Let's try to reset your router. Please, find the pinhole labeled “Reset” with the button inside of it.

Try to use pin hole again, if it will not restart, do this:
Try to unplug it from the outlet while it is on.
Leave it like this for 2 minutes.
Plug into the outlet and turn on again.
Customer Reply
Yes I’ll try that

Let's perform a Wireless Diagnostic, okay?
1. Press and hold the Option key on your keyboard while clicking Wi-Fi in Control Center or the menu bar.
2. Then choose Open Wireless Diagnostics from the menu.
