Hello,
I"ll start off by saying that I'm not the most computer savvy person out there. Also, this is not about connecting to WiFi, I've had no issues with that. The problem I have is this:
We bought a new iMac, hooked everything up, downloaded the updates and immediately noticed we are having network issues. We've had problems with our ISP in the past and took it as a sign to change, so our all our hardware is new. The issue we're having is that when the iMac is connected to the network our internet speeds vary erratically from 10mbps to 0.25mbps. Once it is off everything runs smoothly and speeds hover around 10mbps. On the device list for our network the iMac comes up with no make or model and shows as running Windows 7. For a while other devices were getting booted off our network with an error message that their IP addresses were in use. I have also been running a macbook pro with osx 10.9.1 with no issues. Connection issues also occur when the iMac is the only device on the network.
I've tried searching for a solution but have come up empty handed. Most responses have to do with WiFi issues, which we don't have.
Thanks in advance for any help
