Q: Y-Cam and AIrport Extreme
Hi
I have a Y-Cam SD Black running firmware 4.50 which is the latest and last updated in 2014. I am based in the UK
My network is Virgin Superhub 2 used in modem mode connected to a new AEBS ac which is in DHCP & NAT mode. I have then got a further AEBS ac (set up as create wireless network) rather than extend wireless network to protect as signal. I am running the latest version of Airport Utility and OSX.
I have configured the y-cam so I can connect internally to my network (switched the IP address etc so rather than 192.... It's now 10..... Etc.
Problem is I cannot access this from my iPhone when away from home. I am entering my external IP address and relevant port but nothing is happening. I have tried to port forward from the AEBS but this has no impact. I have checked my Superhub which does do port forwarding but this is not selectable as its in modem mode.
Anyone have any ideas?
Mac Pro (Mid 2010), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

Thanks for the updates.
Your first AEBS will require port mapping to be configured in order to access the Y-Cam from a remote location.
Check out the following AirPort User tip that I wrote on how to do so with AirPort base stations. Of course, you will need to open the appropriate ports required for your camera.
