HT1515 Buffalo LinkStation 420 and Apple Airport Extreme

How do I setup an Airport Extreme so that it works with a Buffalo LinkStation 420 (NAS)?  Right now the NAS is connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet cable but I can't see the NAS.

There are few that are WDS compatible, here is a list of those that do for sure work.

  • Chromecast and Apple Airport Extreme Base Station

    Hey guys,
    So I have a Chromecast and an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (newest AC one).  There is a setting on the base station called "Block incoming IPV6 Connection."  With it enabled, my Chromecast cannot connect to router and is thus un-useable.  Disabling it allows my Chromecast to work.  My first question is: if I keep that option disabled, will my network be vulnerable to outside access by unwanted person (moreso than with it enabled)?  And, does anyone know how to get it so that the "block incoming IPV6  connections" option can be enabled while still allowing Chromecast to connect?
    Thanks

    Solved my problem.  I had checked, in the Apple Preferences folder, internet share.  I unchecked it and everything performed like before.  Thanks, self.

  • OS X Server, Internal DNS and Apple Airport Extreme

    OK,
    There must be a way to do this. I cannot believe that this simplist of functions to a Wireless Router would have been missed off the new range of Airport devices.
    I have an OS X Server, serving DNS internally and forwarding lookups to the Airport which forwards on externally.
    Trouble is I want the Airport to connect to PPPoE and serve the guest network with DHCP and DNS but let my server do DNS on the internal network.
    Why is there not a simple box in setup utility that says "use this DNS server on the local DHCP network" or something a long theose lines. It seems mad that Apple have overlooked this, I can only say I am missing something.
    I have tried setting up a small range and putting in reservations but this limits your guest network to the same limited range so you end up with only room for two or three guests, this solution won't work for me.
    It seems stupid to put the ApE into Bridge mode as I can then not have a guest network and I shouldn't have to have two boxes to acheive what I am looking for.
    Rant over, any other help or solutions appreciated.
    Regards to all

    @MrHoffman
    Agreed, the Guest network will not have access to the local range. I missed that part.
    In my setup, the second DNS is google server because i don't want the internet to stop working if the local server is not operational, this way at least Internet will be available.
    - Client contacts Primary DNS, If it fails to reach it, it will go to the secondary. Well, to be more accurate, the OS will choose the fastest DNS server it can reach first. Ideally that would be the local server.
    In a normal day when everyting is up and running:
    - Client contacts the Primary DNS (OSX Server DNS), if the query is a local DNS record , it will serve the IP.
    - If the query is not a local record, it will send it to the forwarder DNS server defined in the DNS service (ISP DNS or Google DNS)
    For the guest network, It would be worth checking to do the following:
    - Add a second Wifi network interface on the server and connect it to the guest network IP address.
    - On the AirPort Extreme, put the Guest network IP address of the OSX Server in the secondary DNS field.
    In this case the guest clients will always try to reach the local network DNS first and then failover to the guest network IP of the DNS server.
    @piperspace
    Well, a home router is already working as a local DNS server that tries to resolve locally then forwards to an external DNS server when it cannot resolve the name.
    Primary and secondary in an enterprise space will surely be a main and a backup and both contain the same name spaces. But the point here was about home use and therefore the purpose will be a backup DNS server for the internet at least.

  • IMac with cable modem and apple AirPort Extreme base station

    AirPort Extreme setup 2 weeks ago and workred fine. Then upgrade to lion 10.8.3 started problem.  Computer shows no Internet ( yellow light) for "Internet" but green light on AX.  Cable modem actually shows connection to Internet at gigabit speed.  Wireless ipad works fine.  Computer will not access Internet either wireless or thru Ethernet.  Must be a setting I am missing somewhere?

    Solved my problem.  I had checked, in the Apple Preferences folder, internet share.  I unchecked it and everything performed like before.  Thanks, self.

  • How do I set up a wireless network with an AirPort Extreme base station and two airport extreme but between apple devices either by ethernet

  • Apple Airport Extreme Base Station for PPPoE, DHCP and NAT with ActionTec DSL modem

    I just spent several hours trying to track down proper instructions for setting up my Apple AEBS to do the PPPoE, DHCP and NAT while connected to an ActionTec M1000 (no wireless module).  It turns out my initial set ups on both devices were correct, but that the order for rebooting and reconnecting the two devices is critical.  All of the threads I found on this forum and on many others suggested this was not possible, but it is.  What I don't yet know is whether it is the best method for running my home network DSL connection to my ISP (CenturyLink). 
    The instructions I found that worked come courtesy of Brandon Konkle's blog and are both simple and clear:  http://brandon.konkle.us/post/19637529637/centurylink-actiontec-q1000-airport-ex treme-bridge
    The proper settings for the ActionTec DSL Modem can be found under Advanced Setup/IP Adressing/WAN IP Address
    Click RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging then click on Apply.
    (see also http://qwest.centurylink.com/internethelp/modems/m1000/pdf/M1000_BRIDGE.pdf )
    To reduce time, do this BEFORE you reset your AEBS then set the AEBS so that you don't have to wait for the AEBS to reboot. 
    In contrast to what Brandon described for the Q1000 modem, my AEBS never reconnected to the modem (he describes his as getting an IP from his ISP, then dropping it then getting another over and over - mine never got an IP).  Once you have reset both devices as described, the critical steps I have not found described elsewhere were:
    1.  Disconnect the power from both the modem and the Airport Extreme.
    2.  Disconnect the Ethernet cable between the two devices
    3.  Restore power to the 2 devices and allow them to fully reboot.  For the ActionTec M1000, this is indicated when the lights stop blinking.  (Note that the Internet light will NOT be lit in this instance since the modem is acting only as a bridge.  You will NOT have an Internet connection until the AEBS is reconnected.)  The AEBS will be blinking yellow.
    4.  Reconnect the Ethernet cable between the devices (make sure on the M1000 that you are using the connector with the circle icon over it, not the arrow icon).
    Within about 60 seconds, the AEBS light went to steady green and the connection to the Internet was restored.
    Now I have to see if this is a more stable configuration than the flaky one I had before while using the AEBS as a bridge and the M1000 to do everything. 
    Does anyone think or know if it will make a difference?

    No one can accurately predict in advance what the actual results might be. I've tried both ways with different products and cannot say that one method is better than the other.  What works is best.
    In theory, it is preferable to have the modem provide the PPPoE connection service since it is the device connected directly to the Internet.
    In practice, results vary depending on the service provider, products used, phase of the moon, alignment of the planets, etc.

  • If I buy an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station and I have an Optus Cable internet. Do I really need an Apple Care Protection? or I don't have to?

    Hi I'm from Australia.
    If I buy an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station and I have an Optus Cable internet. Do I really need an Apple Care Protection? or I don't have to?

    Any specific recommendations for a standalone ADSL modem though?
    Always a good idea to use the modem that your service provider supplies or recommends....often free....since you know that it will be supported in the event of connection difficulties.
    I have made the mistake of choosing the "best" modem based on test reports....only to find out later that the ISP would not offer any support when I was having connection difficulties.
    The ISP blamed the modem. The modem support folks blamed the ISP.

  • HT3546 So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou! :)

    So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou!

    Welcome!
    Last question first, as we need to know what operating system that the Mac is using.
    If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
    Two possible solutions on the power cord
    ORIGINAL OEM APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION POWER SUPPLY AC ADAPTER A1202 if you want a white power supply and white power cord to match up with the Apple device
    AC adapter for Apple AirPort A1034 Extreme B... if you don't care what color the supply and cord might be
    If you don't already have a Setup Guide.....look here:

    Bought an Apple Airport Extreme used and it did not come with any discs. Do i need any discs? or is there another way to setup this airport without using a software disc?

    You can download the setup manual and software that you need.
    Look on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme for the Model Number.  It's A.......  something.
    Post back with the model number and the exact operating system you are running on your Mac or PC.

  • Creating my home network, Apple Airport Extreme & Sky

    Hello all,
    Hoping somebody can help, I’m attempting to set up a network in my home that works a bit like this.
    Ok, we’ve had sky broadband for a few months now and have the new grey Sagem router to go with it. I also have the new Apple Airport Extreme station (and an Oldish BTHomehub v1.5, the white one… just kicking about incase its useful!)
    What I want to achieve is use Time Machine on my Macbook Pro to wirelessly backup over the network to a Hard Drive plugged into the AE. I want the AE to be upstairs away from the sky router and I also want to be able to plug Ethernet devices into the AE to use the internet (somehow acquired from the router downstairs I assume) like an Xbox, laptop or anything else I might need really).
    *Its important to me that the AE isn’t downstairs in the same room as the router, otherwise I would just connect it with a cable and create a wireless network from that.
    On top of that (stay with me….) if the AE has the functionality to extend the wireless network further to hit the low signal spots that would help.
    I’ve been reading around the internet and various support sites. I know a little about this stuff but I’m not an expert on networking, I know nothing about the different signals N, g, b etc or how IP assigning works. I read a little about WDS networking but I’m not sure which direction to head.
    This is probably the closest thing I’ve found to what I’m talking about, If the bottom hub was the sky router and the top hub was the Apple AE.
    http://www.jarviser.co.uk/jarviser/repeaterhubs.html
    Appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

    The best way by far is to run ethernet as a kind of backbone between the two stories.. on one storey setup the AE and the other you setup the TC.
    I have no idea if one is the main router or not.. or both are bridged.. that doesn't really matter.. the principle is.. one router per network. So whichever is not the main router change to bridge mode.
    Both should create a wireless network. You can use roaming setup, where both use identical names and identical security. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260

  • SETTING UP HP 8600 TO APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME

    I recently purchased an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.  Everything setup perfectly until I took on the task of connecting my HP 8600 All in One printer.  I am hopelessly lost especially when it asked  for a WEP or WPA key.  Can anyone help or send me to the right place.

    Will you be connecting this printer to the AirPort Extreme's USB port or via a wireless connection? I am assuming the latter since you ran aground on the WEP or WPA key question. These are types of wireless security passwords. These would be the same that you would use to connect a wireless computer to your network.
    Typically, you would use the printer's front-panel interface to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network. You want to use the default setting of the printer being a DHCP client so that it gets its appropriate IP addresses from your AirPort router. You should just need to enter the Wi-Fi network name and password into the panel settings in order for the printer to connect.

  • I have a BT home Hub 3 with standard BT broadband(no infinity), how do I set up an Apple AirPort Extreme without a stand alone modem? Can I use my current Home Hub

    I want to use an Apple AirPort Extreme as my home router but at present I have standard BT broadband using the BT Home hub 3. Can I connect them in some way so I don't need to buy a stand alone modem.
    IS THIS POSSIBLE???
    1. Would Apple AirPort Express be better and easier?
    2. What modem would be suitable if I can't do it any other way?
    I AM CURRENTLY USING MY INTERNET WITH PS3,WINDOWS 7 LAPTOP, IPAD AND IPHONE!!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    You said that you wanted the layout to look like this:
    AT&T 2WIRE Router (wireless off) ---> AirPort Extreme ---> NetGear 16-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch ---> ethernet cabling to ports in most rooms --->
    So, we took that at face value....,.but it could look like this if things are more convenient this way, if you prefer:
    AT&T 2WIRE  > Ethernet Switch > AirPort Extreme and other devices.
    - If we include an AirPort Extreme in the overall network setup, are there any potential issues with the 2WIRE router and the AirPort Extreme router "competing" with one another?
    No, if you leave the wireless function off on the 2WIRE.  If you do want the utilize the wireless on the 2WIRE and the AirPort Extreme, then you want to keep them physically separated by 6-8 feet, or a few meters.
    - Do I really need an AirPort Extreme in the final setup?
    No, if the AirPort Express will provide enough range for the network.
    Or if I just want an extra WAP, can I operate two AirPort Express units (with the same SSID) downstream of a 2WIRE router?
    Yes, if both of them are configured to operate in Bridge Mode.  If you are using the "wizard" setup utility in AirPort Utility 6.x, the wizard will do this for you automatically.
    That is to say, could we have a setup that looks just like the image above, but with an extra AirPort Express tacked on to one of the unused ethernet ports?
    You can have as many AirPort Express devices (or AirPort Extreme devices) as you want, as long as each has an Ethernet connection back to the switch.

  • HT1218 After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
    Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
    As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
    Is there a way to resolve this issue?

  • Trying to get my air video app and my airport extreme router to work.

    Hi there. I am getting really frustrated and desperate. I just purchased the app "air video" on my iPad. Installed the software on my mac. Works awesome when I'm on MY WIRELESS NETWORK. I didn't think it would be an issue once I left the house and tried to go on someone else's network to connect, but it just won't work. It keeps giving me the error "host not reachable". I tried opening up the air video troubleshooting info and tried everything but nothing seems to work. I tried under the "remote" tab in the air video server preferences. I clicked both "enable access from Internet" and the "auto map port" options. In the box below I just see the word status and the spinning wheel along with "looking for UPnP or NAT-PMP compatible devices" but the wheel has been spinning for about 15 mins. It doesnt appear to be finding anything.
    I've also clicked off the "auto map port" to see if that would do anything. I got the pin and tried that. Still nothing. I tried to look for some information on port forwarding for my airport extreme but everything I'm googleing seems to be years out of date.
    I am currently on Mac snow leopard 10.6.3 I believe. Everything is latest version. Using comcast modem with apple airport extreme router. Latest version of Air video app and software. On iOS 4.3.1.
    Anyone that can try to help me out, I would be eternally grateful.
    Thank you so much

  • What is voltage power block at Apple Airport Extreme?

    What is voltage power block at Apple Airport Extreme? 110 or 220 Volt. Or both type support.

    The AirPort Extreme will operate on 100-240 Volts and 50-60 Hz, so it will work just about anywhere in the world if you have the right adapter for the wall jack.
    The outboard power supply provides 12 Volts to the AirPort Extreme at about 2 Amps.
