How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to another router.

I have tried doing this by changing the Internet Settings in the Manual section of the AirPort Utility. When I set Connection Sharing to 'Share a public IP address', it tells me that the beginning and ending DHCP Addresses are conflicting with the Airport Extreme.
What would be a better way?

Thank you very much for your quick and clear response.
What would be the consequences if I disable the NAT & DHCP on the upstream router?
Btw, the reason that I use the AEBSn is that I have problems connecting ipad/ipod/iphone to the router provided by the telephone company (I'm living in Spain - and because of that we have a lot of visitors coming over). Besides that, I'm working with a MacBook Pro and to be able to be as mobile as possible, I have a hard disk for Time Machine connected to the AEBSn.
At the moment, the AEBSn is connecting the following to the Internet:
- Ipod touch
- Ipad
- Iphone
- 2 x MacBook Pro
- AirBook
- Old G4
- Blu Ray player
- HP Printer

    How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to Satellite Receiver?

    Depending on how you have your AirPort Extreme configured to work with the satellite receiver, it may or may not be possible to enable the Guest Network function.
    We will need to check some settings on your Mac or PC, but in order to do that, we need to know what operating system you are using on your computer.
    If you have a Mac, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

  • How to Set Up Time Capsule With Airport Extreme and Airport Express

    Just got a new 1TB Time Capsule. I want it to be the main base station for my network. I already have a network set up with an older Airport Extreme base station and an Airport Express to extend it. I am thinking that rather than setting up the Time Capsule to "join" the old network, the best approach is to disconnect the Airport Extreme and Airport Express and reset them. Then set up the Time Capsule as a brand new network and bring the reset Aiport Extreme and Express onto the new network as if my original network never existed.
    Is that the right approach or am I complicating it? Can I just join the Time Capsule to the existing network and still make it the main base station for the network?

    I'd first use AirPort Utility to "Save a Copy As" of your AirPort Extreme settings. Then disconnect it, connect the Time Capsule in its place, and use AirPort Utility's "Import" function to read those settings. (Both of those functions are under AirPort Utility's "File" menu.) You may have to adjust a few settings. Once you have the Time Capsule working as you want, you can reconfigure your AirPort Extreme unit as you wish.

  • Is it possible to set up a network with airport extreme that is not on the internet

    Is it possible to set up a home network using airport extreme that will be a non-internet option?  Not connected to the internet wifi. 

    Is it possible to set up a home network using airport extreme that will be a non-internet option?
    Yes

    If the AirPort Exteme is not connected to the Internet, then Internet connections will not be available on wireless or wired connections.

  • Need DHCP ending address to set up Guest network on Airport expressk

    I have a 2wire modem router that I attached an Airport express to to resolve the issue of constant droppin gof the internet. The wireless and outing are turned off the 2 wire so it acts as a simple modem. I then was able to access the the section in Airport Utility to set up the Guest Network. When I change the net work from Bridged to Shared, I had errors for the beginning and ending DHCP #s. I have the beging number but have no idea what the ending number is or how where to look.

    The error message is the DHCP range conflicts with the WAN IP address. The default range that was entered by the utility was 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.200. It does not like the begining or the ending address. i entered 192.168.1.254 (DNS server and router) and it accepts that s the starting  address.

  • How I create guest network in AirPort Extreme )

    In order to enable the Guest Network feature, you must use a simple modem with the AirPort Extreme.

  • How to set up port mapping in airport extreme?

    I just buy a Ip cam (d link) which need to set up port forwarding for outside access.
    What can I do?  My ISP is netvigator.
    How to set up and input which address to the airport utility?
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    Mmm, generally you don't need to do much port mapping in an extreme. Not sure I understand you.  What does the d-link do?

  • Can´t enable guest network on Airport Extreme?

    Hi!
    I have just bought a Airport Extreme to replace my old D-Link DIR-655 router. The reason was to (a) be able to extend the WLAN using an Airport Express and (b) having the option of using the quest network feature.
    The Airport Extreme is a generation 2 802.11n with the latest FW (v.7.6).
    I have managed to replace the old router and the network seems to work as intended. However, I do not have the tab called "Guest Network" mentioned in this gudie: http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/create_guest_wifi_network
    The Extreme is NOT in bridge mode but in "Share a public IP address".
    What could be the problem? Why doesn´t I have the tab letting me anabling this feature?
    My own suspicion is that it is because of the generation 2 lacking dual-band support as generation 3-5 (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPort_Extreme_802.11n#Comparison_Chart). Is this correct? Would I need to upgrade te hardware to a generation 3,4 or 5?

    Gah!
    I was so pleased when I found a used unit for a reasonable price. Time ti start looking again, I suppose.
    Thank you for confirming my suspicion.

  • Would like to setup guest network apple airport extreme will only allow limited access

    imac 10.9.3 connected to internet with airport extreme /xfinity router trying to setup guest network can't connect to internet

    The guest network feature of the Apple routers will work correctly when the Apple device connects to a simple modem.......not a modem/router or gateway type of device.
    If the guest network feature is important to you, check with your Internet Service Provider to see if they can supply you with a simple modem......which will then allow the guest network feature to work correctly on your network.

  • Set up guest network?

    I just set up new time capsule, no problems , up and running.
    Going from Airport Extreme to Time Capsule.
    On Exteme I had a Guest network, I cannot figure out how to
    set up Guest Network with Time Capsule, arrgggh!
    Any suggestions? Model #A1470
    Thanks

    The Guest Network feature will not work correctly if the Time Capsule is in Bridge Mode, so it might make sense to check that first.
    On your Mac....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule
    Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the window
    Check to make sure that the setting for Router Mode is set to DHCP and NAT
    If it is, you can proceed to the next step. If it is not, do NOT proceed any further. Post back with the make and model number of your modem.
    Click the Wireless tab next to the Network tab
    Enter a check mark in the box next to Enable Guest Network
    Type in a name that you want to use for the Guest Network
    Security should be WPA2 Or WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Type in password that you want to use
    Verify the password
    Click Update at the lower right an allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart

If we don't have a solution for this question, can i set my AE to use the IP TV and how??? I'm using a 4th Airport extreme

    No, not unless it is simply a network connection.
    How is your IPTV being provided.. if it is using a separate vlan or separate vpi/vci in the adsl connection. Who is your ISP?
    Is the TP-Link ADSL?
    Is the IPTV using a separate voice channel on adsl?
    Or a different vlan.
    Sorry but it is something where a definite answer is not possible unless you provide all the details.
    The setups are unique to each ISP around the world..
    Here is one for our local ISP.

    He has a section on getting this working with apple router over wireless.. look
    http://www.avenard.org/iptv/IPTV_and_Wireless.html
    Google around and see if other people have had success.. the whole setup is tricky.. and it is hard if nobody has used it who actually understands networking.

  • When attempting  to set a password on my Airport Extreme guest network i get this "Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a global hostname." What can i do to set password on this network?

    When attempting to set a password on my Airport Extreme Guest Network i get this "Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a global hostname." What does it mean. Or what i need to do to correct it.

    When trying to troubleshoot my problem I discovered a forum that was saying certain NTFS drives work just fine
    Apple support says that an NTFS or exFAT drive cannot be used when connected to the AirPort Extreme.
    I suppose it is possible that someone might have been using some type of special software on the drive that might perform a "conversion", but without more details, it is hard to know.
    Note: ExFAT and NTFS formats aren't supported.
