Mini Mac recognition

My MiniMac will not recognize any bluetooth(Sony speaker) or HP printer(wireless). Both speaker and printer are fine. If a Mac is having problems recognizing wireless or bluetooth devices, is there a common software problem? Yesterday, everything was working fine.

Try turning off WiFi, then turn off Bluetooth.


Turn on one service - bluetooth only. If speakers work then try changing the WiFi router to connect via 5GHz instead of 2.4GHz.


Bluetooth and 2.4GHz operate in similar frequencies and can interfere.
