AE to wired router = works with Mac's but not iPhone

[Qwerty11]

So I have a dLink router and and AE. the AE is connected to the dLink. My mac's will connect and run fine off of the AE, but the iPhones will connect, but exchange minimum amounts of data. Could somebody help me out?

The dLink has the following settings.

My Internet Connection is : Dynamic IP (DHCP)
Advanced DNS service : Not Enabled
Use Unicasting: Yes
Wireless Enabled: No
Enable DNS Relay: Yes
Enable DHCP Server: Yes
Always Broadcast: Yes
Enable QoS Engine: Yes
Automatic Uplink Speed: Yes
Enable SPI Firewall: Yes
Enable anti-spoof checking: No
Enable UPnP: Yes
Enable WAN Ping Respond: Yes

The AE has the following settings:
Connect Using: DHCP
Network Mode: Create a wireless network
Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode)

That last setting doesn't look right to me. I'm not at my AE so I can't check which way the flag should be, but if router mode is off, then your AE is in bridge mode (at least, that's the way I parse that last line). If your AE is in bridge mode, then it's expecting another router to bridge to.

Instead, you're connecting user devices to your Airport Extreme/Express, so that's the end router in the chain. Therefore it should be in Router Mode.

[If I've interpreted the Router Mode flag in the wrong direction, then everything I've said is wrong.]

Something is definitely wrong the iPhone will connect to the AE but not receive data.

I'm betting using the AE as a print hub won't work as well.

Somebody help!

Is the router running your DNS Service or not?

Advanced DNS service : Not Enabled
Enable DNS Relay: Yes

I'm a complete dummy on networking so I do not know.

open terminal on your mac and write
scutil --dns

Look up "resolver #1" for the IP of -> nameserver.
In airport utility put in the IP-adress at DNS settings.

The AE has the following settings:
Connect Using: DHCP
Network Mode: Create a wireless network
Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode) <--------------------- Change to bridge mode.

This allows you to bridge the 2 physical networks. Make sure you have DHCP with the same scope running on your router.

Are you using AE to extend the network or to have a faster network?

Are all devices running on your AE router?

[Qwerty11]

I'm using AE because it works great with all my apple products. Don't really have any better reason.The AE needs to be just for WI-FI not the router. I want the d-link to handle the routing.

Thx, but it is already set with the resolver 1 DNS.

This allows you to bridge the 2 physical networks. Make sure you have DHCP with the same scope running on your router.

If I'm not mistaken Off (Bridge Mode) is in bridge mode. The other two options are "DHCP and NAT" and DHCP Only.

For some reason when using airport utility on the iPhone the AE always is shown as green, but the "internet" keeps going from green to yellow and back again. When I click on it connection switched from Connected to Disconnected. The router and dns servers are 192.168.0.1.

My wireless connection on my macs is solid.

Yes. I is green for AE but intermittently changes from green to yellow for internet.

[Gav2k]

Have you updated the airport? Because the last firmware or the one before that caused this issue for a lot of us.

[Qwerty11]

Probably not unless it auto updates. I'm guessing I do this through airport utility?

I updated my iPhone to 6.1 and everything started working correctly!
