Wireless on the Verizon router<\/li>\n<li>Change the IP range that the Verizon router serves out to start at 192.168.1.10<\/li>\n<li>Enable the DMZ on the Verizon router and set it to 192.168.1.2<\/li>\n<li>Set the Airport Extreme to static IP and assign it to 192.168.1.2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This combination of steps will allow the Airport Extreme to control your home network serving out IP addresses, and to execute port forwarding (without having to also do that on the Verizon router).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class='screensteps-media'>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
