Q: Time Capsule - country relocation

I bought a 1TB Time Capsule in the US and am now relocated to Singapore. I tried the instructions below but stopped at Step 3 as there was no wireless option.

On your Mac

  1. Open AirPort Utility.
  2. Select your device.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Click the Wireless tab.
  5. Click Wireless Options.
  6. Choose your region from the Regulatory Region menu.

 

How can I reconfigure it so that I can continue to use it?

    If you bought a version of the Time Capsule for the U.S. market, there is NO option to change the country to Malaysia/Singapore. You would need to purchase a Time Capsule that is designed to work in your region. Sorry!

    You can use a US TC in Singapore without issues.. although Singapore is not included in the wifi list of countries.. US and Singapore have very sufficiently similar rules as to not cause problems.

     

    A 1TB TC is fairly old now anyway.. so for most people it is well overdue replacement.

     

    If you need further help I can actually convert your TC to Singapore.. (Oceania)

    The code is buried inside the TC firmware.. and it is complicated to fix it.

    For most people using US though is no problem at all.
