Q: My iMac's browser network is extremely slow

I have a new iMac.. Everything is great but after one or two hours in sleep mode or 4-5 hours of usage, I can't use internet on browsers. Browser network becomes extremely slow.. My Wi-Fi signal is great.. What's wrong with my iMac? it is a bug of operating system or a problem with my computer?

    Click OK.
