See your Wi-Fi network in AirPort Utility on Mac
When you first open AirPort Utility, it shows a graphical overview of your Wi-Fi network and any base stations and devices connected to it.
![The graphical overview, showing two AirPort Express base stations and an AirPort Time Capsule connected to the Internet.](https://help.apple.com/assets/5C6B25C5680CE2C57C86DDB4/5C6B25C7680CE2C57C86DDBB/en_AU/36994ee660e9ccef54a57a587ac6cc31.png)
The base station’s name and status are shown in the graphical overview. You can identify the base station’s status by the colour of the dot next to it:
A solid green dot
indicates that the base station is connected to the network and working properly.
A solid amber dot
indicates that the base station is starting up.
A flashing amber dot
indicates that the base station can’t establish a connection to the network or the Internet or is encountering a problem; in many cases, AirPort Utility provides a status message.
A dot that flashes amber
and green
indicates that there may be a problem starting up.
To get more information about a base station, hold your mouse over it. The pop-up menu that appears provides information about the base station.
If there’s a status message associated with a base station, a red badge appears to the right of the base station name.
To view status messages, click the base station.

If you want to modify a base station’s settings, select the base station and enter its password (if it’s required).
