iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
System Preferences>Network, select Wi-Fi on the left and then click on the 'minus' button beneath it. That'll get rid of your existing configuration. Then click on the 'plus' button and from the drop-down menu select Wi-Fi to set up a new connection.
From threads I've read on here the wifi on iMacs seem to work more reliably when WPA/WPA2 security is selected rather than WEP.

Why would you use WEP when someone can hack it. I suggest that you always use WPA/WPA2 security.
I wouldn't, that's why I mentioned it and using WPA/WPA2 is what I suggested and what I use 😉.
However, I'm sure there are plenty of users still using WEP, unknowingly leaving themselves more vulnerable.
It worked!
