Wireless (caple) TV via Time Capsule?

Not sure if this is right, but i decided to shoot anyway.
Is it possible somehow to transmit normal adsl/caple TV from the Time Capsule and with the appropriate reciever have a wireless monitor/tv, maybe HighDef?
it would be cool

bjartur, Welcome to the discussion area!
The Time Capsule does not have this capability.

HP Laserjet 1020 Print Wirelessly Via Time Capsule?

Is it possible to set up an HP Laserjet 1020 to print wirelessly via time capsule? I already know I have to use the 1022 driver, and my printer works perfectly when the usb is plugged into my Macbook air. I plugged it into the new time capsule I just bought and added it on my Macbook as a network printer, but it wont print. Any tips or suggestions would be extremely helpful! Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I would recommend reviewing the article below.

I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages sometimes. How do I fix?

I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages (no connection) sometimes when trying to connect devices to the wireless network. How do I fix? Sometimes devices cannot connect to the network because of conflicting IPs. I look on the Motorola and every device has a unique IP assigned but occasionally a device has taken the IP of another device. I have been writing down all the devices and the IPs they have been using. It happens more with PCs than Macs, ipads or iPhones.

If the Time Capsule is set up correctly in bridge mode, then it is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router to provide the correct IP address assignments for all devices on the network.
Check to insure that the Time Capsule is correctly set up to operate in bridge mode as follows:
On your Mac, open AirPort Utility
Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode is configured to read "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Once you have confirmed that the Time Capsule is configured correctly, everything else is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router as far as network routing and IP address assignments for devices.
If you continue to have IP address issues, then you should contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that provided the Motorola device to you and ask them to fix the issue.

Want to backup a Seagate Wireless Plus to my Time Capsule via Time Machine

Hi,
I currently have my macbook and an external drive with movies backed up via time machine to a Time Capsule. I want to replace the storage device with a Seagate wireless plus in order to both store and stream data with other platforms in the house. I still want to regularily back up this wireless storage device to Time Capsule as a safety net. Can I do this wirelessly or does the new Seagate drive need to be physically connected to my Mac or to the USB port on the TC? I don't want it to be part of the TC, I just want it to be a disk available for back up to the TC.

Have a long hard think about this.
Reading the review of the seagate, the problems with using a wireless device like this are great..
This device is trying to be a network device.. that is the only way you can connect to wireless.. but at the same time, provide some access to the internet.
Wireless on your computers/idevices cannot connect to two wireless AP's at the same time.. That makes the Seagate useless.
Read the review. http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/seagate/wireless_plus_1tb_hard_drive/457705 /
What it is apparently doing is providing a link to your main wireless router.. ie the TC.. so you can have internet at the same time.. but note.. this is extremely slow.. as noted in the review.. the internet speed is really poor due to the lack of proper networking. You are using a box which is effectively a hotspot.. but is linked by wireless to your main router.. If you want a definition of how NOT to use wireless in a network this is it.
Without ethernet connection forget it. To simply have a wireless hotspot to carry around with you.. IMHO there are lower cost and superior ways.. since wireless is not of much use and will be slow.. plug a 2.5" drive directly into your computer. Or use cloud services with a 3G or 4G modem or tether to your phone. Don't forget you can carry around a pretty big store of files now in SD cards.
I also like the idea of being able to take the wireless portable drive wtih me so I can edit photos or view photos from my other laptop on the road.
So you cannot plug the USB drive into the other machine?? Wireless hotspot usage without 3G connection for on road seems to be an expense for not much gain.. but of course if you want it for this great.. just don't expect to put it into the network easily other than by USB. And for that to work I would need to study the specs more closely.. but if you cannot format it HFS+ don't bother. Using iphoto on non-HFS+ drives is not recommended.
If I go with a NAS drive - I can connect that to the TC for connectivity, but then how to incorporate the data on that NAS drive onto the TC as part of the backup.
CCC is $40 software.. it will do whatever you like.
but losing the photos and home videos would be:(
You must be very careful with iphoto library.. and videos more than likely.
iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
This article states..
It's recommended that you store your iPhoto library on a locally mounted hard drive. Storing your iPhoto library on a network share can lead to poor performance, data corruption, or data loss.
You are playing with fire using the Seagate to edit iphoto library.. and it is important you realise the risk.

Mac connects but PC won't connect to internet via TIme Capsule wireless net

I have my personal Mac and work PC at home. I'm switching from a wireless network using my airport extreme base station to a new time capsule. Had no problems earlier, but now with my new wireless network I have the following problem:
- Both Mac and PC are able to connect to my home wireless network created through Time Capsule
- Only Mac can access the internet via the Time Capsule wireless network
- PC connects fine to the wireless network, but the settings indicate the internet cannot be accessed
I've tried fiddling with configurations etc. but cannot seem to get the PC to connect through to the internet using my Time Capsule.
The PC will connect directly to the net if I plug in the ethernet from my cable modem....What's the problem? Any ideas?

Welcome to the discussions forum AZR-DC.
The PC will connect directly to the net if I plug in the ethernet from my cable modem...
Make it a habit to power down your modem whenever you connect something different to it. Merely detaching the AEBS and attaching your Time Capsule or your computer directly will confuse most modems, so leave it powered down for a few moments. Power down your other equipment while you're at it.
Then, power up all the equipment as follows:
Modem... wait a few moments for it to complete its startup sequence.
Time Capsule. Wait a few moments again.
Computers.
Be sure your PC and your Mac are getting their addresses "via DHCP".

Xbox Live via Time Capsule

Hey All
This is my first post here .
I have a Time Capsule (sorry about the lack of tech specs) which is connected to a Netgear N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router which is connected to the wall via ethernet (obviously ).
I want to see if it is possible to give the netgear router the responsibility of connecting the iMac, 2 ipod touches, 2 iPhones and a Macbook Pro to the internet, while the Time Capsule acts as a wireless router for the xbox 360 I want to connect to XBOX Live. Is there a way to connect the xbox 360 to the Time Capsule via ethernet and the Time Capsule to the Netgear router via wireless and keep the Time Capsule backing up the iMac Simultaneously.
Please reply ASAP!
Thanks

Yikes.I haven't had much to do with networking.I was trying to find out getting an old mac OS8.6 to see my OSX network.
How about this site. http://guides.macrumors.com/NetworkingWindows_with_Mac_OSX
I assume you have a Mac with OSX and xbox is windows.
Did you try CNET Forums also?

Can I use the AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender to my Time Capsule ?

Can I use AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender ? I own a Time Capsule and want to extend my wireless network using the AirPort Extreme just because both have wifi AC. Also, does the AirPort Extreme need to be hook up via Ethernet if I extend

The problem with extending using a wireless connection between the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme is this.......
The extender can only "extend" the speed of signal that it receives. The signal starts to lose speed as soon as it leaves the Time Capsule, and the signal will lose quite a bit of speed as it passes through the ceiling due to the thick construction. The ceiling presents what is known as "interference" to the wireless signal.
So, the signal has slowed somewhat by the time that it reaches an AirPort Extreme that would be installed on the main floor. That AirPort Extreme acting as an extender can make the signal that it receives go further, but it cannot make it go faster. A better term than "extender" really might be "repeater".
If you install an AirPort Extreme on the main floor, the signal upstairs will be stronger than it is now, and depending on how many obstructions there are between the AirPort Extreme and the upstairs area, the signal may be noticeably faster upstairs than it is now as well.
With wireless connections between devices, there are always so many compromises and variables involved that it is just not possible to predict what the actual performance might be in your home until you try things out in your home. For that reason, it is always a good idea to understand the store's return policy in advance in case a new item does not deliver the performance that you are hoping to achieve.
Now, let's say that you are able to pull an Ethernet cable from the Time Capsule to the main floor, and the AirPort Extreme is connected there in a nice, central location. Then, you could expect to receive about the same performance on the main floor that you receive in the basement, since the AirPort Extreme is receiving a full speed signal over the Ethernet cable from the Time Capsule. You can run an Ethernet cable about 330 feet, or about 100 meters with virtually no signal loss.
The performance upstairs will improve as well, since the AirPort Extreme has a full speed signal to broadcast....not the slower speed signal that would receive from the Time Capsule if it connects using wireless.
If you want to achieve the same type of performance upstairs that you have in the basement and main floor, then you will need to pull an additional Ethernet cable up to the upstairs floor and add another AirPort there.
That would probably be the "best" wireless network system that you could install if you are looking at all the options. Few of us are lucky enough to be able to install the "best" network, but those that are receive remarkable wireless performance in return for their investment.

VNC remote my computer from Internet via time capsule

I have several computers connected with Airport via time capsule to Internet.
When I am out of office, how can I remote one of the computers from the Ipad? I use Mocha VNC
I´ve been trying but impossible to find the complete IP or DNS name, my IPAD do not find any of the computers if connected via Time Capsule
I have no prob when connecting one computer to modem directly , It works fine If I write the IP on my IPAD.
Back to my mac and VNC password settings seems correct.

Try locking the wireless channels for 2.4ghz.. instead of auto use 1, 6 or 11. Test each in turn.
I would also suggest using a SMB name.. ie short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Did you happen to upgrade to latest iOS?? People are experiencing some bugs.. which is no real suprise.
Has the phone worked before and stopped working after some change you made.. or have you never been able to connect using this phone.

Windows XP won't connect to Internet via Time Capsule AE

I've got a MacBook Pro and MacBook using Airport Extreme via Time Capsule. I recently partitioned MacBook Pro and added Windows XP via Boot Camp. The XP sees the Airport but cannot connect. I've added the same key to XP as used for Mac access, but it still doesn't connect.
Its a WPA2 Personal Key. XP allows WEP, WPA, and WPA-??? (there are three other letters there that are NOT "2" or "Personal"). It allows one of two "types" that are TKIP or AS? (Three letters that I can't remember.) I'm completely lost.
I also tried changing channels, but that's frustrating unless I just change from the PC end. I had been changing them on the Mac, then rebooting to XP to see what happens. (Nothing, so far.)
Has anyone successfully gotten XP on the Wireless?

XP wireless to a Time Capsule works fine. Problem is, as you've found, choosing the right wireless security, then entering the key in the right format.
Because of this problem in mixed OS X / XP networks, I've stuck with WEP. It's less secure, but it works!
I live in a rural area, so wireless security isn't really an issue.
Try reconfiguring your TC to use WEP. Once you've got it working, investigate the other security options.

Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

Do the usual wireless things.
Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
For testing take off the security altogether.
The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.

Wirelessly backing up without Time Capsule?

I read that it's possible to wirelessly back up without Time Capsule as long as the external drive is connected to another Mac. Can anyone help please?

1. You can do what you are now doing. You could transfer files via your home network using File Sharing.
2. Partitioning is done using Disk Utility. See:
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
4. This can be done as you are now doing it. You can share the backup drive from the desktop computer if you have a home network. Select the drive. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Check the box labeled "Shared." Now open Sharing preferences and check the box, "File Sharing." If the shared drive is not in the list then use the Add [+] button and add the drive to the list. On the other computer you should see your desktop now listed in the Finder's sidebar under Servers. Click on the desktop name then click on the Connect As link in the upper right. Log in as a registered user using your admin account on the desktop and enter your admin password on the desktop account. You should now see an array of folders you can access including the shared drive. Double-click on it and it will mount on the Desktop. You can now use it like any other drive. For more help with this process select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "sharing."
Now, you can use a lot of different software for doing backups, syncs, etc. Here are a few:
Backup Software Recommendations
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
Silver Keeper
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
Synchronize Pro! X
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
All of the above can use a networked drive as a source or destination for backing up or syncing files.

DirecTV DVR HR20 connect to internet via Time Capsule

Hi Everyone,
I've searched and come across various topics about connecting the DirecTV DVR to the internet via Time Capsule, but none of them seem to provide a solution for wireless connectivity.
Can anyone point me to a topic where it describes the steps and any issues related to getting my DirecTV DVR connected to the internet via the Time Capsule wirelessly.
I have gone through the setup and I get connected to my network, but I get the error when it tries to connect to the internet.
Do I have to do any port forwarding or anything special?
I use to have my Netgear supporting this configuration, just purchased the Time Capsule and now I cannot get my DVR connected.
Thanks for the support
Jeff...

The Direct TV DVR has an Ethernet connection on the back, which is strongly recommended if you intend to download movies or any kind of high definition material.
If you are trying to use the new Whole Home feature, wireless is not supported by Direct TV for this service.
If you are trying to connect to the DVR using wireless from the Time Capsule, you must be using some sort of wireless to Ethernet bridge device.
What device are you trying to use?
Have you verified that this device is compatible with the Time Capsule?
As a test, connect the adapter/bridge to your laptop and turn the wireless off on the laptop. Open your browser to see if you can get an Internet connection.
If you can, you know the network connection is good and the focus shifts to the DVR as the source of the problem.
If you can't, we'll need to figure out if the adapter you are using will work the Time Capsule.

Photosmart 6520 won't connect via Time Capsule

Just bought a Photosmart 6520 printer. I have tried to connect it to my wireless network via Time Capsule but the printer thinks MAC address filtering is turned on so is unable to connect. I have checked using Airport utility to make sure MAC address filtering is turned off, which it is, and all other wireless devices connect without any problem. If I move the printer around the house I can connect via an Airport Express but I don't want the printer upstairs. Seems to be a communication problem between the printer and Time Capsule. I have updated the Firmware on the Time Capsule
Any one any ideas please?

Hello Frustrated61,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I suggest that we restore the Network defaults from the printer menu.
I have also located a document on when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. This will give you instructions on how to set a static IP address.
I have also located an Apple document that gives instructions on how to Set up a printer connected to a Time Capsule or AirPort base station.
Thank you for your time.

How to connect a printer to a wireless connection using airport/time capsule

How do you connect a Cannon MP620 printer to the wireless network with my time capsule/airport? It was set up before but I've had to redo all the settings with a new Time Capsule and now the printer isn't working. Can't remember how I set it up before. Didn't seem that hard back then.
Thanks!

So you plugedd the printer into the time capsule usb right?
You need to re-add the printer in the system preferences one more time because the location has moved.

I've had a new hard drive installed and reloaded all my stuff via time capsule and now can't connect to the internet although it say Airport is connected. How can I fix this problem ?

Just had a new hard drive for my iMac and reloaded all my stuff via time capsule, all works fine apart from Safari which won't connect to internet. Airport is connected but each time Safari comes back saying there is no connection....any help gratefully recieved.

So you have the apple rotuer called a time capsule and you have complete the frist time machine back up? but there is not internet access ?
If so.
Opem airport utiltiy on your Comptuer :
What is the IP ? > if its 169.254.xx.xx > its a self assigned
Try power cycling the Internet source for up to 1 mintue and make sure all the lights turn off.
In Airport Utility Version 5.5.3 / 5.6.1
Gi > Intenret > conncetiong sharing > Is it off bridge mode change it to share a public Ip address
In airport Utility version 6.0/6.1
Edit > network > rotuer mode : Should be DHCP and NAT unless you use PPPoE to conecnt to the internet then this is automatically invoked.
