[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1716949"] Given that the WiFi router only has a single band, I suspect it's getting long in the tooth and needs replacing. The one time the iMac used a different WiFi router, it worked perfectly (the test in the store). Never mind that other systems connect, they may also be hanging on by a thread to a weak router as well. So, buy (or borrow) another wifi router and see if the iMac can attach IN THE HOME, not the store. That's about the only way to find out if it's the router or the iMac. If the new one works, it's the router. If it doesn't, then the problem is most likely in the iMac. Until you know which is the case, we're not likely to get a solution for you. But try not to go aggressive on the store. Nice actually works more often. And definitely don't take the issue to the social media, that will get ugly in a heartbeat and won't help the case at all.
