Airport Extreme DHCP and NAT
Hi everyone,
I have been having issues with my network for almost a week now.
I was on the phone with the ISP several times this weekend, and they conclude that the issue is with my router and not their server.
We have Dish network in our apartment complex, and they get their internet from Comcast (I believe). The company that distributes the signal throughout the building is the one I spoke to.
Our setup is one with DHCP and NAT, where it used to just be a bridge. I have the network set up and it is reading the ISP signal properly.
I have hooked up the ethernet directly to the older Macbook Pro, and the internet works just fine. As soon as I put it through the Airport, I can only load a couple of websites. The rest start to load, and then timeout.
I am able to get limited connectivity with the 2011 Macbook Pro, Ipad 2, and sometimes my iphone 6. We cannot get connection through my wife's new Macbook Air, Iphone 5C, iPad mini, or Apple TV. All have the latest updates, including the router.
I even tried to hook up the older Airport that I have hooked up at my business, and it experiences the same issues.
I am a little lost as to what I need to do at this point. I have done hard and soft resets, and changed the settings so many times that I am now seeing the numbers in my sleep. But a conversation with the ISP this morning confirmed that everything is set up properly on their end, and I have to agree based on the instant connectivity when plugged in to my ethernet connection on my Macbook.
Do I need to get on the phone with support tonight when I get home, or has someone else experienced similar issues?
