Why my Time Capsule 2TB(4Gen)always running in 130M speed not 300M in MacBook air?
Restart is no use。。。（iam chinese ， English is poor）
Both the mac and PC running in 130M，prove that the notebook is OK， the problem must be the Time Capsule...
In a way yes, the problem is the Time Capsule cannot go faster than 130mbit at 2.4ghz.. only using 5ghz can you get 300mbit or more.. on gen 4 with 3 stream wireless.. but Apple deliberately limited 2.4ghz to 20mhz single channel width.

Why does Time Capsule hate older Macs running Tiger??
Time Capsule has ruined my network and my bloody Saturday!
I have never had this much trouble with an Apple product (at least since OS 8)...and I just waited on hold for over 64 minutes and then got disconnected. Sorry if this is jumbled, but it's been one lousy day!!
I got my Time Capsule, and I was looking forward to setting it up for backup once I got past the "easy" part of the router setup...uh huh...easy...for my new iMac (running 10.5.2) , no prob. For my 2002 Power Mac running 10.4.11 and an original AirPort card, another story. Just as well that my old PowerBook G4 is still at work.
After some struggles, I gave up setting up the more secure WPA password for the G4 and reverted to a far less secure WEP password. At least that way I could get the G4 connected wirelessly.
If I want to access drives connected to my G4 from the iMac, no problems; I can also see the Time Capsule drive from the G4; however I cannot for the life of me get the G4 to successfully mount the iMac (which was no problem before I switched routers).
I was using a dLink router (which I gave away because I thought I wouldn't need it anymore), and getting online wirelessly while connecting my iMac to the old Power Mac G4 via Gigabit Ethernet for file sharing on occasion. When I first set up the Time Capsule, I tried to keep the ethernet cable connected directly between the two machines (as I had successfully with the dlink). While the iMac could mount the G4 readily, the G4, despite seeing the iMac, couldn't. Even in iChat using Bonjour, the G4 could receive messages and send messages back to the iMac (in an established chatroom), but it would always fail if I tried to send a "private" message...
sigh I just tried again...I always just had 169.1.1.2 and 169.1.1.3 as manual IP's for my ethernet connection, while mainintaining wireless connections to router (and internet); never a problem...now, even with that &*?&! time Capsule completely out of the loop, the G4 refuses to connect to the iMac...simply won't do it (even when it sees it!)...now because of the snowstorm in Canada, can't even reach Apple...nice real nice...wish I never heard of Time Capsule...
Does anybody have any way to work around this crap??? This is ridiculous!
Message was edited by: Mark HoloubekWell I hade so much trouble to change my AP Express and when it arrives, my TC... to put my macs in a subnet. And that's true, I had to create a new network profile. It seems there was a problem with the normal one, but I can't say from where.
The problem I still have is that it cannot memorize one time for all the device order. It's always changing and gives me troubles. -
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. -
Why does wireless on my Time Capsule (2TB, 3rd Gen) drop the wireless network now?
Starting a couple of weeks ago, my Apple Time Capsule (2TB, 3rd Gen) has been dropping the wireless network almost daily. I end up pulling the power cord to restart it. I've had the device for what I think has to be about a year and a half already, and it's been working flawlessly until now. I have it on 802.11N (dual-band), using WPA2, with an average of about 7-8 client devices at any one time throughout our home. The problem doesn't appear to be any one client, since all lose connectivity at the very same time. The Time Capsule LED is still green when it's down, and again restarting it solves the problem. The device is out in a well ventilated area, and doesn't feel like its overheating. Devices using Ethernet to connect are unaffected (other than losing visibility to wireless network elements). It can occurn at any time, day or night, seemingly at random. The Airport Utilty advises that I have the latest firmware version (7.5.2).
Anyone have any idea whats going on? Having similar problems? Fix, workaround, suggestion?Try setting the wireless to manual and fixed channels.. the auto channel swapping does cause issues.. I would also give different names to 2.4ghz and 5ghz so you know clearly which wireless you are connected to.
But sometimes they do just go bad.. power supply is not robust. They do become unreliable. -
I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro....
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that. -

Time Capsule 2TB vs. Netgear WNDR3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless Router
Hey everyone, I just bought the Time Capsule 2TB since I was running out of space at home and wanted a solution for both PC and MAC machines. Upon installation I learned that the TC can actually be my Wireless Router! Right? For some reason I never knew it could do this - I thought it could just be a wireless harddrive.
Ok, so I already had a wireless router (the Netgear WNDR3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless Router). So my questions are the following:
1) Is the TC a completely safe and equal replacement for the Netgear Wireless Router that I have?
2) Currently the TC is setup as a wireless HD on my network (where the Netgear is the router) and the transfer speeds I am seeing are pretty darn slow! I am assuming it is because the data needs to go from LAPTOP -> Router -> TC. Right? So my question is, if the TC is setup as the actual wireless router, then would the data transfers be faster? Since I would only have to go from LAPTOP -> TC to store the data.
One more side question regarding the TC and connecting a printer:
3) If the printer has scanning capabilities, then where does this scanned document file go when the printer is connected to the TC ?
Thanks for your help!
JohnJohn, welcome to the discussions!
I can provide a few thoughts and hopefully, others will as well.
"1) Is the TC a completely safe and equal replacement for the Netgear Wireless Router that I have?"
It appears to offer essentially the same features and performance at a glance. If you are using ethernet devices, the TC has 3 LAN ports, while there are 4 on the Netgear.
"So my question is, if the TC is setup as the actual wireless router, then would the data transfers be faster?"
I think it will be about the same. You could of course hook up the TC and try it, but I doubt that you would notice any measurable difference.
"3) If the printer has scanning capabilities, then where does this scanned document file go when the printer is connected to the TC ?"
Assuming that your printer is compatible with the TC you will be able to print, but advanced functions such as copying, scanning, maintenance, etc. will not work. You will need to connect your all-in-one directly to your computer if you need these other services. -
New Time Capsule 2Tb does not do FULL backup
I've been using a 500Gb USB drive and decided to upgrade to a Time Capsule 2Tb.
Installation goes without a problem. Everything the manual says should happen, happens. So far so good.
Starting Time Machine, I'm asked if I want to replace the previous Time Machine or use both. I select replace.
Using an ethernet cable to speed the process, Time Machine starts making the initial backup. This should be full.
However, after it finished - no apparent error messages, Time Machine just closed on its own - I decided to check that some of my most important files had been backed up. I have 3 VMs. Only 1 had been backed up!
I'm assuming there will be other files that haven't been backed up. But why isn't this a FULL backup??It is all the information that was backed up in the first one. After it started backing up after the second time I deleted that .plist file, it only backed up 4MB...it seems to be doing that now.
Edit: an interesting error seen in the time machine widget is "Could not mount recovery partition" -
my computer is macbook white with Mac OS X (10. 6.8), will i able to use the new Airport Time Capsule 2TB and work properly with Time Capsule on my computer to back up wirelessly?
And what does it mean "to administrate" because it was written in requirement of the Airport Time Capsule 2TB ?You must use a Mac running Lion (10.7.5), Mountain Lion or Mavericks to be able to set up the Time Capsule and make any changes to the settings.
A recent version iPhone or iPad could also be used for this task.
From the Specifications on the Time Capsule:
Setup and Administration
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3 -
How to extend mobile wifi LTE with 2013 AirPort Time Capsule 2TB
At my home Im using HUAWEI E5776 4G/LTE mobile wifi for the internet/wifi connection and its working perfectly
Recently I bought 2013 AirPort Time Capsule 2TB, and Im trying to extend HUAWEI E5776 4G/LTE wifi connection with this Airport Time Capsule
Im using iMac airport utility but it seems there was a "crash" when I had choose the extending option, As it went nowhere
Does this airport can only be used with internet cable ?
I also have an old version of Airport Extreme which i can actually extend HUAWEI E5776 4G/LTE mobile wifi connection
I assume perhaps there is something need to be updated?
Other questions are
- iPhoto, would it be possible or "wise" to have all of my pictures in this airport and all of my Apple products can access it?
- iTunes, the same questions As above
because i get tried to have "double/triples or more" iPhoto/iTunes libraries in every of my iMac, MacAir, Macmini etc
Thanks for your helpThe instructions for upgrade install of DD-WRT are very clear.. and simple although you should always take care. I read the instructions and follow them.. It might seem like obvious but 90% of the issues people get themselves into is caused by not reading the instructions.
DIR-632 has a set of specific instructions.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/D-Link_DIR-632
Follow them to the letter deviating neither to the left or the right.
And good results will follow.
As with any products in the domestic realm.. some are excellent .. some average and some stink real bad.
I have dealt with rotten products from all the major companies. Netgear still have plenty of stinkers out there.
Any universal wireless repeater should work.. be careful though with some products are actually not UNIVERSAL. I do take great care again to find out if people can use the Netgear with products from another brand. All wireless is voodoo .. wireless across brands is like voodoo plus plus.
My current Asus router is one of the best I have owned .. RT-AC66U.. far superior to what went before.
And I usually avoid dlink like the plague, but it is important to realise that amongst the dross there can still be specks of gold. -
Time Capsule 2tb Upstream Problem
I have a Time Capsule 2TB and when it is connected to my network in Bridge Mode it hoses my network as it is sending something upstream which casues my network to slow down as it clogs my pipeline.
I have also tried it as a main router from my cable modem a Motorola SB6121 and the same problem.
The upstream problem seems to appear about 30mins after being hooked up and also after a complete reset of my network.
I have reset the time capsule and believe I have all the right settings. Does anyone have any ideas? Do I just need to get rid of this unit?If you want to use ethernet then you can turn off wireless.. yes.
Just fill me in .. does the cable modem have wireless.. I didn't think it was even a router.. sorry I have not come across that model except in these discussions where they certainly have given people trouble.. that is worth a look btw.. is the modem itself the issue?? ie the combo of the TC and the SB6121.
Did the issue start after a recent firmware update to the TC.. or always been there?
So if I am understanding when the TC unit is doing a Time Machoine backup it slows the internet and network down even in bridge mode?
TM backup can use all the bandwidth.. and the Mac will not give any priority to internet over local network. So yes, TM can cause severe network slowdown.. it is local though.. not internet as such that is the problem.
How many computers do you have connected to the TC and using wireless?? How many doing TM backup?
Remember wireless is a shared media.. it has a max speed of say 60mbps real world.. and however many clients connect all share the bandwidth. So even one computer on the network doing TM and worse 2 at the same time.. will quickly stop network functioning.
So test.. turn off TM in all the computers.. if that doesn't fix it then you need to go deeper into the problem and figure out what is the cause. -
How to use AirPort Time Capsule 2TB as an external storage hard drive only?
I have a new AirPort Time Capsule 3TB, now I want to use my AirPort Time Capsule 2TB as an external storage hard drive only, how do I it?
I would like to connect the AirPort Time Capsule 2TB directly to my Mac Pro. using OS X 10.7.5.
I have erase disk and reset the 2TB to factory default, after that, I cannot make it to connect to my Mac. Please help.The 2TB Time Capsule needs to connect to your 3TB Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
Connect from a LAN <--> port on the 3 TB Time Capsule to the WAN "O" port on the 2 TB Time Capsule and configure the 2TB Time Capsule in Bridge Mode and turn off the wireless function on the device as well.
Once that is done, you can connect your Mac directly to the 2TB Time Capsule using another Ethernet cable, or your Mac can connect to the network using the normal wireless network, if you prefer. -

I am a first time user of the new airport extreme time capsule 2TB. I use a macbook pro and imac. I installed the router today and got on wirelessly. BUT I cannot get my 2 printers that were previously wireless to find the router signal. The worked fine on my current set up OS Mounitain Lion 10.8.4. Apple tells me it is the printer mfr issue and printer companies tell me it is apple issue. Any help appreciated.

Arguably, they're both right.
Changing your router changes everything, so your best course of action is to research the respective printer's documentation and determine how to reset them to factory default condition. Then, add them again using System Preferences > Print & Scan.
For that, I recommend you first "reset the printing system" according to these instructions: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system. Its instructions for Lion are identical to those for Mountain Lion.
As the article states, it will remove all your existing printers, leaving the Mac's printing system in a similar "factory default" condition ready for you to create a new print queue for each printer, which you should probably do.
Apple's printing support documents contain a great deal of redundancy, but this one may be a good place to start: OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer to print wirelessly -
Time Capsule 2TB not backing up my MacBook Pro anymore
I'm having a bit of a problem with my Time Capsule.
I use this Time Capsule to backup my MacBook Pro only. So far it was working and backing up without a problem since September 1, 2010.
I didn't use my MacBook Pro on a daily basis as usual, just a few minutes just to check email and then power down, for two weeks, so no backup was taken and if during that time if I was using it and the backup started I cancel it.
Now three days ago, I decided it was time to let the backup finish as usual, but now I got an error message that my time machine disc wasn't available so the backup was delayed.
I tough that this was caused by a low connectivity or a WIFI interference, so I decided to take it and connect it directly to the Time Capsule via Ethernet.
I started a backup, but after a few MB copied, the backup seems to stall, nothing gets copied and I get the SBBOD. So I forced the control panel to close and started again, same result.
Rebooted the computer, try again, copied a little more and then stops, the blinking light stops and now the computer freezes.
I deactivated Time Machine, re activate same result.
Found some links on the net, try the suggestions, no luck.
So I decided to erase my Time Machine, and nothing changed, still stops sometimes after a few MB, other times after 1Go of Data, the max I got was 2,5Go, then the system freezes, I have to hard boot my mac.
I decided to try with an external HD connected to my MacBook Pro via FireWire 400 and it did a complete backup of my mac (100GB) without a problem and no frozen mac.
I tried again on the hard drive on the Time Capsule, and again the mac froze and I got just 2GO of data to be backed up.
This is not working either via Wi-Fi or Wired connection. The result is the same, frozen Mac after some data is backed up.
Before I erased the Time Machine drive, I mounted the .sparcebundle drive and did a repair and no error were detected.
Since my Time Capsule is no longer under warranty, I open it, and connected the drive to my Mac Pro via USB SATA adapter and started a drive diagnose with disk utility, an error were detected with the drive and I applied the repair. Formatted the drive and put it back into the Time Capsule.
Tried again to do a full backup of my MacBook Pro but same result, the computer froze, no backup was done.
I started a new backup of my Mac Pro into the Time Capsule and via Ethernet and so far still backing up (a lot of data 300GB and still going) without any problem or a hang or frozen computer. I decided not to stop this backup not to corrupt anything on my Mac Pro.
I don't know what to do, I know for sure that it is not the Time Capsule, it's something on the MacBook Pro but what? A bad configuration, somewhere on my MacBook Pro.
I'm new into Macs and my knowledge of debugging mac is very small. I don't know what to look for and where. And certainly I don't want to erase my MacBook Pro Hard Drive or clean install Snow Leopard.
Does anybody have a clue of what this may be.
What should I do to clean any reference on my MacBook Pro to this time capsule and start all over again? I don't know what to do.
Thank you for your help.I think I found the culprit!!! Yes I know it's basic to check, but once you're headed in a direction you forgot about all the rest. We're all humans after all.
But maybe my error will help other not to repeat or made the same mistake I did.
I deactivated Sophos Anti-Virus and I added my Time Capsule to the Exclusion List.
So far I passed the 2.5GB of data copied that always made my mac freeze.
Going to 13.50GB and still going, I'll check post an update if everything completes in a normal way.
Thanks to Jolly Giant and Pondini for their help.
Check next post for updates.
