I am trying to set up port forwarding on an airport extreme v.7.7.3
I am doing so using my wireless connection via I pad and airport utility application
All connections are receiving excellent signal...I just don't know how.
.
iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 8
Before we can even begin, we need to first verify that your modem type will allow port mapping to be configured on the AirPort Extreme.
On the iPad home screen.......
Tap AirPort Utility
Tap on the AirPort Extreme icon
Tap in the password if required
Tap Edit
Tap Advanced
Tap DHCP and NAT
Tap Router Mode
What setting is displayed next to the check mark?
there is a check mark on DHCP and Nat
Thanks, that is a good sign.
Now, we need all the details......
What IP address that you want to assign to what device?
What port settings are required for the device?
I am trying to set up a cyberQ bbq cook controller.
the device shows up on the airport extreme as connected and on the Cyberq as connected.
the IP address assigned is 10.0.1.46
the port is 80
Sorry, I am not familiar with the CyberQ at all, so you will need to wait for more help on that one. Good luck.
IP address assigned is 10.0.1.46
the port is 80
I am having problems signing into this address....from my computer as well.
any thoughts?
thanks for your help.
Can you access your BBQ controller from the local network using a web browser on your iPad or computer? You will need to verify this first before attempting to connect to the device from the Internet. By default, the controller is configured for an Ad-Hoc network using 192.168.101.10 for its IP address. In contrast Apple routers default to the 10.0.0.x IP addresses.
In order for you to access it wirelessly to configure it, you must connect your iPad or computer to it using its Ad-Hoc wireless network. That way your iPad or computer can access its administration page via a web browser. You can then configure it for an Infrastructure network. Finally, if you want to access the controller from a remote location, use the following information.
Yes, In ad hoc mode I am able to pick up the controller and get into the set up ect.....
I did make the changes from my ipad
to Infrastucture mode
turned on DHCP client
filled out SSID name
identified encryption mode
entered the password key into device.
Currently I do have the IP address (via the airport extreme app) and both airport extreme app and the controller say they are connected and have strong signals...... what I can't do is access the controller from my computer or from my Ipad..... from both I get web page not found....
TThoughts?
In one of your previous replies you mentioned that your controller was assigned an 10.0.1.46 address. Is this still true or, at least, another address within this range. If so, try entering: http://<the controller's IP address>:80 into your web browser. Can it access the controller now?
Yes!!!
I did connect with my computer. That's progress. I did see a new number assigned to this bbq controller now ends in 41 and your address works for that. Yeah!!
Now I need to figure out how to connect via Ipad. I think I have to figure out how to do port forwarding..via airport extreme. As I described above....any advise on that??
thanks

Port forwarding should only be required if you plan on accessing your BBQ controller from a remote location. The iPad should work the same as your computer, as far as, connecting to the local network and accessing the controller via its built-in Safari browser
I am planning on connecting from remote location.....
that is what I am trying to set up.
Ok, then please check out the following AirPort User tip on how to set up port mapping (aka forwarding) using AirPort Utility v6.x.
Again, first be sure that you can access the BBQ controller from the local network from any device that you plan on accessing it from the Internet. Second, since port 80 is typically blocked by most ISPs we would just need to open a different port on the AirPort base station in order to access it.
Let me know if you can successfully access the controller from your iPad. Note: I am assuming that you will want to use the iPad to access the controller remotely ... correct?
Yes. Ipad and Iphone 5s
I believe I successfully accomplished the Port mapping step one. from you tips
Step 2 Setup Port mapping on base station has me puzzled.
I don't know what values to put into UDP ports or TCP ports public or Private.
Can you help me find this. I tried to use the well known ports from the bottom of your page but it only linked me into the apple support menu (general)
