Q: AirPort Extreme no longer part of my network
I have AirPort Extreme 802.11ac. Airpot Utility now shows a yellow caution Triangle and says my"AP Ext. was previously part of my network. Device is missing from your network." Green light is still on, indicating we still have wi-fi connection. Our wireless devices still work. How do I get it to list our devices again? 2 changes happened in a short
period: I downloaded Apples latest security patch to all devices. We set up a new Smart TV connecting to Internet through AP Extreme wi-fi. Could either of these affect? How do we reset?
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), Airport Extreme

I heard about this issue on a recent podcast (Merlin Mann). It seems that there's a bug in the recent driver. It causes the base station to disappear from the network. It still works but the utility software can't find it. I did have temporary luck when I unplugged my modem and AirPort Extreme. I was able to access it, when it powered up, but once I saved the settings, it never reappeared. I fear that the only thing we can do is wait for an update to fix it.
If others have this issue, please post about it. The more of us that report it, the quicker it will get fixed.
