[QUOTE="skays, post: 1878950, member: 137863"] Thank you for the suggestions. And it happened again. Woke up this morning and no internet connection. I will provide more detail below. Friend who has his own IT business set up my home system with 3 Netegear Access Points. AP 1 is connected to my iMac with ethernet cable. APs 2 and 3 are located in bedrooms to on either side of my large home to provide good wifi access throughout and outside in patio. They all work perfectly with exception of iMac dropping connection. Situation this morning. 1. Netgear AP port #3 status light green. So the AP is working shows "connected" to my iMac. 2. System Preferences>Network>: Shows Ethernet 2 as “ yellow” and Status: "Connected. Ethernet 2 using self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet" 3. System Preferences>Network>Advanced drop down page: Shows different IPv4 Address and different Subnet Mask, and no Router number. So for some reason when my iMac goes to sleep after not being used for a few hours it disconnects. [/QUOTE]
