Airport Extreme and Airport Express and Slingbox (and ProxySTA) = confused

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) acting as a router behind an Actiontec modem (in bridge mode) on Verizon in the east coast.
I can connect my Slingbox Solo to the AEBS with an ethernet cable and set everything up to see video off the internet in another city - fine.
But I really would like to have my Airport Express connect to my AEBS as a wireless bridge (using ProxySTA) with my slingbox connected to my Airport Express through a ethernet cable (they are in a different room from the AEBS).
I've confirmed both my AEBS and Airport Express are the latest models, n-capable, etc.
I think I've followed all the instructions correctly for setting up the wireless bridge (I followed these instructions: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2638404&start=15&tstart=0)
I have also done port forwarding of the Slingbox Solo in AEBS (using the method discussed at the bottom of this page: http://forums.dealmac.com/read.php?4,2774962)
Anyway the problem is that the slingbox is not working the same as when I had it connected to the AEBS directly by cable - the slingbox is "recognized", and is listed in AEBS's client list, but still regular video signals aren't coming through.
(Please don't be too thrown off by the fact that this is a slingbox; the advice I'm looking for could apply to anything being connected, like an Xbox, a playstation, etc. )
I've tried a few obvious things like hard re-sets of both Airports and the slingbox to no avail.
I have a sense that the problem may have something to do with my port-forwarding and/or other settings -- I'm totally a babe in the woods here.
There are a few issues I'm confused about, and would appreciate clarification on:
For the port-forwarding ip address, was it correct of me to use the "DHCP reservation" ip address I had setup in AEBS for the slingbox?
For the Airport Express settings, should I have selected the "join network" or the "extend network" option (I've read conflicting advice about this)?
I configured the port-forwarding of the slingbox ip address before setting up the wireless bridge configuration. What is the interplay between these 2? Do the wireless bridge settings need to be integrated into the port-forwarding settings in some way? Should the wireless bridge ip address be port-forwarded in addition to the slingbox ip address?
I have come across this discussion (second from last post): http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=84151&highlight=proxysta which introduced these new questions to me - how should I set up my settings at AEBS ->Internet->NAT? Should I enable default host? enable NAT port mapping? what should be filled in if using Enable default host?

But I really would like to have my Airport Express connect to my AEBS as a wireless bridge (using ProxySTA) with my slingbox connected to my Airport Express through a ethernet cable (they are in a different room from the AEBS).
It's not documented in Apple's user guide, but the only way to use ProxySTA is configure the AirPort Express to "join" a wireless network and "enable ethernet clients" during setup.
The Express will not provide any additional wireless coverage when it is configured to "join". It simply receives a wireless signal from your main router and provides a signal at the ethernet port. In effect, it becomes another LAN port on your main router supported by a wireless connection. (You won't get ethernet speeds...you'll get wireless speeds).
The main advantage of setting the AirPort Express up this way is that it provides better bandwidth performance.
If you use the "extend a wireless network" setup, the Express provides more wireless coverage in the area where it is located AND the ethernet port is also enabled in this configuration. But, there is some bandwidth loss providing the additional wireless coverage.
So, it's a compromise to choose which setup will provide you with the best performance. If you don't need the additional wireless coverage from the Express, the "join" setup would be the best choice, performance wise.
If you have the Express setup to "extend" now, you can perform a simple test to see if you got the configuration right. Just plug in a laptop to the ethernet port on the Express, turn off the wireless on the laptop, and see if you get an internet connection when you open your browser.
If you do, the configuration is correct. If you don't, something is not right with the configuration of the Express.
Sorry, I can't help on the port forwarding questions. That really should be another post.

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.

    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • Why can't wireless devices connect to my airport extreme? i have 2 macbooks and an iTouch. only 1 macbook will connect. help!

    i've had my airport extreme for over a year now. and it works perfectly with my original macbook. however, when other people visit, they can see my network but they can't connect. i also recently purchased a new macbook. and again, my new macbook will see my network but it won't connect. my iTouch has the same problem. help, please!

    When only a single device can connect, that typically indicates that there may something not configured properly with the DHCP server service in the AirPort. Is your AirPort Extreme connected directly to a simple broadband modem or to another router upstream of it?
    If it is a modem, please try a complete power recycle of all of your networking equipment.

  • My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help!

    My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help! What could it be?

    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference nearby that is preventing your AEBSn from providing a clean RF signal on the 2.4 GHz band.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

  • Is AirPort Extreme Base Station the right device and reliable for my setup?

    hey guys,
    i got a 2012 13" macbook air, iphone5 and an 2012 appletv
    ive also got two external usb3 2tb powered hdd's that i would to setup towards and use on my network.
    i have videos/movies/files/music that i would like to access from the network,
    so ive been looking at the extreme device and i can share via sb in the back x1 external hdd.
    from what ive googled i can share more devices such as my x2 external hdd's via a powered hub, is that correct?
    so my main question is..how fast is the read/copy/write going to be via through a hub?
    will it lag/skip if i watch videos on my macbook or straight to my appletv, which supposedly i can do access aswell, is that correct?
    just say video file will be 1gb only.. and im going to be only not even 5meters from the extreme device(network).
    what transfer rate will it copy/write from and to from one device(usb3 external hdd via powered hub via airport extreme) to my mac?
    what is the usb port on the back? 2 or 3?
    does anyone have a similar setup or use an airport extreme device for this setup?
    and my last question is...
    how reliable are these extreme device?
    from what i read, these devices only last like two yrs and people have had alot of problems issue with faults etc....

    Speed of read/write: if you're going by wireless, you're going to be limited by the wireless speeds.  Based on my usage, it seems like wireless N at 5 GHz tops out around 5-6 MB/s (40-48 mbps) with this router.  That's fine for video streaming, but will feel slow for heavy file transfer activity.
    The USB port on the back of the device is USB 2.0.  As a reminder, USB 2.0 is rated for theoretical speeds of 480 mbps, although in practice they're much lower; regardless, it's much faster than the wireless protocols are capable of.  Your bottleneck will be the wireless.
    I only use a printer with my USB port, so I can't give you any real-world experience with sharing hard drives.  You can use a USB hub to expand the ports, but it will need to be a self-powered hub: the Airport Extreme won't power devices through the port.  It's also worth noting that trying to use a network-shared disk as a Time Machine drive is a bit flakey; I've read a number of reports where people got it working, but then had their backups become corrupt with time.  I haven't read any reports of people having issues with using drives for purposes besides Time Machine, though.
    As for reliability, it's hard to say.  Nothing lasts forever; you'll find people whose devices failed very quickly, and some who are using generation 1 or 2 devices that are still working just fine.  I haven't heard any reports of an usually high failure rate with Airport Extremes.  Operation-wise, my Airport Extreme (5th gen) is the most stable router that I've used, and I went through four or five other routers before this one.  It's the only router that I have not needed to reboot, even after months of uptime and heavy traffic that usually choked up my other routers.  I'm very impressed with it.

  • AirPort Extreme with AirPort Express as WDS overall new network??

    Hello.
    I am looking into buying an airport extreme as a replacement for a Netgear router that does not seem to work. I have an Aiport express already.
    So let me see if I can get this straight...
    I can have 6 computers (all PCs) connected (and a couple other devices like a TIVO) all connected to an airport extreme base station to the internet and 1 airport express set as a remote base station. All devices will be able to connect to the internet (3 computers plugged in via Ethernet on Airpot Extreme) and share printers/files/etc? Is there a limit to the number of computers that I can have (even if i am extending with an Airport Express?
    I would appreciate any help steering me in the right direction. (I posted this in the main section but realized it might be better if i posted it here)

    Is there a limit to the number of computers that I can have (even if i am extending with an Airport Express?
    The maximum number of wireless clients for the Extreme base stations is 50; 10 for the Express.

    There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
     To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
    From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
    Search for: security
    Click 'Local Security Policy'
    Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    Click OK
     To disable Windows Search:
    Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
    On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
    Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
    Press OK, close all windows and restart.
     A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

  • Problems replacing BT Hub 5 with Airport Extreme using Airport Utility 6.3.2

    Hi
    I have spent all afternoon trying to connect to BT infinity using the Airport Extreme router. I have a BT Hub 5 which is OK apart from the fact that it cannot hold more than 3 wireless devices connected at any one time and keeps dropping wi fi connections.
    I am using OSX 10.9.4 (Mavericks), Airport Utility v. 6.3.2 and a iMac 2013 base model.
    I had some instructions but these refer to the previous version of Airport Utility which is quite different from the current one, so I had to improvise a little
    This is what I have done so far:
    1. I have connected the LAN1 port from the Openreach modem to the Gigabit ethernet WAN port of Airport Extreme and I have connected my iMac ethernet to one of the Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports of Airport Extreme
    2. I have named and passworded the network and given the base station a name as required
    3. In the Internet tab I have put in the account name as [email protected] and put in a space in the password box (I also tried writing BT in it with no result). I have set the PPoE connection as  local link only.
    The problem I have is that when I click on the internet icon on Airport Utility is shows disconnected and amber light, no matter what changes I make to the Airport Extreme which has a green light. I have noticed that in the new version of Airport Utility it doesn't seem to be possible to set the PPoE connection to be always on.
    In desperation I have disconnected the Airport Extreme router and reconnected the Home Hub 5 which works.
    What do I need to do?

    Your connection is Openreach Modem -> BT Home Hub 5 -> iMAC.
    After a bit of reading - http://www.broadbandchoices.co.uk/guides/hardware/bt-home-hub
    Openreach Modem - Optical Network Terminal (ONT).
    HH5 - is a 4-port Ethernet Router/Switch
    It looks like BT may be locking the MAC addresses of the modem and hh5 with access control lists, so customers cannot connect a device to replace the HH5.
    You have an option. Connect one of the HH5 LAN ports to the WAN port of the Airport.
    Set the Airport to Bridge mode, no DHCP address distribution, Create a Wireless Network.
    You can just ignore  the HH5 SSID(s) completely and just connect to the ones you create on the Extreme. The iMac can connect to any LAN port on the Extreme or one of the remaining HH5 LAN ports.
    The only challenge you may have is, if the number of IP addresses the HH5 can allocate is limited to 4 (by BT's configuration). It can be verified using more than four (4) devices.
    If this works, then there are alternatives where a new LAN within a LAN can be created if the IP address limitation becomes an issue.

  • Proper way to mix new Airport Extreme with Airport Express, wired and wirel

    I currently have several macs. Two of them have 1000 airport (macbook pro and macpro), the other 3 have 100 speed.
    I have one Airport Express I'm using now. I'd like a faster setup though.
    Here's how I've got it wired up now:
    1. I go from my cable modem into a 10/100 Linksys wired router
    2. A Net gear 10/100/1000 4-port switch is hooked to the router
    3. My airport Express is hooked to the switch
    4. my 4 other macs then are hard wired with regular ethernet cable to the switch.
    So, my wireless is only for the device(s) that need it, and all other macs go through wires to the switch.
    Now, I want to buy a new Airport Extreme to increase my wireless speed when copying files and sharing my iTunes library.
    Will having the Express on the network make the Extreme jump down to 100 speed? Or, should I buy a new router, a 10/100/1000 router, and just plug the new Extreme right into it, thereby separating it technically from the slower Express/wired stuff?
    I guess I won't even need the Express anymore unless I use it for my older macs that don't have the new n speed airport cards, right?
    any insight would be helpful, I'd hate to buy stuff I don't need, and vice versa.

    Please try taking the readings again using iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at your iMac for the following two cases:
    o Case_#1: Just the AEBSn. (Temporarily unplug the AX for this reading.)
    o Case_#2: When the network is configured for WDS.
    Within the Inspector, on the Properties tab, note the values for "signal" & "noise" for each of these cases. These values should be negative.
    SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
    SNR Guideline
    o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    For Case_#1, if the SNR is 20+dB, you may consider not using a WDS as this SNR value would represent decent Wi-Fi performance at your iMac's location from the AEBSn alone. If it's less than 20dB, then the WDS would be required. ... and, if this is the case, you would want to place the AX within the 20+dB range of the AEBSn to make sure it has the strongest signal to repeat.

  • Extending Airport Extreme N with both new "N" and old "g" express

    Hi,
    Have an airport extreme 802.11n 4th generation connected to a cable modem on the 2nd floor. It is set to "Allow this network to be extended". Have a 1st generation express 802.11n on the 1st floor set up as "extend network" and connected via ethernet to a PS3. That set up has been working fine. Have a roku xd/s in another room on the second floor and it was connected via wireless, but recently have felt like the signal has been less than great. I have an old express 802.11g that I'm wanting to put in that room to "join the network" (is this the same as extend the network??) and then connect that via ethernet to the roku to make the signal more constant.
    Right now, the roku isn't seeing the ethernet connection (it does see the wireless network), but the bedroom express is green and is shown as "normal" on airport utility. Any advice?
    Thanks for your help.
    Daniel

    So in my "spare time" today (so much fun to spend entire days dealing with networking issues !!) I've been changing the channels on the extreme and then rescanning the roku. I've started with the 2.4ghz channels first and only made 1-7 so far...no improvements.
    Using 5 GHz devices, if they are capable, will mitigate its effects since there are many more 5 GHz channels, and there are comparatively few devices capable of using them (a cursory search reveals only the Roku 2 XS supports 5 GHz).
    Actually, I belive my Roku XD/S is in fact dual band (supports both 5ghz and 2.4 ghz). Once I finish the above exercise with the 2.4 spectrum...I'll try switching through the 5Ghz channels to see if that improves anything. My suspision is that this won't solve anything as the roku is open to "grab on" to whatever band it "feels" is better at any given time (for example when it trys to load content). I might be wrong.
    However, I do wonder if I use the "separate 5Ghz network name option" on the extreme (currently un-checked) and then have the roku connect to this network in particular, then it will be forced to connect on the 5ghz channel and only then could I see if using 5ghz will help matters. Does this sound right?
    If in fact this does work, does the network going by the original name become 2.4ghz only; and therefore I'll have to make this choice for all devices in house? Using the same line of thinking, would I also need to pick which of these 2 networks the 802.11n express is extending (I notice now that the express is set at channel 149 and I don't have the option to change that...presumably because its set to extend and the channel is set by the extreme.
    I'm trying to fit the 802.11g into your network somehow, and I think the best possible use for your purposes would be to attach it to the Extreme using an Ethernet cable. This would create an additional 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g compatible access point. The longer the cable and farther away you could locate it from the Extreme or other Express, and the closer you can place it to the Roku, the more benefit it would convey.
    Wired from extreme to 802.11g express is not feasible (except if they were sitting in the same room...which I think will do nothing for me.) If it is just placed in the same room as the roku and set to "join the network" broadcasted by the extreme, does this accomplish nothing?
    Btw...I do use airtunes...but through the 802.11n express that is downstairs.

  • How do I configure my Airport Extreme to work in Bridge Mode and provide specific IP addresses to clients

    My Airport Extreme is working with an Airport Express to wirelessly extend my wireless network.  Both Airports are configured in Bridge Mode per the instructions I found on Apple's support site.  I want to assign a specific DHCP address to a wireless camera that is in range of the Extreme, but I understand that the Extreme needs to be in DHCP Only mode to do this.  But if I change the mode to DHCP Only, the Extreme will lose contact with the Express.  How can I get both functions to work - wireless network extension and specific DHCP addresses?

    Then what device is providing DHCP? Only once device per subnet should be the DHCP server. One should be DHCP and NAT and the other in Bridge mode for most home setups. The unit with DHCP and NAT should be the one connected to your cable or DSL and the other set in Bridge mode only extends your network.
    On the wireless config page set whichever you're using to extend your network to "Extend a wireless network" and give it the details of the network to which you're attaching it.

  • How can I create my own network in my dorm? (Using Airport Extreme + ethernet cable) (To connect AppleTV and Sonos successfully with no restrictions)

    So I recently set up my Apple Airport Extreme Router in my dorm and have a BIG problem. It works and lets me do most things on my own network, but when I try doing things on my external devices connected to the network (Apple TV and Sonos Hi-Fi Sound system) the connection just doesn't go through. I'll give two examples.
    After setting up my Sonos system successfully, I was prompted to update the software so I can use options that need internet access such as pandora and soundcloud. It just didn't work at all. It gave me an error that had to do with internet connection. I tried numerous times.
    On Apple TV, I used AirPlay on my phone to mirror what I was seeing on my phone and then tried to play youtube, soundcloud, and other music apps and none of them worked.
    My guess is that it has something to do with my school's restrictions on streaming or downloading. But none of this stuff is actually restricted so I know it must be due to the transfer of information between my network (which is connected to the school's network I am assuming, since my ethernet port is in my dorm wall)  and my external devices.
    Honestly I'll probably get the "Your school has these restrictions answer", but I know there is a way to fix this and I really want the answer!!
    Thanks,
    Andres

    You don't need the AirPort Express to do this.
    You can set your Mac to share it's wired connection over the wireless port and the iTouch can connect directly to the Mac.
    You could also do it with the AirPort Express, but you don't need to - it's overkill for what you've described.

  • Virgin Superhub settings to allow Airport Extreme to broadcast at 2.4 and 5Ghz

    I have a 120Mb Virgin Superhub (SH) installed in my home but its wireless performance is terrible. The SH router can work in wireless or modem mode at 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz but not simultaneously. I'm therefore going to place my SH in modem mode and connect up my Airport Extreme which can broadcast at 2.4 and 5Ghz simultaneously which will allow me to use all my tech at their best frequencies.
    My query is what do I set my SH to? 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz to enable my Airport Express to broadcast both frequencies. Hope you can help.

    Hi - if you configure the SH to be just a modem then all it should be doing is providing internet to the Extreme - the Extreme can be used with almost any cable or DSL modem without having to touch the modem so 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz would have nothing to do with the dual band capabilities of the Extreme - I would check with the SH manufacturer or ISP to make sure that this is the case - since you already have the Extreme, it won't hurt to try it.

  • Airport Extreme- "Limited or no connectivity" over and over and over

    Ok, our property manager gave us an Apple Extreme router (the old round one) and an Airport Express to use as an access point. I'm not an Apple guy, but hey, it was free. I used the the annoying Admin Utility software to configure the Extreme for security and all that (why can't we just configure it with a web browser??).
    For the last two weeks, the Apple network consistently drops me 2-3 times per hour, and I get the "limited or no connectivity" notice on my system tray. This happens every time I leave my computer for more than 10 minutes. Usually when I click "repair connection", the network allows me to reconnect, but occasionally I have to reboot. I checked the utility and my router is using the 5.7 firmware, and I figured that perhaps going with a firmware update may prevent the Airport from dropping me all day long.
    I can't seem to find any info on this problem. Searching Apple's support pages is disorienting because they don't always specify whether they're talking about the old Airport Extreme or the new 802.11n version. It's common sense that they should have a separate website for each router, since they are not the same thing, and also because they unfortunately bear the same name "EXTREME". After wandering in the fog for a while, I think that I have this right:
    Apple Admin Utility 4.2 is all that is necessary to configure the Airport Extreme "Old Round One", and the Airport Utility 5.0 and later is only supported by the Airport Extreme "802.11n". Think I got that right.
    Also, looking at the Admin Utility, there is an option in the top menu to "Upload Software", which I surmise means to flash the BIOS with the latest firmware.
    First of all, has anyone here had this problem with the flying saucer Airport? Also, is 5.7 the latest firmware? If not, where is it on Apple's site? Is that the solution to my problem?
    EDIT: The Airport Express is using the 6.3 firmware.

    I have the exact same Issue: windows 7, 64-bit running on a Macbook Air 4gb via Bootcamp.

    It is really annoying!
    Any advice?

  • I am trying to connect an airport extreme to extend my wifi coverage and it doesn't work

    I hope someone can help me.
    I have an Apple Airport extreme gen 5.  I have a BT router/modem that I connect to my broadband and its signal is OK but not great.  I have multiple apple devices, a windows PC, and a Panasonic smart TV.
    I also use Belkin poweline adaptors to attach the TV and apple TV to my network - its flaky.
    I was trying to attach the airport extreme to a powline adaptor in the lounge to extend my wireless network - it was green for a while but then flashed orange and stopped working.
    I have now reattached it directly to my router in the same room with an Ethernet cable and still get the orange light and the airport utility keeps asking to attach to the WAN port but then nothing works - I can still acccess the internet through my existing bt modem/router.
    Any ideas please?

    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    Make sure that the setting for Wireless Mode is set to Create a wireless network
    The Wireless Network name would be the same name as the BT network
    The Wireless Security would be the same setting that the BT router is using....should be WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA Personal
    The Wireless Password would be the same password as the BT network
    Verify Password
    Click the Internet icon
    Click the Internet Connection tab just below the icon
    The setting for Connect Using should be Ethernet
    The setting for Connection Sharing should be Off (Bridge Mode)
