VPN with Time Capsule, Linksys router

We are running SLS 10.6.4 on a Mac Mini over Cox business internet with a fixed IP, and we've been trying to get VPN service working on the Mini through our TC. After some finagling I came across this post which describes the lack of L2TP support in the TC, so we bought a Linksys/Cisco WRV210 VPN router. We do want to keep the TC on the network for file sharing.
When setting this up, it would seem to me that the WRV210 should be (or would have to be?) the gateway. However, it appears to be limited in the number of ports that can be forwarded (at least without manually editing its config file; the web interface doesn't show enough for our needs). Or maybe there is a way to use the WRV210 for handling VPN access, while mapping a range of other ports to the TC and then on to the server?
Alternatively, perhaps we can continue using the TC as the gateway, mapping VPN access through the TC to the WRV210?
If anyone else has any experience with this type of setup, feel free to chime in.

Having tried this in the past......the only way that I could ever get the WRT54G to connect correctly was by turning off the wireless security on both the Time Capsule and Linksys device.
Not sure if you want to run an open network.....or even if that will work with newer firmware on the Time Capsule. I believe that I was using 7.4.2 or possiby 7.5.2 at the time.
But, you never know. Maybe another user has a magic wand.
My opinion......life would be tons easier if you added an AirPort Express to the Time Capsule network, and added an Ethernet switch with as many ports as you need....and the connection will run 2-3 times faster or more than the WRT54G can provide.

  • VPN with Time Capsule

    I previously used a USRobotics router with VPN support so that I could look at my security cameras using a web browser on my Iphone.
    Is a VPN connection i.e. server available in the time capsule or my Mobileme account to do the same or do I have to revert to my old router as use the time capsule as a bridge to my LAN. If so will back to my MAC work in this configuration?

    MobileMe, not being an Internet connection provider as such, cannot provide a VPN service. I'm not sure about the Time Capsule; you may want to ask about that in the Time Capsule forum.
    It may also be possible to set up a VPN server in Mac OS X. Asking in the Networking forum in the area appropriate for your version of Mac OS X might yield a useful solution.

  • Backup problem with Time Capsule over Router

    Hello fellas,
    I am facing a back up problem with my TC(2TB) with Time machine. When I try to back up it gets stuck at "preparing backup". However when i directly connect to it via its own wifi, everything works like a charm. I even erased older back ups and created a new one. When I, however, switch back to the router setting (TC connected to a Router and me connecting over wifi) I still do see the erased backup on the right side. When I try accessing them, I get a black window where I should be seen a mirror of the desktop. I can manually (over Finder) add and erase files in the TC. The TC does pick IP and is active.
    I did verify and repair the TC.(Permission tab was grey)
    OS 10.9.5
    TC version: 7.7.3
    Hope you guys can help me.

    Mavericks has a lot of issues with networking.. And it effects TM and the TC more than most things.
    Apple finally fessed up there was some issues.
    OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
    Let me recommend you follow exactly the same list as in this thread.
    I just updated Safari 7.1 and OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 now my Time Machine is not backing up and I don't know how to fix it.
    In your situation there is a couple of other things to add.
    Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only.
    I am not sure how your router is handling ipv6 or bonjour for that matter.. both are necessary to have TM work.
    If that doesn't solve it..
    Use Finder to force the connection to the TC to AFP protocol.
    From top menu, Go, Connect to Server.
    Type AFP://TCgenx.local (where you replace TCgenx with your nice new short name). local is the default domain in the TC and it can help to specify as your router is probably using a different domain.
    Even better is to use the TC IP address.. but it has to be static.. so you will need to set it by dhcp reservation in the main router.
    AFP://192.168.0.100 (replace with the actual TC IP you can get it from the summary screen in airport utility but must be static).
    If you still have issues post back more details.
    What router are you using make and model?
    If it is not apple compatible it may simply never work.. some routers do not handle specific apple protocols like airplay or bonjour and this affects how it works with TM.

  • Can I use Extreme with Time Capsule to extend my gateway router and still use Capsule as "external HD"?

    Bought Airport Extreme with Time Capsule version 7.7.2 with 2 Terabytes Feb 2014. It was probably an expensive mistake, but after searching for weeks for a external hard drive, it seemed reasonably priced to just use the capsule as my external hard drive for the price I paid. Spend an hour with Apple Care to get it working-had to use ethernet cord to my iMac OS 10.8.5 processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5. I did not "need" the airport as we have a Winstream SAGEMCOM modem/router (Sagemfast 1704) But, I was desperate and about to lose my old external hard drive with literally had 3 computers worth of information on it. It had already "died" once, but got it back, so once I got the airport/capsule and was told I just paid for an expensive HD, I had no time to take it back to get something else-I had to transfer my info right then. We (Apple Care) could not get it to work as a HD wirelessly. It may be because it was being set up for the first time; I don't know. I was hoping I would get a transcript of all done so I could do it myself if needed later on, but when I looked at my email-they didn't do that. (Don't know if that is normal, I was used to other "techs" sending the email.) So now I really want to try to move my airport and "extend" our wifi as it said on the "box" that you could do...
    Our Windstream router had to be placed in the lower level at the bottom of our stairs. The stairway is "open" (no door going down the steps). I want to place the Extreme at the top of the stairs so that we can use some things in our offices or not have Netflix on our TV lose connectivity when we all are on our computers.
    I know I need an ethernet cord to connect directly with the modem/router to the Airport Extreme.  I don't know what I will need to do after I connect it as it was so goofy when we set it up the first time (With the app it would disappear and not show up..) But my biggest concern is will I be able to still use the capsule as my hard drive and will I be able to do it wirelessly? (Even with it connected by ethernet, every day I have to re-connect to it before I can click on anything on the hard drive. It never shows up on it's own as my old HD did. That drives me nuts.) I do back up using the Time Capsule feature as well. I appreciate any help.

    I am still willing to plug in the ethernet cord to the modem/router and try it IF I was able to get a step by step instructions..
    Connecting the Time Capsule (TC) to the existing Winstream by Ethernet would be the basis for a roaming type network. This type of network allows you to basically "roam" with a wireless client and connect to either router. This, in essence, would provide you with an "extended" wireless network. The Apple routers can work with just about any manufacturers' routers in this fashion.
    The keys to having a successful roaming network are as follows:
    The routers must be interconnected by Ethernet.
    Both routers will broadcast their own Wi-Fi network, but MUST use the same Network Name (or SSID), wireless security type (WPA or WPA2), and wireless password.
    The TC MUST be reconfigured as a bridge.
    Connect a single Ethernet cable between one of the Winstream's LAN ports and the WAN (circle of dots) port on the TC.
    The basic steps are:
    Power-down the Winstream.
    Perform a "factory default" reset on the TC. Leave the TC powered-down after the reset has completed.
    Connect the TC to the Winstream using an Ethernet cable.
    Power-up the Winstream. Wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it to initialize.
    Power-up the TC. Wait at least 5 minutes to allow it to initialize. (Note: Since we just reset the TC it will be performing as a wireless router that will be broadcasting an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN)
    Connect your computer to the Winstream's Wi-Fi network.
    Run the AirPort Utility. select the TC, and then, select Edit.
    Go to the Network tab.
    Change the Router Mode option to: Off (Bridge Mode)
    Select the Wireless tab.
    Verify that the Network Mode option is set to: Create a wireless network
    For Wireless Network Name, enter the Wi-Fi network name used by the Winstream.
    For Wireless Security, select the equivalent security type that is used by the Winstream. (Note: Use "WPA/WPA2 Personal" if the Winstream is using WPA/TKIP. Use "WPA2 Personal" is the Winstream is using WPA2/AES.
    For Wireless Password, enter the same password used by the Winstream.
    Select Update and allow the TC to restart.
    As far as your external HD, yes you should still be able to use it as before.

  • Linksys WAG160N with Time Capsule ?

    Does anyone out there use a Linksys WAG160N ADSL2+ modem, with Time Capsule connected to it wirelessly, or even hardwired? I'd love to compare settings 'cos I can't get things to work.
    Also, if someone does have the Linksys WAG160N and has successfully updated firmware from a Mac, would like to hear from them. I'm trying to update the Linksys firmware from version 1.00.07 to 1.00.09, but process just doesn't want to complete.
    Cheers

    First, WET11 only support WEP, no WPA!
    To get TC to use WEP, you must run it as 802.11b/g only network. (You can enable it by opt-click the radio mode list box in the manual setup) And then WEP will appear under the security option.
    I had one, and decided I don't want to run the Apple base station in b/g mode only, so I purchases an airport express in the end.

  • Modem/Router to use with Time Capsule

    Hi forum,
    I would like to work around a DOUBLE-NAT problem that I am encountering in my business network.
    Currently, my ADSL modem/router is an Orange Livebox which creates its own internal network (192.168.1.x).
    My Time Capsule is connected through ethernet to this LiveBox in DHCP/NAT mode. It creates a second internal network (10.0.1.x). All the rest of the network equipment is attached wirelessly or by ethernet to the TC network. My goal is to manage the network (ports, dhcp addresses, etc.) through my Time Capsule, not through the Livebox. That is why I configured TC in DHCP/NAT mode.
    The downside is that it creates a Double-Nat problem, because each packet is going through both networks (192.168.x.x and 10.0.x.x). Lately, Apple Support is telling me that this Double-Nat issue could be the cause for failing to answer iPhone calls directly from my MacBook Pro (new feature of Yosemite) when connected in my business network, where it works perfectly when connected from home in where there is no Double-Nat issue.
    I contacted Orange Livebox technical support and asked wether it was possible to de-activate the router portion of the Livebox, at least the DHCP/NAT portion of the box since I would not mind to keep the built-in firewall of the box. But the answer was no. It looks like I cannot turn off the router portion of the Livebox at all, so my only solution for them is to enable the bridge mode on TC, which I still don't want.
    I was told to buy a ADSL2 modem and replace my Livebox with it, so TC would effectively become the only router on the network. That looks to me like a satisfying solution (at least on paper).
    Would any of you know and recommend a particular brand/model to work with Time Capsule. Ideally, what i would like this modem/router to do is :
    Modem part: connect with my provider in ADSL2 and provides my credential to establish the connection
    Router part:
    DHCP/NAT = OFF
    built-in firewall = ON
    I assume it would be the best way to get the best of my Time Capsule (802.11n - 3rd Gen).
    Thanks for your help or advices on the matter,
    Lanceloz

    I believe I followed your structure step by step. And here is what I got (see attached files). Hence my question about the TC hardware and software version that you are using.

  • Want to migrate AirPort router with Time Capsule to AP/Time Capsule ONLY

    My office's AirPort with Time Capsule is currently configured as the Internet Gateway. I want to switch it over to act as a WiFi Access Point (and yes keep the Time Capsule) ONLY, as I will be using a Cisco router as the Internet Gateway. I assume what I want to use to do that is "Bridge Mode". Am I correct?
    Second part of this, will the users that are using the Time Capsule still be able to connect to the Time Capsule without losing any backup data, as I will be changing the IP address of the AirPort (currently set to 10.0.0.1, will move it to say 10.0.0.10)? Will there need to be anything done on the individual Macs, or will it automatically update the IP address of where the Time Capsule is?
    I hope this makes sense.

    Yes, just select under the network tab.. off bridge mode.
    The TC plugged into the CIsco router via its WAN port.
    Although that is convention rather than necessary.. in bridge all ports are LAN.. the router function is removed.

    Makes good sense.. the name of the TC is the basis by which the computer finds it.. not its IP address unless you have actually used IP manually in finder.
    You may find it difficult at first.. all the computers will need a reboot so they get IP address from the Cisco router and not from TC.. once that goes forward.. everything should be fine..
    If you run into trouble, it is not hard.. See A4 here.

    Reset TM and simply go through the process to locate the backup target. TM will then locate the old backup.

  • Using Airport Express as separate wifi network vs extender with Time Capsule?

    Hello all.  I recently converted my home computer network from Windows/PC based to an iMac with Time Capsule.  On my previous setup, I had a Cisco/Linksys router with wifi, and I also had two Airport Expresses in separate areas of the house where the Linksys had a weak signal.  Obviously, I had the Airport Expresses set up as "separate" wifi networks, as they could not be used as network extenders with the Linksys.  This setup seemed to work really good, as the 3 wifi networks provided good blanket coverage in all parts of the house.  Each network also seemed to "hand-off" to the other pretty well, meaning that Airport Express 1 would show as the active network when you moved far enough away from the Linksys (or insert any of the network names here, even though I'm pretty sure that the device accessing the network has more to do with this than the networks themselves).  In particular, the speeds that I got from the Airport Expresses actually eclipsed the speeds that I would get from the Linksys wifi.
    My issue is that after I converted everything, I left the Airport Expresses as "separate networks" and essentially removed the Linksys/Cisco router and replaced it with the Time Capsule.  So I still have 3 separate wifi networks, just like before, with the Time Capsule network taking the place of the Linksys wifi network.  While the Linksys and the Airport Expresses seemed to co-exist together nicely, I get the feeling that the TC and the AEs are somehow working against each other or at least competing with each other for bandwidth.  For example, if I have my iPhone right beside my iMac and TC, and I run a speed test on the iPhone using the TC wifi network, I get download and upload speeds in the range that I am expecting (30-40 mbps download).  However, when I walk down the hallway to the other end of the house, the TC tends to remain the dominant wifi network, even when I am in the same room with one of the AEs (this is where they used to "hand off" nicely between networks).  When you run a speed test in this location still on the TC wifi, the speed drops down to 5-7 mbps, and worse, I believe the signal becomes inconsistent because webpages and data often seem to be freezing in the middle of downloading.  I understand that the distance from the TC is causing this, because my solution has been to manually switch from the TC to the closest AE, and that fixes the issue.  Run a speed test after I manually switch to the closest AE when I am in the same room as an AE, and the speeds pop back up to 30-40 mbps.
    My question is this:  would switching the AEs to "extenders" of the TC wifi network help this issue?  Honestly, my laziness was one reason that I did not do this when I setup the TC initially, because I have several devices that access the AE wifi networks that I'd have to update with the new network name and password.  Everything was working great before, and I just didn't want to upset the apple cart.  But if I have created an unfriendly environment between the TC and the two AEs, I certainly have no problem making the change now.  I just wasn't sure if making this change would fix my problem or not.  I know it's a mundane thing, but I'd like to be able to roam the house without continuously having to manually switch between wifi networks to get a consistent signal.
    Sorry if this is a simple issue.  I am admittedly a newbie with the TC and its interaction with the AEs. 
    Thanks in advance!!

    It is not a simple issue.
    Exactly which method works best is going to take some experimentation.
    The way you are trying to set it up as a roaming network is generally considered the best.. but the devices like iphones do not hand off neatly.
    It is interesting that they in fact used to hand off better using the Linksys.. which could be due to its poorer range. The new TC having so much better range is causing the phones to not swap "towers" to the local express.
    Test it with a Mac laptop.. as generally they do hand off better.
    I cannot quite figure out if you are using roaming correctly. All the wireless should have identical names, with identical security setting and passwords.
    The only thing that should be different is wireless channels on each item. And you are likely just using auto anyway.
    So each device is creating a wireless network. And for 2.4ghz one should be channel 1, then another channel 6 and another channel 11. For 5ghz it will be same idea but there are more channels available.
    When you extend wireless, everything runs the same channel. But the wireless speed is reduced. You must disconnect ethernet to each of the expresses.. and the problem is your 30-40mbps will reduce permanently to 15-20mbps for all clients. So take your choice.. 15-20mbps for all clients forced to double hop is better than 5-7mbps which you experience now when you walk around.. although I am not sure how much browsing you do whilst walking. You may need to compromise which is the better out of several not great alternatives.
    I would have a test.. which is wrong btw.. but I have heard that it works.
    In your roaming network at the present time. Try setting each router to a manual wireless channel.. and fix all of them the same. So for instance, set 2.4ghz to channel 11. Try fixing the 5ghz as well, say the TC is defaulting to 149, it might not actually respond to manual wireless channels.. you will need to test this.. say set to 36 or 40 and see if the TC is actually changed.. if not just set all the expresses to 149 as well. What you are doing is trying to reinforce the wireless in each area.. but this is actually wrong. So all will have same wireless name and same security wpa2 personal is the only valid one.. and all the same password.
    Test with a few clients and see if the results give you decent local speeds as well as better roaming.. once you decide which to do, then you will need to change all the clients.

  • How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?

    How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?  I have an ISP provided wireless Router that has to remain as the base station.  I am able to join my 1/2TB Airport Extreme and Airport Express to the network, but I can't access/use Time Machine.

    One option would be to connect the Time Capsule (TC) to the ISP-provided wireless router by Ethernet. You can then configure the for a roaming network. Then, depending on what your goal is for the AirPort Express, you can either: 1) Add it to roaming network, 2) Configure the TC & the Express for an "extended" network, or 3) Configure the Express to "join" the roaming network for AirPlay.

    You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable.  If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it.  Time Machine can access it either way.

  • I have a 2T apple time capsule and router. I bought a Hauppauge WinTV extender which allows regular TV to be broadcasted on a PC. The program allows streaming to a Mac or iPad, iPhone, etc. I need to open a port on the router to allow this to work.

    I have a 2T apple time capsule and router. I bought a Hauppauge Win TV extender which allows TV to be broadcasted on a PC. The program allows for the TV to be streamed on a Mac, Iphone, Ipad. I need to access the router set up options to open a port on the router to allow this program to stream the TV to the Mac and Iphone. I do not know how to access the apple time capsule router to change the settings to open a port on the router. help please.

    Firstly you do not need to open ports to stream locally.. there is no port block in local LAN.. only WAN to LAN. So there is a good chance it is not needed at all..
    Opening ports on the TC I strongly recommend a v5 airport utility.. you can download one for windows if you don't have a Mac.. iOS version of the utility I am not sure but it will not work to do complex things.
    In the v5 utility go to the NAT area, and click on port mappings.
    Sorry I don't have a screen shot at the moment of the actual mapping page.. but simply put the IP of the device you want opened and the port.
    There are plenty of posts with this info if you google.
    But as noted.. this is purely WAN to LAN.. nothing else.

  • Best modem to use with time capsule?

    I'm having Time Warner Cable (TWC) come into install internet only on Thursday.  I want to attach my new 3tb timecapsule to the network (which I just purchased so unused so far) and use as my wireless gateway and for wireless backup.  TWC has a list of recommended modems we can use.  I picked the motorola sb6141 but I saw a few posts on other threads here that is causes problems with Time Capsule over time and the speed diminishes.  Of their list, would someone recommend one of these other options instead? Or should I just go with the motorola?  Am not a tech savvy person, but can work with detailed instructions.  So whatever would give me the least headaches?   Thanks much!

    I have a brand new macbook pro (2 months old) so i'm assuming I have the latest of everything.  I run the software update regularly.

    You might want to read the discussion started in Feb 2014 with the title "What is the most reliable modem for my Apple Time Capsule." TWC was mentioned by two responders.
    I am no technician and therefore cannot help beyond this referral. However,
    I have a similar question about which modem to use with a Time Capsule. My ISP is Cox Communications, whose website suggests similar modem brand/types as mentioned in your list above, but also adds two Cisco models that are compatible with Cox internet. The Cisco models are DPC3000 (Preferred) and DPC3010 (Ultimate). I would like to get the DPC3010 but would like confirmation that the TC WiFi will work as flawlessly as it has been, while connected to a Linksys with DOCSIS 2.0 technology. Thanks for any advice.

  • Wireless comm problem with time capsule or airport extreme using iMac G5

    I did buy a Time Capsule and an iMac 20" G5 January 2009...Installed all the components and created a wireless network...MacBook, iPhone and iPod Touch connected perfectly...iMac connected but started to drop communications with Time Capsule...Safari, iTunes and other internet-access programs had problems to connect 100% with the web...After reviewing all the post here and "testing/trying" several parameters, I found out that you need to define a WPA/WPA2 password protection with more than 13 characters...FYI, Time capsule is configured using 802.11n (b/g compatible)...

    Further to Bob's comments..
    A Gen1 TC will be using marvel wireless chip and your 2008 and 2010 Macbook will use atheros and/or broadcom cards.. Just open your system profiler and look for info on the airport. We find the mixture of wireless chipsets especially older draft N and later N products can give very varied results.
    The very fact you are linking at 270 and not 300mbps shows some reduction from theoretical max speed.. and really to get over 100mbps with any wireless you need perfect setup.. matched wireless chips etc.
    Do a test uploading and downloading a file to the TC to see if the LAN speed is better than internet speed.
    In reality I think you are doing especially well.. we see loads of people complaining about slow internet here who are getting less than 10% of the speed they get direct when routed through the TC. And on most occasions the limit in speed is not really going to affect what you do, as the real links to the internet are not that fast.

  • I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing wifi network

    I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing BT wifi network even though it is there with a good signal strength. The Time Capsule is connected to a Netgear router via ethernet.

    You will need to start over on the setup of the Time Capsule as follows:
    Disconnect any Ethernet cables that might be connected to the Time Capsule, but leave it powered on
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 8-10 seconds and release. The reset button is located next to the AC power socket.
    Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the Netgear to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.  The Ethernet cable must remain connected at all times.
    Click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a setting of New AirPort Base Station
    Click on Time Capsule
    The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule on your screen.
    That will get the setup wizard going. It will take a minute to analyze the settings, then display a screen that looks like this, except you will see a picture of the Time Capsule
    Network Name..........Type in the exact name that the Netgear wireless is using
    Base Station.............Type in a name that you want to call the Time Capsule.  Use something short and simple. Mine is TC, for example
    Password..................Type in the exact password that the Netgear wireless requires
    Verify.........................Verify the Password again
    Click Next
    The setup wizard will configure everything for you automatically.  When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    That's it.  Now you have one big "extended" network.  Technically, this is called a "roaming" network.

  • Clear net connectivity with time capsule/home network

    So Chicago has a new ISP - Clear. It is a wireless provider that boasts download speeds up to 12mbps. I have been using ATT DSL elite pro with time capsule as my wireless hub. I have extended my network via airport express and have two that power speakers/home entertainment system.
    I have it up and running and connected directly from their router to my iMac. I would like to attach the motorola wireless router to my current home network that runs between the timecapsule and two airport expresses.
    Any help would be appreciated. As well your opinions on choice of wireless ISPs vs home dsl line.
    Thanks
    Jenn

    From your description, it sounds like you could swap the Clear modem and the AT&T modem/router. Power down your entire network for a moment. Then start the Clear modem first and let it run for 3-4 minutes, then start the Time Capsule, then Expresses and computers.
    If you get a blinking amber light on the Time Capsule, check your settings as follows using AirPort Utility. It's located as follows: Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup and then click the Internet icon at top of the setup page
    At the bottom of the next page, look for the Connection Sharing setting. If I understand the Clear info correctly, you would set this to "Share a public IP address"
    I notice that Clear has online tech support, so you make need to refer to them as well. Please post back on your progress.
