Extreme external static ip

I just got an external static IP from my isp.
All works fine but internet is very very slow.
Anyone has an idea?

Let's double-check a few of your settings using AirPort Utility v5.x.
On the Internet > Internet Connection tab:
Connect Using = Ethernet
Ethernet WAN Port = Automatic (Default)
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
On the Internet > TCP/IP tab:
Configure IPv4 = Manually
IP Address = <the static IP address provided by your ISP>
All the other IP addresses on this tab should be the ones provided by your ISP.
Is this the way you are currently configured?

  • New Buffalo extreme external hard drive do I need to format before use

    Hello
    Just purchased a Buffalo extreme external hard drive which can be used for mac or windows.  What I would like to know, do I need to format it journaled before using this hard drive for backing up only?  Should I partition this hard?
    Thank you

  • Is an 'external' static IP address required to set up DNS

    Hi there
    I'm going to be setting up a OSX Server 10.3 machine as an open directory master, to take advantage of single sign-on capabilities.
    From what I have read in manuals and in this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=977178&tstart=15 , it is necessary to configure the DNS service first. However, the topic talks about having an external IP address for the server, as well as for the internet router.
    Is this the only method that will work? The network only has one external IP address as far as I am aware.
    Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
    Matt

    The answer is, it depends.
    If you want your server to provide any external services then it will need an external IP address. Now, depending on your network, you may be able to use a single IP address on your router, having it NAT incoming connections via port forwarding - that's a common setup.
    The bigger issue is whether you need a static IP address or can live with a dynamic one. A static IP address is required if you're running certain services such as DNS or Mail. Other services might be able to get by with a dynamic IP, depending on what you're doing with them (for example, it's OK to run a personal web site on a dynamic IP address, but you wouldn't want to do that for a corporate web site that gets a lot of traffic.

  • AirPort Extreme External Drive Not Recognized

    I have an AirPort Extreme 802.11ac and am hooking up a Seagate 1.5TB external hard drive (USB 3.0 with backward compatability) to the USB port but it is not being recognized by Airport Utility. Does this need a power source? What am I doing wrong?
    I did reformat the external drive from NTFS to be Mac compatible (Mac OS Extended - Journaled) and when I plug the external drive into my MacAir, it shows up and is completely usable. Once I plug into the AirPort Extreme though, it goes into the netherland and I can't find it at all.
    Help?

    I have the HGST Touro USB3 drive that works fine with apple airport routers.
    I did try and establish a sort of database.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5912861?tstart=0
    Contributions are sadly lacking but it already shows.. some work some don't.. some work with hubs some don't.
    To OP..
    As per Bob's comment.. you are now in Limbo.. since you don't know if the problem is the hard disk or the usb hub. And it is possible either or both are at fault.
    Look at OWC as they seem to specialise in external drives for Mac/Apple world. They sell hundreds of different USB drives.. I recommend you ring and ask their sales staff .. explain the problem and what you want.. a disk that works with model xyz airport.. like the Apple document show.
    Even from Australia we buy stuff from OWC as they have first class knowledge of apple systems. And if you look for specials they are excellent.. !!

  • Airport Extreme external hdd causes router to reboot

    When I try to access my external WD hard drive (formatted to FAT32) on my AirPort Extreme, it freezes and causes the router to reboot. How do I fix this?
    I am accessing the hdd from windows 7 pc.

    Try adding a powered USB hub....even if the WD drive has its own power supply.
    Reason...the USB port is borderline as far as its ability to supply sufficient power for a hard drive even when the Extreme is new and even when the drive has its own power supply.
    If the Extreme is a few years old, it is not delivering as much power to the USB port as it once did, and it needs some help.
    Worst case, the internal power supply on the Extreme is starting to head South. That is usually not an issue until the device is 4-5 years old.

  • Extreme w/static IP doesn't work well with iPhone

    At our school I've installed a new Extreme Base Station, but we're having trouble with a couple of iPhones not automatically picking it up. Sometimes using the web browser or email makes it connect, but not always.
    Our school district requires that the Base Station have a static IP address, and it's just bridging our wired network, not doing DHCP. With my older Airport at home the iPhone picks it up even before I can get out of my car in the garage - but it's not a static IP and there is another router on my network doing DHCP.
    Does the static IP and no DHCP make the Airport connection not as automatic at school? I got this because one of our principals and I both have iPhones - and he's not real happy so far with it.
    Any ideas welcome.

    If your base station has a static IP address, what about any computers that are connecting to it? If there are any such, what are they using for IP addresses?
    Everything in the entire school district (80+ schools, 50,000+ students) has a static IP.
    Do you know why your school district has that policy? Would they be willing to allocate a set of IP addresses to your base station, so that you could configure it to "Distribute a range of IP addresses"?
    I think they perceive the static IP approach to be more secure. No, we're not allowed to do any DHCP anywhere in the entire district - I've asked
    It seems to be working fairly well now, it's just odd. If I stand near the base station with my iPhone:
    -sometimes it automatically switches to the wifi icon
    -sometimes it doesn't, but then does when you use Mail or Safari
    -sometimes it uses 3G instead of wifi at first
    It's like it takes 30-90 seconds for the iPhone to really recognize and use the wifi. I have never seen that before and the only difference is that this base station and the iPhone are static IPs and no DHCP.

  • Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme + External Hard Drive for iTunes Library

    Hi, I currently have an Airport Extreme (Gigabit) and am planning on getting a MacBook Pro. What I want to do is keep my iTunes Library on an External Hard Drive and attach it to my AirPort so I can access it anywhere in the house (and world). Now I have been reading various reviews that perhaps a Time Capsule would be better for my needs. I don't plan on using it for Time Machine backups right now, just as a NAS Drive. If anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate the advice.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I have something like that working at the moment. My setup is based on a Mac Mini Core Duo [ OS 10.5.6 ] connected to a Time Capsule. I have configured iTunes to store all archived music on the Time Capsule. I use the Apple Lossless format for my CDs and approx 420 titles have taken approx 130Gb from my 1Tb Capsule. In general this setup works well [ especially the optical out of the Mac ] but be aware of the following potential pitfalls:-
    1. The Time Capsule is a little on the noisy side and depending on the quality of your playback equipment, your choice of music, ambient noise and your values of "satisfactory" you may want to put your Capsule or HDD in another room. This seems OK for generic playback, but in my experience wireless is not a good way to go for streaming content.
    2. iTunes v8.0.2 has a preferences capability to allow you to redirect it's archive to the Time Capsule. However, even if you leave the Capsule switched on it goes into a "sleep" mode. Rip a new CD and iTunes won't tell you this; instead it will silently reconfigure itself to store on your local hard drive and then you're left with the challenge of moving your collection piecemeal if you want it in one location, followed by manually updating iTunes to "point" it to the new location of the music.
    One nice thing about the Capsule is that it does allow other connection types. I have mine networked to a PC running Ubuntu Linux and a music player called Amarok and I am able to stream the Mac-Ripped lossless files and play them over Linux perfectly... Works very well. Apparently you can do this with a Windows client and iTunes for Windows, but I don't run Windows as a matter of principle and can't validate that.
    My 1Tb Time Capsule runs hot, too. Not dangerously so, but hot to the touch. There are no cooling fans, but you might want to think about placement; it needs plenty of fresh air circulating around it.
    For what it's worth [ and I appreciate this is going beyond your question ] I also wanted my setup to be able to store and retrieve recorded TV. I have Elgato EyeTV and a USB Freeview decoder. I quickly learned that despite claims to the contrary the performance of the wireless connection just isn't up to streaming video content. So I went out and purchased a pair of Ethernet-over-mains adapters from Zyxel that are absolutely perfect for the job.
    Yes, the Capsule is a little pricey for what is little more than a Hard Drive in a box, but it does work very well.
    Beware the timeout disconnections and the silently re-configuring iTunes thought...

  • Time Capsule vs. Airport Extreme & external HDD

    Hullo all. For time capsule backups, i am either going to purchase a 1tb time capsule unit or an external usb drive to use with an airport extreme base station's usb port. Wondering if someone more knowledgeable than i knows if either choice offers a transfer speed advantage over the other.
    Also, if i go with the external usb drive option then i'd like to employ a usb hub so that when necessary i can also run my printer off of the same airport's usb port. Would anybody know if this would work okay, without compromising backup speed and quality?
    Thanks!

    Of course - that is the essence of my question: what's faster, time capsule or an AEBS and fast usb external drive. And is the speed difference significant.
    One big problem not being addressed by that choice is that Time Capsule itself is slow. Even if you connect a computer over Gigabit Ethernet directly to a Time Capsule with its internal interface hard drive, you will not get throughput anywhere close to Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
    From the Macworld review of Time Capsule:
    Depending on the size and number of files being backed up, throughput ranged from 45 to 60 Mbps over gigabit Ethernet. This would put an initial 100GB backup at 4 to 6 hours.
    That's right. Real transfer times are lower than 100Mbps Ethernet, on a par with 802.11g wireless, and well below USB 2.0.
    The speeds in the review and in my experience mean that with Time Capsule, neither USB nor the hard drive is the real bottleneck because both have higher throughput than Time Capsule's networking chipset. I don't know if the AEBS would be faster.

  • Airport Extreme external hdd slow after update 7.6.1

    Hi, need help!
    Since I updated the Airport Extreme firmware to 7.6.1 the access to my external disk is extremelly slow. Sometimes I can only access it by IP address, it not even appears in the Finder.
    In the same day I updated to Airport Utility to 6.0, again, another error. Now I can't see the Airport, only by IP.
    Installed the older version of Airport Utility, the 5.6, but nothing changed, it only appears by a few hours if I reset the Airport.
    I'm getting crazy, there's no logic in this error.
    If I use the Airport Utility from the iPad, everything is fine. In fact, I have to use the iPad if I want to perform a restart or reset the Airport.
    If I use the Finder after a reset I can see the disk, but its very slow. If I access the disk by IP its works ok.
    The Time Machine uses the external disk from the Airport, the last time took 3 hours to copy 500Mb.
    Downgraded the firmware to 7.6, but it stays the same.
    Help, don't know what more to do.

    I spent several weeks trying to diagnose and repair this problem.  Unfortunately the only fix I have found is to revert my firmware version all the way back to 7.4.2.  I'm not the only one who has had to do this.  If you search the net you will find that this is the standard solution.
    As near as I can tell, Apple has abandoned any attempts to fix the major problems the airport extreme has with sharing USB devices.  They sell it as a big feature of the router but it has been very disappointing.  I will soon be purchasing a new non-Apple router because the airport extreme is no longer the only unit with dual antenna and device sharing features.

  • (Synology, ReadyNAS, or Airport Extreme)+External

    I just recently switched to Mac. I had a big desktop, my girlfriend had a very old macbook, so we are dumping both and just bought a MB Air. We need some external storage and my initial idea was an Airport Extreme + an external harddrive and using that as a NAS. The reason for this instead of a TC is that we want to be able to unplug the Hard drive and take it with us incase we are going some where with no wifi access.
    I also have not given up on having a smaller Windows desktop in the near future, I love both operating systems, so I want both
    2 things with the Airport Extreme with an external:
    I have heard that they are rather slow. Now if this would be the large chunk of my storage, I do not want a slow NAS dragging me down on a brand new laptop.
    Also, when I get a windows desktop in the future, I would need special software to access the drive attached to the Airport Extreme, not a huge deal but annoying.
    Now for the other options: Synology and ReadyNAS
    From what I have seen, Synology is the better brand and ReadyNAS is the budget.
    If I were to use an external attached to one these (I also will mount internal drives too), would it be equally as slow as the Airport Extreme?
    Would I need to format the harddrive differently, essentially would I still need software on the windows desktop to access the NAS, or could we leave the drive in its current format (useable on both operating systems).
    I know the one downside of this is that the Airport Extreme has a router built in, do any of the Synology or ReadyNAS drives have this? Most internet providers in San Diego where I am provide a Router/Modem in one.
    Thanks for your help!

    I have heard that they are rather slow. Now if this would be the large chunk of my storage, I do not want a slow NAS dragging me down on a brand new laptop.
    It appears that your goal is to have quick-access file sharing as a higher priority to overall file storage. If this is the case, a dedicated Ethernet NAS would be a superior solution to an AirPort Disk (a USB HDD attached to the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule base stations.)
    The AirPort Disk will work with both OS X & Windows clients ... even Linux. However, as you mentioned, disk data access speeds are not stellar.
    Also, when I get a windows desktop in the future, I would need special software to access the drive attached to the Airport Extreme, not a huge deal but annoying.
    No. The Extreme's file sharing service supports the SMB file sharing protocol to allow access from Windows or Linux-based clients.
    If I were to use an external attached to one these (I also will mount internal drives too), would it be equally as slow as the Airport Extreme?
    Possibly, but that would depend on the connection type used for external HDD support on these dedicated NAS devices.
    Would I need to format the harddrive differently, essentially would I still need software on the windows desktop to access the NAS, or could we leave the drive in its current format (useable on both operating systems).
    NAS devices have built in file server support. Think of them as mini servers with multiple internal HDDs. Whether or not, your PC will require additional software will depend on what additional features (RAID, iTunes Server, Time Machine support, etc.) that you want this NAS device to provide. In most cases, if the NAS supports a particular feature it will come with the appropriate software to access it.
    I know the one downside of this is that the Airport Extreme has a router built in, do any of the Synology or ReadyNAS drives have this?
    None that I know of and would doubt any will in the future.
    Most internet providers in San Diego where I am provide a Router/Modem in one.
    ... and in that case getting an AirPort Extreme or any other wireless router would not be necessary ... unless you still want to go the route of having a router that supports file sharing with external HDDs.

  • Windows 7 with Airport Extreme External HD Connected

    I have read for the past few hours and worked to get my new Toshiba Windows 7 laptop to recognize my external hard drive that is connected to my Airport Extreme.  I have 2 other laptops, Windows XP, that connected without problems.  I have tried almost every solution I could find in this forum with no success.  I have turned off the windows search function.  I have changed the airport channel from automatic to manual selecting channel 11.  I have Windows 7 Home Edition and cannot access the local security settings. 
    I am at a loss and very frustrated that I just bought this new computer and cannot use it.  Any suggestions or fixes?
    As I mentioned, I have literally spent a few hours searching, reading and trying.
    Thanks.

    For Win7 Home edition, you will have to make a Registry change. Please do so only if you are comfortable with making Registry edits ... and, as always, any errors introduced may render your Win7 device unbootable.
    Open registry editor ( Start search - regedit)
    Browse to  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    Create a new DWORD value  with the following properties:   NAME: LmCompatibilityLevel    VALUE: 1
    Restart your PC and try the connection again.

  • 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.

  • Airport extreme external drive Format?

    I have an airport extreme and would like to set up either one or both external drives 2tb and 3tb as media drives or storage. I have a combination of Imac, Ipad, PCs and Android devices that connect and I would like to have the abilty to read/ write to these drives. Is this possible? And if it is what format should the drive/s be in?
    Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else I have searched and can't seem to get a good answer.
    thanks for the help!!

    An USB drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), FAT16, or FAT32, and will work best if formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) when there are any Macs on the network. ExFAT and NTFS won't work.
    If it's an Ethernet drive and not an USB one, you don't normally need to be concerned with how the drive is formatted. Just plug it in.

  • Unstable remote access to extreme external hard drive

    Why can't I reliably access a usb hard drive plugged in the back of my airport extreme over the internet?
    I've bought a new dsl modem (Netgear). I've upgraded to a static ip. This helped for a while. But as far as I can tell, after I access the usb hard drive via wireless at home it seems to break the ability to connect to the same network remotely. The extreme and network name show up in the left pane of the finder window, but it will not connect. The Extreme is in bridge mode; the hard drive is a WD but NOT formatted as a mac journaled format. I have tried also tried a powered usb port. Does not make a difference.
    I have the latest airport extreme, and running the latest Maverics on a 6 month old MacBook Pro. What is happening? What am I doing wrong? I've had this problem for months.

    6) I'm not following this. Looking at my modem, it is set to ppoe (has to be); modem is set in modem & router mode; ip address and DNS are set for "get automatically from ISP; LAN port set with DHCP ON; and interestingly, two different ip addresses (0.2 and 0.5) for devices with the name of my network as the device--and both of these have the same MAC address.
    Bridge the adsl modem.. instead of using it as modem router, use it as modem only.
    Look up instructions for your exact model modem on how to bridge.. Of all the companies Netgear can be the most difficult and occasionally impossible to bridge. But you should try.. or borrow a simple modem that can be easily bridged.
    In the AE, setup the WAN, instead of dhcp use PPPOE, and put your username and password for ISP there.
    This puts the AE as the main router of the network.. and puts the public IP on its WAN interface.. this can be extremely helpful when you have access issues.
    5) I don't know how to locate the port I am using.
    You should specific the port in the setup.
    See the Tesserax doco on remote access using port forwarding.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3413
    In the document he shows how to setup using 8888 which is port translated to 548.. much better for security than opening known AFP port to the world.
