Internet Connection on imac I have an iMac that I bought in 2016, had a new hard drive installed 12/2017. A few months ago around April of 2022, it would lose internet connection. After a couple of days it would reconnect for a few days, then kick off again. Determined it isn’t my internet, it’s the computer. Moved to another state, turned computer on, it connected immediately to the internet. Few hours later, kicked off again. Each time it kicks off I try to manually connect, but won’t do it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Internet connective I don't turn off my mac and sometimes when going to use it, it is no lomger connected to the internet. The computer sits right next to the router. To get the MAC connected I have to restart it. My PC sitting right beside it never loses connection. Does anyone have this problem and does any one have a solution.
