But the good news is that there are many cases where a simple action is enough to solve the problem classic router restart. You can do this in several ways - either through the interface in the browser, or directly physically.

In addition to getting cloud storage thanks to this service, it also boasts various security features - the main one being Private Relay. This feature can completely hide your IP address and other information from sites and trackers by using proxy servers that act as "middlemen" that can anonymize you.

Select an option from the menu that appears Open the Wireless Diagnostics… A new window will then open, where you press the button Continue a wait for diagnostics to run.
