Time Capsule+ Xbox 360 wired connection

I am looking to pick up a Time Capsule to replace my airport express as my main router. I would like to plug in my Xbox 360 to one of the ethernet ports on the back of the time capsule, while still having a wireless network for my computers.
Are there any issues that I need to be aware of? Being that it is a "standard" router in a sense I would hope that everything likes to shake hands with each other.

Works fine.
Xbox360 although may not connect to TC. Reason WPA security.
Work around> connect Express wired to TC set express to create its own network>Xbox360 will connect to Express wireless network fine including Live.

  • Time Capsule & Xbox 360 via ethernet

    Hi
    I have a Time Capsule connected to my modem wireless, I can access the internet over WiFi on my mac without issues.
    When I connect my Xbox 360 to the router via ethernet it will not allow me to connect to Xbox live.
    According to some forums people are able to connect their TC with XBOX 360. I can connect to xbox live if I directly plug it into my modem, so it is not anything to do with XBOX itself.
    Does anybody has experience with that stuff?
    Thank you in advance for any help!
    Flo

    Are you sure?
    I am able to connect my XBOX with my wireless router. That works very good.
    But I am not able to realise a connection between my XBOX 360 and my TC. So probably I have to change some configurations on my TC, right? Maybe it is a problem with my IP or DHCP configurations? I have the same problems with my Media Player ASUS O!Play HDP-R1. With wireless router I can connect the media player via ethernet to the internet but it does not work with Time Capsule.
    I am really frustrated. I don't get it.

  • Time Capsule & Xbox 360 over ethernet issues

    I have a Time Capsule connected to my modem, I can access the internet over WiFi on my mac without issues, however when I connect my Xbox 360 to the router via ethernet it will not allow me to connect to Xbox live. What's highly frustrating is that it passes all test apart from the ICMP one. According to some forums, if your receive this then your router is not compatible with xbox live. However this contradicts people being able to connect through their TC on other posts. I can connect to xbox live if I directly plug it into my modem, so it is not anything todo with that side of things.
    Is there any reason why this might be on my TC and how might I go about sorting this problem out?
    Any help much appreciated
    Matt

    Although I also haven't been able to get it working over Wi-Fi yet, I've got it working pretty happily over what is ostensibly ethernet (powerline networking ftw).
    My guess is that the problem you're having is due to your Time Capsule ignoring stuff (as a security measure) that Xbox Live is sending the Xbox, so what I think you need to do is tell your Time Capsule to stop doing that for the Xbox. You do that by getting your Time Capsule to give the Xbox the same IP address every time it connects, and to not block anything sent to that IP address.
    First we need to get the Xbox's MAC address, which you can find either on the back of the Xbox itself, or by going to the System blade on the Xbox Dashboard, selecting Network Settings, Edit Settings, Additional Settings (push the left thumbstick to the right), Advanced Settings, then the MAC address should be displayed.
    Just to be clear, a MAC address has nothing to do with Apple's computers, standing for Media Access Control, and is a quasi-unique code that nearly every network adapter has. We're using it here so your Time Capsule can recognise the Xbox.
    Now you've got the MAC address, open AirPort Utility, select your Time Capsule and click Manual Settings, the Internet toolbar icon, then the DHCP tab. Click the plus button under the DHCP Reservations box, type Xbox 360 (or whatever you want) as the description, and click Continue. Now type the Xbox's MAC address into the MAC Address box, then click the IPv4 box, change the last number from 2 to 35 (so it's something like 10.0.1.35), and click Done.
    Now we have the Xbox getting the same IP from the Time Capsule, we need to tell the Time Capsule to stop filtering stuff that's sent to that IP, to do that, click the NAT tab (inside the Internet section), then "Enable default host at:" and enter 35 as the last two digits (so it matches up with the IP address we put in the IPv4 box earlier). Finally, click Update, and when your Time Capsule has finished restarting, try the connection test on the Xbox again.

  • Time Capsule & XBOX 360

    Has anyone been able to get Time Capsule to work with XBOX 360 live?

    I made a little movie in iMovie about how I got my Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter to receive a wireless connection from my 500 GB Time Capsule. I am pretty sure that this is also compatible with Airport Extreme.
    This is the link to the video:

  • Slow Xbox 360 Wired Connection Speed

    My Xbox 360 Elite console is connected to my home network using a wired connection, but it has a slower speed (gathered using tests on this website) than all of the wireless devices connected to the network. The console achieves about 3 mbps, which is more than 3x slower than what all the wireless devices can achieve.
    Here is a basic network map:
    ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router ---> TV
                                                         |
                                                         v
                                                   Xbox 360
    All wired devices have been labelled
    All wireless devices are connected to either router
    The TV cannot be tested as it does not have an Internet browser
    Can anyone explain why the console achieves a much lower speed than the wireless devices? If so, can a solution be provided?
    Thank you.

    I forgot to mention I recently changed the wiring of the network.
    Old wiring:
    ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router
                                               |                     |
                                               v                     v
                                         Xbox 360              TV
    New & current wiring:
    ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router ---> TV
                                                         |
                                                         v
                                                   Xbox 360
    The old wiring made the Xbox 360 download at ~300 kbps and not able to stream videos (neither could the TV). I don't understand why the change of wiring increased the speed so much.

  • How can i get an xbox 360 to connect to my time capsule via WIRED connection?

    I have a Time Capsule and i need to connect my xbox 360 to it because my stepdad has the network in this house set up crazily. He gets mad if i ask him to change anything because it is how he wants it and it works with EVERYTHING ELSE. I do not have a wireless adapter so i need to connect the xbox to my time capsule via a wired connection
    Thanks =]

    Here is what I would look into.
    Use iCloud and photo stream to upload pictures taken with the iPad.
    Find a remote log in utility, or web based app to then remote to your computer.
    Download the files from photo stream to your time capsule.
    As far as recommending a remote log in utility. I have not experience in that area and would need to do research my self.

  • New Problem:ONT Fixed Xbox 360 dropping connections

    Ok SO After I got a new ont today, connection drops to all of my devices,execept my xbox 360, wired, are good, my 360 randomly disconnects every 15 minutes or so even just sitting on the dashboard, Ports are open, connected directly to the modem, and my dns servers are google dns 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4. Cannot figure this out for the life of me, just my xbox 360.

    Are you saying that the connection drops to your xbox 360 but the other devices stay connected? We only ask this because you mentioned that it disconnects every 15 minutes or so. Is it the farthest away from your router? You may just want to change the wireless channel in the router. It sounds like you may have some potential wireless interference going on.

  • I just replaced the hard drive for my Mac Pro, and I am trying to restore what is on my Time Capsule, but it wont connect, and only is giving me the pinwheel of death. What do i do?

    I just replaced the hard drive for my Mac Pro, and I am trying to restore what is on my Time Capsule, but it wont connect, and only is giving me the pinwheel of death. What do i do?

    You will need to boot from some alternate boot device to accomplish this, if you did not initialize the drive before installing it.
    If you have another Mac, you may be able to use FireWire target disk mode.
    If your MacBook has a DVD reader and you have a Mac OS X Installer/Utilities DVD, such as the one that shipped with it, you can boot from that DVD, answer only the "what Language" question, and wait a quarter minute for the MenuBar to be drawn. Then examine the Utilities menu or the Installer menu and Find Disk Utility.

  • How do I set up the Time Capsule without an internet connection

    How do I set up the Time Capsule as a wireless hard drive without an internet connection.   I am in a office situation in which I cannot access my work network.  I need to be able to share files on the Time Capsule over the wire connection.

    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.

  • Update time capsule, since ipod not connect wifi to time capsule

    Hello,
    Since I update my Time Capsule(7.5.1), I cannont connect my ipod touch to wifi time Capsule.
    message ipod is : impossible de rejoindre le réseau RES_Didier
    My iMac is connected, my PC Windows is connected ans my Apple TV to.
    Only my ipod cannot connect.
    But, if i connect my ipod to an other wifi network it is ok.
    That is only with my time capsule that I cannot connect wifi!!
    Do you know why ? can you help me ? (sorry my english is not very good)
    Thanks
    Didier

    Did you upgrade install Mavericks? I think this can lead to all kinds of issues.. clean install the OS is the only way.
    Do a full factory reset of the TC..
    Use all SMB names.. that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    I strongly recommend when you have trouble.. even different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz. So you can keep track of where the issue is.
    Also use ethernet.. if you have not got ethernet port, buy a Thunderbolt to ethernet (much the preferred) or USB to ethernet.. if thunderbolt is missing or used.
    Open network utility on your computer and find the listing for the TC.
    ie scan via netstat.
    Make sure you have ipv6 turned on to link local.. this is now essential.
    Use the IP address if it is static rather than name.. and try it in full network isolation by ethernet.
    So Go .. Connect to server.
    AFP://10.0.1.1 (at default IP)
    The default password is public.. you will need to type in a password.
    If it fails the TC could be faulty.
    Use ping via the terminal to make sure the network is working.

  • I bught a new Time Capsule 2Tb. I connected it to my internet router. I manege to set it up as base station but when i try to use it with time machine I always get the message "Check your IP addres"? What am I doing wrong? On my computer I have OSX 10.7.5

    I bought a new Time Capsule 2Tb. I connected it to my internet router. I manage to set it up as base station but when i try to use it with time machine I always get the message "Check your IP addres"? What am I doing wrong? On my computer I have OSX 10.7.5

    What IP address does the TC have and what IP does the computer have?
    We need more info as we really have no idea what your network looks like.
    Modem router, model, type of broadband?
    TC setup as bridge or router?
    Is the computer getting internet via the TC?
    Are you using wireless or ethernet?
    Have you set IPv6 correctly to local link in the computer on whichever network client is doing the connection?
    Did this work the first time for backup and has now failed? If so simply reboot the TC. It is a constant bug that the TC is lost to the network.

  • Time Capsule not accepting initial connection

    Hi,
    I've got a 1Tb Time Capsule (original with wireless n or n/g compatible) and three Macs (last old style MacBook Pro, a newish unibody and a Mac Mini), and I'm having trouble with all three Macs connecting wirelessly to the Time Capsule. Basically first connection of a machine fails to find the TC: making the computer sleep and waking it and it then finds the TC immediately. As we are using laptops this is getting a bit irritating having to re-wake the computer each time you want to connect. Any ideas what may be causing this?
    I've tried resets of all hardware and upgrading to latest software. We have recently moved and the Time Capsule has been off for a while (a week). I've used iStumbler and there are a lot of networks around but nothing using the same channel.
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Sam

    I'm not sure this will help, but since no one else had any suggestions for you, I'll offer it anyway. It might help to reset the connection settings on your Macs using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • Time Capsule Degrades Wireless Internet Connection: Help?

    Time Capsule Degrades Wireless Internet Connection: I am in FL using Brighthouse Cable as my internet provider (15MG down). The internet connection speed is slower than a dial up connection when wirelessly connected to my network to my Time Capsule. When I remove the Time Capsule and replace it with Brighthouses Netgear router the internet speed are normal (fast). Additionally, the internet speed is OK when I first hit a website, but the speed degrades rapidly as I access additional web pages. I no longer use my Time Capsule and therefore are not getting my back-up protection. (NOTE: I tried Verizon Fios and had the same problem.) Can anyone help?

    Bought the time capsule in Oct 2013.  I have a Sagemcom 2864 modem from Bell but used through Teksavvy.  The 5 ghz has been flaky until I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 I think.  I had a closer look at it and it appears that the wifi is ok.  I was thrown off by the wifi symbol being all animated in the menu bar.  I was able to ping the time capsule via wifi.  All the status lights on the modem looked ok.  Next time it happens, I'll see if I can get some more details.  Do you know if there's anyway to get some logs from the airport utility?

  • Time Capsule drops wifi/internet connection and flashes amber

    Time Capsule drops wifi/internet connection and flashes amber.  I've tried unplugging it and my modem but it continues to do this every so often.  The time capsule is out in the open, so I don't think it's a heat issue.  It's running firmware 7.7.3.  Anyone else having this issue?  Any suggestions on how to fix it?  It's driving me crazy!

  • Time Capsule not Broadcasting Properly/Connection Timeout

    Help!! Please!! My time capsule's wireless networking capability seems to have gone kaput. I can no longer connect any of my devices to the wireless network. The time capsule wireless network appears in the list of available networks, but none of my devices are able to connect to the network there is a connection timeout each time I attempt to connect. I've tried a hard rest and have reconfigured the time capsule from scratch. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
    Thanks.

    If you connect your Mac to the Time Capsule using an ethernet connection, are you able to open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup?
    If yes, click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Change the Channel setting (it may be on Automatic now) to another setting and jot down the Channel number(s) you are using. Start at the high end of the channels. Try some different settings to see if you can find some clear airspace.
    It may be that you have a neighbor who may have installed a wireless security system and/or cameras.
    Any cordless phones there? Try turning them all off for a period as a test and then restarting your network to see if that makes any difference in your connection ability.
    Assuming that the wireless on the Time Capsule is working properly (it will likely work perfectly if you take it to the Apple store), some kind of interference is likely causing your problems.
    Some time ago, I had issues on my wireless with intermittent slowdowns and stalls. I could not figure out what the problem was until by accident, I noticed my neighbor...across the street....coming out of his house talking on his cordless phone when my wireless crashed. Nothing would work on the wireless.
    It took some coaxing, but I was able to convince him to leave his phone(s) in the house and not use them outside. No problems since.
