Time Capsule IP/Wireless

[hayleywow]

Hi Guys,

I have bought a time capsule recently to replace my BT home hub, and also for my time machine backups for my MBP. I have noticed that the IP address is a bit odd... as most routers start 192.168 but the time capsule start 10.0 is this right???????

Also is there anyway within Airport to monitor who accesses the wireless?? or who's connected to it??

Any help gratefully received sorry for the many questions I'm new to time capsules.

Thanks

Hay

As long as it's working and your connected to the internet, I shouldn't see a problem. And yes, there is a way to check out who's connected. If your using the latest version of Airport Utility, simply click on the Time Capsule and it will come up with the wireless clients. The more listings, the more people that are connected.

Hope this helps!

You can change the IP settings on the TC by looking at the DHCP and NAT settings.
For wireless clients look at Wireless Clients in Airport Utility for the TC.

When an IP begins with 10.xxx.xxx this is usually part of a Class A network. Class A networks are designed to work with extremely large networks, with lots of connected devices, think in the millions. Just some useless information for ya

That addressing is fine. There are three "ranges" of IPs for private networks. 192.168 is the most common, but 172.16 through 172.31 and 10.anything are also valid.
