Airport extreme has to connect to internet if computer goes to screen saver. Any way around this?

Describe the issue in more detail.. as it doesn't currently make sense.. the AE should always be connected to the internet. It should never disconnect.. but the computer can fail to connect to wireless after sleep.. that is common problem.
See Tesserax docos if you have wireless connect issues after sleep.

Roadrunner Cable Modem + Airport Extreme = limited internet :(

I am having trouble gaining full internet access with my Time Warner (Roadrunner) cable modem. They use DHCP to configure TCP/IP, and I need a publicly visible static ip. I have tried many different things to get this to work, but so far nothing. Anyone know how (or if) I can get this to work?
Would be very helpful to know what Roadrunner SoCal limits with their residential service. I cannot find this on their website, and the rep I spoke with said they block nothing. I'm not sure if this is true.

The problem is that the airport extreme is "in front of" your computer. So that when Internet services (like BitTorrent) try to connect to your machine (which is expecting them), they hit the Airport first, (which is NOT expecting them)... since it doesn't know what to do with them, it throws them away.
So I know you go on to explain how to let this traffic through, but should I place the airport in front of the modem (I dont even know if this is possible)
The reason why things like WWW work, is because the Airport isn't completely brain-dead. It knows how to "follow a conversation" and it essentially eaves-drops to all outgoing connections from your computer. If your computer deliberately asks for a response, then the Airport extreme "knows enough" to send the expected response back down to your computer. This magic all happens automatically for things like your email, web, ftp, etc.etc... because these services all follow a "back-and-forth" communication model.
The problem with protocols like BitTorrent (or running your OWN webserver for example) means that, you never know who is going to come knocking. It's not that the Airport is denying these "visitors" so much as, it wasn't told that anyone was coming.
To fix the problem you need to tell the Aiport extreme to roll out the welcome mat, and also... you need to the the Airport *where to send these visitors* That is what you do with the NAT port maps. This is how you tell the airport, when somebody comes and knocks on this door, send them to my PC. (Not, my laptop, or my iPhone, or my printer, or anything else that may be on the network: send them to my PC) After all, it is the PC that would be running BitTorrent, or Unreal, or a webserver, or ICQ, or what-have-you...
So now all you have to do is find out the IP of the machine you want to send the traffic to, and then you need to find out what PORTS that traffic arrives on.
For example... if you wanted to run a webserver on your home machine at internal ip: 10.10.10.2; then you would tell the Airport to route all incoming traffic on port 80 (the HTTP port) to internal address 10.10.10.2 (your PC). And that's it.
It has been my experience that BitTorrent uses the following ports:
tcp 13405
udp 13405
tcp 6881-6999
udp 6881-6999
TCP and UDP are two different flavors of internet traffic, and there is a section in the NAT redirections that allow for each... make sure you place them in the proper places.
Hope that helps. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll email you a screenshot of what the config page should look like.
I had already set things up this way ... and it does work, sort of. But I find that in some cases a mere 25% of my attempts to communicate out/back succeed. So I would love to take you up on the offer to send screenshots. Thank you so much for all the help!

Need expert cable modem airport extreme advice

I have been on hold with Comcast for an hour and so far no end in site. So I thought maybe someone here might be able to help me.
Because of Comcast's recent decision to cap bandwidth to 250GB a month I moved up to their Business Class high speed internet service that have NO bandwidth cap. I also get 16MB Down and 2MB Up for just $20 a month more, but the no limit on bandwidth sold me.
Anyway, they installed the new modem today while I was away, and when I returned home I saw that my Airport Utility was reporting a "Double NAT" error. Airport recommended changing the unit to "Bridge mode" (I also have two other base stations in the house), which corrected the Amber light, Double NAT error, but while I can connect to the net I am getting slower speeds.
Speakeasy.net is showing me that IF I use Bridge Mode I will average 8-10MB Down, and 1-1.5MB Up, but if I allow the Double NAT error by using "sharing a single IP" address I get an average of 15-20MB Down and 2-2.5MB Up.
Bridge Mode doesn't affect the other two units on my network, and while 8-10MB Down is still quite fast, the 15-20MB is a quite a bit faster.
So my question is this: Does the Business Class modem serve its own DHCP/NAT and if I set my Airport to "Share a single IP" it is redundant? Are both the cable modem and the Airport attempting to use DHCP/NAT and that is what causes the error? Lastly, is there a real reason for using Bridge Mode instead of "share a single IP", with respect to security, stability, or anything else? Does it really matter which one I use as long as I am able to use the net on my computers?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide. And yes, I am STILL on hold

I was in uk and facetime worked perfectly on my mac pro.. but now in dubai i cant connect with anyone from uk, is there any way around this?? Please help!

I bought my macbook pro from England a week ago.. especially for its facetime feature so that i can keep in touch with friends from england. I just got to dubai now and have been trying to connect through facetime with my friends and I have tried over and over again for the whole day now, but I've failed. Please help me with this as I desperately need to fix this problem. I would really appreciate it if anyone has any ideas to help me get around this. I also read posts and blogs which say facetime for iphone4 is blocked in the middle east but does that apply for macbook's as well?? If so, can i contact an apple store or service provider to get my facetime to work???
Thanks alot.. awaiting for responses.

Cant connect to internet after computer goes to sleep mode.

Everytime my computer goes into sleep mode it wont let me connect back to safari. It shows im connected but wont connect. Can anyone help me?

Hi there. I have the same sort of problem with my MacBook. To get the internet working again I have to restart the system. Sometimes the same sort of thing (shows I'm connected but doesn't really connect) happens when I'm in the middle of using the internet. I've posted a topic ("Problem with AirPort?") about this also and I've gotten a few responses already. Maybe one of them can help you out (no luck for me so far though).

Creative Cloud Apps don't ever work without constant web connection. Is there any way around this?

Hello,
I've been on a CS6 cloud membership since about the time it launched and it's been very useful since I use some apps almost everyday for working. I've started to travel a lot more, though, and I bring my laptop to edit video while on trains and planes and it seems everytime I open Premiere after being away from an internet connection for barely an hour it won't open because it wants in internet connection. Everything I've seen around the help things says this isn't necessary all that often but it's happened for months now every time I travel and forget that I need internet to use it. It's extremely frustrating. I opened a new office and didn't have internet for two weeks and had clients waiting on projects while my paid subscription is useless. What am I missing? I understand the need for verification but it's ridiculous that I can't use anything while I travel. (If Premiere does open sometimes it's stripped down like the basic version with no real HD options until theres a connection). If it's an online only system, say that. All the literature here says it only needs verification now and again but I'm crippled on the road and it's infuriating. I've had to revert to FCP on the road which I hate but if I start travelling more I may just have to get used to Final Cut X again. Please help or clarify this, anyone.
Macpro, macbook pro
mountain Lion, CS6

I'm usually at a connection so it's only once I'm on the road that I see it happen this way so I'll have to mess with it all when I'm not at one again. I guess I need to be online to create in admin acct, probably, not really sure what you mean by that, but I'll look into it. I'm not using any special software that I know of that should conflict with it. This is with both my machines one a 2008 macpro and the other a 2011 macbookpro, just running regular OS as far as I know. I'll have to actively test it soon again. Do you mean an admin acct of my adobe id sign in or something just within Premiere?

I upgraded my wife's iMac to Mountain Lion. When I try to set up her cloud connection to sync with her iPad and iPhone, it says it is sending a verification email, but it never arrives. Any way around this. Her phone and iPad seem to already be in sync .

When I try to set up my wife's Cloud account after upgrading to Mountain Lion, I click on the "send verification email" box, but the email never arrives. Her iPad and iPhone already seem to sync up in the Cloud, but no storage is being used. Any suggestions on how to get the account on her iMac?

New cable modem, airport has green status, still NO internet connection??

Airport extreme worked amazing with macbook for 8 months! One day my cable modem was no longer working. Had internet provider come and install a new modem.
The new modem now works, and cable provider assured internet worked through a direct ethernet connection to macbook. However when I reset up the airport I can not access internet.
All modem lights are working properly and airport has green light. I am linked to my network.
I have troubleshooted with applecare 3 times with no success. They sent me to the mac store, the store checked both my macbook and airport. Said they are working properly.
Came home and did all the resets of both modem and airport. No success! Applecare says everything matches up, internet provider says everything matches up. But I can still not access internet with airport.

Your cable modem needs a complete reset to clear its memory.
Power it down for at least 30 minutes (Some ISPs will take longer for their equipment to reset) and pull the battery in it if it is easily accessible. Power down everything else in your network as well.
Start the modem first and let it run 4-5 minutes alone, then start the router for a few minutes and then start your computers.
If no luck, power down the modem for 2 hours and try the procedure again.
Please post back on your results.

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this?

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this? We're running two Macs wirelessly with no problems. And the Wii did connect before the switch.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I gave this a try, turned off Airport on one of the computers and tried the Wii again. Still no connection. I should say that we're also running an old G4 (wired) off the Airport as well, with no problems. I've tried many things to make the Wii to work, including power cycling the Airport, turning off the security settings in the Airport, resetting the Airport to it's default and redoing the network, resetting the network setting on the Wii (several times), moved the Airport closer to the Wii, all with no luck. The Wii "sees" the Airport but won't connect to it. I'm at a loss for anything else to try, so any help is appreciated.

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.
http://www.avenard.org/iptv/Setup.html
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.

Since the Airport Extreme has a type of WPS

Since the Airport Extreme has a type of WPS (clients can connect with a PIN instead of password), it would be good to have a statement from Apple that it is or is not subject to the same recent successful attack on WPS as other home office wireless access points. http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/723755

Yes, if you plan to extend using wireless only and you use it with another Apple wireless router....an AirPort Express, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Extreme.
The AirPort Extreme will need to be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the "main" AirPort, as the "extender" can only extend the quality of signal that it receives.

Are we able to use the AirPort Extreme has a wifi extender
