Jun 8, 2015 2:18 PM in response to LittleGuitars25by rccharles,I am positive that the passwords are correct.
Must be a wifi network. That's hardder. First get a cable and cable connect. That will sort out that you have you internet software set up correctly.
For the wifi, disable the password. see if you imac connects. What type of encryption are you trying? Could the imac doesn't support the encryption. Try wep. Wep is next to worthless, but at least it will show someone break in when they get in over wifi.
look through here and figure out what type of wifi hardware you have.
What iMac do you have?

Jun 9, 2015 8:34 PM in response to LittleGuitars25by rccharles,For your hardware, I meant for you to look around and see what type of wifi device you have.
I'd guess your wifi hardware doesn't support the newer wifi encryption.

The letters n/g/b correspond to the speed of the data transfer. You should match the speed to your existing router. You best match on the highest speed. N is the highest. G is middle. b is lowest.
