CAN YOU ALTER NAT SETTINGS ON THE AIRPORT EXTREME

Can you alter the NAT settings on the airport extreme by any chance and if possible, how do you do this please.
Kind regards in advance.

Really confused here so I will start at the begining.
Right now I can access xbox live but only talk to certain friends and others cant hear me. This has been getting worse over the weekend. I can send messages no problem but I cant join a freinds game or chat but can send them messages.
Everything worked like a charm until I made some changes that are listed below
Had the airport extreme connected via adsl then my g5 mac picks the signal wireless. The xbox has a wireless adaptor so that also worked like charm unitl my changes below.
1, I upgarded to Tiger 2 weeks ago from panther
2, Sent the old ethernet cable from the old xbox 1 that was still atached to the airport extreme into a joytech multi component switcher that has 6 ethernet ports linked to each component channel. We have 2 xbox 360's and a ps3 and a wii for the kids so not enough components out in the tv.
3, Removed the ethernet cable out of the 360 and put the wireless adaptor back on, (after discovering the problem) re set the xbox to make it see the wireless bridge and now this..
Confused, not as much as me
Anyone please help as I have no idea what to do as I can talk to some people and not others.
I ran a test on the 360 and it stated my nat SETTINGS ARE MODERATE, they should be less, is there a way of altering the NAT settings on a g5 mac or airport extreme??
Really be happy for any advice or help from you all.
Thanks for trying

  • Can you hook two printers to the airport extreme

    Can I hook up multiple printers to any of the airport devices?  the middle one has more than one port - one for printer and one for hard drive.  Can I put a printer in each port?

    Hi - you can connect mutiple USB printers via a USB hub - you can also connect multiple printers to the ethernet ports on an Extreme or Time Capsule - you can do the same with an Express with an ethernet switch - you can also do it wirelessly

  • Can i place some device on the airport extreme case ?

    as i can't find anything on this in the manual, i was wondering if i can place some device (cablemodem) on the airport extreme case; the airport extreme case is getting pretty hot so is it safe or does it need free air for ventilation ?
    tia, michiel

    I'd think you may not want to add fire to fire. Keep the router and modem running as cool as possible. You could place it on the Extreme if you configured some sort of smallish "platform" which would not smother the Apple into being too hot.

  • I have a Sony Bravia KDL46W905 TV but I can't get it to connect the Airport Extreme router

    My Sony Bravia KDL46W905 TV won't connect to my Airport Extreme router and the internet. It recognises and picks up my home wireless network though and I'm inputting the correct password but still won't connect. The router is set to WPA2 Personal.
    Anyone any ideas?

    While most devices should connect using WPA2 Personal, please temporarily test using no security to see if the Sony TV will connect that way.
    If it will, then try the more compatible setting of WPA/WPA2 Personal on the AirPort Extreme and test that way.
    However, if the TV will not connect using no wireless security.....then it is a no brainer to conclude that the TV will never connect with security enabled....so more troublehooting is going to be required.
    In that case, make sure that the name of your wireless network......
    Does not exceed 20 characters, fewer would be better
    Does not contain any special characters like an apostrophe, asterisk, dollar sign, etc
    Does not have any blank spaces
    For example, if the current name of your wireless network is something like.....
    rpepler's wireless network
    Change that to read something like.....
    rpeplerwireless
    Same rules for the wireless network password

  • Can you connect a USB drive to Airport Extreme or an Airport base for TM

    Would like to backup MacBooks in 2 different scenarios with Time Machine. One is a USB external drive attached to Airport Extreme and the other is doing the same with an Airport base. Will both work? Also, I have been partitioning the direct USB attached hard drives so that I have a Time Machine partion and a copy of the internal hard drive. This allows my kids to boot from the external drive and still work in case the internal drive has failed or becomes corrupted. So far we have experienced 3 internal drive failures, one during finals and this has saved them. Can you boot from an external drive copy of the internal drive if it is connected to either an Airport Extreme or Airport base?

    I am confused as on another site I saw that the Time Machine backup to Airport Extreme was working than broken by an update in 2008, then fixed again by another update in Oct. 2008. So is it officially supported or not. I cannot say that I am impressed with Apple's documentation and updates to what is supported and what is not.
    Kappy, I do not see the concern with partitioning a drive and then taking backups to one partition and having a Restore created copy of the hard drive in another. The drive is partitioned and that should keep one partition from overlaying the other. The windows world had used partioning successfully for many years. Apple does have a slick ability to boot from a copy of the OS which is on an external drive. It has saved my kids multiple times when something has gotten hosed up on the internal drive, including a Mac mini with a drive failure during dinal exams and two drive failures on a Macbook. It lets the kids access the internet and get theri work done albiet with a static copy of the OS taken some time in the past. My son was even able to copy to the external drive all of his documents, music and photos off the internal drive that would not boot. Of course he had not learned the value of Time Machine at that point.

  • Can you print from an iPad using airport Extreme?

    Do you still need to use a third party software (I.e. Printopia) to send a print file to my Samsung printer via Airport extreme router?

    Printing from iPad
    You might note the * (asterisk) here and be aware of the fine print at the bottom of the Apple advertising page.
    Just a small detail like the printer must be AirPrint compatible.
    See this Apple document to see if the printer is AirPrint compatible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    If the printer is not AirPrint compatible, then Printopia might work

  • How can you maintain security settings with the pornographic sites are already on your computer and an 8 year old is using it. Please contact me and tell me ho

    My 8 yr old granddaughter uses this computer and while I was looking for a way to get rid of yahoo after deciding to dump Firefox because it is constantly quiting I was in the registry and found Yahoo in an area that is filled with pornographic sites. Not knowing how to get rid of this site I deleted the entire section. Looking at your browser doesn't do anything to address this problem and I WILL NOT use a web browser that does not have some type of security for sites that I DON'T WANT MY 8 YR OLD GDAUGHTER LOOKING AT! So buck up and get it done to prevent this.

  • How to configure the airport extreme as wireless bridge?

    how can i configiure the airport to function as a wireless bridge?
    i have connected my airport now with a wire to the modem/router delivered by the local internetprovider (THomson DWG850).
    Since this device has not much reach I want to connect the airport extreme wireless and position in the living room to have better reach?
    or do i need toc hang the settings in the Thomson? does anyone know where to find the admin password of the Thomson?
    thanks in advance
    Eric

    how can i configiure the airport to function as a wireless bridge?
    Sorry, but it is not possible to configure the AirPort Extreme for this type of setup. You will need to connect the AirPort Extreme to the Thomson router using an Ethernet connection.
    does anyone know where to find the admin password of the Thomson?
    Google turned this up in 5 seconds. There may be others if you look.

  • Ordered the Airport Extreme Base Station - some questions if you can help?

    I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit IBM ThinkPad T500 laptop I need to connect, and a Windows Vista PC. The ThinkPad has a built-in wirless N card and the Vista has a Belkin N+ USB wireless adapter. Can these both find and connect to the Airport without me installing any software (Bonjour etc) on them?
    Since they are using the N+ wireless cards, will they connect to the Airport at 2GHZ or 5GHZ speed? If they can connect at either speed, what controls that?
    I also have a MACPro desktop. I was hoping to configure my airport using it and hoped not to have to worry about configuring the other 2 pcs.
    My old router was a Belkin n+ 2GHz router. Could I use that router as a repeater with the Airport. How can I do that?
    Thanks for any help on these questions.

    Welcome to the discussions, Michael!
    I can't help on your Windows / PC related questions, but can offer some input on the last two questions.
    +"I also have a MACPro desktop. I was hoping to configure my airport using it and hoped not to have to worry about configuring the other 2 pcs."+
    You will use AirPort Utility to configure the AirPort Extreme. It should already be on your Mac. Check Hard Drive > Applications > Utilties > AirPort Utility. This will also come on the installation CD.
    +"My old router was a Belkin n+ 2GHz router. Could I use that router as a repeater with the Airport. How can I do that?"+
    In order to "extend" a wireless network created by the AirPort Extreme(n), you would need another AirPort Extreme, an AirPort Express, or a Time Capsule. The Belkin would not be compatible with an Apple base station for this purpose.
    If you connected an ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme or used a pair of ethernet powerline adapters, then you could possibly configure the Belkin to create a wireless network, but unless it was 5 GHz capable, you would not be able to mimic the 5 GHz "main" network that the Extreme would be creating.

  • Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?

    Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?
    Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?

    The first question answer is yes..
    The question is asked continually.. please read the methods that Tesserax wrote up so well.
    See remote access tip here.
    AirPort
    Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?
    Unlikely .. because your TV uses a system called DLNA.. and Apple do not support DLNA in any way shape or form.. because they are fully committed to iTunes.. Apple routers have no media extensions.. unlike most other decent brands now which mostly do support multimedia.
    Having said that.. you can place your video files on the external hard disk.. and play them.. but you need a player.. a real player not an apple TV which is a streamer.. eg A WD Live TV can play video files.. because it is a media player.. unlike your TV or apple TV.

  • I have an Airport Extreme which I'm using for a wireless network. Can I also plug in my iMac to one of the free ethernet ports on the Airport Extreme to connect to the Internet that way? Thank you.

    I have an Airport Extreme which I'm using for a wireless network. (The wireless router is connected to a DSL modem.) Can I also plug in my iMac to one of the free ethernet ports on the Airport Extreme to connect to the Internet that way? Thank you.

    Yes, you can.

  • I BEG of you:  How do I replace an Airport Extreme base station with a 4th-generation Time Capsule as the base station?

    I'll be damned if I can figure this out.  I have a new late-2012 iMac (OS 10.8.3) connecting to my LAN via Airport wi-fi.  (It will be Ethernet-connected, as soon as a hole is drilled into my new work table, but right now the Ethernet cable doesn't reach.)  My wife uses a 2011 MacBook Air.
    The LAN consists of a flying-saucer-looking Airport Extreme connected by Ethernet to the modem, plus 2 old Airport Expresses.  I have an Ethernet switch too, through which I've got a TV connected and a printer connected. 
    I bought a 4th-generation Time Capsule about a year ago, but couldn't figure out for the life of me how to replace the Airport Extreme with it.  I became so incredibly frustrated that I hid it away in a closet until now.  I  just tried again, with the same results.  I've got both Airport Utility 5.6 (to use with the old Extreme and Expresses) and Airport Utility 6.2.  I was using version 6.2 to set up the Time Capsule... or to try to.  Once again, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it!  I tried so many different Ethernet wiring connections that I now cannot remember them well enough to describe them here.
    I distinctly remember that, when I tried this a year ago with my wife's MacBook Air and Airport Utility 6.2, I was presented at one point with the question whether I wanted to replace an existing base station with the Time Capsule I was trying to set up, but this time I never was presented with that option.
    Is there anyone who can, in essence, hold my hand and walk me through this process step-by-step?  At this point I even need to be instructed what to wire to what.  I feel like a total incompetent.
    My MOST sincere thanks in advance for help!
    (I hope Time Capsule is the correct forum for this question.  I considered the Airport forum as well, but I don't want to cross-post.)
    (And, just to complicate matters, after I get this done-- assuming I ever do-- I want to use the old Airport Extreme on the outside of the house to extend the range of my LAN to the back yard... but that's for another day entirely.)

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • Please Help: I cannot get the Airport Extreme settings right with AT&T DSL

    AT&T Motorola 2210 DSL Modem.
    I have tried both bridged on/off and different configurations on the Airport Extreme, but I cannot get online. I am out of ideas. I called AT&T tech support and because it's not one of their wireless routers, they wanted to charge me to troubleshoot, ridiculous.
    Please help

    If you find that the Double NAT setting will not allow the PS3 to connect correctly, your only other option is to change the configuration of the modem to either +PPP on the computer+ or +Bridge Mode+ and then configure the PPPoe service on the AirPort Extreme.
    I assume that you have already set the modem up using the default IP address of 192.1681.254 (I think this is it). You'll need to locate the page to change the settings and it will probably have a red warning sign on it. Either PPP on the computer or Bridge Mode will work. Update to save settings.
    Then under the Internet icon in AirPort Utility:
    Connect Using = PPPoE
    enter your user name (probably your email address with the service provider)
    enter your password
    Leave the Service Name area completely blank
    Connection = Always On
    Disconnect if Idle = Never
    Update to save settings.
    That will eliminate the Double NAT issue and the PS3 should get a clear indication. As I said, when you have the PPP connection on a device other than the modem, you may see an occasional drop and restart of your connection. That seems to be a fact of life with this type of setup.

  • How do you uninstall the Airport Extreme

    I'd like to uninstall and then reinstall the Airport Extreme router because I somehow deleted some of the settings and now I can get my TV to connect to the wireless.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for the reply.  I actually figured it out about 2 hours after I posted here.  Appreciate you taking the time to assist.

  • Settings to use airport extreme as an extender to the Comcast Gateway (3)?

    I have been using my airport extreme in bridge mode, but now want to use it as an extender without connecting the ethernet cable to the Comcast Gateway (3).  I can't seem to get the Gateway software to recognize the airport extreme as an extender.  What settings do I need?

    I install a lot of AirPorts, and I recommend if you can't run ethernet, then use a power line extender to feed the AirPort.  You will be disappointed extending your network with wi-fi.
    If you must, then fully reset the AirPort and start over.  It should find the existing HOME-xxxx network and want to use as a bridge.  If it doesn't find the network, then with your browser go into the GUI on the gateway at http://10.0.0.1 and find the trusted device page, you might need to modify the setting if the MAC address of the AirPort shows up.  Logon is admin and password is password.
    Depending on the location of the equipment, you might want to bridge the gateway and use your AirPort as your main router and wi-fi, since it's far superior over a gateway.
