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.

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.

Hi. I installed Firefox yesterday as part of a work requirement. Since then, my Next G internet device will not work. How do I change the settings on Firefox without being connected to the internet? I have had to uninstall Firefox so I can use the internet.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Can I use apple TV on home network with time capsule or Airport Xtreme without being connected to the internet?

I'm wondering if I can use Apple TV to play movies and slide shows on my TV, play music over my sound system and print from my devices (Iphone 4S, iPad and MacBook pro 2011) by using an Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule (to back up the devices) if those devices are not connected to the internet. Can anyone advise pls? Reason for this is that I work on a moving ship and don't have an internet connection to speak of for much of the time (and if I do it's a wireless system that I need to pay by the minute and that is too slow to support the Apple TV), but would all the same like to create a wireless environment where my devices can interact with each other. I seem to get conficting info and a rep at the apple store in Honolulu told me that you cannot use Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule without an internet connection (it was busy, he may have misunderstood my question).
Looking forward to your input.

Don't try to home share it.. as that is dependent on using Apple ID.
Just airplay to the ATV.. iTunes: Using AirPlay
The movie should play exactly as your doing music.. but get rid of the whole home share if that is causing issues.. there is no mention of needing home share in the above..
If you still have issues you might need to do it other ways.. like export the movie from itunes.. and play it using vlc which should allow you to stream it to the apple TV using airplay.
That is a bit tricky and I have not used that setup but it should work.

If you have a hunt around you should find it fairly easy to do.. but straight airplay should work.. there is a very recent update to ATV which might help it with airplay.

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?

Setting up AP Extreme n without it being connected to the Internet

Is it possible to set up the new AirPort Extreme Base Station (N) (as a one-bas-station network) to give me access to a hard disk and one or more printers, but without it being connected to the Internet?
I have tried setting up an AirPort network using WDS - with two AP Express base stations (one as the main base station, one as a remote), and a new APEXt n base station (as a remote). However, this will not work - well, the APEXt n will not join the network. I gave up, and set up a WDS network using just the two AP Express base stations. have detailed my trials and tribulations in a post in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4943448#4943448
However, I have just found a post that tells me that the APEXt (both g and n types) base stations cannot be used in client mode, which I presume is what I have been trying to do when using WDS to connect the two AP Express base stations and one of the newest AP Extreme base stations - as described above... The post is in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1081553&tstart=105
So, back to my original question - should I be able to use my AP Extreme (n) without having to connect it to the Internet? And if it won't be set up that way, what might I be doing wrong - or is there something wrong with the AP Extreme base station?
Thanks for any advice,
Daniel.

...I have just found a post that tells me that the APEXt (both g and n types) base stations cannot be used in client mode, which I presume is what I have been trying to do when using WDS...
No, WDS is not client mode. The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) can join a network using WDS.
...should I be able to use my AP Extreme (n) without having to connect it to the Internet?
Sure

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form?

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form? I have provided my clients a lifecycle .pdf form they can use to record data for unique client meetings. They want the ability to save their completed data whenever they use the form under a unique file name. I've told them the only way I know how to do this is to print the completed form as a .pdf document and then save it.
Is their a way to save the data to a unique file name without printing the filled form?
Is there a way to reset the form with blank fields after saving? or to add a clear fields button?
Thanks.

If you reader extend a pdf using livecycle reader extensions then you can save the filled in data - this is true if you are using Adobe reader to view the PDF's. If you open it in Acrobat then the functionality is already there.

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 to allow access to my airport extreme network for more than one wirelss device at the same time

I received a Kobo Vox ereader for Christmas and have not been able to connect to my home wireless network. It works with unsecured networks and I tested it out at an Apple reseller with their airport extreme netwok and it connects fine.
It seems as if I cannot have more than one wireless device connected to my home netork at the same time.
So here is what I did to test this out:
- I powered off the Kobo vox
- I shut down my macbook
- I turned off the modem and unplugged the power cord and removed the cable connection from the modem.
- I also unplugged the airport extreme router.
- I waited for about 15 minutes and then set it all up again and turned on the power to the router and the modem
- I turned on the kobo vox (I left my laptop shut down)
- my kobo vox was able to connected to the internet.
- I powered up my laptop and it couldn't connect to the internet.
So, I went through the above steps again and powered up my laptop first and was able to connect to the internet. I then turned on my Kobo and was not able to connect.
It seems as if I can only have one device connected to my wireless network at one time and that device is the first one to be powered on and connected to the internet.
Am I missing some network or airport extreme settings...
thanks

Try the following on your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Change the setting for Connection Sharing to read Share a public IP address
Click Update

My Airport Extreme 5th generation says it's not connected to the modem

My airport express died after 7 years. I upgraded to the Airport Extreme however when trying to configure it says I am not connected to the internet and that it can't find the DNS server. Any suggestions? I have Time Warner as my ISP.

Some cable modems store the identity (MAC address) of the computer/router attached to them and will work only with that one until they are reset (sometimes by powering them off and back on, sometimes by remote command from the cable provider). I have no clue whether yours would be one of them, but you might try the power cycle trick.
Another possibility is that your Extreme has not been configured properly to work with your modem. An example of a mismatch would be an Extreme trying to use DHCP to get an IP address from a modem not equipped to issue one.

Can I use the airport express as a repeater/range expander but without being connected to the modem with the ethernet cable?

I have a mac pro (2010 mid) to set up the airport

My 2003 Airport Extreme I guess does not provide this "enable extension of other Wireless Device" option in Airport Untility under "Wireless", because it is too old?
Correct. You will need one of the "square" AirPort Extreme versions if you want to do this.
Another question, do I need to buy a new Airport Extreme to be able to extend my Wi-Fi signal with the New Airport Express I just bought?
Yes, or another new AirPort Express. But, you cannot connect a hard drive to an AirPort Express. You can with an AirPort Extreme in case you were planning to add a hard drive.
One last question, I believe I understood that if I have the new Airport Extreme and use it with my Airport Express to extend the Wi-Fi Signal, I will be able to do this without my DSL Ethernet cable connected to the Airport Express?
The DSL cable will need to be connected to the AirPort that you designate as the "main" router on the network....assuming that you want to be able to connect to the Internet.
The other AirPort will connect using wireless only....assuming that it is located where it can get a good wireless signal.

Airport self-assigned IP address not able to connect to the internet

I installed airport into my eMac and have been using for over a month with no problems. Today I crashed using iWeb and had to restart with the startup button. Upon restart I couldn't get onto the internet via airport. The computer gets on via ethernet and my MacBook can still access the internet via airport. When I am trying to connect with airport I am told I am connected to my wireless network but the System Preferences>Network with Location set to Automatic, Shows Network Status as "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet." I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it not self-assign an IP address. I hope someone out there can.

Ouch I was hoping someone would have replied after I went to bed last night.
So I looked at some other posts and tried running applejack to no avail. I also removed the network from my prefered selection and reselected it to see if the WEP was the porblem, it wasn't. Then I switched to manual selection of IP and typed in 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. This got rid of the self-assigned IP note but when I tried to use Safari it still said I wasn't connected to the internet. Ugh. Could removing and replacing my airport card fix this problem?

Airport I just can use one device to connect with the internet, PPoE setup problem. Can't get the right ip

My airport exrreme can't get the right ip if I try to make a new network
I use also the apps
I have 3 devices but just can used always one
My ip and my user name is from the university
I need to fix the ip, username and password in the airport extrem, but he always copy a wrong ip in the system
Thanks for help
Elias

You're only allowed to authorize 5 devices with your apple id.
How many have you got authorized?
Maybe deauthorize one of them.
