Q: problems with wifi on imac
I inherited my Dad's imac and am having problems with the built in wifi. I got the imac to connect with an old airport express which is connected to a netgear router. The airport icon in the upper right hand corner shows a strong signal yet I can't seem to connect to the internet. My ipad has no issues. When I try to go anywhere on the internet, the browser trys to connect and then times out. When I connect the imac directly to the router, it works fine. So, basically a hard wired ethernet connection works but the airport wifi does not. Any ideas?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

OK, I figured it out. I had set my ethernet connection manually instead of using DHCP and that was what was screwing up the wifi connection. Don't know why that would be but I got the wifi connection working. Thanks for your help.
