Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi,
My Imac has dropped out from using the wireless network via the Aiport. The lastime this happened all I had to do
was upgrade the firmware and all sprung back to life.
I have upgraded the firmware and done a factory reset to configure the aiport and still the iMac wont pick it up.
The 3 iPads and MacbookAir have no problems in connecting but the iMac wont see it.can anyone help?
Many Thanks
Imac
We don't know which version of OS X you are running, but here are a few suggestions for trouble-shooting wifi problems:
WiFi Problems:
Wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.
However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always. In no particular order:
Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
Change the wifi channel on the router
Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
Reboot the router
Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas. They mainly reference Lion, but still seem to be relevant to Mountain Lion and possibly Mavericks:

Hi, Many thanks for the reply. I`m using Mavericks at the moment. When I get home from work I shall check out your advice and hopefully should solve the issue.
Worked a treat. Thank you very much
My Imac has decided to not pick up my Airport base station.
