Can i set up airport to be dhcp on a static network?

I have a static network at work and would like to open my internet up to our customers. MY question is how can I set up a apple airport ( or multiple we have a large area) to assign DHCP addresses to customers via WYFY
I was thinking something like this:
Modem -> Router -> Airport -> Wireless DHCP
                  |
                  |
                 V
            Work PC's Static Ip's
It would be a requirement that the wireless connections were on a seperate network that could not see any of the work PC's
Thanks,
Ryan Cooper

Everything depends on the router ..
If the router offers vlan.. then you can set the airport to a different vlan than the Work computers and it will work fine.. But your setup currently is such that wireless clients behind the airport even if they get a different IP address range would still be able to access the work PC's.
Another possible method is to use secondary IP address in the router.. this is same idea as vlan really but some routers offer IP alias.. or secondary IP.. it has a number of names.. This would not fully protect the computers on the main IP address range but via firewall in the computers will effectively do so. It would be important to make sure the local firewall is setup and running.

Can I set up Airport Extreme for wireless printiing over Uverse network?

I previously had DSL, and used my Airport Extreme as my wireless router. It was in my home office, so my printer was directly plugged into the Base Station. I recently switched to ATT Uverse, which came with its own wireless router. The new router is in another room, next to the TV. My question is this: Can I set up my old AEBS to function as a wireless printing outpost, like an Airport Express, that would be connected to my office printer but accessed through the ATT network? Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions, Patrick!

In theory, yes. In practice, this is one of those things that you won't know until you try. Since the AEBS will have to "join" your ATT wireless network, the biggest question will be whether or not you can find a matching security setting on the AEBS for the ATT wireless network.
Are you able to get into the setup pages on the ATT router to see exactly what type of security is being used? Ideally, it will be WPA2 Personal, but different manufacturers use different names and flavors for the same thing, so it's rarely as easy as one might hope when you try to get devices from two manufacturers to talk to each other over wireless.

I set up Airport wireless, but I miss something my network can not be found and I need connect manually every time with my ipod?

I have problems finding my connection, I configured the Airport Express Internet is ok the light is green, but always need to connect manually , when I look for my network never show??What I need change ????

I can not set my Airport Extreme

Hello,
I just bought a airport extreme today and have spent most of the evening trying to set it up and having no luck.
I have two computers that I would like to set up. 1st computer is a Dell Desktop and the 2nd computer is a Mac Powerbook G5. Currently my Dell has a DSL connection and I want to connect my Powerbook to the DSL through the Airport Extreme.
When I hooked everything up per the start up guide, My dell computer said it was hooked up to DSL but I could not get onto the internet. The same thing happened on my powerbook. I am not sure if I even set up my airport extreme correctly. I was not sure if I was suppose to use Ethernet or PPP over Ethernet.
Please help I am so confused! The tech person at the apple store told me I needed to have this and that it was so easy to set up.

First welcome to the discussions.
If I understand your post correctly.
Turn both computers OFF.
Unplug the DSL connection from your Dell and plug it in to the Airport Extreme into the port with the circle of dots.
Next you can run an ethernet cable from the other port on the Airport Extreme the one with the 2 arrows pointing away from one another into your dell.
It would be best if you pull the power adapter from both the Internet Service Providers Modem and the Airport Extreme.
Now that you have your cables run and in the proper ports.
Plug in the power adapter into your ISP's Modem First and you must wait for it to acquire the signal this normally takes a minute or so.
Next plug in the power adapter into the Airport Extreme Base and again you must wait for the signal to re-establish. Now you can restart your computers.
On your Mac be sure you have your Network setting on Airport and it must have the litle green dot and drag it to the top of the list if it isn't already. The Dell is hardwired so you should be good there.
Good Luck, and check your Airport Extreme Booklet to determine the type of Network you want to set-up.
Your Powerbook should automaticlly see the Network, you will probably need to run the Airport Admin and Set-up Utility to name your network it's pretty straight forward.
Be sure your set to let the Airport Distribute the IP's and DHCP.
Here is another option.

Can't set up Airport base stations with new MacBook Pro

i have a brand new, late-2013 15" MacBook Pro running Mavericks. my attempts, using this machine, to set up my sixth-generation, 802.11ac Airport Extreme and my brand-new, whatever-generation 802.11n Airport Express purchased yesterday at an Apple Store (that means it's the current generation, with the power cord) - these attempts all fail with Airport Utility saying it's joining the base station for about a minute and a half, after which it stops trying and says, "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again."
i can set up both of those base stations effortlessly with my iPhone.
furthermore, i seem to be able to use this MacBook Pro to set up my fifth-generation, 802.11n Airport Extreme just fine - even when it's all the way across the house and my attempts to set up the sixth-generation one, which is a foot away from my MBP, are failing.
why can i set these devices up with my iPhone and not with the newest, best, fastest, fanciest, most powerful laptop Apple makes?
thank you.

mmm...okay. thank you, Bob.
for now, i've got the base stations configured via my iPhone, and once configured, my MBP can see and use them just fine. it just irks the **** out of me that my brand-new top-of-the-line MacBook Pro can't handle this simple task, and should have to use a wired connection to set up my base stations (how archaic!). it may be the only device i have with me one day when i want to set up an Airport base station (okay, that's unlikely, but it's the principle of the thing, dammit).
are we sure this is a matter of bugs in Mavericks, and not a hardware problem with my MBP or something?
many thanks.

Can I use the Airport Express to create a secure wireless network in a wireless-only hotel?

Can I use the Airport Express to log onto an unsecured hotel wireless network, without an ethernet cable, to create a secure wireless network for my MacbookAir, IPad, IPhone, etc.? If so, how is that done?

will the Airport Express allow you to log onto a hotel wireless network, and broadcast a secure wireless network in your room for your wireless devices, like the Ipad, Iphone, etc.?
The bottom line with a single AirPort Express is no.
The AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless network when the network is being provided by another Apple router.
As you might imagine, it is extremely unlikely that that the hotel network....which no doubt uses professional wireless access points provided by a manufacturer of commercial systems.....would be compatible with an AirPort Express.
In many years of travel domestically and internationally, I cannot recall a time when a single AirPort Express would "extend" the signal provided by a hotel's wireless network.
However, if you had two AirPort Express devices handy, you might be able to configure one to "join" the hotel network and provide an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort Express, which would be configured to "create" your own "private" wireless network.

How can I set up airport extreme using my existing 11.g router

My existing router (ZyXEL - supplied by Telefonica with my land line) is an 11.g type and does not allow me to use iPad/iPod in certain areas of my home. Yesterday I bought an Airport Extreme and was told that I could either connect my existing router's ADSL line directly into the Extreme and connect to my Mac and other peripherals using USB or ethernet cable, or connect from the existing router.
I tried each method using Airport Utility in each case and also trying the different options offered in the set-up. It doesn't seem to want to work.
Can anyone help me please.

Further to my earlier (and first) posting, I have been playing with the airport extreme and it now works via my existing router but, it's range is less than 15 metres and that is no better than my existing 11.g router.
Does anyone know how I can increase this range?
p.s. any help in the simplest terms please.

How to set an Airport Extreme to DHCP only mode

Folks,
Right off let me advise that I have not even reached amateur status when it comes to this comms stuff, so please bear with me.
I have an ISP supplied cable (no modem) that is connected to the WAN port of my AE. The AE is currently configured to run in DHCP and NAT mode. The ISP is apparently also supplying NAT since I am getting a double NAT warning from AE through Airport Utility. Performance does not seem to be affected although I am seeing some tremendous slowdowns on a couple of websites. From reading quite a bit of info here and elsewhere, I think I would like to run in DHCP only mode and let the ISP do the NAT control.
This is when I run into a problem. When I configure AE to run DHCP only, it asks for a range of addresses. I have no clue what to put in here. When I enter 192.168. ..., I get a message about invalid or overlapping address ranges.
What do I need to do?
Thanks,
Jim

As I said, it is very rare that an ISP would use this type of setup these days.
You would already know if you had a bank of fixed IP addresses that were supplied to you by your Internet Service Provider, since they would have provided you with a document that listed all of the IP addresses to use.
An example of this might look something like.......
12.345.678.910
12.345.678.911
12.345.678.912
12.345.678.913
12.345.678.914
If you do not have a document from your ISP with a list of specific IP addresses to use......then you cannot use the DHCP Only setting.

Can't set up airport express with new Airport Extreme

I have a new aiport extreme base station and two airport expresses. All was well till I tried to plug in a hard drive then the base station needed to be reset. Now I can't get it to recognize the aiport expresses. I have to do a factory reset on the express to even get it to recognize it in the Airport Utility. I follow the instructions to have it join my existing network, I get to the point where it says I have successfully joined the network and the express will restart, but I never get a green light on the express and then I can't locate it while using the airport utility.
is there something in the configuration of the airport extreme that is blocking this?

Are you trying to use the expresses in WDS or client

enabled on the main extreme base station?
I hae been using client mode as best as I can tell. I have been going through the setup with the express and chosing to join an exisiting network and not extend the range of the current network.

After factory reset, can't set up Airport Extreme!

Hello all!
American living in germany here. I am using a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11
I am using an Airport Extreme Station with a Siemens Router. I couldn't get my iphone to work wirelessly via Airport, so I decided to do a factory reset. Now after having done that, my Airport Setup Assistant recognizes my Airport but after clicking continue to proceed, I always get the message that it is unable to find the base station.
I should add that my internet stopped working about two weeks ago. I thought it might be my system software so I reinstalled that on my Mac. Turns out it was my ADSL box so my phone company sent me a new one. I did get my Airport to work with my old settings and the new box....but after this factory reset, my computer can't communicate with it.
Help please....I need to be wireless again! Now I am on the internet via an ethernet cable.
Thanks!

Try connecting to the base station with an ethernet cable for setup purposes.

Can I use an Airport extreme to extend my ATT wireless network?

Hi
I get my internet through an ATT DSL wireless router positioned up in my attic. I have a studio in my basement with 2 computers, a plotter, a laser printer and a fax/scanner/photo printer. I've run an ethernet cable down from the attic in to a central location in my basement. I've run ethernet cable from the three printers to that same location. I want to set up an unused Airport extreme base station in my studio to connect the plotter and two printers to my wireless network. One snag is that one of my computers has a bad airport card slot and needs to be connected to the network with an ethernet cable.
Can you help me solve this?

OK,
Got er done this weekend and I have extended the network to my studio. One problem though, My main computer keeps dropping off the wireless network. It connects for a second and then gone. I have solved this for the moment by disconnecting my scanner from the AEBS and connecting my main computer to the AEBS. I still have not connected my laser printer to the network, but will use its USB connection to connect it to the AEBS. I just need to go buy a longer cord.
Things work for now and I can work on some jobs this week. I plan to search the boards to solve the dropping off problem soon.
Thanks again for all of your help.

How can you set up 2 p2011w printers on the same wireless network?

Ii tried renaming one, but that didn't work. We had one, it works great, my boss loved it and bought another. Now we're all printing in his office because the one he got for us doesn't work. Any ideas?

Do a factory reset on your TC.
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec.
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Plug the LAN port of the BT router to the WAN port of the TC.
Start the airport utility in a computer and allow it to complete..
It should choose the right setup without intervention.. but you can then make sure of it.
So go to the edit tab by clicking on the TC in airport utility.
Then check the network tab shows off (bridge mode).
Go to the wireless tab and set a useful and simple and short wireless name.
You could even then click on the wireless options on that page and set a different name for 5ghz wireless.

Can you set a global EntityResolver (via system property, or static method)

I'm trying to set a customized EntityResolver (telling the xml parser where to look for XML schema files).
Usually, you'd use the standard syntax - somehting like:
SaxParser parser=new SaxParser();
parser.parser.setEntityResolver(myResolver);
However, I was wondering whether you can set a "global" EntityResolver, to be used as default for all parsers ?
Maybe this can be done through some system property, or a static method somewhere in the parsing XML ?
(BTW, I need it because I'm using some third-party API, that encapsulates a SaxParser, but won't let me access it, so I can't configure it directly).
thanks.

I don't think you can.
What is possible is to set content on the folder resource itself; that would be returned instead of the page you mentioned.

How can I set up a time capsule to extend my wifi network from a non-apple Medialink MWN-WAPR300N?

I just purchased a new Medialink MWN-WAPR300N from Amazon to replace my old 2008 500 GB Time Capsule.
I was wondering if it would be possible to use my old Time Capsule to extend the network from the Medialink router to the rooms in the back of my house. Would this be possible? How about if I use the Time Capsule as the primary point, and use the Medialink router to extend the network?
Thanks!

The Time Capsule would not be compatible with a Medialink product if you are thinking of trying to use the Time Capsule to extend the Medialink network using wireless only.
The same would be true if the Time Capsule were the primary router, and you tried to use the Medialink product to extend the Time Capsule network wirelessly.
If you can connect the two devices together using a permanent wired Ethernet connection, then you should be able to accomplish your goal.
