What I actually need is an AirPort Extreme “NAT Only” router mode that doesn’t exist.

Off (Bridge Mode) – This is just used for acting as a wifi extender.

DHCP Only – This runs a DHCP server but doesn’t function as a router.

DHCP and NAT – This is the default mode and it runs a DHCP server and lets clients access the internet.

This is where the problems started because you don’t have that option in the interface for the Router Mode. The Problemįor this setup to work, all I do is to turn off the DHCP server on the router so that the Microsoft DHCP server can take over. All my other non-Microsoft devices (laptop, iPad, TV, etc.) can work normally as well. This ensures that all the Microsoft clients can correctly register themselves in the Microsoft DNS but can still access the internet directly. The Microsoft DNS is setup to forward external DNS requests to the router. The way I have it setup is that the Microsoft DHCP server is responsible for allocating IP addresses and it causes the clients to use the Microsoft DNS (along with the Dynamic DNS registrations) along with some other specific DHCP scope options. I also have a number of virtual client machines which are constantly rebuilt for testing.

I recently got an Apple Time Capsule to replace my old linksys cable router. The instructions are for the AirPort Extreme in the Time Capsule, but I believe this should be the same for a standard AirPort Extreme as well. This post will show how you can use an configure an AirPort Extreme for NAT only mode so that you can allow an additional DHCP server on your network to handle IP address allocation.
