    Question about installing application 'Balena Etcher'

    Hello, Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm still pretty new to macOS and installing things. I downloaded Etcher to burn an Ubuntu USB stick for another computer, but didn't know it had to be installed first. I do not want to install anything, so I closed the launcher and canceled the...

    Why does Wireless Diagnostics incorrectly say my network cannot communicate with the internet?

    My Wi-Fi network is connected but when I ran Wireless Diagnostics it says: "You are connected to a Wi-Fi network that cannot communicate with the internet...try restarting router. If that doesn’t work contact Apple Care." Is there something I need to look into or can I ignore it? Thank you.
