the Netgear router then it was running in bridged mode, which you need to change when you take out the Netgear router. Do this:
1. Plug the ethernet cable from your Comcast box to the WAN port on your Time Capsule.
2. Plug an ethernet cable from a LAN port on your Time Capsule to your computer.
3. Run AirPort Utility, select your Time Capsule, and go to Manual Setup. Click on the Internet tab, and at the bottom change the Connection Sharing from Off (Bridge Mode) to Share a Public IP Address.
After doing this you will want to reset your Comcast box as well so that your Time Capsule can acquire the correct IP address.

  • I can't get my airport time capsule to connect to the internet

    I can't get my new airport time capsule to connect to the internet. It works fine with my linksys router

    We cannot help with that amount of info..
    What internet type and modem do you have? Exact modem make and model may help.
    Is the linksys router also the modem? You do know there is no modem in the TC?
    How is the Linksys authenticating if it is plugged into the modem??
    If cable did you shut down the cable modem for at least 20min to change the router.. this is always required with cable system.. often the time is longer.. one hour or overnight even.

  • Help! Time Capsule not connected to the Internet

    Hi everyone!
    I have this problem, and hope someone can help me.
    In my house I have this network
    Modem/Router Netgear DGN2200 connected via ethernet to Airport Express.
    Airport Express is set to create a wireless network, bridge mode.
    In the house I also have a Time Capsule set to extend the wireless network, bridge mode.
    Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to my TV decoder to have extra services through the Internet.
    Ok. All worked fine until a couple of days ago.
    Then, I didn't change anything but Time Capsule (and so the TV decoder) seems to have no acces to the Internet anymore.
    But Time Capsule is still available on the local network, so I can access to it, make backups and so on.
    What should I do?!
    Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English.
    Matteo

    Did you try a simple reboot of the network devices.. turn off all the network stuff..
    Restart in correct order..
    1. Modem.. wait 2 min.
    2. Express.. wait 2min.
    3. TC.. wait 2min.
    Then try the TV.. if it doesn't work reset both the express and TC to factory.. and redo the setup.. you had them setup correctly but please use SMB names.. since the TV will not talk apple.. SMB names are short.. 2-20 characters.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    so for example the name of the Express.. AEx Name of the TC.. TC1
    Name for wireless. Aex24ghz
    Use a different name for 5ghz if your Express is a dual band latest model. Aex5ghz
    Use fixed channel so that it is locked.. eg. 2.4ghz on channel 11 5ghz on channel 40.
    The TC will follow the wireless exactly.
    See how you go.

    We have tried to reset the router and the apple tv to no sucess!

  • MY AIRPORT TIME CAPSULTE WONT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET

    i bought a new airport time capsule.  connected it to my modem/router via ethernet cable.  plugged it in, and cant get it setup from there.  the airport utility is saying it's not connected.  help would greatly be appreciated!

    Are you using the WAN port on the TC to the LAN port on the router? Do the connectivity LED come on?? That must happen to have connectivity.
    The TC must be setup by wireless.. so in the computer make sure you are close enough to the TC to pick up wireless signal.
    Factory reset the TC and start over if it is failing.
    Make sure the wireless is set with IPv6 to link-local, as this is now essential for the setup.
    It should then appear as a new device under wifi and in the airport utility.

  • My time capsule loses connection to the internet after a short amount of time. It works for 1-2 minutes then stops, any suggestions?

    I just replaced a generation 1 time capsule with the brand new 3TB TC version.   I connected it and did all of the restarts and even called apple and spent over and hour and we simply couldnt figure it out.   Right when the devices (modem and router) are done re-booting I receive green lights in airport utility on both the base stattion TC and the internet. The internet is screaming fast and I am able to go to new websites.  Then after just a couple minutes (1-2) the internet light switches from green to amber and I drop my connection.   I feel like I have tried everything but it keeps losing the connection.   Any suggestions?

    Exactly what modem are you using?
    And what mode is the TC running in and how is it connected and what mode does it work in?

  • I already have a DSL gateway that is a wireless capable and is used as a router to set up my network. Do I have to use time capsule to connect to the internet, or can I use it to join my current network and use it as a backup disk?

    Can I use time capsule without setting up internet connection?

    Yes, you can connect to your current router using Ethernet (highly recommended) or wirelsss only.

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • My I-Touch Wont Connect To The Internet ! But My Bro's Did ! Help Please

    I just bought this friggin thing a few hours ago, cause my idiot brother talked me into getting it. He successfully connected his to the internet. I just paid $230.00 for an 8gb Ipod-touch, and a warranty, and it wont connect to the internet. I put in my network, and the password, but it's not going through. But my brothers works fine. Anybody know what i can do ?

    Yeah, they took down the post cause im not supposed to talk about it apparently. That was my brothers. His is working fine, he can go online, and do things, but for some reason i cant go on youtube, or safari, and cant connect to my main connection.
    I was thinking, maybe since there is two I-Touch's, maybe only one can be connected, but im not to sure about that.

  • Vista connects to Time Capsule but not to the internet.

    Hi. Please help, I am pulling my hair out. I have just bought a Time Capsule to use as a base station to connect my laptops, PS3, iPhone etc to the internet. When I set up my Time Capsule, I got my Macbook Pro, my PS3 and my iPhone connected in about 15 minutes flat. But I have now been trying to get my wife's Sony Vaio laptop (about one year old) connected for about 3 hours. It can see the network no problem, it connects, but it only ever connects locally and will not let the Windows machine connect to the internet. When I select which network to join, it correctly identifies my network with the correct name, but once it is connected it only sees an "unidentified network".
    I have looked through the forums and made sure that the NETbios is started and the security encryption matches.
    If I go to the "Summery" page in my Airport Utility on my Macbook, it can see the Windows laptop.
    The more I try the more I want to throw the windows machine out of the window and get my wife a mac, but she informs me that she is 28 and she is a PC! Therefore, I need to fix this...............please help.

    From the Vaio's Windows Desktop, start a Command Window session. (ref: Start > Start Search > enter cmd, and then, press Enter). At the command prompt, type-in ipconfig /all, and then, press Enter.
    You may have several network components listed. For example, entries for both the Ethernet and Wireless connections. We want to concentrate on the wireless adapter settings.
    Note the values of the following:
    o IPv4 Address - This should be an IP address in the same range as that being provided to the other network clients. By default, the AirPort uses the 10.0.1.n range ... so an address like 10.0.1.10 would be appropriate.
    o DHCP Enabled - This should be "Yes."
    o Default Gateway - This should be the IP address of the LAN-side of your AirPort. By default, it would be 10.0.1.1.
    o DHCP Server - This should be the same as the Default Gateway value.
    o DNS Servers - These should be your ISP's DNS servers IP addresses.
    Again, compare these values with the other computers that are successfully access the Internet. Except for the IPv4 value, all others should be the same.
