Internet connection on an iMac

I’ve just had full fibre installed. My iPad, too, iPhone connect to the internet OK but I have a problem with my iMac. When I connect to the router it says I’m connected to broadband but I cannot connect to internet sites. Help

Connected to the router how?

Do you have any Ethernet over power adapters in use?

Do you have any devices which extend your network over the mains power circuit?

Re: Internet connection on an iMac

Ah, right. System Preferences looks more like iOS in the newer macOS versions.

Try some “fixes” from this webpage;
https://osxdaily.com/2024/10/08/fix-macos-sequoia-network-wifi-issues/
I’ve no idea if any of these work as my Mac is stuck on Catalina.
That's RPM to you!!
