Upgrade of the firmware. Usually you can go to the brands website and pick up a firmware upgrade, which will require a ethernet connection (in order to stay connected to the router) and it will upload the latest version.

They are sometimes not always automatically updated. :undecided:

Have you tried going to system preferences then click assist me it should test the connection. I am virgin also but don't have any problems with my router my imac is connected via ethernet but have run it on wireless also & not had any problems. I can't see it being an issue with your iMac, how old is it ?
