AirPort Extreme to Static IP from ISP (MegaPath)

Hello,
We have just purchased MegaPath's Ethernet service.  We would like to pair our Modem with our new AirPort Extreme.
MegaPath provided us with 5 IP addesses.  We would like to only assign one to our Airport Extreme and run off of that.
This is for a buisness and we're running around 25 iMacs and 30 devices. (all trying to connect wirelessly)
Can someone please help provide instructions on how to configure our Airport Extreme.
Really could use some help here --- Please

Please let us know what version(s) of AirPort Utility you have available for the task.
The short version is that you just need to tell your AirPort Extreme to use static addressing and the IP addresses for itself, the router, and its DNS servers. You may also need to configure your MegaPath modem/router to match.

  • Airport Extreme w/ static IP address issue

    I'm using a westell 7501 in front of my airport extreme to connect to our ISP. Our static IP from the ISP worked great until our Mountain Lion server upgrade. Something has changed and I can't seem to troubleshoot it.
    I've returned everything to factory defaults and started from scratch, but still I am unable to get the westell to pass on the communication to the Airport, so we can connect to our internal network when offsite. DNS settings on Server are correct and report back fine through testing.
    When I check the IP it returns the address of the westell. Any ideas on how I can get this communication chain back to the Airport? Previously, if I checked the IP it would return our static IP and I'm at a loss on this one, however I am not a networking specialist either.

    Sorry, but I don't know. If you do a Web search for "Windows" and "AFP" (each without the quotes) you'll see a number of hits that might help.

  • Can I use my iPad with airport extreme to retrieve files from a USB connected hard drive?

    Can I use my iPad with airport extreme to retrieve files from a USB connected hard drive?

    Yes, I believe so. Please check out the NetPortal app. I don't have an iPad, but I use it on my iPod Touch to access files on my Time Capsule. It is available from the iTunes App Store.

  • Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

    Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

    If this hard drive is part of a NAS device, then yes it should be accessable from either a Mac or PC while connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) by Ethernet.

  • I am running 10.8 and setup airport extreme to run music from my imac to my receiver in the other room. When I open sound from system preferences, I don't see an external device to choose, other then internal speakers. Any ideas?

    Airport Express (the small Airport device, which is the only one with an audio connection) works through Airtunes, which only works with iTunes. The computer won't send ALL system sound to the Airport. If you actually want to send sound outside of iTunes, use Airfoil.

  • Setting Up AirPort Extreme for Static IP

    We purchased a new AirPort Extreme about a month ago.  It was very easy to set up and worked very well for all of the devices in our home, with the exception of VPN connections on our work laptops.  These were incredibly slow (taking 20-30 minutes to open large spreadsheets, etc.).  We talked to our ISP (4G satellite connection) about this, and they recommended going to a static IP.  I have used the AirPort Utility to enter the IP address, sub net mass, router address and DNS numbers, and the AirPort indicates everything is set up properly (green status light, no errors in AirPort Utility), but it will no connect.  Looking at the Internet Connection through AirPort Utility, it has all the correct numbers but the connection says "disconnected".  I am able to establish an ethernet connection directly from the modem to a computer and connect with no issues.  And the ISP has confirmed that the modem is working properly.
    What am I missing to get the connection throughb to my AirPort Extreme?
    Thanks for any help and suggestions you can provide.

    Hi..
    I have this same question.
    Yes i did change all those and have tried with all the possible settings.
    Still the problem persists..It shows all the configuration and all is right and still it is not connecting to internet.
    Cross checked with the ISP, Tried same configuration in the mac machine(It's working) everything else seems to be fine but only the Airport is not connecting to the Internet.
    Any solution or clarification will be appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Airport Extreme and Static IP

    My ISP requires a static IP address. When I connect my MacBook pro to ethernet and set manual properties it always sticks and works. However when I set up my airport extreme manually it always changes the ip address to one that is non functional and will not let me connect to internet. How do I get the IP address that i set to remain saved after every restart.

    The whole point of a home router is to let you share one real-world IP address amongst more than one computer in the house. In order to do that, the home router must give out new IP addresses that's in the private address pool (which are not valid on the outside world), and then the router will direct outside traffic to the correct home computer on the inside.
    To use a static IP address assigned to you by the ISP. You open the Airport Utility, select the AEBS on the list and click manual setup
    Go to the Internet pane and setup as follows:
    Connecting Using: Ethernet
    IPv4: Manually
    IP Addr: Given by ISP
    Subnet Mask: Given by ISP
    Router Addr: Given by ISP
    DNS Servers: Given by ISP
    Sharing: Share a public IP address

  • Set Up Airport Extreme with Static IPs and DHCP same time

    I have Verizon Fios to my Business with 5 Static IP Address. One of them must be assigned to the Airport Extreme Base Station. I have 5 iMacs needing internet connection of which 2 need to use a static ip,( Filemaker Server and my Mac OS X Web Server). I also use 2 iPhones with a custom App accessing that FileMaker Server via the internet too. I want to set up my Airport Extreme Base Station to have those 2 iMacs connected with static ips , which must NEVER CHANGE, via an ethernet cable and all the rest wireless with WiFi. Do to the size of my building I also want another Airport Extreme or Express to just expand the range from the Base Station for the wireless connections only. Looking at the Airport Internet Settings I only see 3 options for Connection Sharing, "Share A Public IP Address", "Distribute a range of IP addresses", "Off (Bridge Mode)". I'm thinking I need to give 1 IP Address to the Base Station, 2 ip addresses to my servers, then 1 ip address to share for my wireless DHCP connections. The additional Airport set to Off(Bridge Mode) to expand the base station. Please advise on how I would set up that base station to do this.

    With respect to expanding the base stations range, in the Base stations Wireless Settings I would click to select "Allow this network to be extendeded". Then what settings would I need in the Additional Airport?
    Note: Both AirPorts would have to be 802.11n models in order for this to work. The additional AirPort would need to be configured to extend the Extreme. (ref: AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless > Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network)
    Would that NEED to be connected to the base station via ethernet cable or will it pick up the base station wirelessly?
    Using the "extend" feature is intended to expand the wireless range of an AirPort with another wirelessly. You would not need to connect them by Ethernet. In this configuration, the additional AirPort would be in bridge mode and will pass through the IP information from the other base station's DHCP service.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11g disconnects from the internet randomly. Help =(

    O.K.
    i have had this airport extreme (old one shaped like a dome) for about 5 years now... its been working fine until about a couple of months ago it has started to randomly disconnect me and my family from the internet. I know its not my modem or my ISP because if i connect my computer to my modem directly i get internet. Im not sure really what to do. Every time it does this, i have to restart my router and it works again. It does this at least once every day. Any idea how to fix this?
    By the way: i bought a time capsule a week ago, thinking that it was time for a new router, but instead it was twice as slow and i couldn't even load a page. I've tried restarting it over and over gain and it has yet to have solved the problem. I guess I'm just getting unlucky :/

    Define "router" - do you mean it works if you restart your AirPort Extreme or the modem?
    Just because your modem works with your computer does not mean it's not buggy when used with an AirPort base station.
    The fact that you had issues with a Time Capsule seems to confirm that.

  • How do I configure my AirPort Extreme to allow printing from my Macbook to an HP PSC 1210?

    I currently have an AirPort Extreme [model A1354] connected by cable to an iMac [3.2 GHz i3 / 10.6.7]. I have an HP PSC 1210 series "All-in-one" printer attached to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Printing from the iMac works just fine.  However, I cannot print from my Macbook [ 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo / 10.5.8]. While the printer shows up when I go to "Add a printer", I still cannot print to the printer.  When I hit print, the print window closes, but nothing prints.

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the  AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.  
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try. 
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule 
    Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

  • Access AirPort Extrems USB hard drive from Android

    I'm starting a new discussion because I erroneously marked my earlier discussion "solved".
    I've been using a USB connected disk drive on my AirPort Extreme from my Android tablet for years.  Since upgrading the AirPort to version 7.6.4 I can no longer access the disk drive from the tablet.  I have not changed anything on the tablet, only the AirPort.
    The tablet can see the AirPort itself as 10.0.1.1 and can see the attached disk drive, but when I try to access the drive I get a series of possible errors including Firewall issues,  SMB service is off or out of scope and WLAN is off.
    I don't know how to look at the firewall on the AirPort or check on the SMB service (I can't find either topic in AirPort Utility).
    I have tried a factory reset, and also reverting back to version 7.5.2 as suggested in the other thread, but I still get the same message when I try to connect.
    The drive is fully accessible from either of the two Macs on the network.
    Please help - I really need to access files on this disk from the tablet.  I konw Dropbox will work, but ti's cumbersome and I don't really want some of the files to live on Dropbox.
    Walt

    I would venture to say that the issue may be related to the AirPort firmware update not being compatible with the current version of firmware on your Android tablet. Of course, you probably already know this. I'm not aware of any incompatibilities between these two devices as Apple has not provided any information on this.
    As far as firewall on the AirPort, unless you are accessing the Extreme from a remote location its NAT firewall would be a mute issue. About SMB, this is automatically enabled when you configure the Extreme to share out an external USB HDD. So there is no setting to change there either.
    I have tried a factory reset, and also reverting back to version 7.5.2 as suggested in the other thread, but I still get the same message when I try to connect.
    If your Android was not having this issue when the Extreme was running 7.5.2 firmware, but is now after downgrading it to this version tends to make me believe the issuse may be with your tablet. Is there a potential firmware update for it?

  • How do I put AirPort Extreme in bridging mode from iOS app?

    I need to put my AirPort Extreme into bridging mode. I've searched here and the Net and can only find how to do it from a Mac. Can someone please tell me how to do it from the iOS AirPort Utility? This is a Windows and iOS device only network. I do not have any Macs and the Windows version of the utility so far only supports the Express.

    Thanks for the response, although I was a bit crestfallen at first, since I had already got that far but could not change the Router Mode. Your response did let me know I was indeed on the right path so I started thinking about what else might need to be changed. I finally figured out that before selecting "Advanced" you need to:
    Select Internet Connection
    Change from PPPoE to DHCP in the top group of three buttons
    Then continue as you described
    At that point I could change the Router Mode to Off and I'm happily WiFi-ing with my spiff new Apple router. Ah well, that's what I get for not having any Macs

  • Have new Airport Extreme via ethernet cable from HughesNet Gen4 modem. Using NetGear WN3500RP extender. NetGear asks for different names for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Most of what I have read indicats extender shoul have same name as main network?

    Have new Airport Extreme conneted via ethernet cable from HughesNet Gen4 modem. Using NetGear WN3500RP extender. NetGear asks for different names for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Most of what I have read indicates extender should have same name as main network? How is it best to configure with the Airport Extreme router 802.11ac?

    Different names for the 2.4 and 5 GHz networks are optional, but can be convenient for you to distinguish one from another. It's up to you.

  • Why does Airport Extreme frequently lose connection to ISP?

    Today my Airport Extreme purchased in March 2011 has lost connection to the internet 4 times.  I have had to reboot it each time to resume using the internet.  Does this indicate a problem with this new airport exteme.  If so do I return it to an Apple Store for repair or replacement?

    Today my Airport Extreme purchased in March 2011 has lost connection to the internet 4 times.  I have had to reboot it each time to resume using the internet.  Does this indicate a problem with this new airport exteme.
    Possibly, but it may also indicate that the communication between the modem and the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) is faulty.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    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.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), 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 blocking port 25 from my macbook pro

    My airport extreme is not supporting port 25 from my macbook pro, only product in my residence that port 25 is not supported. (iPads, iPods, macbook air)

    I believe I understand this better now. When I unplug my MacBook Pro from the network including disabling Wi-Fi, then when I open AirPort Utility it of course shows and I am no longer connected to my home network on the MBP. All the other hardwired or Wi-Fi connected computers, printers, hard drives and iPads are still connected.
