After 5 years of flawless performance, all of a sudden, I cannot get internet over the wifi on my iMac. Other devices have no problem, so it is not a router or internet issue.
I can access the internet with an ethernet cable to the same router I was connected to by wifi.
Yes, I have restarted the iMac and router per the articles, but still not working.
If your Mac is 5 years old you may have a faulty component. Parts break at all ages but generally the older the unit the more prone to breaking.
