Updating AirPort Software

Apple periodically updates AirPort software. It is recommended that you update your Time Capsule to use the latest software.

You can select “Check for updates when opening AirPort Utility,” or “Check for updates” in AirPort preferences. If you select “Check for updates,” choose an increment of time, such as weekly, from the pop-up menu to automatically check for updates.

Time Capsule Placement Considerations

The following recommendations can help your Time Capsule achieve the best wireless range and network coverage.

ÂÂ Place your Time Capsule in an open area where there are few obstructions, such as large pieces of furniture or walls. Try to place it away from metallic surfaces.

ÂÂ If you place your Time Capsule behind furniture, keep at least an inch of space between the Time Capsule and the edge of the furniture.

ÂÂ Avoid placing your Time Capsule in areas surrounded by metal surfaces on three or more sides.

ÂÂ If you place your Time Capsule in an entertainment center with your stereo equipment, avoid surrounding your Time Capsule with audio, video, or power cables. Place your Time Capsule so that the cables are to one side. Maintain as much space as possible between your Time Capsule and the cables.

ÂÂ Try to place your Time Capsule at least 25 feet (7.6 meters) from any microwave oven, 2.4 or 5 gigahertz (GHz) cordless phone, and other sources of interference.

ÂÂ Do not place other objects (books, papers, small pets, etc.) on top of the Time Capsule. It may interfere with Time Capsule cooling.
