Q: Internet keeps dropping

Hey,

 

So recently, the wifi connection to my iMac 2011 (21.5") has been dropping at an alarming rate. Even as I write this post, I have to keep turning the wifi on and off, just to give it a jump start. On some days, it lasts a good few hours before it drops. On other days- like today, it drops every 20 seconds!

 

Every time I run the 'Network Diagnostics', it seems to immediately fix the problem without a solution. But within seconds, it drops again...

 

The wifi seems to work fine on my other devices and PC's- it's just the iMac that has the issue! Someone said something about changing the router channel...what does that mean?!

 

Any easy-to-try solution would be most helpful- or something step-by-step thats easy to follow- haha!

 

Thanks!

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011)
