My printer suddenly cannot connect to the same configurations as my network. When I run network diagnostics, all things check out with green dots except for the last one which is "server". Nothing has been changed, every device in the house connects without problems. The printer was in sleep mode for a few days but it has been in sleep mode many times. Can I restart Airport Extreme from my computer?
Thanks,
MacBook Air, macOS Sierra (10.12)
Can I restart Airport Extreme from my computer?
Yes you can, but it might be easier and faster to restart the AirPort Extreme by simply pulling the power cord from the back of the AirPort, waiting a few seconds, and then plugging it back in.
If you want to restart the AirPort from your Mac......
Open AirPort Utility (Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility)
Click on the picture of the AirPort Extreme
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Base Station menu......up at the very top of the computer screen.....where you see the other menus like File, Window, Help, etc
Click Restart
Click Continue
Bob,
Thank you very much. I've unplugged Airport base station in the past to get rid of a glitch. This was my wireless printer. The printer decided one day it couldn't find my MacBook. Both were on the same network & the scanner scanned to my MacBook. Someone advised me to restart the AE Base Station. I'm always afraid I'll mess something up. I did unplug it but the problem wasn't there.
It was scanning to the same MacBook but not printing. It was not printing to my iPhone or iPad, either. I turned printer off, waited a bit, turned it back on & it worked! I'm printing again. Thank you very much!
