Apple Airport Extreme & Guest Network
Posted: Wed Jul 17, 2013 2:02 pm
I'm having issues with my Apple Airport Extreme since I installed Amahi and it started doing DHCP for my network. I know that the Airport and Amahi don't play nice, but here is what I'm experiencing.
- Wired network is fine. All wired devices function normally. This includes a desktop PC (Dual boot Hackintosh OSX 10.8.4/Windows 7), a HTPC (windows 7), Xbox 360, and the Amahi Home Server. Wired hosts use 192.168.1.x addresses
Private Wireless Network works fine. It's a WPA2 Personal network with a rather complex password sting. I'd actually like to change it to WPA2 Enterprise by putting a RADIUS server on the Amahi Home Server so it can be done by user name & password, but that's a step down the road. Wireless clients use 192.168.1.x addresses
The Guest Network, also using WPA2 Personal, but with a shorter password that I can give out to guests. It does not allowed to connect to private network (wired or wireless) hosts. This does not function properly unless I manually set IP addresses, gateway & DNS on the devices. Guest wireless hosts use 172.16.42.x addresses
