How to open Nat on airport extreme

Hello i just got a new airport extreme trying to connect xbox it says i need to open nat. my computer is running vista i have a ipad and iphone 5s please help

Xbox uses upnp.. think vhs..
Apple routers use NAT-PMP.. think betamax..
When xbox says please open the following ports for me.. apple router blows a rasberry at it.. and says tough.. you are not apple.. I don't have to do what you say.
Same for your vista computer.
iOS devices should be ok.
You will need to manually port forward. Good luck with that.

The latest Xbox one should just add a couple of ports but will be about the same.

  • How do I access my airport extreme drives online

    how do I access my airport extreme drives over the internet?

    Here are the basic steps to share an AirPort Disk over the Internet.
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn,) and then, note the IP address shown.
    Select Manual Setup.
    Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
    Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
    Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
    Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
    Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
    Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
    Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
    For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
    In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
    In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
    Click on Update.
    To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
    From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
    Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
    Click Connect.
    You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
    Click Connect.

  • How do I use my airport extreme with my FIOS router?

    How do I use my AirPort Extreme base station with my FIOS Router to extend my network?  I have hard disks connected to my AirPort Extreme and would lik to access them.

    Probably can't answer all your questions - but.... I use a Linksys (wired and wireless) router as my primary entry point for FIOS. I use a Time Capsule and an Airport Express as a common wireless connection. So I have two visibile wireless networks and use them both depending on where I am in the house. Both the TC and AEx can be seen either wirelessly or wired from the entire network. Note - the Linksys provides all the DHCP - you set the apple routers as "bridge mode."

  • 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.

  • How do i add my airport extreme to my DSL WIFI Modem to expand my network

    I have a DSL MODEM with WIFI. It replaced my Airport Extreme as a router.
    How can I use the Airport Extreme in conjunction to expand my wifi service through out my house.
    AIRPORT EXTREME MODELA 1354
    Modem is a Qwest PK5000z
    WPA-WPA2 PERSONAL
    MAC BOOK PRO 2011
    OS 10.9.5

    Ok, the Airport Utility Program NOW shows the globe, a green light next to the word internet
    below, there is a now a yellow triangle next to AirPort Extreme with an ! in it. """the messase to the right says
    Diveic Not Found:Airport Extremem was previously part of your net work Check that is still in range of you network
    (it is it's right next to the PK5000) it's plugged in. Forgetting this device removes it from this network."""
    AND NOW
    Bob, I can now see where I missed the fact that to do this the Airport had to be Wired_via ethernet,
    I was looking for it to be a boost wirelessly, not tethered.
    I’m not at liberty to modify the living space I am living in, holes and such and have cable run up exposed.
    Again, ignorance on my #1 status. This has been very informative but I do see where I can't accomplish what I wanted to do, have a booster in another room wirelessly.
    I think what I need to do is restore the Airport to factory setting and sit on it, not literally.
    I can't thank you enough for taking all this time with me. I trust you understand what I wanted and you did your best to provide.
    So I guess that's it for now.
    I'll look to you in the future, you really know your stuff
    All the best to you from MN

  • How do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

    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 setup my Airport Extreme so that I can extend the coverage of my existing AT&T wifi network?

    How do I setup my Airport Extreme so that I can extend the coverage of my existing AT&T wifi network?

    Start by establishing a permanent fixed Ethernet cable connection from one of the available LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
    Ethernet cabling can be run up to 300+ feet or 100 meters, so you should be able to locate the AirPort Extreme exactly where it will be needed to provide more wireless signal coverage.
    Configure the AirPort Extreme to "create" a wireless network using exactly the same wireless network name, same wireless security setting, and same wireless network password that the ATT wireless is using.
    The final step is to insure that the AirPort Extreme is configured to operate in Bridge Mode, so it will work correctly with the ATT modem/router.
    If you need more specific steps, we need to know what operating system you are using on your Mac or PC. If you have a Mac and do not know which operating system it is using.....click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X version number that you see there.

  • How do I get my airport extreme to stop recycling? Using OSX 10.7.4, Airport Utility 6.1

    How do I get my Airport Extreme to stop recycling? I'm using OSX 10.7.4 and Airport Utility 6.1.

    The Airport Extreme is putting out the signal OK. Gan use my iPod no prob. The Mac goes from 'On' to 'looking for networks' back and forth all the time.
    As Apple has said the AirPort Extreme is functioning correctly if other devices can connect. You have a Mac issue, so that is really a question for the support area for your Mac.
    I suggest that you try one of these general areas, then pick out the specific model that you have:
    Desktop Computers             Notebooks

  • How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?

    How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?

    OK. The 6.0 version no longer has a printer configuration that I could find. You might try Printer Sharing in the Sharing preferences.
    I would also check the printer's user manual for help with the setup, and that failing check the manufacturer's website and/or tech support.

  • How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?

    How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?  I have an ISP provided wireless Router that has to remain as the base station.  I am able to join my 1/2TB Airport Extreme and Airport Express to the network, but I can't access/use Time Machine.

    One option would be to connect the Time Capsule (TC) to the ISP-provided wireless router by Ethernet. You can then configure the for a roaming network. Then, depending on what your goal is for the AirPort Express, you can either: 1) Add it to roaming network, 2) Configure the TC & the Express for an "extended" network, or 3) Configure the Express to "join" the roaming network for AirPlay.

  • HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

    How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
    In the meantime..
    Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
    With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
    ie
    You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
    Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.
