The Apple router will generally try to force itself to become the main wireless router of the network. In your case this is wrong.

It must be bridged. It can be done in one of two ways. Either simply go through the standard auto setup. Allow it to choose whatever values the TC wants. Then complete the wizard. Once that is done. Click on the TC icon in the airport utility and edit it.

Change the setup to bridge. Nothing else should need fixing. In your case let me suggest another method. Firstly do a full factory setup.

To really clear away all the old setups. The Factory Reset universal Unplug your TC/AE.

Hold in reset. And power the TC/AE back on.

All without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important. It is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode. Release reset. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again. Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.

Add no more pressure after that. TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations. No files are deleted on the hard disk. No reset of the TC deletes files. To do that you use erase from the airport utilit From there the steps are outlined in this post. (shown as the answer).

Follow through the setup. Which covers both automatic and then about half way done the full manual configuration which can be done in isolation from the network. Any qustions please just relate to the pictures I have given which number you are getting to, before it all goes bad. Just one other comment. Is the TC the best backup unit for you. If you have an existing wireless router which is adequate for your network then a Time Capsule is not required for anything but its hard disk. You require neither router nor wireless.

A USB drive plugged straight into your iMac is faster, more reliable and much cheaper than a TC. For laptops the TC is great so you don't always need to plug in the drive. But for a desktop computer. The modern fast USB drives make great backups without being a big ugly extra. You can buy 2TB 2.5' drives and hide it behind the Mac. I will give you the full method to do it manually. Although I hope you did read the other post.

No reset of the TC deletes files. To do that you use erase from the airport utility. Plug it by ethernet into your computer.

Open the ethernet in your system preferences/ networking. Ensure you have IPv6 set link-local. Your IP address should show 10.0.1.2 3. Open the airport utility. Go to the top menu.

Click on Configure Other. Type in the IP address, exactly as shown. No password is needed. You will now open the manual setup pages of the TC. This is new screen that will come up. Since you are doing it manually you must go through all the pages and and give it the right settings. Click on base station.

Type in a name. Short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Click on the internet tab. Click on the wireless tab and set as below. Create a wireless network. Use a suitable name, short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.

Also set wireless security password and use WPA2 personal. Click on the Network tab. Choose off (bridge mode). Then at the bottom click update. Wait for the TC to restart. It won't work now plugged into the computer. It must now be connected to your main router to function.

Plug the WAN port of the TC. The one with sunburst symbol. To the BT router LAN port by ethernet. On the Mac connect to the TC wireless which you set at step 8.

Type in the password for wireless you just set. Follow this exactly and it will work. The Apple router will generally try to force itself to become the main wireless router of the network.

The modern fast USB drives make great backups without being a big ugly extra. You can buy 2TB 2.5' drives and hide it behind the Mac. You are not going to use the TC as the main router. You are simply allowing the setup wizard in the airport utility to do its worst.

So you can then manually access it in the airport utility and return it to bridge where it should always have been. The problem is that apple has made the wizard force the TC to take over otherwise the utility refuses to continue or complete. So let it do its thing and fix it post the setup.

All you need is for it to be available. Then you jump in and edit. I will give you the full method to do it manually. Although I hope you did read the other post.

Hi An update on the last few days Apple support exchanged my T/C which came today I went through the connection process but got now where I contacted apple support The connection issue was BT Mcfee anti virus for Mac which was on my machine Having removed this anti virus the T/C connected to the mac wirelessly and began a backup and connected wirelessly Great!! Still one problem I have BT Vision Tv I am getting broadband, tv from BT vision BUT the digital package which I have in addition to vision is not there!

Connections are as follows From router(Lan1) red Ethernet cable to bottom socket above power socket on T/C BT vision Ethernet cable from the third socket above the power socket ( marked with two arrows) to the TV The digital vision channels are not seen Is it a case that these channels are encrypted and require the BT black box to unencrypted the signal? Just a thought Finally position if I cannot get the digital tv is to just use the T/C as a wireless backup hard drive with the T/C upstairs next to the mac I also have two wireless BT boxes which I could use to wirelessly send the digital signal to the TV I have not tried this yet as I concider a wired connection not working would if connected wirelessly be no better BT have not a clue but tomorrow I will ring their technical dept and hopefully talk to someone with a clue on this issue In the meantime gentlemen have you any ideas Thank you Shirley.
