Q: IMac not Connecting to Wifi Network - Connection Timeout

I recently switched cable providers to Time Warner. They set up a Ubee cable modem and all devices (IPhone, IPad, AppleTV, etc) are all connecting to the wireless network except my IMac. I tried renewing my DHCP lease, updating to OS X Maverick but every time I try and connect I get an error message that says "Connection Time Out". Any ideas?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Hello budski27

There are a few more things to try to get your iMac to connect to the internet. One is to create a new network location to see if there are any settings preventing it from connecting. If that does not work, then check out the second and third articles for more information like making sure that router is using the recommended settings.
