Wireless camera with time capsule

So I was looking at getting a wireless camera for my house. It's the Linksys WVC80N, which is a wireless camera that does not require a computer to view footage. You can access the camera from any computer in the world as long as you have the IP address.
I was wondering if anyone new if the time capsule was able to receive the video footage from the camera wirelessly and store it in the terabyte it has. I also have another external terabyte hard drive attached to it, which would be the better place for the footage.
Essentially the time capsule would have to be able to do FTP and I don't know if it does???? Or my mobileme account with online storage????

Tesserax-
Sorry it took so long for an update but this project got put on hold, as I had the whole summer to figure this one out. I got the camera to work and recognize the time capsule as a Samba device. I even got it to store the video footage on an attached 1TB drive I have attached to the time capsule, so I don't waste the space on it.
Unfortunately I cannot figure out a way to get the camera to work unless my laptop is on and opened. I was hoping to be able to take my computer to work during these operations.
Perhaps I'll get a cheap laptop to act as the server so I can take my computer to work. I really thought this would work without the computer in the hose. Perhaps I misunderstood the specs of the camera and the time capsule.
Thanks again for all of the help.

How can i extend a wireless network with time capsule

How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule? the router is connected on the bottom floor. want to boost the signal to a home office on the top floor, four flights up. connect time capsule via ethernet cable to iMac on 4th floor? Do I have to start a second wifi network or can I set it to just boost the one I have? thank you

How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule?
It all depends on what you mean by "extend".
If you plan to "extend" by connecting the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using a wired Ethernet cable, this can be accomplished.
If you were hoping to connect the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using wireless only, unfortunately the Time Capsule and Verizon products are not compatible for that purpose.
Check with Verizon to see if they offer an "extender" or "repeater" that could be located very close to the Time Capsule.
This would provide both more wireless coverage and also allow you to connect the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable from the "extender" or "repeater".

Painfully slow wireless connection with Time Capsule

I have recently bought and changed over my home wireless to a Time Capsule 2TB, which I wanted for both the backup and the ease in home networking. I have set up the wireless network and since day one it has been painfully slow! I have created two wireless networks, one for 2.4GHz and the other for 5GHz. I have been reading all over the web and boards but to no avail. Any suggestions? I am about to give up on the time capsule completely! I couldn't even download my podcast tonight.
Help!

Firstly plug in directly by ethernet to be sure there isn't a network issue on wan side.
Are you testing on multiple computers .. Mac and/or PC?? Which ones. and what network cards are being used?
Try and remove anything that uses G wireless and throw away any B wireless. It will not work together with N even if it is an option.
Turn off the guest network if you have it on.
Have you used a wireless analyser like kismac or inssider for pc? Find the free channels and set the wireless to that. Use no security at first to test.. briefly.. and then select wpa2 personal. Is there any difference?
Do you have another wireless router running?? Were you using a different wireless router for comparison?

Wireless printing with time capsule 1tb and new wireless all in one printer

I am having problems with printing wirelessly from my time capsule 1tb. I currently have a hp 5510v office all in one printer and drivers can not be found to support printing wirelessly however it can print via usb. What I need is help in picking out a new all in one printer that can print wirelessly from time capsule 1tb. Please help

Hi,
my hp photosmart C6180 all in one works flawlessly with it plugged in to my time capsule all functions.
I used to have it set up using it wirelessly from the printer however for some reason after a update (i think) it stopped working & would not print so had to plug in to time capsule.

Problem w/ wireless range with Time Capsule

Recently set up Time Capsule to swap out my Airport next to my Imac. Also have an Airport Express set up in another room to help extend wireless range. Found now that the range with Time Capsule is not as good as the Airport setup and I can't use my Ipad in the bedrooms furthest away from the Time Capsule. I'm not very tech saavy but would appreciate any suggestions? Thx.

When you set up TimeCapsule did you create a closed network? With a closed network, airport doesn't broadcast the network name, you have to manually enter it to join. This might be your problem. To fix it (or to see if that's what you've done) run Airport Utility and select manual setup. Select the Wireless tab and then click on the Wireless Options button at the bottom of the window.

Creating wireless network with Time Capsule

hi, I just have couple of questions before installing the time capsule;
so far I have been using cable DSL modem, so my question is - is it possible to set time capsule as a wireless router, or does time capsule still have to be connected with DSL modem and then act wiresly with iMac?
I was thinking if i could replace cable DSL modem with time capsule
thank you

The Time Capsule has to be connected to your DSL modem. Otherwise you won't be able to connect to internet.

Losing wireless connection with Time Capsule

Hi,
Yesterday I purchased a 500GB Dual Band/Guest Networking Time Capsule (the newest model). The TC set up properly - I have it set up to join my wireless network and share my external HD - but during backups or streaming media from the external HD, it loses the wireless connection and stops. At this point, the TC is no longer viewable in the AirPort Utility and I have to reboot it.
I've read other articles and threads stating that downgrading to the 7.3.2 firmware version will correct problems like this, but because mine is a newer TC version, I can't do this (7.4.0 is the earliest available). Is there any way to solve the constant wireless connection loss?

Leask, welcome to the discussions!
The problems that you are experiencing are likely a combination of signal strength and interference from other networks and possibly cordless phones. You will need to experiment to find the best settings for your environment as there are no set rules or fixes for any given situation.
Assuming that security settings are compatible within a network, good wireless performance depends on two main factors: adequate signal strength and lack of interference from outside sources and other networks.
Download iStumbler, www.istumbler.net, to get a look at your wireless network. The application will show you the signal strength of your network (and noise).
If you have a laptop, move around your house to see how the signal strength at various points changes. If you find an area where the signal strength really starts to fall off rapidly, you either need to move your device closer to the broadcast point or consider purchasing an AirPort Express to "extend" the broadcast power of the Time Capsule.
The signal strength indicator on your computer(s) or iPhone is generally not a very good indicator of the actual signal strength on your network.
Perhaps more importantly, see if there are other networks in your area and identify what channels they are operating on. This is a primary source of interference in addition to cordless phones, microwave ovens, and some security cameras.
If you find that there are other networks using the same channel or an adjacent channel as your network, use AirPort Utility to change the channel that Time Capsule is broadcasting on to another channel that is as far away from other channels as possible. This may be very difficult if you live in an area crowded with other networks.
There are also features on many new wireless routers that enable a user to "hide" the network name, so it is possible that there are other wireless networks causing interference that you cannot identify.
Your Time Capsule is capable of broadcasting a wireless signal at 5GHz, much higher than the normal crowded 2.4GHz networks. But, I'm not sure if your computer(s) are compatible with this setting. Wouldn't hurt to give this a try. A number of users have found that they have much less difficulty on the higher band since it is (for now) much less crowded.
Please post back on your progress.

Troubling extending wireless network with Time Capsule and Airport Extreme

I am trying to set up and extend a wireless network in my house, but it’s not working right. I have two Airport/Capsule units in the house:
2TB Time Capsule (Dual-Band II)
1 Airport Extreme (Dual Band)
I have the Verizon Fios router as my gateway to the internet, and also as my DHCP server. I have also tested the ethernet ports in my house to verify that they work, and that I can get a DHCP-issued IP address.
Now, my Verizon router has WiFI, and it’s still on. I am not using it though except to troubleshoot. So far as I understand, this should not cause a problem.
Base station setup
So I setup the TC to Create A New Wireless Network, on the ethernet network it’s on (Dlink switch plugged into Verizon router). I set it up in Bridge Mode (as opposed to having it dole out IPs, since the Verizon router does this already). The TC gets a valid IP, and my wireless device connect to it without a problem. I have checked “Allow this network to be expanded” under Wireless settings.
Extended station setup
The AE Dual-Band is plugged into the Ethernet, and is reset to Factory Settings. I name it “Airport Extreme 2” and I chose “I want Airport Extreme to join my current network.” The other two options are: “I want to create a new wireless network” and “I want to replace and existing base station or wireless router with Airport Extreme.”
I chose to “join,” I select “I want to connect Airport Extreme to my network using Ethernet to extend my existing wireless network.” The other options are to disable wireless entirely, or to “wirelessly join my current network.” On the next page it asks me to select the device or network that the Airport Extreme will connect to using the Ethernet. I set it to the Time Capsule.
Results:
Access near the Airport Extreme 2 is incredibly slow. Speedtest shows I am getting less than 1Mbps. Worse yet, my mail client won’t connect. It just times out.
What I had hoped was that the AE would connect via Ethernet to the network, and just bring the wireless network to the other side of the house. Instead it almost seems as though it is just re-amplifying the TC’s signal. Otherwise, why is performance so bad?
Thanks to anyone with some insight here!

Hello Kennuff. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Since you have the ability to connect all of the routers by Ethernet, there is no need to configure the Time Capsule (TC) & 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) for a dynamic WDS (aka, extending a network). This option is only when the routers do NOT have an Ethernet connection between them.
Instead, you want to configure the TC & AEBSn in a "roaming" network. I suggest starting by performing either a "hard" or "factory default" reset on both.
Next be sure that both the TC & AEBSn are on the same Ethernet subnet coming from the Verizon-supplied router.
Configure the TC & AEBSn as follows:
AirPort Utility > Select the TC or AEBSn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
o Allow this network to be extended: <not checked>
o Radio Mode: <leave the default or if you require a specific mode make sure both routers are configured the same>
o Wireless Security: <configure both routers the same>
AirPort Utility > Select the TC or AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection
o Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)

Remote wired network from wireless source with Time Capsule?

Hi,
I need to connect wired ethernet devices (e.g. printer) that are remotely located from my router and cable modem. I am hoping to achive this by plugging the printer into the time capsule and have the time capsule join the network, but I cannot connect the TC to the modem with a cable. Is this peven possible or does the TC have to be connected via wired ethernet from the router?
Seems like it should be easy but I have not had success yet. I must be missing something!
TC - 2TB model A1302
Thanks and Happy Holidays!

BTW, my router is a Linksys WRT54GL
ThanksWRT54GLWRT54GL
Are you running it on 3rd party, dd-wrt and the like??
They were an excellent router.. but are now well and truly out of date. They always had slow wan to lan throughput but it wasn't a big deal with slow internet speeds of yester-year.. now the G wireless and slow throughput are really shown up as inadequate.
And WDS is terrible in most early implementations.. Unless you do WDS to an identical router running identical firmware.. just don't do it.
What about simply using the TC in place of the WRT.. and get a second hand (if you don't want to spend too much) airport extreme, or a new express as the connection to the wired devices.
Or using EOP adapters (homeplug is another name).. for the printer.
You can certainly use the WRT54G as universal bridge to the TC.. as an alternative.. that would work better with the current hardware.. and the older dd-wrt should be fine.. (some of the newer DD-WRT are hopeless) but you cannot use WPA2.. only WPA to do it. This has to be done on 3rd party firmware.. no way on linksys firmware.. but third party is fine on these boxes.. they were after all the pioneers.

Setting up wireless printer with Time Capsule

I've just replaced my original Time Capsule after it had a terminal power failure.
The replacement Time Capsule is working okay as a backup and I have set up my wireless network again, but now I can't print using my Canon MX860 printer, which had been working well with my original Time Capsule and wireless network.
Any advice how I can fix this issue would be much appreciated - thanks.

Welcome to the discussion area!
Your post did not tell us what you may have already tried, whether you are trying to connect the printer using wireless only, or whether it will be connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
If you are trying to connect using wireless, you'll need to "re-install" the printer again using Canon's setup utility just like you did the first time.
Likewise, if you are using USB to connect, you'll need to open System Preferences on your Mac and click Print & Fax to install the printer.

Poor Wireless Range with Time Capsule

I just bought a Time Capsule and an Airport Express to replace with old Lynksys G router.I wanted to get a faster network and better coverage.However,when I first setup the Time Capsule and the Express did not use a security password and it was working well. Then,decided to get security since the time machine backup will have all my files.So,I went ahead and added the password in the Time capsule settings. Now the range of the wireless network is very limited,only covers the room where the Time Capsule is located.So,I went ahead and did a factory reset without password and the range was good again.Yesterday there was a power failure for a couple hours and now the range is very limited again(less range than my old Lynksys router). I have no idea what to do with this situation,why would setting up a password would decrease the range? I would appreciate any help with this situation.Thanks!

When you set up TimeCapsule did you create a closed network? With a closed network, airport doesn't broadcast the network name, you have to manually enter it to join. This might be your problem. To fix it (or to see if that's what you've done) run Airport Utility and select manual setup. Select the Wireless tab and then click on the Wireless Options button at the bottom of the window.

Extend FiOS wireless network with Time Capsule

I have a FiOS wifi router and a 1TB TC (with latest firmware 7.6.3). I'd like to extend the wireless network to cover some dead zones. I've run ethernet from the LAN port on the router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule, and it's getting an IP and internet connectivity. However, when I follow the Apple instructions to extend a wireless network, I get the warning error "unable to extend network" and the flashing orange light. I've confirmed the SSID and password are correct and match the FiOS SSID and password, and I've confirmed that the TC is in bridge mode. I've also logged into the FiOS router and confirmed it's assigning IPs to the wired and wireless componets of the TC, and recognizes the wireless is in bridge mode. Any suggestions?
I've got it working currently as a separate SSID, but it's just a pain to have to jump from weak-network1 to TC-network2 whenever I'm in a dead zone. Thanks in advance!

Check to make sure that you have the TC configured to.....
Create a wireless network (not "extend".....as that is only used for wireless extension and you are using Ethernet)
Use the exact same wireless network name (SSID) as the FIOS router
Use the exact same type of wireless security that the FIOS router is using (Make sure that this is not WEP) It should be WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal.
Same wireless password as the FIOS
Bridge Mode configuration
Unless everything matches up correctly, you will have two separate networks that require two separate log ons.
Configured correctly, you will have a "roaming" network. Your Mac will automatically switch over to the wireless access point with the best signal quality as it moves from one area to another.

Airport extreme losing wireless connection with Time Capsule

I have a 1st gen Time Capsule acting as my home wireless network base station which is configured to allow the wireless network to be extended. It is also the sole DHCP server. I have a 4th gen Airport Extreme in Extend a Wireless network mode. Everything was running ok for several months. However, since I upgraded both devices to Version 7.6, the Airport extreme keeps losing its connection with the network every few hours, requiring a daily reboot. Since the problem occured, I have disabled MAC address Access Control on the Time Capsule, and allocated a reserved DHCP IP address for the Airport Extreme - but this has not solved the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I had exactly the same problem. I also think it's a bug in 7.6. It seemed solved by downgrading my Time Capsule (TC) and my Airport Extreme (AE) to 7.5.2. To do so start the Airport Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities folder). Double click on the TC or AE. In the Menu at the top on your screen go to "Base Station" --> "Upload Firmware..." and the select 7.5.2. After rebooting your device, downgrade the other. Hopefully your problem is solved as well!

Wireless Network with Time Capsule -- 2 Questions (5 GHz? 2nd Network?)

Hi all:
First off, thanks to all of you for being there. Apple Discussion Boards are the best!
OK, to start with, here's my gear list:
-iMac 27" QC (bought Dec. '09), 2.8 GHz, 8 GB RAM, running 10.6.4
-Time Capsule 802.11n, 1 TB (bought April '10)
-Airport Express 802.11n (bought April '10)
-iPad
-iPhone 4
So I set up the Time Capsule a few months ago, and paired it with my iMac and with the Airport Express (to stream AirTunes), and everything has been working fine.
The iPad and iPhone are also working fine. (In Airport Utility > Advanced > Logs, the iPhone shows a rate of 72, signal -60, and noise -94. And the iMac shows a rate of 300, signal -47, and noise -96. Don't know if that is good or bad or normal.)
So, here are my questions:
First, in Airport Utility > AirPort > Wireless > Wireless Network Options... should I check the box that says "5 GHz Network Name"? It is currently not checked. Would that increase performance? (All my devices - iPad, iPhone, Airport Express - are "n" devices, right? Does that mean I should check that box? Is that even an issue?)
Second, when I first set up my wireless network I named it "MP Network." But I notice in System Preferences > Airport > Advanced that there is another network that apparently was set up when I first set up the TC. Its name is "Apple Network" plus 3 letters and 3 numbers.
What is that? It doesn't show up anywhere else. Should I delete it? Is it using up bandwidth by being there?
(Both networks appear in that same place on System Preferences, and both are WPA2 Personal.)
Thanks to anyone for any input/advice. And apologies if any of the above is confusing.
Matt

+So it sounds like I should leave the network as is, right?+
Yes, this makes sense for most users. Some users sometimes have trouble with a new computer that sometimes connects to the 5 GHz network and sometimes connects to the 2.4 GHz network. They want the computer to always connect to the 5 GHz network so they assign a separate name to that network and configure their computer to connect to that network first.
+The iPhone being "g" does not reduce my overall performance, right?+
No, because it's using the 2.4 GHz band. Faster devices use the 5 GHz band.
+And my TC broadcasts dual band so the "n" devices get what they want and the "g" device gets what it wants...correct?+
Yes, but you need to remember that "n" devices can connect at either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
+(The 300 Mbits/sec I am getting on my iMac is good, right? And is 72 for the iPhone good, too?)+
300 Mbps is outstanding. Most users average 220-270 with a good connection. The iPhone is a "g" device, which means it can operate up to 54 Mbps, so I'm not sure what you are seeing here.
+As for the other issue of the "out of the box" network name, I think I will delete it. (I am of the school that enjoys things clean and avoids unnecessary clutter!) But will that create any problems for me? Is it as simple as clicking the "-" (remove) icon in System Preferences > Network > AirPort tab?+
That's all you have to do.
I can't remember if the password for the Apple Network xxxxxxx is stored in Keychain Access.
Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Look for a listing of the Apple Network xxxxxx and delete that entry if you want to remove all evidence of that network.

IMac loses wireless connectivity with Time Capsule

I'm having a problem with my iMac 24" 3.06ghz losing connectivity with my Time Capsule (1 TB), but my wife has a new Dell laptop running Windows Vista and using the TC for her wireless. She does not lose the connection and keeps trucking everytime I lose it. The TC seems to be transmitting fine, but it's not communicating with the iMac. Any ideas?

My wireless network works well, using TC as wireless router, but occasionally Safari will lose internet connection from iMac, while iTunes is syncing with ATV. Strange, I will work along with you to solve this.
