• Airport Extreme network orientation parameters

  Here is our network (diagram below) configuration:

  Internet is available through a pass by modem cable to the Sonic Wall set with a static IP address. The wall of sound, we have a port to a point of cradle that is not with a static IP and gives on a totally different range of the IPS via DHCP to our POS. Another port of the Sonic Wall, I had going to the WAN port on our new airport extreme. I have a switch with some control machines connected to the Airport extreme via an ethernet cable. All devices connected via wifi or hard cable with Airport extreme are placed for IPS via DHCP.

  I am trying to configure parameters on a new device extreme airport our Wi - Fi to my company. We recently had some problems of internet connectivity for a minute or two at a time and I wonder if it could be some sort of conflict of IP address or if it was just a failure of the internet that did not affect the status of the modem lights cable (all were green = connected). Brief history: the most extreme airport on a port of our Sonic wall with the airport extreme is default DHCP and NAT (he gave me the orange light, and he suggested that I put it in Bridge mode). Internet in all of our network seemed to work very well, so I just left it alone.

  30 days later we have a brief interruption in internet connectivity with our credit card processing POS two days in a row for a minute or two of. After the second case, we shut down the extreme airport just in case that was causing our problem. I had a technician COMPUTER down and he suggested I put the airport with a static IP (x.x.7.80) outside the range of IP addresses of our wall router Sonic DHCP-range (let's say it was x.x.7.100 - x.x.7.252) he has been giving and then configured the network settings for DHCP LAN only Airport (I used x.x.7.10 - x.x.7.70) with a range that doesn't overlap the IP of the Sonic Wall range. Part of the confusion, I had during the configuration of the airport was if I needed to plug in our Sonic Wall static IP address in the 'router' address and if I needed to use the DNS servers that appeared in the Sonic Wall settings (I thought he was shooting at those of the cable company). After you make these changes, I got a green light on the airport and the connection was working fine when tested. The next day, we had another interruption of connectivity where our treatment card and internet from WIFI got interrupted. I unplugged the power of WIFI and it seemed that our POS network has begun to process cards normally again.

  The point side cradle of the network is to grasp what IP the sonic wall gives him and give the address on a completely different system that is used in the other part of the network. Another question would be if I can just put the Airport extreme to DHCP mode under the 'Internet' parameter and go to the bridge on "Network" setting Mode I don't know how the bridge Mode would affect our network. I'm not wanting to do anything on the side POS (point of cradle) which is rather difficult with someone like me who is not an expert. Any thoughts are appreciated to help me resolve this issue.

  

  Brief history: the most extreme airport on a port of our Sonic wall with the airport extreme is default DHCP and NAT (he gave me the orange light, and he suggested that I put it in Bridge mode). Internet in all of our network seemed to work very well, so I just left it alone.

  There are two schools of thought on this.  The traditional method (better, in my opinion) would have the AirPort Extreme, put in place in Bridge Mode... Since you already have another router... (the Sonic Wall device which is upstream of your network)... providing routing services.

  Although you might be able to make a network work well with two different devices acting both as of the routers on the network, it complicates things, adds another firewall to the network, and also produces a base called Double NAT network error.

  Sometimes you can get away with a Double NAT error on a simple network, but the double layers of NAT may cause some unpredictable problems. The usual problem is slower navigation, or you will not be able to access some Web sites.  Network devices may not communicate reliably, or communicate at all in some cases.

  This is why Apple software configuration you advise to set up AirPort Extreme in bridge... Mode to fix the Double NAT error. This type of configuration simplifies your network... Since one device will put a router... not two.

  In recent years in particular, we have seen some tips on forums that goes against the rules of traditional networking.  These people that it is OK to have two devices both try to act as routers to the same network... and to 'ignore' the Double NAT error on the network.

  It's interesting tips, since the Apple software advises you avoid having a Double NAT on the network... and some advanced features like Back to My Mac specifically Apple advise to avoid a Double NAT error on the network.  If you have a console online game and you want to play interactively on Internet, you already know that a Double NAT error will not allow this.

  My suggestion would be so... If you have not already tried it... to set up the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.  Apple calls this setting off (Bridge Mode)... which simply means that routing services are turned 'Off' Mode bridge.

  You can still assign a static to AirPort Extreme IP address, if you want, but the devices that are connected to the AirPort Extreme will receive the Sonic Wall router network IP addresses... Since the airport acts as a simple device to "go" when he returns and in Bridge Mode.

• Airport Extreme connected to TIVO: why I can not change Type firewall for IPv4.  Field displays IPv6 and is grayed out so I can't change.

  TIVO requires certain ports to be unblocked.  So I try to add the ports requiring TIVO.  But when you try to add the default Type of firewall IPv6 Port Mapping ports and I can't change the value of the IPv4 Port Mapping because the input field is grayed out and no is not accessible.  With Port IPv6 mapping I enter values in all areas except for the IPv6 address because I do not know what value to enter.  I think the button 'save' ' is not available to hit because the IPv6 address field is empty or not valid.  Note: my router Mode is ' Off (Bridge Mode).  Same questions if my router DHCP Mode.

  I changed my router Mode DHCP and NAT, then on the Type of firewall on the default page add ports, IPv4 Port Mapping and I could add ports but with this setting, I couldn't connect to internet in my Airport Extreme: my status remains orange light flashing.

  I use Comcast and my Airport Extreme is connected to my Comcast router using ethernet.

  I use my Airport Extreme as a router (wired and WIRELESS) and as a backup device.

  My TIVO is connected to my Airport Extreme using ethernet.

  How can I add the Ports requiring TIVO.

  Golden in the networking rule. ....... Never try to configure port mapping when you have two devices on the same network the two acting as a router.

  Unfortunately, this is exactly what you're trying to do.

  You have three options:

  (1) run the Comcast router "as what" and configure the port on the device of Comcast mapping... .the airPort Extreme must be configured in Bridge Mode when you do this.

  (2) lance to the AirPort Extreme router Mode of DHCP and NAT and configure the ports on the airport map... the peripheral Comcast must be configured to operate as a simple modem in Bridge Mode when you do this. 

  
  

  (3) lance to the AirPort Extreme router Mode of DHCP and NAT and configure the ports on the airport map... swap Comcast modem/router you have now for a simple modem (it will have only a single Ethernet port).

  In other words, either the Comcast is defined as the router and AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode... or... the AiPort Extreme is configured as a router and Comcast must be configured in Bridge Mode.

  If you choose Option 1, then we can not help you on a matter of Comcast router. In bridged Mode, the AirPort Extreme requires no configuration.

  If you choose Option 2 or Option 3, then we the following port values that the Tivo device needs:

  Public or UDP ports

  Public TCP

  UDP private

  Private TCP

  In addition, you need to find the MAC address for the TIVO.  It is a long code that looks something like this, for example:

  A1: B2: C3: D4: E5: F6

  A link to the Tivo instructions for port mapping would also be very useful.  I have done this with a TIVO in the past, but is for some years.

  If all goes well, an expert of TIVO will post to lend a hand.

• Airport Express in client mode to serve Airport Extreme

  Hi guys,.

  I am struggling with Setup in our business that is pretty special. Our cash register, the Bank Terminal and the control system are all serviced by an Airport Extreme that was configured with care by a dedicated company. The extreme is powered via an Ethernet based modem. The basic modem is a box any of the internet service provider in our country that has four ethernet ports and a basic WIFI network that we open for customers. As the basic modem is too far from the extreme, a powerline sitecom was initially used to carry the signal to the modem from basic to the extreme.

  But the powerline connection was poor, so they advised me to replace the powerline by an Airport Express in client mode, which converts the client base modem wifi signal ethernet to the WAN port on the extreme. I installed the Express exactly as described by Apple (AirPort Express: how to join an existing client mode - Apple Support Wi - Fi network) and the entire installation ran smooth for about an hour. At a time of seemingly random, all of a sudden the extreme complains that the internet connection is lost. In airport utility, the extreme flashes green, but the internet icon is orange and the notification indicates that the connection is lost. However, the Express flashes green and is always connected to the WIFI which worked again properly, I confirmed. Restart the extreme and Express to solve the problem, but only temporarily. After some time, the extreme complained again that the internet is lost.

  Can someone explain what could cause this problem and how to solve? Thanks in advance.

  From your description, I guess that the WiFi connection between the base modem and the AirPort Express is where you need to solve problems more far. Looks like that the modem is not a simple modem, but a combination modem and the wireless router, also known as the name of a gateway device.

  Nevertheless, the best solution would be to use an Ethernet cable dedicated between the "modem" and the AirPort Extreme. Bypassing the Express all together. The next would be Powerline adapters. I'm a little surprised that those you used works well for you. Unfortunately, the scenario of 'worse' bandwidth performance is what you're doing now is to use the AirPort Express as an Ethernet bridge Wireless Terminal

  However, if you have no other choice in the matter, where you then place the Express can make a difference. You want to Express to be in a db 25 + range of report Signal to noise (SNR) of the modem. This will allow the Express maintain a connection compatible with this modem wireless network. To find out how to measure SNR, discover the next Tip of an airport users for details. Please post back your results.

• How can I configure my Airport Extreme in Bridge mode (use the 3rd party router)?

  Data sheet:

  Airport Extreme - v 7.7.7

  Luma Surround Wifi 8

  I recently bought a wifi (luminance) surround system.  It comes with 3 routers that you place around your home.  Unfortunately I still have stains died in my house I'm looking to add my Airport Extreme (AE) to Luma network.  Is it as simple as plug the AE to the network (via Ethernet) and the bridge mode selection in the configuration of EI?

  I can see the AE of my iMac, and it is green.  How do you know that actually extend the wifi of my router Luma range?

  I searched the forum and all messages dealing with this are several years old.

  Thanks for your time...

  Basically, you want to create a mobile network with your Luma and AirPort Extreme routers. As you said, the extreme would need to be connected to the luminance by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge.

  In addition, the following are also required on the extreme:

  • Wireless mode: create a wireless network
  • The network name must be the same as that used by the Luma.
  • The type of wireless security and the password must match that of the luminance as well.

  To 'know' that the extreme extends the network of Luma, simply consult the BSSID value in the drop-down of OS X Wi - Fi. It must match the ID of the airport on your base station. Note: You must hold down the option key before clicking on the icon of the free Wi - Fi connection.

• Second Airport Extreme in Bridge mode, ethernet ports does not

  I have two routers, I want to use. The first is a time Capsule (old model 2 TB) connected to a single cable modem. The second is an Airport Extreme (also a little older, the 'flat' last body model until they began to sell towers). Both have the 7.6.4 firmware.

  The problem is that I want to use the second to extend my network, but I don't want to use wifi. I have the second of the WAN port connected via an Ethernet cable to the network served by the time Capsule, but when I launch the extreme in Bridge mode with a Mac Pro plugged into one of the ports ethernet to the extreme, it says it is not connected to the net.

  Y at - there a trick to getting the second router work ports ethernet when used in this way?

  Thanks in advance!

• Airport Extreme 802. 11 b / g compatible mode does not work

  Have a strange problem occurred recently on my home network. Here's what I have.

  (1) Macbook Pro retina 2014 running 10.9.5 (must be this older OS for DAW/music applications)

  (2) Macbook Pro 2009 10.11.1 running

  (3) airport Extreme Base Station of 2nd generation

  (4) Airport Express A1264 (1st gen N) compatible

  (5) iPhone 4 s. IOS9.2.1

  (6) iPad 2 8.4

  (7) modem Netgear cable connected to Comcast

  I have my Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11n value (802. 11 b / g compatible) and the Airport Express to extend the wireless network. Appliances mentioned above connects to the Station Base or Airport Express, according to what it is without any problems, except for my Macbook Pro of the retina's nearest.

  It was not used to be a problem for the retina to connect to the network, it used to work every time but for some reason any in the past months, it is almost impossible to get the retina to connect to the network. At this point, the Base Station is less than 10 feet away from the retina and has a direct line of sight to it but the only way I can get to connect is by organizing the retina upward in the air on a dark corner and hope that it connects. As soon as I put it down again, the connection disappears.

  What is strange is however if I go to the utility Airport and change options on the Base Station to one of the other 3 options, only 802.11n wireless (2.4 ghz), compatible with 802. 11A or 802.11n only (5 ghz) and restart the retina connects very well. The problem is my iPhone will not see and network, so I can't leave on any of these other 3 options I need my phone connected to use Skype etc. (virtually no cellular reception where I live).

  It is a hardware problem at the level of the retina, something to do with the wireless antenna, or is IT a case of I need more recent material from the Base Station, a newer model that has more options?

  I tried following the instructions from another post here remove all the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist etc etc files in the Library/preferences/systemconfiguration folder on the retina and reboot in order to restore the plist files but it does nothing.

  Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions that anyone has to offer.

  What stands out in your description is your AirPort Extreme 2nd generation base station. The typical lifecycle of networking hardware is Apple products around 5 years are in this group. The 2nd generation extreme was released in 2007 and stopped in March 2009... so yours is at less than 7 years.

  That said, I guess that your Extreme is to his "last breath" and I do not consider it to be reliable in the future. You're already thinking that maybe this is the reason, and I second that opinion. Maybe it's time to replace it instead of making any additional unnecessary troubleshooting.

• How will I know if my airport extreme in bridge mode?

  How will I know if my airport extreme in bridge mode?  My internet provider suggested I check into that and disable the bridge mode for a problem I've had with wireless help all my IP addresses.

  Assuming that you have a current version or recent Mac OS installed on your Mac...

  Open Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility

  Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

  Click on edit in the window that appears

  Click on the tab at the top of the next page network

  If the router Mode setting = Off (Bridge Mode), then the AirPort Extreme is configured in Bridge mode.

  It's OK for AirPort Extreme setting, unless you want to play with a setting of DHCP and NAT and a network called Double NAT error.  If you do this, AirPort Utility will display a message telling you that the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme is 'off (Bridge Mode).

• Airport Extreme in Bridge Mode?  What did I want?

  I'm AT & T Uverse with Gigapower.  Until today I had 2 networks in my home, the AT & T router then the one I created on my Apple Airport Extreme.

  The tech told me that I can implement the airport just mirror or fill the AT & T network.  In this way all devices in the House are on the same network.  In the past, there are times where someone has been connected on the AT & T network, but wanted to print to the printer WiFi, which stood on the Airport network.  We must also be on the Airport network in order to access the iTunes account via the Remote App.  Only, it would be easier if everything was on the same network, and we did not have to worry about switching.

  I want to use Airport Extreme to give us better coverage downstairs in the House.  The AT & T router is in a closet on the floor.  The signal is not large in some rooms on the ground floor.

  How to make the Airport Bill as a Repeater for the AT & T network?  What is this called bypass surgery?

  Thanks in advance for your help and your big brain.

  Adam

  Yes. Plug your Airport Extreme in a spare Ethernet port on the router AT & T. open Airport utility, click on the Airport Extreme, select Edit, select network and the router Mode value: Off (Bridge Mode) and update. Your Airport Extreme is now part of the AT & T network.

  p.s. You need to connect a cable Cat 5 or Cat 6 Ethernet of the AT & T to the Airport Extreme router since they are in different places in the House.

• What is the mode of connection (ME918LL/A) current Airport Extreme support?

  I have a setup of the airport with two airports of previous generation connected in Bridge mode. (NOTE that this is not the same thing as a network via a wifi - connection Wi - Fi). I want to upgrade one of the units. I believe I read somewhere that the current model of (ME918LL/A) does not support bridge mode but can't find information about this in the specifications of the device.

  Bridge ME918LL/a mode?

  I believe I read somewhere that the current model of (ME918LL/A) does not support bridge mode but can't find information about this in the specifications of the device.

  Your feelings are what they are, but as any airport, Bridge Mode router is available as an option in router Mode for the 802.11ac current version of AirPort Extreme.

  Here is a screenshot of the ME911LL/A 802.11ac version of an Airport Extreme on the network here.

  

• Airport Extreme Double NAT / AT & T NVG510

  My Internet connection has worked very well for several years, until recently, when the simple DSL modem (a Motorola 2210-02 - 1ATT) provided by AT & T began to experience intermittent outages. Initially, the DSL modem would lose the line for a minute or two at a time. But within 48 hours, the line started to drop during the hours in a row (synchronization failed line DSL). Whenever the modem has lost the line, my Airport Extreme (the router on my home network), shows a "Double NAT" alert. But whenever the modem 2210-02 DSL connection has been restored, alert the Airport Extreme's "Double NAT" disappeared.

  After a day and a half problems, the line is down for so many hours that I finally called AT & T to check the status of our range. So, AT & T sent a technician who concluded fairly quickly the 2210-02-1ATT was the problem and replaced it with a modem/router combo (manufacturing date 11/2014) NVG510 (with router function disabled in the settings).

  The speed that results and the quality of the connection via the NVG510 were good, so the tech packed 2210-02 in his bag and left. But now I get that alert "Double NAT" once again on my Airport Extreme, even if the home network is apparently working as well as it ever did.

  The only setting I changed was on the NVG510 - as soon as the technology has left, I turned off the WiFi on the NVG510 function because I want the Airport Extreme to my router, same as always.

  So far so good. After 24 hours with the NVG510 in place, the network worked well with no major hiccups, the only exception being the status of "Double NAT" alert displayed in Airport utility. In fact, had I have not bothered to watch Airport utility, I don't know that there was a "Double NAT" alert

  Everything on the side of the NVG510 LAN is identical to what was in place with the 2210-02...

  Airport Extreme 802.11ac works as "router" with the WiFi signal on another floor via an Airport Extreme 802.11n wireless (5th generation).

  The WiFi signal provides web access to some desktop Mac, AppleTV, devices, mobile phones, tablet computers and a laptop (laptop is the only device that uses a VPN).

  The network on the Airport Express 802.11ac, who serves as router, is "DHCP and NAT." and the "5th Gen," which extends the wireless network, set mode "bridge."

  After hours of searching online, I understand that this problem is surely the result of the NVG510, and that this problem exists for at least five years. I've read at least a few tens of different ways to try a fix via adjustments to settings, but none reached the level of a real solution.

  Although my network is no problem at the moment, I'm afraid that "Double NAT" alert is a sword of Damocles that will eventually crash my network, a situation I like to avoid. I dared not yet connect the laptop with a VPN to the router, but out of fear that will bring down the whole network.

  I'd rather solve the "Double NAT" proactively.

  Is there a a way to eliminate the Double "Nat" by adjusting the parameters of the NVG510 and/or the Airport Extreme?  Or, my fears of future problems and a VPN disaster are unfounded?

  Thank you

  According to your comments, the NVG510 has not been reconfigured as a bridge and is providing routing functions (NAT & DHCP).

  To resolve the Double NAT is the new Motorola NVG510 or AirPort Extreme needs to be reconfigured under a bridge. The simplest solution would be to reconfigure the extreme. In this way, the NVG510 can handle NAT & DHCP services required by clients of network connected to the extreme to access the Internet.

  To reconfigure the extreme as a gateway, use the AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility and then select the extreme.
  • Click on Extreme and then, select Edit.
  • Click the network tab to select it.
  • Change the router Mode to: Off (bridge Mode)
  • Click on update and allow extreme restart.

• How to fill Airport extreme wth my DSL router

  I am interested to buy an airport extreme and I currently have a DSL WiFi router. can I fill my current setup and then copy it into the new airport extreme, and then turn off my WiFi in my DSL router? in other words, I wish the Airport extreme to be the main WiFi, I hope I'm supposed?

  You cannot copy between dissimilar model routers.

  And there is absolutely no reason and without having to turn off the current router wifi and every reason to leave it on.

  The extreme must be in bridge including the Apple Installer mode to remove the wireless of comments. So I encourage you to just run two wireless networks... (there bandwidth to run 3 without causing problems).

  Create the wireless on the extreme with your own new values wireless... and you connect some Apple devices you want.

  But you can do what you want... just use the existing router SSID in the airport and use his password... However, this can cause problems for clients who expect a single Assembly and find that they are connected to something unknown.

• AirPort Extreme - set time zone

  Greetings:

  I have seen a lot of traffic on the change of the parameter of time zone in an AirPort Extreme, but I can't find an answer.  It seems that it may be impossible.  There is debate if even a hard reset of the device clears the set time zone and allow it to be reset.  It also seems to be no access to the device to terminal implemented a manual correction.

  I left US mountain for the Eastern US time zone time zone.  I have an AirPort Extreme running firmware version 7.6.7 and use version 6.3.6 AirPort Utility.  My AirPort Extreme needs to operate in bridge, because of the way the Internet is provided by our service.  I use the 'access control Timed"to limit the time that my young children are able to access the Internet.

  It should be a simple matter to define the time zone of my AirPort Extreme to my current location (or so it should automatically and reliably).  I don't know if the bridge mode interferes with the ability of the device to find its time zone.

  Can anyone offer advice (other than to apply an offset from my control access timed two hours time difference)?  Can the Genius Bar at my local store to fix?

  Thank you in advance,

  WILX

  Unfortunately, Apple has removed a number of parameters that they feel that the users do not need. Setting the time is one of them.

  Finally, your airport will have the exact time, but it usually takes about 6 weeks for that to happen.  Until then, you will need to manually adjust the access delay settings to compensate for.  When the time of the correction is made, then you have to adjust again timed access.

  We have seen some reports from users who claim that resetting the airport to return to the default settings and then setting them up again will fix the issue of the time, but it has not always worked when I tried it.

  If the 'genius' can solve this problem quickly, then he won the title.

• Airport Extreme, Time Capsule best practices configuration

  I searched for articles showing exactly what are the settings that I would see in my Airport Extreme Time Capsule. I put in place of the years before, but more recently WIFI was slow or choked several times a day. Our internet service provider recently upgraded its network, even though they claim that any slowdown is not their problem. I made sure the Time Machine backups do not cause them selfs. The Capsule is connected via CAT5 to the modem. All devices can connect wirelessly to the network.

  Base Station name is unique. Network is not hidden. Password is super strong. Wireless security is WPA/WPA2 Personal, just in case the older devices need to connect. In the window of the wireless Options, 5 GHz network name is disabled. 2.4 and 5 GHz channels is set to automatic. Router mode network is DHCP and NAT.

  I don't know if we're even using the 5 GHz mode. I want to make sure that we are optimizing on the installer. Any help is very appreciated.

  Wireless security is WPA/WPA2 Personal

  It's bad... AC is optimized to WPA2 and you will suffer significant slow down with WPA1. Even if your TC is former model Wireless N, that customers with AC wireless cards will not work as well.

  Use an AP gradually charge for older clients N or G... almost nothing today will be limited to the WPA1 unless it is very old and very slow.

  Name of the 5 GHz network is unchecked. 2.4 and 5 GHz channels is set to automatic. Router mode network is DHCP and NAT.

  The Apple 2.4 ghz speed limit... and always have.

  You will get the wrong speed on 2.4 ghz and is therefore the only way to improve the speed force customers to 5 GHz that can usefully use it.

  Check the 5 GHz range and give it a different name for the principal name wireless... It's the only way you can force clients to use the 5 GHz.

  How old and exactly which model is the TC? The base A1xxx please if you do not know.

  Age affects things. Routers wireless for some reason any servant of quality have a service life of about 3 years... the TC is actually worse than average... being more stressed to the load of the hard drive.

  I made sure the Time Machine backups do not cause them selfs.

  You actually turn off TM? Sometimes the TM always works, even when people think it's the start.

  more recently WIFI was slow or choked several times per day

  It's what I expected with TM still working on a computer.

• Can I use old time capsule for storage only with a new airport extreme (standard want latest HQ)?

  I have a time Capsule elders (802.11n). I would like to know if I can still use this time Capsule only as a network storage device, if I decide to build my network with a new Airport Extreme (802.11ac). If I can do that, how would I set up the network to continue automatic backups with a router to update?

  To do what you want, the new AirPort Extreme 802.11ac would be installed as the "main" network router The time Capsule would be connected to the AirPort Extreme, using a wired Ethernet cable connection, and the time Capsule should be configured to run in bridge with the service Mode Wireless off.

  Any Mac you want to save in the time Capsule would need to have Time Machine preferences on each Mac adjusted to ensure that the time Capsule has been set as the target for backup.

  If you decide to add the AirPort Extreme, post back for more information at this time, if you need installation instructions step by step.
