airport extreme DHCP issue
Discussion
Hi all,
i've just bought an airport extreme. my network has a net gear dg834 router/modem. i have deactivated the wifi on the net gear using it just as a modem and connected via ethernet cable to the WAN of my airport extreme and enabled wifi on the airport.
keeping DHCP on the net gear and everything works.
however, i want to have the airport extreme as the brains of the network and the net gear as just a dumb modem. when i deactivate DHCP on the net gear and activate it on the airport my network gets buggerred up. i can still access all the computers and NASs on the network but i cannot access the interweb.
after much fiddling i've switched it back now so the airport extreme is just in bridge mode and providing the wifi, and the net gear still runs the show with DHCP etc.
i've trawled the interweb but cannot find a solution to this. i was wondering if any of you bright chaps might know the answer?
thanks
