Am I able to connect my Airport Extreme direct to my Sky Broadband?

I have Sky Broadband which comes with it's very own router - but I connect my Airport Extreme to this router and use my Airport Extreme for my wireless network.
Reason why I want to know is because I need to Forward Ports on my AE but it is conflicting, and apparently it's because I am in Bridge mode.

Hmm,
Well I followed this -> http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/sky-broadband-tutorial-section/10975-how-set-up-p ort-forwarding-internal-web-server.html
but guessing it's maybe not exact to what I need to do.
Basically I am running Daylite Server and I need to forward ports to allow me to access my Daylite database away from the network.
According to the Daylite folk, I need to have this information:

Driving me mad.

  • How do I connect my airport extreme to wifi as a repeater

    how do I connect my airport extreme to wifi as a repeater?

    Thanks for the info.
    Unfortunately, Apple has designed their routers to only extend or repeat the wireless signal from other Apple routers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that the AirPort Extreme would be able to extend or repeat a wireless signal from another manufacturer's router.
    I suppose that it could not hurt to try, but if the Extreme is still unopened, it might be a better idea to return the Extreme, get the information about the router at the neighbor's and then use a product from the same manufacurer that would be compatible to repeat or extend the wireless.

  • Time Machine doesnt see my USB drive, connected to Airport extreme =(

    Hello,
    I've been trying to figure this one out for almost 3 weeks now, but with no luck. I have a usb hard drive, connected to airport extreme. I've clicked on "setup time machine", select "choose disk", there is no disk to select. So I click on the "set up time capsule, it takes me to airport utility. I then click on the "disk" button and file sharing is enabled.
    I can mount the disk through the finder, just fine and able to transfer files back and forth, however time machine cant seem to pick up the drive. Would love to be able to use time machine to do backups, So can someone please help?
    osx 10.5.5 with airport utility 5.3.2
    Thanks in advance!

    Well this has worked for me. I have a Freecom 500Gb usb hard Drive connected through an unpowered 4-way USBhub to an Airport Extreme Base station. After mounting the Air Disk hard drive on my powerbook, I then dragged the disk to my user folder, thereby creating an alias. I have put that alias in my login items and now TimeMachine works beautifully. I've repeated it on a Mac Mini (also using OSX 10.5.5) and that seems to be fine too. Admittedly the back-ups take a long time over airport, but fine via Ethernet.
    Good luck everyone who struggles with this.

  • How do I access my hard drive connected to airport extreme?

    I've already imported video to my hard drive. I had it previously connected via firewire. It's there in an imovie 08. However, when I open up imovie in the "Event Library" panel, my hard drive has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point on it. Does anyone know how I can access this?
    Do I have to choose "import" first and then copy the movie back into imovie? I think this would defeat the purpose of storing the footage on the external drive, right? I'm trying to make my first movie, so please be gentle if this is an easy question to answer. It's throwing me for a loop right now.
    Thanks again!

    sorry, the hard drive is connected via USB to my airport extreme. Here's how i can look at the files:
    Macintosh HD, under "shared" i select my hard drive, open it and then click on imovie events, then i can access the 19 different folders which contain multiple clips in each folder, along with an imovie thumbs file etc.
    However, in imovie when create a new project, then click on import, it will ask me where i want to save the files, and on the drop down arrow, the only choice is my macintosh HD and I can't choose anything else. I really don't want to save them to my computer's hard drive if i don't have to. It seems there should be an easier way to do this, but i'm overlooking something. I just want to be able to make a movie with the clips that are already saved on my hard drive which is connected via airport extreme. Thanks again!

    USB Backup drive connected to USB port on Airport Extreme. Running system 10.5.5
    On my Macbook Pro, which I connect wirelessly, I was able to start Time Machine... Time Machine saw the backup drive and did a backup.. Yes it took a long time!! Anyway all is cool with that.
    My iMac is connected to the Airport Extreme by Ethernet. On the iMac when I started Time Machine, it does not see the backup hard drive. I can see and share the hard drive... works fine. But no luck with TM seeing the hard drive on the iMac.
    Questions is will Time Machine work with a computer that is connected to airport extreme by ethernet. If yes how o you set it up and what might be wrong??
    yes, it should work. hard to say what's wrong. try the following terminal command. it should not be necessary but it should help.
    defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
    One other important thing to mention. At first I plugged my new backup hard drive directly into the iMac with firewire 800. I started time machine and started the backup. I then stopped that backup and plugged the backup hard drive into the Airport extreme (USB port) I then trashed the partial backup folder off the backup hard drive. Is it possible that on the iMac there is still some TM file there pointing to the old original backup file??
    have you emptied trash? you should. the files won't really be deleted till you do. there is one other hidden file but it should not be necessary to remove it.
    Thanks.... any help is appreciated.

  • I connected an airport extreme (2013) to an existing pc network

    I connected an airport extreme (2013) to an existing pc network and I had to change all my ip addresses.  I managed to catch on to the apple replacement range and reset all my printers' addresses manually.  Was there an easier way to handle this?  Also, I lost the connection to my WD Worldbook drive though and haven't been able to come up with a work around.  Any ideas would help, thanks!

    First, to answer your question about the WD drive - I could not find it with an ethernet connection.  I tried connecting to the usb port on the Extreme, but it was not visible there either.
    When connecting an external network drive to the AirPort Extreme by Ethernet, the drive would be providing the file sharing service. This would be typical of a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. If your WD Worldbook offers NAS services then it should be found by network clients per WD's instructions.
    When connected to the Extreme's USB port, the Extreme would take over the file server services. However, the drive must not be formatted in either NTFS or ExFAT as either are not recognizable by the Extreme for sharing out. My guess is this is the case and why the AirPort Utility cannot "find" the drive.
    If your WD Worldbook has an Ethernet interface that is the one you should use for best performance. It is still possible that this drive is using an IP address that is not in the default range of the Extreme.
    How can I reset the IP range on the router.  I have to use the iPad app to manage the router and I didn't see any way to change the range.  Did I miss something or would I need to use an Mac computer to get more options?
    You can change the IP address range of your AirPort using the AirPort Utility on your iPad.
    To change the range:
    Run the AirPort Utility.
    Select the AirPort Extreme, and then, select Edit.
    Select Advanced.
    Select DHCP Range.
    Select 192.168

  • What hdd to connect to airport extreme

    So I decided to go with the Airport Extreme base, because I already have an external hdd. The power supply for the hdd is usb , but i cannot seem to connect from my laptop to transfer files wiresley. can someone help?

    There are advantages and disadvantages to connecting the AirPort Extreme in normal router mode or in bridge mode in the type of set up that you have.
    Technically, bridge mode is probably the more correct way to set up the AirPort Extreme, but this will likely allow you to "see" other users and their devices in the same complex....similar to what you would see if you were at a coffee place with free WiFi. 
    Although you may be able to "see" other users on the network...and they can see you as well....they cannot access any of your computers or devices unless they have the password.
    If you configure the AirPort Extreme to act in normal router mode, you will be able to "shield" your private network. The downside is that this will likely create what is known as a Double NAT errror. This is usually not serious on a simple network...but the Double NAT error will create issues with online gaming consoles and other interactive type of devices.
    When, you say that you cannot get the AirPort Extreme to work properly....can you provide some more details about what you have tried and the results so far?

  • Connecting 2 Airport Extremes wirelessly....can it be done?

    Connecting 2 Airport Extremes wirelessly....can it be done?
    I have 2 Airport Extremes. I'm only using 1 of them right now connected to a cable modem. It works well. I can get a wireless signal in most of the house and even outside a bit. However there are upstairs bedrooms on the other side of the house that I don't get a very strong signal on. No "big" deal really but here is what I thought.......
    Can I set up my 2nd Airport Extreme to wirelessly receive the signal from the 1st (main) Airport Extreme and place the 2nd Airport Extreme close to the bedrooms with weak reception? I was thinking that the 2nd AirPort Extreme could just pickup and boost my original signal.
    Is this possible? I can't find it mentioned in my Airport Manual.
    If so, what is the term for this? That way I can search for information on how to configure all of this. If you have any other ideas on how this might able to work please let me know.
    Thanks for your help

    OK, you will need to make configuration changes to both of your Extremes.
    For the main Extreme (the one connected to your modem now):
    Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab under the icons
    Look on the wireless setup page and make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended". This may be under the Options tab on the wireless page. If you have a dual band Extreme, you can only extend the main network, not the 'guest" network.
    Update to save settings
    For the remote Extreme, temporarily locate it near your computer so that you can configure it:
    Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab
    On the wireless setup page, change the Wireless Mode to "Extend a wireless network"
    You will select the name of wireless network created by your main Extreme. Enter the password if needed.
    Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
    Update to save settings
    That should do it.

  • Latest 7.6.1 firmware broke all Airport Express connections with Airport Extreme

    Installed the latest Airport Utility (6.0) last night.  Once installed I ran Airport Utility and saw my 4 Airport Express N's, one Time Capsule, and Airport Extreme needed a firmware update to version 7.6.1.  Installed to all of them, and initially everything came back up-and-running.  All this equipment remains on 24-hours a day, and the four Airport Express are wirelessly joined to the Airport Extreme's wireless network.
    This morning the wireless link between the Airport Extreme and all four Airport Express's was broken (flashing amber light on all of them).  Power resets did nothing.  The Time Capsule link was still good; however, the Time Capsule is connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet.  Visited this forum and saw other folks were having similar problems.
    I saw no way of downgrading the Airport Extreme firmware with Airport Utility 6.0, so I downloaded Airport Utility 5.6.  I launched it, and was able to downgrade the Airport Extreme firmware back to version 7.6.  After hard resetting the four Airport Express units, I was able to downgrade their firmware also back to 7.6.  Everything immediately came back online.
    Am going to sit this firmware update out until more shelf life exists with it.  I also agree the Airport Utility 6.0 seem to be a less capable step backward.  Why someone thought we need a simpler interface for a "Utility" that resides in the "Utility Folder" is mystifying. 

    First I've updated my Extreme to 7.6.1, then, the Express.
    Everything work fine untill I update the Airport Utility to the new version and rebooted my extreme, then my Express stop working (An can't be detected anymore by the Airport Utility, orange light)
    So I took my laptop, plug a network cable between it and my Express (Now I was seeing it in the Airport Utility) and reconfire the wireless network connection between them.
    Hope this Help!

  • Backup 1 HDD to another, BOTH connected to Airport Extreme

    I have two HDDs connected to Airport Extreme (F/W 7.5.2) via USB hub. One HDD is my TimeMachine backup disk. I'd like to backup the other HDD connected to the Airport. Is this possible? If not, what 3rd party apps could help?

    I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is "iffy" and +*not supported by Apple.+* See [Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Airport.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). As mentioned there, most likely, your backups will turn up corrupted sooner or later.

    Not via Time Machine; it cannot back up from any network drive.
    If not, what 3rd party apps could help?

    You may want to try reinstalling Mavericks. Airport Utility installed by Mavericks may no longer connect to your older AEBS (though I've not heard that.) Installing the Old AirPort Utility (Version 5.6) on Mountain Lion | frank.is.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
         Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
         the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                    three times faster than wireless.

  • How do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

    how do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

    Connect an Ethernet cable between the U-verse router's LAN port to the WAN (circle-of-dots) port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Since you will have two routers in series, you will want to reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge. (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))
