In Sys Prefs>Network>Ethernet>Advanced>TCP/IP,. look for Router IP.


With Computer connected via Ethernet put that IP in the Url bar & press enter, you should be greeted by asking User & password, if it was never changed try admin for name & passeord for password.


Will need Brand & model of Router if that doesn't work.


Other things you can try as is...


Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...


System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.


System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.


The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.


Sys Prefs>Network>highlight the Interface you're using>Advanced>TCP/IP>Configure IPv4: Using DHCP.


If using Wifi, instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.


System Preferences>Network>choose interface>Advanced>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.


System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...


8.8.8.8

8.8.4.4

1.1.1.1

9.9.9.9


Apply.


If that connects you...


Go on the Apple certificate page:

Apple PKI - Apple


Download the Apple Intermediate Certificates

Apple IST CA 2 - G1 Certificate (direct download)


Double click the downloaded certificate to install it in Keychain Access.

You should see it now, in login certificates.
