Hi All Solved the missing Airports - after installing OSX 10.10 after 2xs 5 hours of frustration I found it mentioned on a MacRumors page: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1740885&page=2
Quote: Same problem as so many others. After new install of Yosemite on a MacBook Pro, I was able to connect to internet via wireless through TimeCapsule, but could not access TimeMachine; AirPort Utility showed internet, but no configured wi-fi devices. After some mentions above of firewall settings, I turned off firewall in System > Security&Privacy > Firewall. Turned Wi-Fi off and back on, and--voilà--the TimeCapsule was visible, and with a green dot. I was able to turn the firewall back on after adding AirPort Utility to the list of FileSharing (AFP) apps. after that I continued to see TimeCapsule and was able to conduct a Time Machine backup as before the Yosemite installation. Hope this helps. Brian On 21 Oct 2014, at 8:28 pm, Brian Risbey <[email protected]> wrote: Thank you Daniel I shall work through this extensive list.

(as they have two,…one WAN port and some Ethernet ports). It should be the one that looks like a circle. Possibly also, the new Netgear may not do DNS relay (I'm sure that's not the right term,.but I have a headache, so bear with me). As it's only a one port modem, it expects to hand one just one IP address. Normally a wireless one will do DHCP and hand out IP addresses to all connected devices, as it knows you're going to have more then one. And you've probably got the Airport DHCP set to Bridge mode. (under Airport Utility the Network. Router Mode set to Off (Bridge Mode). What you'll need to do in the above is change this to something like DHCP Only or DHCP and NAT. I would imagine,..and I'm guessing here without seeing it,…so again bear with me,… The Netgear Router will be something like 192.168.0.1 When you plug in your computer your IP address will most likely be 192.168.0.2 If you can confirm that you're getting an IP address like that, and it's not changing (or that the Netgear doesn't do DHCP), then that will point you in the right direction as well. (as it only expects to hand out one number ever). So if that is the case, then you can set the Airport to do DHCP Only. Set the DHCP range to something like 192.168.0.5 through to 192.168.0.200 Then click Update in the Airport Utility. This then means you can still get to the Netgear on 192.168.0.1, and all other devices will be in the range from 192.168.0.5 onwards. So the modem is just doing the internet, and the Airport is handing out it's numbers to connected machines. Hope that helps. (I've assumed a few details there without knowing exact models of things, or seeing the network),…but hopefully should get you started on the right track.
