AirPort Extreme Static IP
I have given the AirPort Extreme a static IP and subnet and it's wired to my router. I would like to have the AirPort Extreme be used so that any wireless device accessing it would require a static IP as well.
I've noticed in the Airport Utility, version 5.5.1, in the Internet section there are two tabs. The Internet Connection tab allows the user to set the Connect Using and the Connection Sharing. Which settings should I use? Should I set the Connect Using to Ethernet and the Connection Sharing to Off (Bridge Mode) or some other setting?
There is another tab, the TCP/IP tab. There are several entries to populate in this tab:
Configure IPv4:
IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Router Address:
DNS Server(s):
Should I set the Configure IPv4 to Manually or Using DHCP? I have the rest of the information, but do I need to input the rest of the IP information in the TCP/IP tab? I've already given the router a static IP and subnet at setup. Why would I need to populate that information again? Do I need to provide the DNS Server(s) IP addresses as well (I do have them)?
Any suggestions would be helpful and I thank you in advance.
