Apple iMac computers come equipped with built-in Wi-Fi cards that allow you to connect to most existing wireless Internet networks, provided you are in range and know the network password. This feature can come in handy if you want to join the wireless Internet connection in your office, for example. Take advantage of your iMac’s native AirPort utility to connect your business's iMac to a Wi-Fi connection.
1.Click the AirPort icon in the system tray in the top right corner of your iMac’s screen to display the AirPort menu. The AirPort icon looks like a stacked series of convex lines forming a wedge shape.
2.Verify 'Turn Airport Off' appears on the AirPort menu. If it does not, click “Turn AirPort On” to activate your iMac's Wi-Fi connectivity.
3.Click the AirPort icon again and click the name of the network you want to join.
4.Enter your Wi-Fi network password, if prompted. Press the “Return” key to connect your iMac to a Wi-Fi network.
Tip
- If the Wi-Fi network you are trying to join is unencrypted, your iMac will be able to access the Internet without having to enter a password.
