Q: Time Capsule 3TB - How do I see the ethernet settings (dhcp config, connected clients)?

The new Airport Utility seems completely basic and with not option to view advanced settings. How do I do this?

    It is pretty basic. Many formerly configurable parameters are no longer accessible in AirPort Utility 6.

     

    If you click the TC and hover the cursor over "wireless clients" their IP and MAC addresses can be seen. Clicking the Edit button gives you the ability to alter its connection method and everything else Apple decided should remain accessible to users.

    Thanks for the reply, John, I have seen that edit and what I need is not there.

     

    And what about all the other parameters? Is there a way to see the DHCP client list on the TC?

    Is there another tool I can use to edit the rest of the settings?

    Thanks.

    No - only wireless clients

    Sort of - use the workaround in this thread: I can't install airport utility 5.6

     

    It makes reference to an Express but the same utility can be used for your fourth generation TC. Don't rely upon it since using the older utility may cause other Time Capsule features to conflict with Mountain Lion. I have no knowledge of this, but just be aware that it is a possibility.
