If it's not there it's really very annoying, as I have a wireless device (not a computer, not a phone) that can only use WEP. Nothing else. The whole reason I bought a TC (apart from the disk) is for dual band, to run a WEP 2.4Ghz network for this device and a WPA 5Ghz network for everything else. But it seems the TC is not flexible enough to do this. Or.. will going to old firmware give me WEP?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-12705065807660112782009-09-11T02:03:18.663-05:002009-09-11T02:03:18.663-05:00Is it possible to see an external usb drive connec...Is it possible to see an external usb drive connected to the TC from some computer on the WLAN network? ie I can see the default 'Data' share from my computer, but if I connect a usb drive to the TC, I don't see anything new. I have all my music stored on TC, but want to make a backup of this. As you cannot really do that with TC, I want to connect a USB drive and simply copy the whole lot to that. I'd rather do that all the 'connected' route, rather than connecting the drive to my computer and copying the whole lot from TC over the WLAN to the drive. Any ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-9810682852814628422009-08-12T20:42:15.762-05:002009-08-12T20:42:15.762-05:00The settings I mentioned are part of the manual co...The settings I mentioned are part of the manual configuration options for airport utility. Airport - Wireless - Wireless Options. <br /><br />I'd say to look in the Help menu but it's really lousy.<br /><br />Also try moving your G4 very close to the TC and see if it will connect then.JGFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580785981874040314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-29582396784438342192009-08-12T18:08:39.929-05:002009-08-12T18:08:39.929-05:00I turned off "use wide channels"

It wont seam to respond to any sort of update or commands. I have the luxury of sluggish internet and I've decided to make the purchase of the time capsule. I've put you in my safari link bar to check back on your comments. Good tech geekery here.! <br /><br />Jeff WJeffrey Woolumshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834426156728345788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-1446130335169856612009-07-12T19:43:18.360-05:002009-07-12T19:43:18.360-05:00This is very timely as I have a new 1T Time Capsul...This is very timely as I have a new 1T Time Capsule sitting in the box waiting for me to make the switch from the flying saucer AEB too.
