Hello all, I'm new to Mac and was under the impression that my iMac (which I bought a couple of months ago) would be able to find my existing wireless network at home (Netgear router). Initially I had the iMac connected to the router via an ethernet cable.
Shop NETGEAR N300 N USB Adapter Black at Best Buy. This item is no longer available. But don't go!
It has been working fine under that setup. Today I moved the iMac upstairs thinking it would find our wireless network, but no dice. Both our iPhone and our iPad are able to find the network. Not to mention the Windows 7 laptop I'm typing this on now.
I feel like I'm missing something basic due to my PC based upbringing. Thanks in advance. Is there any, firewire, or ethernet cords plugged into your imac? Is there any bluetooth use? If so, click on the 'gear' next to + and - and cselect 'set service order' and drag airport to top of list. If not, try this: system pref -netwwork highlight airport (click), then hit the minus button. Airport will have disappeared.
Click '+' choose Airport from drop down menu. If its not first, click on the 'gear' next to + and - and cselect 'set service order' and drag it to top of list. Btw, is there encryption on your network? Is there any, firewire, or ethernet cords plugged into your imac?

Btw, is there encryption on your network? Can't find any wireless networks on my iMac Toby - I read through your help for the other person, and I've got the same issue. However, that last step still hasn't fixed it for me. Wondering if you can help me diagnose whether I've got a software or hardware problem?
Network settings: Airport = On and Enabled. (No wireless network found) There is 100% a valid wireless network. I've connected on my MacBook. I can't connect on this iMac (which I recently inherited).
AirPort Card Information: Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x89) Wireless Card Locale: Unknown Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.21) Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available Plugging directly into the router with an ethernet card DOES work. Any thoughts on diagnosing this?

MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018) MacBook Pro (pictured), MacBook Air, iMac Pro, iMac, and Mac mini have multiple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports. If your Mac has only one port like this, it's a MacBook with USB-C.
That port supports all but the Thunderbolt solutions in this article. MacBook has just one port, which supports USB-C but not Thunderbolt. IPad Pro 11-inch and iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) have one USB-C port. Learn more about.
