Success! A kind soul suggested offline to go through the following tortuous procedure: - Netgear powered off - Airport powered off - Hold RESET pin in while powering up Airport (hold until fast amber LED flash) - Begin to set up the Airport with the Airport Utility "genie". - When it gets to the point of "gathering information about your network", power the Netgear back on - Wait until the Airport reboots. It still won't be functional - In Airport Utility, select the "Edit" button for the Airport unit - Change the Network Router Mode setting from "Off (Bridge Mode)" to "DHCP and NAT" - Change the DNS entries from your ISP to the opendns.org set - Reboot the Airport, and have a cold one! I'm taping over the "Reset" pin hole! -Carl > On Sep 14, 2018, at 10:46 PM, Carl Hoefs <[email protected]> wrote: > > What I'm trying to do is the standard setup: > > [INTERNET] <===> [NETGEAR] <-WAN-> [AIRPORT] <-LAN-> (RJ45 devices) > > So, the Netgear has the Internet IP address, the Airport has 10.0.1.1, and the RJ45-connected devices have 10.0.1.x addresses.

I first set the Airport up with the "genie" setup tool, and then when that didn't achieve an internet connection, I altered settings. Still no go. > > -Carl > > > >> On Sep 14, 2018, at 8:38 PM, Carl Hoefs <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Our Apple Airport Extreme A1408 was working fine until some yokel decided to up and push the reset pin on the back.
