ive had my iMac for just over a year and keep having the same problem every time I switch it on. I get a message that the wireless won’t connect because it has a self-assigned IP address. I then spend half an hour , turning my modem off and back on, turning the iMac off and on and setting up the wireless again. Nothing I do seems to make a difference. Then, after more time, it suddenly starts up and it connects, with the correct ip address. This happens nearly every time I switch it on and it is so unreliable. i just have the iMac connecting to a net gear router supplied by Sky. Should I buy some other piece of kit, eg airport express? Would that solve the problem?
