[QUOTE="ManoaHi, post: 1624385, member: 264133"] I think the RJ11 threw most people off. I think what you mean is that the RJ11 between the modem/router and the wall jack (or dangling cable). Do you have a separate modem and router or do you have a modem/router, where both are in the same box? I see one of two problems. You have a obstruction issue or faulty AirPort section of iMac. I think the former. Although you say hallway, are you familiar with the wiring of the house? I had looked at a similar problem with an acquaintance where he moved the router, not the modem, to a new location in a corner as it was the geographic center of the house. Turns out that the wiring from the second floor was all in the wall and no WiFi on the other side of the wood framed wall. The wires were headed to breaker box in basement. But to get to that point, I'm not clear why they did this but the lateral wiring was in the floor (can't figure why they didn't go through the walls), of the hallway to get to that down run. i.e. it is not always easy to tell how the house was wired. I am also guessing that when you tested your iPhone and MacBook, they are in the same location of the iMac. What is the iMac showing as your signal strength? Do you recall what it was before?
