Manual Static LAN IP address for 802.11n Base Station when using PPPoE

We have a network of about 75 machines. We want to replace our main router with the new Airport Extreme 802.11n base station. WAN connection is PPPoE so we'd use the NAT function. All IP addresses of our machines on the LAN are statically assigned.
Problem is our machines are assigned to find the router at a specific address: 192.168.0.254. The default base station IP in that subnet is 192.168.0.1. Is there any way to change the IP of the base station to 192.168.0.254 from the default of 192.168.0.1? We can do it if we have it join our existing LAN in bridge mode, but we want it to provide the main NAT functions AND connect to our ISP's PPPoE server WITHOUT having to change all our LAN devices to find it at 192.168.0.1. Possible?

The HH will only show devices which use DHCP in the list of devices, unless you've set the device to use a static IP in the HH Home Network page. It's a bit of a silly idea and IMO the software on the router is terrible, but you do it like this...
- Set the printer to use DHCP to get an IP address.
- Log in to the HomeHub 5 and browse to the Home Network page (http://192.168.1.254/index.cgi?active_page=9130)
- Find the printer in the list of devices and click on it.
- Click on 'Yes' next to the "Always use this IP address" option.
- Set the IP address on the printer statically and update your devices to use the new IP address of the printer (if it changed from what it was before).
That will ensure that the DHCP server in the HH5 doesn't lease the same IP to another device. This will also allow you to see the printer in the list of devices.

AC Adapter for 802.11n Base Station.

Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement AC adapter for a 802.11n Base Station?

Yes and they don't sell it separately.

Is my AirPort Extreme (802.11n) Base Station defective?

I'm trying to set up a wireless network with my new AirPort Extreme (802.11n) Base Station. I dismanteld my existing network that consisted of an old model AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express. I can't seem to get anything to work properly with the new hardware. I have a G4 Quicksilver that uses an AirPort card. Is that the issue? I thought they were compatible. I was not able to update the Setup Utility because I don't have an Intel Mac. Still, that shouldn't prevent me from doing an initial setup. I'm thinking perhaps the unit is defective. I've been working on this several hours a day for almost a week. This is the most trouble (by far) that I've ever had with any Apple product. I'm really disappointed. I suspect the hardware is defective, but based on all of the issues I've read about in this forum, I think it could just be reflective of the poor overall quality of the new AirPort Extreme. What a let down.

What is the exact name of the application you are using to configure the airport?
You should be using "AirPort Utility"
It is a Universal application, so it should work on both a PPC and Intel mac.
As for the update, if you can't download it via software update, you most likely do not need it.
The quicksilver only has an Airport card:
http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMac_G4_Quicksilver2002.html
That means that you will need to configure the airport extreme N to operate in the 2.4 GHz range. You will need to tell it that it needs to be compatible with 802.11b
There is probably an option for 802.11 b/g/n compatibility.
Are you going to still use your airport express? you could either use WDS to extend your wireless network without connecting the two airport base stations with an ethernet cable... or you could connect them together with an ethernet cable and configure the same network name and use two different channels (only use 1, 6, or 11). If you extend a network, they both need to use the same channel.
If the quicksilver is the only machine on your network, it will not be any faster.
Actually, you could make things faster, now that I think about it... I am guessing that your quicksilver is not located near your airport extreme. If I am wrong, just ignore this...
You could use one of your airports as your main base station, connected to your cable modem/dsl whatever... then you connect the other airports ethernet to your quicksilver. you then turn off the airport card in your quicksilver and set up the airport connected to your computer to use WDS and connect to the other airport using 802.11g.
You now have gone from an 11 mbps max (5 mbps real world) connection to a real world 30-40 mbps link.
Other options would be to look for 802.11g or 802.11n usb adapters for the quicksilver... I am not sure what is mac compatible out there, since it is probably a small market since it is built in to all new macs.
Good luck

Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station blocking RealPlayer 11 completely

I am trying to play this radio station (just a brasillian sports channel) on RealPlayer 11:
rtsp://real.rbsonline.com.br/liverbs/*/broadcast/rdgaucha/gaucha.rm
Which is completely blocked on my Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station with the latest firmware update.
It even blocks when RealPlayer is configured for HTTP only.
I am using it on my iMac which is connected directly via a ethernet cable instead of wifi to the Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station.
RealPlayer can play it fine when I plug my iMac directly to the cable modem so it proves is the router. I never had RealPlayer issues before when I was using a linksys router.
It does really feel like Apple put an intentional block on RealPlayer to stop competition.
Anyone seen this issue? Guess it is related with the BBC RealPlayer issue.

Fixed myself, problem was because I setup OpenDNS on base station, removed it now works

No longer seeing 802.11n base station

Hi,
I have a two-week old 17" MBP. I just reinstalled OS X (10.4.8 w/ all the latest updates) and I can no longer see my Airport Extreme base station when it is in "n only" mode.
I have reinstalled the "AirPortExtremeUpdate2007001.dmg" update a few times to no avail.
What do I have to do to re-enable the 802.11n functionality of the Airport Extreme card in my MBP?
Thanks!

You might need to reinstall the N enabler which was on the CD that came with the base station. To see if you do go to
Applications --> Utilites --> Network Utility. Select the interface for the wireless and on the bottom it will say a/b/g/n. If it doesn't have the N on the end, then you need to reinstall.
If you already have the n there then you probably need to reset your base station

Extending a network with two AEBSn 802.11n base stations

Problem: Laptop on remote Airport Extreme (n) doesn't get internet, but can see entire network.
I have set up 2 new Airport Extreme's (n). One is connected to the cable modem and set to "create wireless network" and "Share a public IP address" . The other is about 80-100 feet away and set to extend the network.
A PowerBook G4 is connected to the remote Airport Extreme and gets an IP address correctly, and can connect to a computer on the primary Airport Extreme. Transfer rates from the remote laptop to a computer on the primary Airport Extreme are strong (15-30 Mbit).
According to the Airport utility, link speed between the two Airport Extreme's fluctuates between 104 and 130 Mbit.
The problem is that the computer connected to the remote Airport Extreme can't get out to the internet. Computers connected to the primary Airport Extreme get a very fast connection to the internet. What am I doing wrong?

I followed the exact instructions above with one AEBSn connected to the DSL modem and "creating the wireless network", and a second AEBSn "extending the network". Depending on the location (1st or 3rd floor), my PowerBook G4 connects perfectly to the AEBSn with the stronger signal.

Can I Use 802.11n Base Station and 802.11n AirPort Express in an 802.11 ac Time Capsule Main Base Station WDS Network?

I havea "wirelessly challenged" 2-story home and need to extend the range. Currently I have an 802.11n Main Base Station with an 802.11n Airport Express Remote. It's not getting the job done (upstairs connection is weak).
I am considering getting an 802.11ac Airport Time Capsule to help, even though I currently only have devices with 802.11n wireless connectivity (future-proof a little).
I an planning on setting up a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Network:
1.) Setting up the Time Capsule as the Main Base Station connected to a Cable modem
2.) Reconfiguring and Setting up the current AirPort Extreme 802.11n as a Relay Base Station
3.) Reconfiguring and Setting up the current AirPort Express 802.11n as a Remote Station
I cannot "hard wire" one Base Statio to the other.
Will this work?

Will this work?
Unfortunately, no. WDS is a older, very inefficient way to extend the wireless network signal.
As such, newer operating systems like Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks do not even offer settings for this older WDS type of network.
In addition, the new Time Capsule has no capabilities to use WDS settings at all, even if you used a Mac with another operating system to try to set things up.
Even if it were possible to set up a WDS network, the speed on the network would be incredibly slow. As you know, WDS only operates at "g" wireless speed levels. Each "relay" or "remote" that you add to the network each cuts that bandwidth or speed in half.
With a WDS "main", "relay" and "remote", the network would be operating at about 14 Mbps......a tiny fraction of what the devices would be capable of providing normally.

Tablet won't connect with static LAN IP address

Today I updated my Xperia tablet (model SGP311) to Android 4.4.2 (kernel version 3.4.0-perf-g32ce454).
My tablet no longer connects to my home wi-fi network if I assign it a static LAN IP address. It connects fine if I use DHCP. But I prefer to assign my devices static IP addresses when possible.
I have tried forgetting and re-connecting to my LAN several times without success. The static IP address worked fine until today's update.
Any ideas?

I tried that already, too! New development...I have the same problem in my office now. So, clearly, it is a problem with my iTouch. It recognizes the networks, won't connect, and when I go into look at the network, there is not data (IP address, etc.) It's just blank. HELP!
You could try restoring the S/W on your iPod Touch. If that doesn't work you may need to talk to Apple about repair.

What to do with old 802.11g base station?

Hi. I've upgraded to the 802.11n base station and I was hoping to use my old one (the dome) to connect a remote printer, but Airport Utility doesn't recognise it.
Any suggestions welcome, thanks, pmarkoni

Hi Duane, thanks for your welcome and for your suggestions.
I've tried the hard reset, yes. I think maybe it wants to be the boss, or nothing. I also have a dead Airport Express, so maybe it's just me! It flashes amber forever, and it used to support a printer. I also have another AE which I use for AirTunes to my Logitech speakers, and that works fine, but that AE is right next to my Mac,so what's the point? If I connect the same plug to my Mac's speaker port nothing happens.
Any more help appreciated! Thanks again, pmarkoni.

After 10.6.8 upgrade, MacBook PRO doesn't acquire IP address via 802.11n wireless connection

After upgrading a MacBook Pro to 10.6.8, the machine connects to an 802.11n wireless access point, but will not acquire an IP address using DHCP. An iMac running 10.6.7, and an iPad2 both successfully connect and acquire DHCP IP addresses to the same access point. The access point is an HP Procurve MSM422 access point, a commercial data center level access point.
The MacBook Pro did acquire a connection and IP address when running 10.6.7, so this seems to be a regression introduced with the upgrade to 10.6.8.
The MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 will acquire an 802.11g connection to the same access point without any problems. The access point has different SSIDs for 802.11n and 802.11g.
Changing the IP settings on the MacBook Pro from DHCP to a fixed IP address doesn't solve the problem.
Just wanted to document this situation for those following problems with migration to 10.6.8.
If anyone uncovers the reason and has a work around for this situation, please share. I'll keep looking, too. I plan to do a combo install of 10.6.8 later today to see if this remedies the situation.

Deleting and recreating the AirPort connection doesn't help this problem. Neither does turning the AirPort on/then off, going from DHCP to FIXED IP addresses, or repairing permissions. I even upgraded the firmware in the HP MSM422 access point from 5.4.29 to 5.5.1 and that didn't make any difference, either.
Using the combo installer to reinstall 10.6.8 did fix the problem.

HT4259 I have an 802.11n base and extender and still cannot get a good signal 80-90 ft away . Why?

I have an 802.11n base and extender and still cannot get a good signal 80-90 ft away . Why?

Hardwire is always recommended because there is virtually no signal loss in a wire....at least up to 300 feet or so.
Another advantage of using Ethernet cable...if you can...is that you can locate the AirPort Express where it is most needed.
If it extends using wireless only, it pretty much needs to be located about half the distance from the main router and the general area that needs more coverage.
I like to use WiFi Explorer since it displays SNR (Signal to Noise) readings, which are the best way to evaluate signal quality.
Mac App Store - WiFi Explorer
If the signal is varying constantly, something is causing it to do so....assuming that the AirPorts are functioning correctly.
Cordless phones are a huge problem for wireless networks. You want to try to figure out if the phones are causing a problem as a first troubleshooting step.
That is why I suggested that you turn off the phones for an hour or two and watch the network to see how it behaves. If the signal stops fluctuating....that is a good clue that the phones are interfering with the wireless signal.

Using the WAN port as a "LAN" port on the Airport Extreme Base Station...

Hi everyone,
I'm re-building my home wireless network and I'm doing so in preparation for the Slingbox AV I ordered last week. Here's my current setup:
I have a DSL modem attached to an Airport Express (802.11n) in my office broadcasting my internet signal. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11g) set up in my living room as a WDS extender. I currently use the base station in my living room to connect the DishNetwork ViP722 DVR to the internet and allow me to set recordings remotely on my iPhone when I'm away from home. I use the LAN port on the base station to do this, and now with the Slingbox on the way (should be here early next week), I'm wondering what I need to do to make an internet connection available for the Slingbox AV.
My question: Will I be able to simply use the WAN port as a "LAN" port since the Airport Extreme Base Station is being used as a WDS? It'd be awesome if the WAN port would become, essentially, a LAN port since it isn't being used.
Thanks in advance for your advice and insight!

I'd be surprised if that worked. The operation of an AirPort base station depends on keeping the WAN port and the LAN port(s) separate, as those normally are on two different networks.
You might consider buying an Ethernet hub or switch, which would allow your AirPort Extreme's LAN port to be shared. Here's an example of an inexpensive one:

Prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters

Post Author: Co3023
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
How do I stop CR XI prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters. When no dynamic parameters are used CR XI isn't prompting for the DB user name and password. The report is run from an application which passes the user name and password. I am using Oracle and the problem is both with the native oracle driver and the ODBC RDO driver.

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I didnt ask you to change it to static I said I took the parameters totally out of the report. Saved it. Then re-enter the dynamic parameters into the report and it worked for me. That might have worked for you, not sure why you changed it to static.
Ok I have just created a quick report using dynamic parameters, it didnt ask me for the username password.
Can you create a sample report - just to test the db? and see if it works? add only 1 or 2 fields in the report, create parameters (dynamic) and see if it works
why don't you embed the username and password in your application, it won't ask for username password then.

CDPOS for the moving avenge price when using MIRO, MIGO & VL31N etc.

Hi
Is there a way of tracking all changes with CDPOS for the moving avenge price when using MIRO, MIGO & VL31N etc.
We can show changes for MR21 in CDPOS but we need to reflect all changes made to the moving avenge price for MIRO, MIGO & VL31N etc. We need to run a report that will show all these changes.
We run a report to look at all the change records for Moving Avenge Price, We use tables CDPOS & CDHDR, then Change the document Object for both tables to material, so when the report is run you can identify the material by the object value field
u201CIf you look at CDPOS the fields where reading the data from in the u201CNew Value fieldu201D is CDFLDVALN when I do an F1u201D
u201CIf you now check MBEW on the u201CMoving Avenge Price fieldu201D, the data reads from VERPR which is the field we need to reflect the changes. If we can change this then the report will worku201D
Can you help please?

Hello Jürgen,
Thank you for your quick reply. I read the note -- it describes the symptom perfectly, and gives example cases which match our situation. However, no solution or recommendation is given. Does it mean that this way of valuating cancellations is not seen as a malfunction, and cannot be changed?
Thanks in advance.

Define static IP for both LAN and W-LAN devices with an Airport Extreme Base Station

Hey guys,
I have a lot of different devices connected to my Airport Extreme Base Station (5th Gen) either wirelessly or via ethernet cable. Since I control some of them via VNC and currently have to find the corresponding IP-addresses through trial-and-error, I'd like to define static IP-addresses for the computers in question. My network consists of a cable modem connected to a TP-Link WR1043ND router in the basement, from which an ethernet cable leads to the WAN-port of the aforementioned Airport Extreme Base Station on the 2nd floor. Two of the devices I want to remote-access are wired to a D-Link DES-1005D switch, which in turn is connected to the 1st ethernet port of the Airport Base Station. The remaining 3 remote clients are connected over 802.11n. All computers run Windows.
My problem now is that even though I was able to define static IP-addresses employing the "DHCP only" router mode, this didn't seem to work for the two computers connected via ethernet. Not only did I lose any internet connectivity with those, I even lost the ability to remote-connect to them using the VNC-viewer.
The question now is: how do I specify static IP-addresses for my ethernet devices correctly?
I hope you can help me.

If you read the information in the other post, my answer would be the same here.
The Router Mode of DHCP Only is rarely used, and would only really be appropriate if your ISP was providing you with a fixed bank of multiple fixed or static IP addresses to use. This does not appear to be the case in your post.
If this were the case, the first IP address would be used as a Static IP address for your connection, and other devices on your network would receive the other fixed IP addresses.
99%+ of the time, you would use the Router Mode setting of DHCP and NAT on a network when you want the AirPort to perform as the main router for the network.
But......your post also indicates that you have another router upstream on your network from the AirPort Extreme. You would not want to run two routers in series on a network. That explains the problems that you are having.
The AirPort Extreme needs to be configured in Bridge Mode. It cannot be the "main" router on your network when you already have another router on the network. That is a fundamental networking rule.
