[QUOTE="skays, post: 1879775, member: 137863"] Tech that set up my home Access Point network and he determined the ethernet port on the back of my iMac has gone bad. He connected to the Netgear AP device by using an ethernet adapter and plugging the Netgear AP device to my iMac using a USB port. All that said, why would System Preferences/Network basic show a "green" status icon as well as a "Status: Connected" for the ethernet?? Talked to a tech at the new Simply Mac store in my area who said a logic board would need to be replaced to the tune of $439.00, not including labor. Fortunately, I purchased my iMac using my American Express Card which also adds an additional year to the warranty. Still can connect to internet via WiFi. Looking at 3 to 5 day estimate for repair after they obtain the parts. [/QUOTE]
