AirPort Extreme LAN IP Address, where?

I open the AirPort utility and over the AirPort Extreme you get the list of computer connected wireless, but what about the wire (LAN Ports) I could not see any of the 3 computers connected. How or where its possible to fine the computers IP address connected trough the LAN Ports? I mean the DHCP List for the wire and wireless divice.
AirPort Extreme 7.6.1
AirPort Utility 6.0

i just set mine up right now...
open airport utility...manual...internet...DHCP... then change to the IP you like. i set mine to be DHCP range of 192.168.0.100 to .150 and AE set itself to 192.168.0.1

AirPort Extreme LAN IP address

Hi
Is it possible to set the LAN IP address of an AE (Simultaneous Dual-Band II)?
As the AE is my gateway I would prefer to have it's LAN IP address set to 192.168.x.254 rather than 192.168.x.1 which seems to be the default.
Cheers

Hi William
I don't see any way to do that in Airport Utility either.
The reason I want to do it is that I'm a network admin from way back (as the saying goes "when Pontius was a pilot") and .254 has always been the default for gateways. When I changed to the AE I had to edit a bunch of config files to cater for the gateway selecting .1 instead!
If it can't be done, it can't be done. But I think it's a shortcoming of the unit.
Thanks anyway.

I just wanted to add what Apple Support walked me through. Worked perfectly. Similar to some of the posts here. This assumes you have finished the setup of the Airport using DHCP to obtain the IP automatically from Comcast and it says the IP is invalid.
Power off\on Sequence
1, Power off Comcast Modem. Remove Battery back up, if it has one. Disconnect the coax cable.
2. Power off Airport Extreme
3. Let both sit for 3 minutes.
4. Reconnect coax cable to Comcast modem and replace battery and power up.
5. Wait a minute or two to make sure the Comcast modem is completely up and then Power on the Airport Extreme.

Freyfisher: I had the same problem whenn I switched to the Airport Extreme yesterday. Here is what I did:
1: uplugged modem for 30 sec. and detached all ethernet cables. Plugged back in and reattached airport extreme cable after all lights were solid on the modem. Then, I went into Airport Utility and selected, "Base Station"> "restore default settings". Then" Base Station"> Restart. Then go through setup assistant again. If no luck, try setting IPv4 to 10.0.1.2, subnet to 255.255.255.0, router to 10.0.1.1. IPv6 set to OFF if having trouble. DNS adresses: 75.75.75.75, 75.75.76.76, search domain hsd1.ST.comcast.net where "ST" is your two-letter State abbrev. Hope this helps someone....

I have also looked through other threads about this same problem, but none of the solutions (e.g. posts by Tesserax, followed to the letter) so far have worked.
Here are other things I have tried:
1. Called Cox to have them reset my modem, internet works through Ethernet directly from the modem
2. Downgraded AEBS firmware to 7.6.1 (oddly enough, now I cannot for the life of me update the firmware back to 7.6.4, always says cannot connect to update server)
I ran through the various solutions from this thread: "No DNS servers" and "Internet connection" problems with Comcast?
Still getting that pesky blinking amber light.

Airport Extreme LAN address limitations

On our branch office networks, we use different subnets from the 10.x.x.x private networking address space. Most begin with 10.1 or 10.10.
But so far as we can tell, Apple, unlike every single other low-end router vendor, has arbitrarily decided that the AirPort Extreme shall only provide addresses that begin with 10.0.

We are aware of those other ranges, but that does not resolve the problem that a horribly arbitrary limitation that Apple ALONE has imposed on the use of the 10.x.x.x address space is a PROBLEM.
We would have to
1. renumber every last network from scratch to accommodate a limitation that ONLY APPLE imposes.
2. Turn off the router functionality in the AirPort Extreme, dumbing it down into a mere wireless access point.
3. Send the AirPort Extreme back to the supplier.
We have opted for #3-- just send this stupid thing back and never order one again until we can confirm that Apple has corrected these silly design flaws.

How do i find my airport extreme's ip address

How do I find the ip address for my AirPort Extreme?

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
If the AirPort Extreme is performing as the main router on the network, Info will be displayed about the Internet, or public IP address, and also the private LAN or local IP address of the AirPort Exreme.
If another device is performing as the main router on your network, only the local IP address of the AirPort Extreme will be displayed.

Shared Printer Airport Extreme & LAN

I have a USB Canon i965 connected via USB to my imacG4. This is on a LAN that also has the Airport Extreme base station connected to it. Also on the LAN is a windowsXP machine.
Connected to the Airport is an imacG5.
I have successfully shared the printer with the XP machine using Bonjour for windows. The imacG5 (using the wireless connection)can see the G4 (verify the address etc during printer setup)but I have been unable to print from the imacG5 it says printing then "Job Stopped".
Does bonjour work with wireless connections or am I trying to do something that's impossible ?
iMacG5.1 Mac OS X (10.4.8) imacG4

I do have a router, the airport is plugged into the router.
My husband set it up but he's not a Mac person, he thinks I need to use something other than Bonjour to get the printing to work, but I can't find any alterntive ways to set up the printer. Here's the latest error essage from the logs
No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging

Airport Extreme invalid IP address, no DNS server

Hardware: Motorola SURFboard SB6141, Airport Extreme A1408
I recently set up a new internet service with Cox, plugged in the SB6141 and A1408 and everything set up perfectly, solid green light and wireless was flawless. However, electricity to my house had to be reset, and when the power came back on the green light on the Airport Extreme started to flashing amber. I did several hard/factory resets of the Airport Extreme as well as unplugging the modem and leaving everything unplugged for several minutes and then plugging everything back in. No matter what combination of things I try to do, the Airport Utility always tells me the same 2 errors: invalid IP address and no DNS server. Why was the Airport Extreme able to automatically set up the first time, but not now? Any ideas of what I can do? Thanks!

Pc will not work with Airport Extreme LAN connection

I have setup my Aiport Extreme Base Station and my Mac and phone work just fine with the setup. However, I connected a PC directly to one of the LAN ports on the back, and the PC doesn't see the network. Above the port the light is blinking green. Any thoughts?

Is the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) the only router in your current network configuration? That is, it is connected directly by Ethernet to your Broadband Internet modem? ... or to another router between the AEBS and the modem?
When connected by Ethernet to the AEBS, can the PC "see" the Mac or vice-versa?

Comcast & Airport Extreme Correct IP Address?

Apple Support had to help me setup my new Airport Extreme Router, as it turned out, due to a Comcast Internet problem in my area. Everything appears to be working correctly now, however, what is the correct default Apple Extreme IP Address? I found an article that stated 10.0.1.1 is not a valid IP address.
Please note, I am able to connect to the internet with my 2 laptops (wired or wireless), plus my iPhone, plus my Printer (USB connected to Airport Extreme), plus my DVD player and ROKU.
Thanks

Thanks for that quick response. Trust me, after the poor Apple Tech person had to work with me for an hour to get this working correctly, I am NOT touching it!
We couldn't get the Airport Extreme to recognize a valid router address - had to unplug the Comcast Ubee modem, take out the battery & we finally also disconnected the coax cable on the 3rd try. 3rd try was a charm & this has been fantastic for 3 days now. Then I found out there had been an issue with Comast Internet in my area, which may have caused us the setup heartache.
So thanks for answering and I am happy with the setup as is.

Can't add wireless client in Airport Extreme, what is and where is 8-digit pin?

Recently we bought a new MacBook Pro and at home I have a wireless network for my computer. I wanted to add the MBP to the network, but without using the network password, so I was looking around on here to see how to do it and I looked at the manual, but the manual doesn't tell me where or what the 8-digit pin is.
My question:
How do I add a client using an 8-digit pin, more specifically, where can I find this number?
I've looked at a few discussions in here regarding the same issue, but found no result. Sorry if this really has been solved before and I was not able to find it.
Details:
Computers:
iMac (bought in November 2007)
MacBook Pro (Sept 2011)
OSX:
Lion 10.7.1 (on both machines)
Airport Base Station:
Airport Extreme 802.11n (2nd Generation)
Version 7.5.2
Airport Utility:
Version 5.5.3 (553.20) (on airport admin machine, iMac)
Network:
-Closed
-Not extended
Wireless Security:
WPA2 Personal
I am unsure if this piece of information is of any use or importance, but I have an older machine (PowerMac G4) connected to the Aiport Extreme via Ethernet, aswell.
Thanks

Yes, I think so? Maybe I should have specified my goal with the network.
Since my brother got a new laptop, I needed to add him to the network somehow. I didn't want him to know/use my password, so I was looking into creating a separate network altogether, but as I learned I cannot do that with the Airport Extreme I have. Then I was looking into other ways that would allow me to let him use the network but without having to type in the password, and I found that "Add a Wireless Client" thing. According to that, all I needed to do was put in an 8-digit pin that was "provided" by the client. I thought that I could just make up some 8-digit pin and that ultimately would be his "password" for the network, but even typing in abritrary 8 digits wouldn't allow me to click on the "continue" button or whatever button that is, the button would remain inactive.
I temporarily changed the password to the network to have him added, for now (connecting normally, click network name and type in password), but if I can figure out how to get him on something separate or just him not having to type in the password, that would be better so I can revert or change my password to something else more meaningful for me.
I hope this makes more sense.

Latest model Airport Extreme: LAN NAS vs usb drive

new model AEBS: LAN NAS drive Vs usb connection.
Is there an actual (vs theoretical) speed advantage in using a NAS drive connected to one of the LAN ports, vs just connecting via the usb on the latest AEBS? I read the usb performance is much better on the new model: 192 Mbps read and 172 write via usb as per cnet test:

I'm trying to run a home media server wirelessly due to space constraints on my MacBook. I recently bought a 1TB USB drive and plugged it into my new Airport Extreme, but the download/upload speeds are not great. Would I be better served (pun intended) by a NAS drive connected via ethernet to the Airport? What kind of speed improvement would I see, if any?
here's what Tesserax posted recently:
Possibly.
+Use the following guidelines for typical throughput performance of an AirPort Disk depending on how the network client is connected to the AirPort Extreme:+
+o 5 GHz 802.11n: 2 MB/s (write) / 3.5 MB/s (read)+

ARD vs Airport Extreme - flaky 3283 addressing?

I have a MacPro and MacBook Pro behind an Apple Airport Extreme b/g/n (non-dual mode wireless). I use ARD 3.3.2 to access several servers. When I open ARD behind the Airport only a few machines show up as 'fully accessible' with a valid status entry and ability to do things like file copying. The rest of the machines show up as either 'Offline' or 'Screen Sharing Only', but in all cases those machines are fully accessible if one removes the Airport Extreme and connects directly to the internet.
Has anyone found a way around this bug?
Thanks!

Sorry, but there is no alternative to forwarding the ports; that's the way TCP/IP works with NAT (which the AE is using to give your laptop it's IP address). Forwarding is no less secure, though, than if the system has a native IP address.
But if you've turned off ARD in the Sharing preference on your laptop (I presume it's your admin laptop you're referring to), the ARD administration app will still work, but it will be impossible for anyone to access your laptop through ARD (and all but impossible though anything else), so you really don't need to worry. If you're truly concerned, you could run a traffic monitoring utility such as Little Snitch which can alert you to any attempts to access your system.

HH3 Airport Extreme DNS / router address issues

I have a HH3 hard wired (ethernet) from HH port 1 to the small circle port on the Airport Extreme. The AE extends the network around the house via Airport express and we have done this by creating a new network so we can connect either to the HH or to the AEBS network. The AEBS is set to bridge mode but wrong DNS and router addresses are given out by both HH and AEBS when the AE is turned on (192.1.68.1.2 instead of 192.168.1.254). We can bypass the issue by setting these manually but would prefer not to have to. If I turn the AE off, the HH issues the correct DNS and router addresses. I am asking the same question on the Apple forums but not everyone there is familiar with the HH.

Bizarrely, having tried every configuration on the AE, reminded of something vofsanity said to me in a previous thread, I unplugged a powerline extender and the problem seems to have fixed itself!

Setting Airport Extreme LAN IP

How can I change the LAN ip of my Airport extreme?
I have multiple Airport extremes.
I need NAT port forwarding on both. (these support externally available servers) I need the routing function on both routers. DHCP must be avail on at least one.
I have static IP's from my ISP for both routers I have already configured the WAN info for both. They work, but only if one is plugged in. because I can't change the LAN IP
Both routers MUST be on the SAME network.
The first one automatically assigned itself 192.168..1.1 I need to assign the second to 192.168.1.2
I wire the WAN ports to the ISP for each router.
I connect both routers via ethernet on the LAN ports to the network.
Basically, one can be a AP, but I still need it to do port forwarding, which means it needs to be NAT (at least) so bridge mode won't work.
have updated the firmware on both, but see no place to specify the LAN IP, other than using a different network 192.x.x.x vs 10.x.x.x which is useless, because I need them to be on the same network.

i just set mine up right now...
open airport utility...manual...internet...DHCP... then change to the IP you like. i set mine to be DHCP range of 192.168.0.100 to .150 and AE set itself to 192.168.0.1

Airport Extreme changing MAC address

I have a very frustrating situation. One of the UFO airport extremes on our network is spontaneously changing it's MAC address. In the server logs, there is a message that IP address "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx moved from MACaddress1 to MACaddress2". The IP address is for the airport base station and one of the MACaddresses is the WAN port of the of the base station. There are times when the MAC address changes back and forth several times in a span of a few minutes. Needless to say, this is causing severe problems with our wireless network.
I have flushed the routing table on our servers. I have done a hard reset and reconfigured the base station.
Let me know if more information is needed.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

cdated, Welcome to the discussion area!
Since there is no way to change the MAC addresses used by theAirPort Extreme base station (AEBS), I would suspect that another device is acquiring/using the AEBS's IP address.
Have you tracked down the device/port using this 2nd MAC address?

AirPort Extreme LAN IP Address, where?
