Time Capsule is a system that can be adapted to any internet connection model. It has a router, a Wi Fi access point and often, as an additional accessory, even a firewall.
So this program brings together everything that is needed for an Internet connection, except for the modem. It also has a 1 TB shared hard disk. This guide will show you how to configure the function on your computer.
- Start by connecting the modem to the capsules. The port to use is WAN. Use the special Ethernet cable. Then with a second cable connect the time capsules to the MAC. A few moments from turning on the device you will see that the computer will read the program and start the Utility Airport. This program is present on every MacBook.
- You will be connected to a system configuration screen. You can follow the instructions or alternatively use manual mode. In this second case, click on the CMD + L keys. If you choose the fastest mode, ie the keys, a screen will open. Enter the modem IP address, router address, and DNS server. Or do not write anything in the ” domain name ” box.
- Always continuing with the manual configuration you can decide to create a new network or expand one already existing. Select ” Wireless Network Options ” and activate the Dual Band. It is important to remember to assign a new name to the second network. This will allow faster devices to surf the 5 GHz network. The 5 Ghz network is devoid of external interference. Instead slower devices will continue to navigate the old network. Finally, choose the firewall setting up a new password.
- If you want, you can activate an optional procedure by setting up the Mobile Me account in the appropriate area. This way, you can turn on services like ” back to my Mac ” without the need for other configurations.
- While the ethernet cable is still connected, you try to activate Time Machine on the Time Capsule disk. Make a backup, keeping in mind that it is a long enough procedure. Disconnect the Ethernet cable after the procedure is complete. Within the file where the ” shared ” function appears, you will find the Time Capsule icon. Click to log on to the backup disk. Done!
