I'm currently going mad trying to get my Apple Time Machine to be the DHCP and NAT Server. I've turned off DHCP in the Super Hub config and turned DHCP and NAT on in the Time Machine. Doing this, I thought, would be all that I'd need to do but it's not able to reach the internet.
There's an option to turn the Super Hub into Modem mode but I'd like to keep the WiFi options on it as it's down stairs and the Time Machine upstairs. The WiFi on the Super Hub is a hell of a lot better than the Time Machine's as well.
Am I already trying to do something I can't?
Steps Taken
- I turned off DHCP in the Super Hub.
- I turned on DHCP in the Time Machine - 10.0.1.100 - 10.0.1.200
- I assigned a static IP to the Super Hub - 10.0.1.2
- I went to the internet tab in airport utility and assigned IPv4 - 10.0.1.99, and assigned router IP to 10.0.1.1, BUT no matter what values these were in the 10.0.1.### range the utility would say the WAN IP conflicted with my DHCP range.
- After much messing about I tried my external IP for the IPv4 field and tried a 10.0.1.### for the router. Same error again. Then decided to give both router and IPv4 the same external IP and that allowed me to update the routers config, but still no internet.
