How to configure NAT in latest AirPort Utility?

Ok, where the heck did the NAT configuration section go in the latest AirPort Utility (I am running v6.1 under 10.7.4). It *used* to be under Network->NAT but it is now missing/hidden. Good times.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey Bob Timmons,
I am running Mountain Lion (10.8.1) and airport utility 6.1. I am also trying to open up a port. I downloaded airport utility 5.6 like you mentioned but it won't let me install it because it says the discs are not compatible with that version. So I'm guessing 5.6 doesn't play nicely with Mountain Lion. Does that sound correct? Any help is appreciated.
Sorry about the link to the photo instead of attaching it directly. It wouldn't let me attach it.

Is there a capability to save/export the time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app.

is there a capability to save/export the new airport 2TB time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. set-up wasn't a problem but the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.

the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
Sounds like you are a bit confused with version numbers.
Latest AirPort Utility version for the iPhone / iPad is 1.3.3. There is no option or capability to export/import settings on the iOS version(s) of AirPort Utility.....although you could take a series of screen shots and save them for future reference.
AirPort Utility 6.3.x is found on a Mac.....not on iPhone / iPad. Export and Import options are found under the File menu in 6.3.x.

How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
Thanks in advance

You are likely forgetting a step.
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit in the small window that appears
Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
Click Restart

WDS and the Extreme + Extreme using latest airport utility.

Hi everyone... checked out the latest airport utility? Couple of new features but one's annoying. I set up peoples networks and prefer to use Airports because of the ease and awesome raw power. (i used to use linksys WRT54GL's and dd-wrt or tomato)
I need some of your help with this one.
I would like to use 2 Extremes to WDS my house. It's long. I use the wizard on the first, then go back and manually set wireless options to WDS, add ID of remote, name remote then update.
I go to remote, log in, set settings, WDS point to main, and thus create a whole nother network with the same name.
as you know, the expresses "wizard" will allow you to extend by joining and updating both ways.
if anyone can help me with the secret to unlocking WDS on AEBSn+AEBSn I will be forever grateful.

I FOUND the answer to extreme + extreme WDS. You can't really do that. BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO...
Set up your first airport extreme with wireless and a connection to your internet connection.
go to the wireless tab on manual setup and "allow this network to be extended"
check to see if you have any other errors to address then get online and bring up a web page.
i prefer nebraskasheep.com but you can use google or whatnot
ok, so then go to your other Extreme and join it.
set it up manually. give it a name like homeremote or a unique name so they're easy to identify. I call mine main and remote or homeremote now that the airport utility remembers all your previous setups.
go to the wireless tab, extend a wireless network, and wallah!
done.

Latest airport utility update won't let me rename 5GHz network?

The latest airport utility update changed the name of my 5GHz network and won't let me change it back, anyone else having this problem?

You might want to take a look at AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion. It is very similar to the previous version of AirPort Utility.
Downloads
Yes, you can have both 6.0 and 5.6 on your Mac and choose the one that you want to use. I think you may find that while 6.0 is fun to look at, 5.6 provides a lot more functionality.

I have two airport express base stations that I want to configure on two separate sets of speakers in two separate rooms. How do I do this? Airport Utility only seems to scan one express at a time.

I am currently running a PowerPC G5 imac and have a wired broadband modem via ethernet with airport wireless network turned on, on the G5. I have the computer in the bedroom and have an airport express wired into a mixer that connects to my stereo. I have recently bought another airport express base station to connect to a pair of active monitors in the kitchen. When I try to scan these on Airport Utility version 5.42 I am only managing to scan one base unit at a time. I have plugged them in separately and reset them, they both have firmware updates, however the utility will only read one at once. I have read that you can link base stations to the same WDS. I would like to know how to go about doing this if it will only scan one airport express at a time. I have looked it up on the net and not found anything that is a simple fix. Can anyone help? In Apple Support it says that multiple Base Stations can be used. I would like to get both Apple Airport Express units to be able play airtunes separately or at the same time depending where I am in my flat. I do not need different music in each room. I would like to stream music from the computer to multiple rooms in the flat without having to continually unplug and configure the Base Stations. Has anyone come across such a challenge? Any help would be welcome.

How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

Airport utility is not working on Windows. I can configure Airport Expresses with the Macbook but multiple computers with Windows and the latest Airport Utility time out after trying to connect to the router for setup.

I have been trying to setup Airpot Expresses (both old and new models) for a while now with the Airpot Utility 5.6.1 for Windows without any luck. I have tried this on multiple windows machines, factory reseted the devices if I needed to, but I have not had any success since this software arrived. I see the routers on the Airport Utility UI, I click on it then try to connect to set it up. At this point, it gets stuck with a long progress bar trying to connect to the device without any success. I also have a Macbook Pro, and this device & software has had no trouble setting up the routers. The problem is, we are shipping these small routers out to customers who use Windows machines and it is vital that the user can modify the settings using Airpot Utility. I am at a loss for what to do and if we can't find any solutions, we are going to move on to a different company for the routers we ship out.

Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
Thanks really appreciating your help

How to configure home network with Airport Extreme + D-Link DIR-665

*hello everyone,*
*I had these two working fine together until the D-Link took a dump the other day. No explanation. Just stopped working until I reconfigured everything.*
*Which then led to my Airport Extreme being unable to connect to the network at all, much less the internet...*
*My home network is set up like this:*
*Optimum Cable*
*Motorola Surfboard modem --> D-Link DIR-655 (via ethernet)*
*- Provides wifi and ethernet connections on one side of my house*
*DIR-655 --> Airport Extreme (via ethernet run to other side of house)*
*- Provides wifi and ethernet connections on the other side of my house*
*My MBP won't connect to anything other than my AE running N, so I have that set up primarily for my MBP over wifi, while feeding an ethernet connection to a Netgear router running B/G, for my iPhone and other devices.*
**So here are the relative details:**
*I decided to start fresh and do a factory default configuration with my Airport Extreme. My working system from earlier was essentially it's own wifi network, but the airport utility 'insists' that I need to run my AE in bridge mode. I've tried that, but I can't get online. I can see my shared connections, so something's getting through, but I cannot connect to them, in addition to being unable to get online.*
*I'm not really sure how to best illustrate this problem, so I've ran through the process again and jotted down a few notes. Excuse the rambling nature of my narrative, this is a 'blow by blow' account of the Airport Utility setup process:*
Airport version 7.4.2
IP address 192.168.0.192
router address: 192.168.0.2
Configuring over Airport connection.
- I want AE to join my current network
-.. connect AE to my network using ethernet to extend or create second network
- select device AE will connect to using ethernet - DIR-655 network (displayed w/ airport icon?)
- create an additional network (through ethernet)
AE updates..
- problem 1 of 1 : unsecured wireless network
wpa wpa2
Bridge mode or share a single IP address using DHCP
selected bridge mode
results: AE has green light, airport utility is satisfied but no connection to network is possible. Shared connections are visible, but unable to access
next try:
manual setup
Wireless mode: create wireless network
radio mode: 802.11n only (5 GHz)
channel: auto
wireless security: WPA2 personal
(bridge mode still active)
(this is the exact setup that worked for years before..)
updated…
AE light is green, but no connection to internet or shared connections (though visible)
back to airport utility
manual setup:
internet menu:
connection sharing: share a public IP address
update
--> 2 problems
DHCP Beginning address: 192.168.0.2
DHCP Ending Address: 192.168.0.2
chose 'assist me'
(now one shared connection to Mac Mini becomes active? Had selected it earlier. Able to browse folders, but not share screen)
AE refreshed now with amber light, with reported problems
Problem 1 of 2: Internet Connection
Your Apple Wireless device does not have a valid IP address. Make sure your Apple wireless device is connected to your broadband modem or local network… etc
- changed IP address to match router IP address (?) Utility goes on to next problem
Problem 2 of 2: Conflicting DHCP Range
This Apple wireless device rejected a DHCP address in the same subnet as its internal DHCP server. You should probably switch your Apple wireless device to be in bridge mode. If you still want to be using DHCP and NAT to share a single IP address, you should change your DHCP range.
- maintain selection: share a single IP address using DHCP and NAT (utility forces you to: ignore; skip; or select bridge mode - which doesn't work..)
- chose 'skip' for problem 2
- updated AE..
New problem:
Problem 1 of 1: Double NAT
This Apple wireless device has a private IP address on its Ethernet WAN port. It is connected to a device or network that is using Network Address Translation (NAT) to provide private IP addresses. you should change you Apple wireless device from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode.
- selected Bridge Mode
updated AE…
"Setup Complete!"
Unable to connect.
** At this point, I am still able to see my shared connections, and while iTunes is open, I can play my shared library that is on my Mac Pro, which connected to the DIR-665 via ethernet, through yet another D-Link router (DIR-615)! I am still connected to the Airport Extreme via wireless, so the system is working, to an extent.*
*So I'm not sure what to do. How can I remedy my IP address issue? Bridge mode doesn't work (as far as I've experienced), so I'm struggling with my DHCP settings..*
*Thanks to anyone who has any suggestions!*

Hi Preston,
I would recommend not starting the numbering scheme for the IP addresses using a '0'. Yes the range is 0-255, but some numbers are reserved, and not generally good practice.
Also, assuming you have reset all factory defaults, start anew and have the modem --> router using NAT for dynamic IP addresses --> (other side of the house) Airport Extreme --> not a NAT configuration, but you need a simple switch. Do not use the NAT capabilities on this one. Maybe, just maybe the computer will work now. This will eliminate your double NAT and also help (hopefully) with the D-Link.
Sorry I cannot help more, I do not own any of the products you talk about, however I have networking experience. Hope it helps.

Back to my Mac, NAT, CTU setup, Airport Utility

I've used Back to my Mac from home to access my iMac at the office in the past, but after the Yosemite update, I am not seeing "Shared" listed in the SideBar of Finder Windows anymore, and I also get the following warning in System Preferences > iCloud > Back to My Mac:
Set up router for better performance.
Clicking "Details" yields this message:
Back to My Mac may be slow because NAT Port Mapping (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is turned off on your router.
Let me explain my router setup
My iMac at home is connected to the internet via fiber optic line here in Japan. The fiber cable comes from the wall to a white plastic NTT box that has 4 green LED lights, the only one of which that blinks is labeled UNI. That box is the Ｂフレッツ ONU shown on this WIKI page:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%85%89%E5%9B%9E%E7%B7%9A%E7%B5%82%E7%AB%AF%E8%A3 %85%E7%BD%AE
The Fiber cable form the wall goes INTO that ONU, and then there's an Ethernet cable that goes OUT of it into the WAN port of another NTT box with a black front-face, Model 2004WS, which is called a "CTU" and which I assume is the actual "Router" in my setup. I then have an ethernet cable going between the LAN1 port of that CTU and the WAN port on my Airport Extreme Base Station (the WAN port on my Airport Extreme has what looks to be a sun-shine icon). Another Ethernet cable goes out of my CTU at the LAN4 port and leads into a dark blue VOIP Adapter box. And the LAN3 output of my CTU leads into an Ethernet Hub, from which I connect my iMac and SE/30 (yes, that vintage Mac can connect to the internet!). (My iPad connects wirelessly.)
The 3 NTT boxes I just described are shown in this photo:
http://hoe.moe-nifty.com/hoe/images/HI350155.JPG
If I open Airport Utility 6.3.4, click the Airport Extreme icon, then click the Edit button, within the Network tab, I see the "Router Mode" is Off (Bridge Mode).
When I launch Network Utility and click Traceroute and type "icloud.com" and click the Trace button, Line 2 shows three asterisks " * * * ". That seems to be saying that I DO NOT have a "Multiple NAT configuration," as per this:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1208
I can log into my CTU via Safari using the following URL:
https://ctu.fletsnet.com/CtuC231/init.do
At left there is a button named "詳細設定" which means "Advanced Settings." Clicking that button shows me various settings, and I can see that this CTU is acting as the DHCP Router, and that UPnP is enabled. There is no mention of "NAT" at all, so I assume that NAT is OFF on this CTU.
The following Apple Support article is suggesting that to resolve Back to My Mac issues, I would need to change the "Router Mode" from "Off / Bridged" to "DHCP and NAT":
AirPort Utility 6.x: Set NAT options for your base station or AirPort Time Capsule
But since my CTU is already acting as the DHCP server, wouldn't changing the Airport Extreme Router Mode from Off/Bridge to DHCP wreak havoc on my setup?
What should I do?
Thanks.
P.S. I also have a Brother Laser printer MFC-7840W that connects wirelessly via the Airport Extreme, and in the Network tab of Airport Utility "Timed Access Control" is enabled and that printed (wireless client) is enabled. It took me a heck of a long time to figure out how to get that printer to work wirelessly, so I don't want to mess it up and no longer be able to print if I switch from Off/Bridged to DHCP and NAT.

There are a number of reports of BTMM not working any longer with Yosemite. Apple's solution so called is hugely simplistic.. and it doesn't help for most people.
Since it worked before Yosemite and fails to work with Yosemite.. the issue is very clear.. Yosemite has the worst networking of any Apple OS release yet.
Your setup of the Airport is completely irrelevant.
And if the CTU is not working .. i think your best strategy is to go back to a working OS.. Apple have a lot more bug killing to do before Yosemite should see the light of day.
You can still connect manually.. if you have somebody in your office or it is accessible to you .. then you can open port 548 and directly link. BTMM is just an automated system.. a no hassles.. no fuss system.. which is great when it works but is otherwise completely useless when broken.
BTW does your iCloud access still work??

"Allow this network to be extended" has disappeared from latest Airport Utility

I bought the new Airport Timecapsule (the vertical one) and have the latest version of the Airport Utility. Under "Create a wirless netwrk" there used to be a checkbox that said "Allow this network to be extended" As best I can tell, that option no longer exists (at least with the latest Airport Timecapsule). How does one extend this network? I have been using another Airport to extend my network and would like to continue extending it.

"Allow this network to be extended" is automatically enabled (and hidden) in the newer versions of AirPort Utility 6.x, so there is no setting needed for this.
The setup to "extend" is now much easier to configure with AirPort Utility 6.x compared to previous versions of AirPort Utility.
What device will you be using to "extend" the network? Do you plan to "extend" wirelessly, or "extend" by connecting the AirPort to the Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable? (Much better performance with the wired connection if you are able).

Latest Airport Utility v6.3 does not find my time capsule

After installing the latest vestion of the airport utility on my MBP I can no longer find my Time Capsule in the utility rendering unusable. Anyone else seeing this behavior or have any suggestion to correct the issue.

You really need to have the latest firmware on your devices (7.6.3). I am thinking your devices (whether it be an airport extreme or an airport timecapsule is not set up right, for what ever reason. Perhaps you need to make sure you are connected to the right network. Select the wifi icon in your menu bar and make sure you are in your network.
Are you able to see it using airport utility 5.6 ? (that is the version before 6.2 and 6.3). Although the latest airport utilty (6.3) in my opinion is much easier to work with.
Otherwise...
Are you comfortable hard resetting it... (holding a pen to the reset button for several seconds, while the light blinks amber). This will temporially disconcect you from the internet and you will have to reset everything.

How do i get to the airport utility screen?

Clueless. Just need to chaneg the pw on my airport extreme and do not know how to get to utility screen Thanks

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPOrt Extreme icon, then click Edit
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the page to get to the wireless settings
Make the changes that you want by editing the password and verifying
It would be a good idea to also change the name of the wireless network to avoid the confusing situation where you have the name network name stored with two different passwords
Click Update to save the new settings and the AirPort Extreme will restart in 30 seconds

SNMP on 802.11ac AirPort Extreme. Gone or just not available in latests AirPort Utility?

Hello everyone. I just purchased three 802.11ac AirPort Extremes to replace three previous generation AE's that were becomming problematic. I just discovered that the SNMP feature is missing? Is the functionality still there, but possibly enabled by means other than AirPort Utility? Or has Apple once again decided on our behalf and took away a much needed feature? I will be soreley dissapointed if Apple has ommited SNMP from the new AE.

We wish you luck.
Apple removed the SNMP function almost two years ago, so you would think that if Apple were going to do something, they would have done it by now.
But, you never know what might happen.
In case you were wondering how to locate a list of DHCP connected network clients on the TC, that is another item that "disappeared". If important to you, you might want to ask about that as well.

How to configure traveling MacBook and airport express

Here is the probelm I am interested in getting help with
I frequently travel with my family with Mac Books and an airport express. When we are at a hotel we dont want to pay for 5 internet connections at the daily rate. So if the hotel has an ethernet wire its easy, I plug in the ethernet wire to the airport express and build my own network. This typically works. The problem comes when the hotel has a wireless network. How can I configure the airport express so that I can create a new wireless network routing the traffic through the single wireless connection that the hotel gives me? If this cant be done with an airport express is there another router it can be done with?
Thanks for any help/advice.

You can setup your Airport Express (AX) as a wireless client connecting to the hotel wireless network. Connect the ethernet port on the AX to your Mac's ethernet port for internet access. Go to System Preferences/Sharing tab, enable internet sharing after configuring "Share your connection from Ethernet" and "To computers using AirPort". Your laptop will act as an access point for your other computers. You may not get blazing speed from the internet since you are splitting the bandwidth, however, this is the lowest cost solution for your dilemma. Remember to set your wireless security before you start sharing your connection or you may have other "guests" connecting to your mini network.
