**** EDIT ****

After talking to URC they said that mixed mode would not work but A/B/G would. I did put the airport in a/b/g but still no success to connect the MX-5000 to the network.

Was any of you succesful to connect this remote to a network via an Airport (or Time Capsule)?

********

This is my first MX-5000 programming so I am not entirely sure of what's wrong here:

Using an Apple Time Capsule I cannot connect with the DHCP - using the static IP the remote does connect to the wireless (5 bars - around -30 signal, excellent connection).

However when I go into the weather "app" (or music server, stocks...). I get an error message saying that the remote cannot connect to the internet.

Did I miss something?

Did you input the SSID in the MX5000 program?

Yes I did - network is listed on the remote as the preferred network and the icon (in the setting / wifi) shows as connected. On the remote itself the wifi signal icon is green with 5 bars.

I narrowed the problem to the Apple Time Capsule / Airport.

From the remote I switched to a neighboring unprotected network (Linksys) and was able to connect with DHCP without a problem. Go back to the client network (Apple Time Capsule router) and once again I am able to connect to the router (5 bars, connected) but "no internet connection".... so I guess the MX5000 must be using a port that is blocked on the Airport... anyone knows if this is the case? which port to open?

it sounds like you are connected. I'm confused, what are you actually trying to connect to? a PC on teh network? a PSX1/2? A IP enabled AVR? what?

AFAIK, there is no browser on the MX5000.

I am trying to connect to:

- Weather
- Stocks
- Autonomics Control on HTPC

With Static IP I can connect to the Airport (status from remote is connected, 5 bars) but once you click on weather it searches for a few sec and return "cannot connect to internet".
With DHCP - no connection to Airport (it finds it but disconnects immediately)
With Linksys open network from neighbor no connection problem in DHCP. weather and stocks work (obviously Autonomics does not as it is on the client's secured network).

**UPDATE ***

Just spoke to URC : apparently all is "normal", the URC MX-5000 is not compatible with Apple Airport N-mode - they recommend trying with B/G only (which I will later today)... kind of a bummer to have to downgrade the entire network to b/g just so that the remote can work tough.

Still no luck on my side - has anyone been able to use the MX-5000 on a network with Time Capsule as router?

Hey howdoin,

Did you have any luck getting that thing to talk to your Timecapsule?
I'm getting an MX6000, and am planning to use my timecapsule as the WAP.
Curious to know if it's working. I'm using b/g not n, so I hope that it will work without issue...

Thanks,

jim

I have used both the 5000 and 6000 with the airport while it was in mixed mode. One thing is do all you can not to have spaces in your ssid. But so far no problems and have been using the 6000 since it was releases last year.

*** EDIT FIXED ***

To answer my own question I was finally able to connect the MX-5000 to a Time Capsule/Airport.

All I had to do is:
- remove all capital letters from the SSID and no spaces
- remove all capital letters from the network key (using WPA2-PSK) and use no spaces

All now works like a charm, connect to waether, stocks and most importantly Autonomic MCS.

Sorry, I should have remembered that in my original post. Both URC and Denon as well as others recommend those setting for routers. In Denon's case their products will not connect if there is a space in the SSID.
