    Hi,

     

    It depends a bit upon how you are connected to the Internet (cable, DSL, dial-up, fibre or mobile). Do you have a router (with a number of LAN Ethernet ports)? Please post back with additional information about connection method and equipment (and possibly the Internet service provider; do you mean EE in the UK?) to begin with.

     

    If necessary, it is possible to make the iMac 'Wi-Fi capable' via an external wireless Ethernet bridge.

     

    Also, do you have access to another computer at the same place (and do you wish to transfer files to that machine)?
