[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1879386, member: 307555"] Jake - it was suggested he create a new connection and call it "home" but all the settings should still be automatic. The reason was to see if the automatic setting was corrupt. I suggested setting manual settings only to see if the Netgear or router is the issue. If the iMac has an ip address manually assigned and it stays connected - it most likely is either the AP or what ever is handling DHCP. If the issue persist then the iMac modem has issues. I use this at work to troubleshoot. I also do a deep dive and remove plist files to force a reset of the adapter but I don't think that procedure would be prudent at this time. Interesting to note - WiFi is turned off. Why? Is there an issue with it too? Lisa [/QUOTE]
