[QUOTE="wizardchef, post: 1644859, member: 265975"] I cannot get a clean connection to my router when I connect with a cable (5-10% speed down, locks on upload test), yet things work just fine with wifi turned on and connected. I have tried going into the network settings and things look OK, but it refuses to connect with an RG-45 connection. Running Yosemite on and iMac desktop. After mucking with this for over an hour, it suddenly started working. Any thoughts on why this would happen would be appreciated. Spoke too soon. Now the Mac is locked again during a speed test. All this time I have a PC laptop sitting right next to it on the same connection, and it runs the speed test just fine. So, it is not the ISP. It's something screwy about the iMac wired connection that seems to come and go. PS Using a Netgear C3700 router. [/QUOTE]
