Dynamic DNS Port Forwarding Set up on Airport Extreme

I just bought the new AEBS and am unable to afp into my computer from outside the network. I use a dynamic DNS service (www.dyndns.org) and have not had trouble in the past, but now it tells me that the server does not exist. What is the trick? I have tried many options in the forum, but with no luck. I am using firmware 7.2.1 (that is what came with the base station). My Internet service is through Verizon and I know that it does not provide port problems since it worked with my Netgear router, I don't have file sharing on for mounted disks (there are none attached) and entered my DYN DNS information in the Bonjour tab. I know this should not be so complicated, but nothing seems to work. For some reason, the base station is using port 548 (i have been told) and tried using another port). Someone please help.

First of all you must install a DDNS Client on the machine you want to access. I don't know if DynDNS has one.
No-ip.com as one. Just create a free account, install and configure the client software. It will transmit the Wan IP of you network to the no-ip servers, then you'll be able to connect IF the port for afp is routed to the correct machine in the AEBS. Here is a link the the ports used by Apple products:

Port forwarding in 6th gen airport extreme

How do you set the port forwarding in the 6th gen airport extreme?

I am assuming that the AirPort Extreme is set up to function as your main router handing all network services....but, since it is dangerous to assume anything.....so, the first requirement to check is to make sure that your AirPort Extreme is configured as the main router on your network.
On your Mac, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme, then click Edit in the small box that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
The setting for Network Mode must equal DHCP and NAT. Is that what you see? Do not make any changes at this point.

Airport Express G getting Port Forwarding to work from Airport Extreme N

I have an Airport Extreme N connected to a cable modem. I have an Airport Express G in another room, connected to a Local Ethernet Network. The AE G is setup as a WDS Remote to the AE N. Connectivity works and all is well.
What doesn't work is when I try to forward ports from the AE N to a device/system connected (via ethernet) to the AE G. The kicker is the port forwards work from "inside" the network. Outside they don't. I have been able to forward ports to anything connected to the N directly or wirelessly.
Any thoughts on what the proper configuration of the AE G or the AE N to get port forwarding to work from the AE N through to the clients of the AE G?
I have DHCP, and the clients of the AE G are getting IP addresses and working as they should.

I checked that. I can forward ports all day long to anything connected directly (or wirelessly) to the AE N. Anything connected to the AE G, ports won't forward. For some reason the AE G in bridge mode is not letting ports forward through.
Thanks for responding, though.

Port forwarding/adding IPcamera via Airport Extreme Can't possibly be this complex, can it?

Any other new router has WPS (that youcan disable to rpevent hackers) and lets you connect to IP cameras. Not AE. I use apple because I am not a programmer. Am I missing something, or is Apple? Suggestions appreciated.

I do appreciate your response, but it kinda goes back to my original post-- I am not programmer or geek (NO offense intended, we all need geeks and they're generaly very nice folks)-- I use apple because it works-- now I need to do work arounds and install old software through a third party vendor.....
I think I'm just gonna get a new, non-airport, router. Their speeds are faster and connectivy is simpler.
I hated typing that. I love Apple, but this is just isn't what I signed up for.
Again, Thanks.

DNS Server Issues with Comcast and Airport Extreme wifi routers

I am having significant challenges with 3 Airport Extreme (latest gen) wifi routers and my Comcast Xfinitity service. It once worked just fine, but now I continually get the blinking amber lights stating "No DNS servers" for each of the Airport Extreme (AE) routers. My configuration is:
Coax cable -> Comcast Xfinity cable modem -> ethernet to 16-port gigabit ethernet switch ->->-> ethernet to 3 Airport Extremes around the house direct connected with switch
I have many wifi devices throughout the house (iPads, MacBooks, home automation devices) as well as direct-connected devices via ethernet (one PC connected to AE router).
Each Airport Extreme router is set with these settings in the Airport Utility app:
Internet tab= Connect using: DHCP
Wireless tab= Network mode: Create a wireless network
Network tab= Router mode: Off (Bridge Mode)
I have attempted to put the Xfinity cable modem in bridge mode, and use the Airport Extreme to serve up the IP addresses, but still lost internet connectivity.
I have also attempted to set the Network tab=> Router Mode to "DHCP and NAT" but get "Double NAT" error issues as well.
I have tried using the Comcast DNS server addresses (75.75.75.75;75.75.76.76) setting on the Internet tab for the routers and do end up getting a green light, but NO internet connectivity.
Lastly, I have tried using the Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4) setting on the Internet tab the routers giving me the No DNS servers amber light error and again, no Internet connectivity for either wifi-connected or even ethernet connected (directly to Airport Extreme router) devices (like my PC) despite getting a green light on the router.
Any this point, it really seems that these AE routers are NOT compatible with the Xfinity cable modem or service… (and yes, I've tried power-cycling and restarting the modem, and then the AE routers, MANY times to little avail).
Should I move one of these Airport Extreme wifi routers to before the switch, and have the other 2 in Bridge mode after the switch? Do I need to setup a specific range of DHCP reservation addresses for each different AE router?
Appreciate any insight anyone can share with this aggravating DNS server issue between Comcast & multiple Airport Extreme wifi routers.

I do not see anything wrong with your basic setup.. the issue is indeed the WAN ports of the AE.. AC version are having problems with some network equipment.
You have listed a stack of things you have tried.. but I want you to move the ethernet patch cable you use on each AE to its LAN port instead of WAN.
Restart the airport when you do that.. and then see if it becomes stable.
In bridge mode the airport moves the WAN port to LAN.. but the WAN port setup itself seems more problematic than the LAN ports.
There are other methods we can try if this does not work.. but in the end.. I would be tempted to take the whole lot back to apple.. they need to start making equipment that works with standard modems and switches.
BTW what brand is the 16 port switch?? Does it happen to be managed (smart type)?

How can I set up an Airport Extreme as a router, in conjunction with my AT&T modem/router?

I am trying to set up an Airport Extreme as my router, and I am currently using an AT&T modem/router combo. I am wondering what would be the easiest way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme. This cable must remain in place permanently.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac
Click on Other WiFi Devices
Click on AirPort Extreme xxxxx
The utility will take a moment to analyze the connection, then a screen similar to this will appear with your AirPort Extreme instead of an AirPort Express
Type in a short simple name that you want to use for the wireless network
Type in a device name for the AirPort Extreme
Enter a password that will be used for both the AirPort Extreme and wireless network
Verify the password
Click Next
The utility will setup everything for you. When the message of Setup Complete appears, click Done and close AirPort Utility.
The AirPort Extreme wireless network is now available.

How do I set up my AirPort Extreme to provide IP addresses without being connected to the Internet?

II'm trying to set up my AirPort Extreme in the field without an Internet connection so that devises can communicate wirelessly but there aren't any IP addresses being generated

Just run the AE in router mode.. if you have difficult with the setup do it completely manually..
This is how I do it.
Airtport Utility can't find Airport Time Capsule on either of my 2009 Macs
As long as the AE is running in DHCP and NAT mode it will produce IP addresses.. however you cannot turn off WAN.
You could give it a static IP .. so set to static instead of dhcp if you like.. eg.
DNS and WAN errors.. double NAT, Ethernet unplugged, etc.. so it makes no real difference..
The AE will function fine as router (Wireless AP) to your network however..
Just ignore all the errors.

How do I set up my Airport Extreme to create a LAN without being connected to the internet?

I'm trying to set up a POS(point of sale) for my small restaurant. ADSL internet is not available at the site. I have set up my system(finally)while hooked up to my router at home, however my system will not work when disconnected from my router. How can I configure the Airport to operate my printers without an internet connection?

First off- Thanks for taking the time to answer me.
I have 2 Star Micronic Ethernet connection printers that I hope to operate using a POS software interface called Ambur.
The program is pretty straight forward and while my Airport Extreme was WAN ethernet connected to my D-Link Router, I had the program and printers integrated and operating surprisingly easily.
My issue is that I don't have internet available at the restaurant, so I need to create a network without an internet connection.
I did the hard reset and the rest.
Now I have the same configuration, but not connected through the router, trying to acheive the same result, but its not connecting.
I've tried programming the software with every IP address, including the ones that worked while connected to the other router, to no avail.

Set up of Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi / Mac OS 10.6.7

I am trying to set up an Airport Extreme (and I have done this MANY times before) but it get a warning dialog that the the Airport doesn't have a valid IP Address and the Yellow warning light is showing. What is strange is that I have connected a Cisco E2000 wireless to the same modem and it's working perfectly - out of the box. I have tried two different Airport Extreme's and the same is happening on both of them. I've never had this issue before so I am at a loss.
Thanks,
James

Have you performed a complete modem reset and power cycle of the network?
Push the reset button on the modem (if present) and power it off
Pull the battery from the modem if it is easily accessible
Power down everything else on the network, order is not important
Wait 30 minutes (some service providers will take longer for their equipment to reset back at the main office), so allow 60 minutes if you can.
Install the battery back in the modem if needed and make sure you have a good ethernet cable connected from the modem to the WAN (circle of dots icon) port on the AirPort Extreme
Power up the modem first and let it run for a few moments by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme the same way
Power up other network devices the same way
Check to see if you can configure the AirPort Extreme

How do i set up my airport extreme to access from my work windows based PC

How do I set up my airport extreme to access from my work windows based pc?

To mount the AirPort Disk in Windows 7 or Vista:
Open the Network browser by double-clicking Network on the Windows Desktop.
The AirPort Extreme base station name should appear in the browswer.
Double-click the name and you should get a login prompt.
Now depending on how you set up disk access:
In the Name field, either enter the user account name or for base station/disk access, leave this field blank.
In the Password field, enter the base station, disk, or user account password.
Select the volume(s) you want to mount, and then, click OK.

How do I set up my Airport Extreme to best use multiplayer games locally

How do I set up my Airport Extreme to best use multiplayer games with my family. Everyone is located in the same house and uses the same router.
I have tried a few games but have not successfully connected 2 players

That is a weird question, as your GAMES could be interpreted a hundred different ways. Are we talking about third party devices here or what?

Problem setting up new airport extreme

I've just picked up an airport extreme to upgrade my home wifi network. Currently I'm using a buffalo 54g box that works fine. For some reason I can't seet to get the AP extreme to recognize the DSL signal. Here is what I've done so far.
I unplugged the DSL ethernet cable from the Buffalo and put it into the AP extreme and power it up. The light on airport is blinking amber. After running through the airport admin assistant and setting up the airport extreme (including the DSL connection information, etc) which the mac located without trouble, the AP extreme is rebooted but still just blinks amber. I plugged the ethernet cable directly into the mac and and access the internet without trouble. I plug it bak into the AP extreme and reboot it - still blinking amber. I rebooted the DSL modem - still blinking amber. The instructions recommend resetting the AP extreme so I reset it and then I ran through the set up again and still have the same problem.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Many thanks for your advice.

Per chance, did you allow adequate time for a complete power recycle when switching network devices?
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)

Hi - you need Airport Utility version 5.6.1 for Windows 7 - go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547 to download it to your computer - the setup depends on what kind of modem you have and if you have another router connected - post back with this info to proceed - thanks

Air disc on airport extreme wont work. I have just bought and set up an airport extreme, everything works but the air disc.

Hi
I just bought an airport extreme and have replaced my previous airport express network with it in my house. I want to set up the air disc so all my computers, Macbook pro 2008, Macbook, 2010 and Mac mini 2010, can use my storage external storage drive collectively. I have been through the set up tutorial several times, and in the menu on the apple support intructions, where it says I should be able to check the box for share over a WAN, or something similar, I have a box saying share over internet with Bonjour? I have updated my airport utility, thinking that this may be the problem, but to no avail. I can only see my disc if I go to the manual set up on the airport extreme, and click on discs. I am very computer iliterate ( and a bad speller) hence I have macs as they are always almost plug and play. Can any one help me sort this out please.
Thanks

Hello,
if you see the drive in the Airport section "drives" your half the way to success.
In this section you should:
enable sharing --> ON
set security to airport extreme password
hold password in keychain --> ON
guest access to read/write
share over WAN -> OFF
share with bonjour over internet -> OFF
Apply settings
After that, the drive should show up in finder on your computers.

Why can't I set up my AirPort Extreme as a wireless jumper from my Cable internet router ?

Why can't I set up my AirPort Extreme as a wireless jumper from my Cable internet router ?

If it "joined" my network is it extending the coverage of my wifi network ?
Please review my previous answer in the post above......
But, the Express does not "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal when it joins a network. In other words, wireless devices cannot connect to the AirPort Express the way that you have it set up.
If so can my Airport Extreme be set up to "join" my network and also extend the coverage of my network ?
Again, please review my previous answer in the first reply above......
The AirPort Extreme does not have this type of capability.
If you have both an AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express.....my suggestion....again, found above in a previous post.....
It takes a minimum of two Apple routers to extend a signal using wireless.
You could do this by connecting the AirPort Extreme to your cable router using a permanently installed Ethernet cable and then configuring the AirPort Extreme to "create a wireless network".
Then add an AirPort Express in a location where it can pick up a strong wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme and configure the Express to "extend a wireless network".
You would not use the wireless on your cable router at all, unless you wanted to reserve that network for guests or something similar.
