Airport Extreme connected to HN9000 hughesnet

Here is the history of this question
1. Buddy got HughesNet
2. We hooked up DLINK DGL-4500
3. Had issues due to ip address conflicting between hughestnet modem/router and router
4. Changed ip address of router and all worked.
5. Bought Airport Extreme
6. Hooked it up
7. Seems like same issue but having problems trying to change ip address of router to not conflict.  Tried changing ip range for DHCP then get other errors.  Everyone says the HN9000 handles DHCP and NAT, however when I look at the status of the HN9000 it shows DHCP disabled?
8. The main issue after setting it up is DOUBLE NAT.  The Airport Extreme shows blinking yellow instead of green.  You can still access the internet but want to solve the DOUBLE NAT issue.  Which I think is related to the airport extreme router ip address being the same as the HN9000.
What settings should I use on Airport Extreme?
INTERNET - DHCP or STATIC?  Guessing this should be DHCP since we don't have STATIC IP from ISP.  I believe this indicates how the router should get IP address from Modem.
NETWORK - DHCP and NAT or DHCP or PPOE.....  I believe this means what the router should perform for clients.  Default is DHCP and NAT.

Two wireless routers in close proximity to each other will definitely increase the likelihood of wireless interference occuring between them.
Unless you really need the FIOS wireless network, it would be a good idea to turn off the wireless function on the FIOS router.
How you do that is really a question for FIOS support, not Apple.
In general, you would type in the default IP address of your FIOS router into your browser.....something like 192.168.0.1, for example only. FIOS support will have the correct IP address to use...or...it might be on the back or bottom of the FIOS router.
That will  bring up the configuration interface for the FIOS router. Look for a wireless tab or a wireless page. From there, it is a simple matter to disable the wireless function on the device and save the changes.

  • Can airport extreme connect using a mac mini.  the base station is not recognized so i cannot configure it manually

    can airport extreme connect using a mac mini.  this airport extreme wont connect to internet via my cable modem.  I cant set it to bridge mode because it doesnt appear as a base station in airport utitlity...help

    First, is your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) a 802.11n, 802.11g, or 802.11b model? Second, what is your primary goal for using this base station? Finally, is the AEBS the only router in your current network configuration?

  • I wanted to know whether i can diffuse music to the bluetooth only speakers from a airport extreme-connected hard drive through my mac?

    I'm interested in the new soundlink mini Bose wireless speakers that function only via bluetooth. I wanted to diffuse music to them from an airport extreme connected hard drive through my macbook air. I don't want to stoc music on my mac given the limited flash drive and don't want to go though wires again. Is that possible? Also I can't go with airport express since those speakers don't have the airplay function.
    Thanks a lot for your help or ideas

  • Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

    Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

    This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
    In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

  • Can you have two airport extreme connected in the same network?

    You can have two airport extreme connected at the same time in a network?
    like if you have a modem, you can connect two airport extreme in that modem?

    You can have two airport extreme connected at the same time in a network?
    Yes
    like if you have a modem, you can connect two airport extreme in that modem?
    Airport Extreme
    You should plan to connect one AirPort Extreme to the modem and the second AirPort Extreme to the first. The first Extreme will connect to the modem using an Ethernet cable. The second Extreme can connect to the first also using an Ethernet cable, or it can connect using wireless only.

  • Airport extreme connect to my wifi router (wep 128bits) but no extend

    hello,
    as i said, my airport extreme connect to my router, get an ip by DHCP, say it's connected to my network but it's say it can't extend the network.
    when i launch the airport utility on a computer connected to my router it discover the airport extreme but can't configure it (get error 10057), but it see the airport extreme, this mean it's connected to my lan...so why it can't extend the wifi network ? an idea ??

  • How do I find my airport extreme connected hard drive?

    I've connected a hard drive to my airport extreme...but it doesn't appear in my devices list in Finder or on my desktop...what am I doing wrong?

    In addition to Kappy's comments, make sure that the drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)  and that you are using a powered USB hub since the port on the AirPort Extreme is under powered.
    You won't find the drive under Devices in the Finder.
    Instead, look for your AirPort Extreme icon under the SHARED heading on the left of pane when you open the Finder and then click on the AirPort Extreme icon to display a folder representing your drive in the right hand side of the window.
    Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop.

  • Airport extreme connection problem after adding computer to network

    just added new imac to my network and for some reason my older imac {dome desktop} seems to have stopped recognizing the AEBS. the older imac was hooked up to the AEBS by ethernet and when i moved it across the room it fails to read the AEBS. I had installed the airport card a few mos ago and i know it worked...although most recently was ethernet connected. I cannot be certain the new computer addition is even related but seems to be. Have checked all the airport utility settings and see no issues. I did fool around with some network sharing features on the imacs so ? if that can create issue sharing the AEBS. Interestingly the affected imac does detect the AEBS in the utility app but times out when attempting to connect. also think i may have done recent AEBS download upgrade and see threads related to that as poss issue . have reverted back to older AEBS software without success. new ibook and new imac detect/connect without problem. Any thoughts out there??? thx for any help.

    Is your AEBS configured to create an 802.11g compatible network? It must be for the iMac G4 to connect.
    What channel is the AEBS configured to use?
    If the AirPort Extreme card in your iMac G4 is from the US it can only use the channels between 1 and 11. If your AEBS is from somewhere else in the world it can use other channels which are not available for use with equipment from the US.
    If your AEBS is not using a channel between 1 and 11, change it and see if your iMac G4 can connect.

  • Airport extreme connection issues

    Yesterday, I bought a new Comcast-compatible modem (Motorola SB5101) and an airport extreme.  These replaced an old (5 years or so) SB5101 and an equally-old airport express, which was too old for my new MacBook Pro to be able to manage it through airport utility.
    I replaced both components because I got sick of my internet connection dropping constantly, many times a day for the last few years.  (I know, but it's true!)
    Comcast insists that the signal coming into the house is fine and is constant, so it's not the ISP dropping the connection.
    The cable comes into the house, into the modem.  Ethernet goes from the modem into a Sprint AirRave (Sprint says that must be how it's set up).  From the AirRave, the ethernet goes to the airport express.  From there, I can connect computers and devices wirelessly, but from the airport express, an ethernet also goes into my home distribution panel, so that in each room of the house you can plug directly into the ethernet (about 8 outlets).
    The problem happens whether or not the AirRave is installed.
    Sometimes the connection drops for a few seconds and re-connects.  Most often when it drops, and I go into Network Preferences Diagnostics, Wi-Fi = green light; same with Wi-Fi Settings, Network Settings, and ISP.  But Internet and Server = yellow.
    Sometimes running the diagnostic fixes it and it re-connects.  Other times you must reset the airport and/or the modem.  Sometimes it will not re-connect even after multiple times re-setting those deivces.
    Since installing the airport extreme yesterday, sometimes I get a message on my Macbook Pro that says my MAC address is being used by another device (?).
    I have no knowledge about networks AT ALL, no idea how my computer can have the same MAC address as anything else, no idea what specific settings I should be using -- I always have let the setup happen automatically.
    If anyone has any idea how to solve this I'd be very grateful.  I'm not sure whether I've given enough details, like I say I lknow NOTHING about how to set up a Network.
    It was a nightmare setting it up yesterday, once I got it up according to instructions, I was in an endless loop -- every time I tried to open a page in my browser, I was taken to the Comcast Setup page instead, asking for my phone number and account number.  Entering this took me to a new page saying "unable to connect with our system."  I was on the phone with Comcast forever trying to fix it, resetting the modem and airport over and over again.  Eventually somehow it worked, but later that night (and again already this morning) the connection has dropped a number of times.
    I thought getting new components would fix the problem, now I'm so frustrated I don't know what to do.
    Anyone?
    Thanks!!
    -- Craig.

    Since installing the airport extreme yesterday, sometimes I get a message on my Macbook Pro that says my MAC address is being used by another device (?).
    This usually indicates that there may be something amiss with the NAT service or that each network client cannot access it properly.
    To verify that the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), Motorola modem, or Internet service is NOT the issue, we will temporarily remove the AirRave from the network equation.
    To do so, please power-down the modem, AirRave, AEBSn, and computer(s). While they are all powered-down, disconnect the Ethernet cable going to the AirRave.
    Next,
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the AirRave and Ethernet distribution patch panel.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Temporarily connect the Ethernet cable coming from the modem to the WAN port of the AEBSn.
    Reconnect the Ethernet cables coming from the AEBSn's LAN ports to the Ethernet Distribution Patch Panel.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Airport Extreme Connected to Internet but Macbook Pro will not

    I'm living in an apartment and using an Airport Extreme to supply wireless connection. The internet is paid for by the apartment complex and I have no access to the modem. Up until yesterday the internet worked fine for all devices. I did several factory resets on the Airport Extreme and now have confirmed internet access with my PS3 and smartphone connected to the wireless network. However, my macbook pro will connect to the wireless network but will not go beyond that to the web. I have renewed DHCP leases, reset network configurations and deleted plists to refresh everything but it still does not work. I have noted that when connected to the network, I have an IP address that begins with 192.168.x.x and the macbook states the router address begins the same way. The Airport Extreme displays an IP address of 172.xxx.x.x
    I can manually input the routers IP address into my laptops network configuration and create an IP similar and connect to the internet through the laptop but if I want to connect to other networks I have reset that information. It simply won't work automatically. The airport extreme is setup in bridge mode. That is the only setup which would offer stable networking without any dropping or the device disappearing from the airport utility.
    I'm currently out of my apartment and will call my ISP later today, but this problem has affected my roommates macbook's as well. My last attempt to connect directly into the wall ethernet jack yielded the same results without any internet connection.

    Try this:
    Put the Airport Extreme in Bridge Mode and plug the apartment ethernet cable into a normal ethernet port on the back of the Airport Extreme instead of the normal "Internet" ethernet port.

  • Airport Extreme Connected to Internet, Yet No Longer to Powerbook G4

    Airport was connected over a cable modem to the internet just fine until last night.
    It stopped working--no browser or email.
    I can still connect fine directly from the cable modem though.
    Internet Connect seems to think I have a strong connection, but my applications (browser, emails) disagree.
    I've been accross the internet and back trying to solve this.
    I've tried:
    a) Apple>System Preferences>Network shows:
    "Airport is connected to the network <<my network name>>. You are connected to the internet via AirPort"
    b) Apple>System Preferences>Assist me>Assistant
    (or Applications>Utilities>Airport Setup Assistant) shows:
    "Congratulations! Your Airport Extreme is configured to connect to the Internet and share a USB printer. If you use a cable modem to connect to the Internet, you may need to turn the modem off, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on."
    Internet Connect then, still, shows a strong signal level and status reads: "Connected to <<my network name>>. Connected to the internet via Ethernet."
    c) Apple>System Preferences>Assist me>Diagnostics:
    Airport works
    Airport Settings = failed
    It then wants me to reboot the device (i.e., I think, the modem or whatever else isn't sending a singnal to the computer).
    I tried this but again, the modem works fine .... it seems to be somewhere between the PowerBook and Airport Extreme that is the problem.
    d) I've tried with no success downgrading from Airport Extreme Firmware V5.6 to V5.5.1
    e) With no success I've reinstalled from CD the Airport Extreme software V4.2
    f) With no success I've selected "Enable interference robustness" thinking perhaps another network in the building was interfering (airport seems to recognize another airport but iStumbler doesn't seem to).
    g) I've messed with Apple>System Preferences>Network>Configure so much now that if there was anything that isn't broken, it probably is now.
    I've taken a crash course in AirPort over the last 24 hours (and failed) and have soft (5 seconds) and hard booted (30 seconds?) this thing so many time .... I'm ready to, you know, boot it out the door next (it has a nice aerodynamic shape I've come to really appreciate in the last several hours).
    I know there is something I'm doing wrong, overlooked, or haven't tried.
    Any thoughts????
    Thanks in advance,

    Jayson,
    It sounds like your airport needs to be changed to no longer distribute IP addresses the way it is currently set to do. Go to the airport setup, make note of settings as you go (shift + command + 4, select area with "crosshair" cursor and let go to make a pdf of the screen, selected area, print the pdf in PREVIEW if you want to save yourself the time writing them down!), and MAKE SURE YOU ONLY CHANGE WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND and are sure of. Sorry for yellin'!
    In the airport settings (sorry, I'm retrieving from my organic grey/white matter memory here), I believe there is a place in the internet tab for changing the APX to no longer distribute IP addresses, or to share single IP's, etc. If you wish, try to see if toggling off the distribution, rebooting (not resetting) devices, and starting up the computer allows a "tunnel" through the modem.
    Many cable/DSL modems are firmware-set to ALSO distribute IP addresses, so the two devices (modem and airport) are constantly sending packets back-and-forth, handshaking endlessly and the most recently "shaken hand" is the device distributing addresses.
    The problem arises here (or, at least this is one case I am describing in which your symptoms match up closely) since your computer sees the packets, the web traffic and "open door," etc., but it is somewhat like thinking a window is a door. You can see out of it, verify the "door" by looking outside, but the lock is on the OUTSIDE (the modem), locking you in, with your airport sitting idly and thinking that you can get out since it is essentially letting you have a distributed IP address...it's all rather like the mom from "Carrie" or something...you and your dirty pillows. Stay inside the closet for now-- yeah, right.
    If shutting of distribution in your airport still allows the computer to connect as wired to the LAN port and your modem still plugged into the airport's WAN port (after saving airport settings and rebooting all devices, computer LAST, airport a few minutes after the modem), you are even more likely to be in this aformentioned battle of the handshaking devices.
    If so, find out from manuals/manufacterer's online notes/good state-side non-Apple tech help (and other fictional situations) if the cable modem can be set to not act like a router, and more like a modem by just giving one DHCP address, or static address if you must, and not conflicting with a router. Don't say airport unless you must-- so many tech-help places quote the crapola cop-out that Apple isn't compatible or something. Most of the time, cable modems only require the fairly universal web packet compatibility, and the mac/airport does the rest. Very few modems, especially from a large broadband provider, will prevent you from using an airport or a mac. The few I have seen were firmware issues with older, rather ready-to-be-shot DSL modems that should have been doorstops or clay pigeon surrogates a long time ago.
    If you can play around (with guidance) and reset the modem to simply get an IP, send it to the router (that is, the airport), and then let the airport do the distribution, all you have to do is switch the airport back to distributing a range of addresses-- I like the 10.0.1.x selection, but I find the last of three choices (something like 169.x.x.x) to occassionaly be the magic x-factor bullet from Narnia that makes the bells ring and your airport finally wired AND wireless.
    Before you heed any "advice" I may be stating, do some googling regarding the topics I mentioned, since NOBODY is all-knowing or perfect in ANYTHING, and I don't want your problems to be worse. Exhaust all other sources of information that you may have, but the above prattling was from my troubleshooting an endless stream of constant problems with a similar setup, and it may help you. Reply if you wish and I'll add more if you want.
    Sorry if I'm writing like a monkey *(&%% a football on an icy pond. I'm juggling a few upgrade jobs on my workbench, and listening to the new INXS album from itunes, so I'm a little geared up. BEST OF LUCK! Happy holidays, whatever they may be for you.

  • Airport Extreme connects to Epson all in one printer, scanner doesn't work

    I got a new Airport Extreme to connect my all-in-one printer, copier, scanner Epson CX8400. Connecting the printer feature to my MacBook Pro and my HP laptop was very easy, however can't get the scanning feature to work. Has anyone had this same issue? Do you know how to solve it other than plugging the USB cable directly to the computer? thanks!

    Hi Carlos9912,
    Does the Epson CX8400 support scanning over WiFi/Bonjour? I know my two HP Photosmart printers and my Epson I have do not support scanning over WiFi/Bonjour, despite the fact that they support printing functionality.

  • Airport Extreme Connection problem with new MacBook

    Help-
    For the past 2 years, I have had no problems with my Airport Extreme. My MacBook Pro (2006), My wife's iBook G4 and two AirPort Express units used as remote speaker connections have been rock solid. Both iPhone and one iPod touch work like a charm.
    I just got my wife a new MacBook and since it came in and was connected, my Air Port Extreme has been nothing but a problem, requiring a hard reset every couple of days. As long as that MacBook is not connected, everything is fine.
    Anyone have any ideas? Only the MacBook is using 802.11n. It is so frustrating, that my wife want to use her old iBook so if this can't get fixed, the MacBook is going back to Apple.

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    From your description, it sounds like the wireless communications between the AirPort Extreme and your wife's MacBook are picking up some sort of wireless interference from another source such as a cordless phone or another nearby security system.
    I suggest that you try different channels for your wireless to see if you can find a setting with less interference. To do this, you would:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme and then click Manual Setup below
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Look for the Radio Channel or Channel setting
    You may need to hold down the option key as you click on the selection box to display all available choices.
    Start at the highest channel and work your way down, or start at the lowest and work your way up.
    Click Update at the lower right of the window to save your current setting and the AirPort Extreme will restart in 20-25 seconds.
    It will take some time to find the optimum channel for your network, so proceed slowly and take a few notes as you go.

  • AirPort Extreme Connection Failed with Hard Disk EVERYDAY!

    This is getting really annoying now, I have currently three x 2TB hard drives plugged into the AirPort Extreme via a 4 Bay Enclosure.
    Everyday, now and then, the connection fails. Meaning it wont let me backup and says "Couldn't find disk". And nor can I access the hard drives on the AirPort Extreme with finder, it just says Connection Failed. Nor can I open up airport utility, it says Reading Settings and then it says "input password to check settings on AirPort Extreme" so I put in the password and it loops over again.
    Only way I can fix it is unplugging and pugging the AirPort Extreme back in.. WHY!!!!!!!!!?????? The AEBSn is in my basement along with the drives, it's very very very annoying. How do I fix it?
    ALSO I NOTICED THAT THE INTERNET ONLY WORKS ON MY MACBOOK AIR and DOES NOT WORK ON MY WINDOWS 7 MACHINE, when this happens.

    Exact same problem here.  It used to really work well, Time Machine and all -- some Airport Extreme firmware revisions back.  But whether it's changes to firmware or something else I don't know.  It just started dropping the share point all the time and I'd have to restart or power cycle the Extreme to get it back.  The shared printing to an HP Laserjet 1200 connected to the Extreme consistently works, never fails from any Mac in the house.
    My solution:  I gave up.  I have a good high-powered hub -- the one I was using for printer and hard drive on the Extreme -- that can consistently support two externally powered USB drives.  (I already have another external hard drive connected to my MacBook Air because my iTunes library finally outgrew the Air's built-in drive.)  So I took the hub from the Extreme, plugged it in to the Air, connected my iTunes library hard drive and the storage/Time Machine hard drive to the hub.
    Honestly, I prefer it this way.  Printing works great via the Extreme USB connected printer.  The network connection locally and to the Internet works great.  Now Time Machine consistently works with the drive locally connected.  I wouldn't even trade it for a Time Capsule because I'd still be dealing with Wi-Fi speeds.  Doing a full Time Machine backup, about 107 GB, to the networked Time Machine volume took about 9 hours over pure 802.11n.  Incremental backups and indexing those backups sometimes slowed my Air to a crawl.  Connected via the hub to the Air the full backup took 90 minutes and incrementals I don't even notice are running.  I rarely have reason to retrieve things from Time Machine, but just going into it takes like no time now.  As fast or faster than starting other applications.  And when I go mobile with the Air, I just eject the external hard drives and pull the hub's USB connector.
    Sorry I don't have anything in the way of a real solution.  But I'd long ago switched the other Macs in the house to locally connected external USB drives for Time Machine -- and nobody makes critical changes to the data on those Macs on a regular basis, anyway.
    So I just got sick of pulling my hair out, I was the only one using the Airport Extreme networked drive for Time Machine or anything else.  I threw in the towel.  I spend two or three times the money on Macs than "comparable" Windows computers would cost me and I do that because I'm not by trade a technician.  I just want to do my work, the part of it requring a computer, with no hassles.  I can learn these technical troubleshooting things but that gets in the way of what I really do for work.  So when I have my pricey Mac not properly connecting to my pricey Airport Extreme and I've spent hours and hours reconfiguring and trying to suss it out, I'll happily concede the battle and get back to the rest of my life.

  • Hard drive and airport extreme connection problem.

    Hi folks,
    I have an airport extreme and a WD 1TB pasport for mac hard drive. I had it connected for ages and used it to load movies onto to keep my macbook empty. I had no problems accessing it wirelessly through Finder until today when i configured the extreme to run at 5ghz. When i try to connect now, it tells me that the ip address is wrong but im connected to the extreme for internet. Any clues or solutions?

    your Airport Extremes ip address is the red square, Then your going to copy that
    So in the red box instead of Http:// we are going to put ftp:// then you should get
    a pop up say connecting to server and I hope you do get that.

Maybe you are looking for
