    Identifying devices connected to my network

    So I've been trying to figure this out but haven't found anything that could explain it to me in a way that I could understand. Forgive me if this should be obvious; I couldn't figure it out. If I have a LAN with some devices connected over Wi-Fi to an AirPort Time Capsule and others to a...

    Airport Time Capsule Went Downhill?

    Several years ago, I got a Time Capsule and I like it (the old form factor). Recently, I was researching a graduation gift to get for my nephew (laptop and auto-backup solution). I was surprised to see that on Apple's site, that the current Time Capsule gets pretty lousy reviews from customers...

    AirPort - Ethernet port when connected to network wirelessly

    Hi, Sorry if the title doesn't make much sense, but my question (I hope) is quite simple. I have an AirPort Time Capsule (an older model) - it is currently in a upstairs in a room with a DVR which has no wireless capabilities (it needs to be connected via Ethernet). The modem/router from my...

    Connect Airport Extreme to wireless MiFi hotspot?

    I have a wireless MiFi hotspot with a limit of 4 connections. Its DHCP server will only give out 4 IP numbers.

    Are there any Non-Airport, WPA2-compatible wireless options for OS 9?

    Basically, I scored a couple of older 'Books a few days back, and I am in retro heaven. With one caveat: I cannot connect to a modern secured WiFi network using the original Airport software. Something to do with the encryption protocol, I can't remember the details beyond WPA 1 and 2, but I...

    Is moving from a 4th gen Airport Extreme to the 6th gen (newest) Airport Extreme worth it?

    Some things: My place is too small to need mesh networking. The only way I'd go to mesh networking is if it offered more features (QoS, VPN, etc) than the Airport Extreme, but Eero, Google Wifi and others seem to be works in progress with features to be added later. I'd rather not spend money...

    Time Machine Backups on Time Capsule

    Hey Guys, I think this problem started when I installed Sierra, but I cannot be 100% sure actually.
