How do I connect an Airport Extreme to my ISP with a static IP address?

I have 5 static IP addresses from my ISP. The cable modem has five ethernet jacks. I run an ethernet cable from separate jacks on th cable modem to the devices listed next. I have one static IP address assigned to a Linksys wireless router for a MS network. Another is used by my VoIP router. I want to use a third static IP address for my Airport Extreme and set up a new network for a server running Leopard Server, iMacs, latptops. When I enter a static IP address in the Airport Extreme, I can't connect to the internet. Can anybody help?

When you configured your Airport Extreme with one of the five static (and public) IP addresses available to you - did you remember to also configure the Airport Extreme with your ISP's router (or "gateway") IP address as well as the IP address(es) of your ISP's domain name servers?

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))

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.

How do I connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to Epson 645 Printer?

I can't figure out how to connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to my Epson 645 Printer. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

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 my modem (Cisco Model DPC3010)?

I am having trouble connecting my Airport Extreme Wireless Base Station to a Cisco Modem (Model DPC3010). I have used the Airport Extreme for years with other modems with no trouble. Alas, this time around I can't get it to work. I think I might not have the cable connected correctly. Help, please. Thanks

How do i connect my airport extreme with my airport express

how do i link my Airport Express with my Airport Extreme?

Hello Bob -
I have an Apple Extreme (5th Gen) and I have tried to extend my network with an Apple Express Model No. A1264 with the ethernet connection. It does not seem to work, and has crashed my network twice. When I did get it to work, the wireless crawled. When I took the AirPort Express off of the network the speed went back up.
Can this be done to extend the network, as I have the Extreme in the basement where the cable comes into the house, and I have two other floors that need wireless access. Any suggestions for this older model AirPort Express?
Thanks.

How Do I Connect An Airport Extreme With Password to another Wireless Devic

We have a setup for two different wireless devices so that there are multiple locations that can get online, but the entire setup has no passwords assigned. We would like to assign passwords to both wireless devices so that only the appropriate people are getting online. How does one do this?
The first wireless device that connects directly to the modem from the phone company is a brand new Apple Airport Extreme. The computer that set up the device so that people can get a signal was from a PC that is directly connected to the Airport Extreme via an ethernet cable. Also connected to the Airport Extreme is an ethernet cable that goes (50-100ft) to another wireless device - by Netgear - which then sends out another signal to pick up wireless internet, which is the signal/network that I work from.
If we assign a password to the Airport Extreme, I'm guessing it will complete screw up the connection to the Netgear. How would that be dealt with? And, how could we then, if we wanted, set up a password for the Netgear as well. I've read some initial information on the user guide CD and online, but I don't know the terminology of whether these are networks or just wireless devices 'bridged' together, etc.
My biggest concern, is it works right now, but the owner of the devices wants to put passwords on it and I want to make sure we can keep it working even with passwords. Does anyone know how to easily set up passwords and can I do it from my computer even though they were initially set up by a PC? Or do I have to do it from the PC and if so, how, because I am completely a Mac person and am very unfamiliar with Windows. Thanks.

Question that I need to know now is how do we set up a password on the Apple Airport Extreme now, when it is already set up and working without one?
Open AirPort Utility.
Select your base station, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a password scheme from the Wireless Security pop-up menu.
Enter the password all users will need in order to join this wireless network.
AirPort Utility 5.1 Help: Password-protecting your wireless network
Also, are there different types of passwords and if so, what is the most reliable one so that we don't lose connections, time out or have any other quirks?
There are different types of wireless encryption. WPA2 and WPA are the most secure especially when used with a non-dictionary password. 128 bit WEP is passable in most situations but not very strong. 40/64 bit WEP is extremely weak.
There is really no general "reliability" issue with any of them. Some devices aren't compatible with some of them.
If when we assign a password to the Apple Airport Extreme and for some reason the Netgear stops working, how do we unassign/take away the password on the Airport to get it back to the current setup that we know does work?
Follow the procedure above but disable wireless encryption instead of enabling it.

How do I connect my Airport Extreme to the Internet, It will not connect

I just got roadrunner internet and switched from dsl. I've been using the modem that came with dsl, but now I'm trying to use the Airport Extreme. My Imac does have the airport card, and I am able to get it to work with the airtunes to work with my stereo speakers, but I can't get a wireless internet connection. I've tried going through the set-up and I still can't get the internet connection to work. Can someone help me set it up?

I'm a little cofused. Do you have an express or an extreme? Or both? In the case of either the solo exrpress or the extreme, they need something to access the internet with. It would need a source, most likely to be ethernet connected to the modem. Unless you have a modem that also acts as a wireless router or some such concoction. You would then have a wireless router to give your iMac a wireless signal.

How do I prevent the Airport Extreme router from dropping with DSL when a call comes in?

I just installed a new Aiport Extreme 802.11n router. I am using DSL and it works great until someone calls me. When the phone rings and my answering machine answers the call the router drops and start flashing amber.My old router did not have this problem. Is there an option I can set that will prevent the router from dropping when someone calls me?

The AirPort Extreme should be configured to "create a wireless network" with the same WiFi network name, security type (usually WPA2 Personal) and password as your existing router. It should be configured as connection type Ethernet and be in bridge mode.

Canon MP500 connected to AirPort Extreme won't communicate with my desktop

My Canon Pixma MP500 (which we really like) is connected to my new AirPort Extreme Base station via the USB port. My PC is attached via network cable to the base station. I have a MacBook. When printing to my printer from my PC, the printer doesn't communicate back to the PC that it is printing. Plus, I have lost the ability to determine the ink levels. I'm sure all of this is tied to bidirectional communication between the printer and the computer. Both of my computers (desktop PC and MacBook) print to the printer with no problem, but I have lost the other features. I can't scan on my printer now with the MP Navigator software. For example, when I print from the pc, there is an error message that the printer is not available, even though it prints ok.
Is there any way to leave the connection the way it is and to modify the AirPort Utility software to allow the bidirectional communication with the printer? Any other advice? I bought the AirPort Extreme base station to have printing from my MacBook, now I think I have mis-spent the money.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
interestingly enough I have the very same problem with a Canon MP830. My Windows PC and MacBook Pro running XP as well will happily print but there is no feedback.
But I also had this problem with different non-Apple access points with integrated print server. So this seems not to be a special Airport Extreme problem.
Canon support told me to buy a Silex print server.
Hope someone can resolve this.
Regards,
Wolfgang

How do I set up Airport extreme as a remote with Gateway 2wire as a base

I just switched over to sbcglobal from comcast. Before switching, I had been using an APE as a base station connected with ethernet to my G5 and another APE as a remote. With sbcgobal I got a Gateway 2wire modem. What I would like to know is how do I set up my APE as remote? I need this to be able get my G4 powerbook to connect. I can wireless connect using my G4 a short distance away but if I go to the other end of the house no luck. Thats why I need this remote.
thanks

With sbcgobal I got a Gateway 2wire modem. What I would like to know is how do I set up my APE as remote?
Unfortunately, you won't be able to do this as few non-AirPort routers will work with AirPorts in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

How do i use the airport extreme to extend my wireless network

How do i connected my airport extreme up to my existing network so that it can extend my wireless through out the house ??
Can it be done wirelessly or do i need an ethernet cable thats about 10m ?
Keith

The AirPort Exteme can "extend" your existing wireless network (using wireless only) if it is being provided by another Apple router.
If your current main router is not an Apple product, then you will need to plan to connect the AirPort Extreme to your router using an Ethernet cable.
Post back for more information if needed.

Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme.
Sorry, but no.
Time Machine will backup your Mac, but not the hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme.
Time Machine will back up a hard drive only if it is attached directly to your Mac via USB or FireWire.

How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad

Hello,
How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad / windows laptop.
I donot have a Mac and I use windows laptop.

For your iPad, you will need an app, like FileBrowser, to access the external drive.
For your Windows laptop, you would access the drive like any other network share. The basic format is: \\<servername>\<sharename>, where, in this case, the servername is the base station name and the sharename is the name of the external drive.
