Hi Ronni again, Just to let you know that the keychain didn’t reveal the password for the wifi, probably because the router/wifi is an Asus. Anyway, a colleague was able to tell me how to get into the Asus from the iMac, whereupon I found the password and all is now ok Maybe for future reference for a WAMUG user, Asus Router/Wifi 192.168.1.1 ID admin PW admin wireless page reveals all including password for the wifi cheers
