Hello and thank you for asking your question, with JustAnswer.com/Mac. I am Sr. Mac Tech Support Specialist, Terry, glad to assist you.

What type of wireless modem (brand and model) did you order for your wireless network?

Its ok Jane:)

I will help you here

Ok so that wireless modem is going to be your way to connect to the Internet from Cable One- is this correct?

They will

do you have more than just the iMac in your soon-to-be home wireless network Jane, or is it just the iMac?

Actually it is good to know you have a printer as well

is the printer going to be hooked up regularly to your iMac?

I am asking, because if that is the case, you should be good to go

As long as you have an wireless card built into your iMac

and I know you do

it is called the Airport Extreme Wireless card

and it will allow your imac to communicate with your new Cable One wireless modem

so you can connect with your imac wirelessly to your new network

to check for the wireless card in your Mac, Jane,

just click on the black Apple menu icon in the upper left corner of your screen and select About this Mac

then select the More Info button

that will take you into what we call "System Profiler"

which allows you to view all devices and connections on your iMac

including the wireless card

try there

I cannot see from my PC computer here, but you can be my eyes

Once the new wireless modem is connected in your home network and goes live

your AirPort card in your Mac should be able to discover that new modem

and allow you to connect to the Internet

your cable installer person should be able to make sure that happens before he leaves

if not

I want you to bookmark this web page

in your web browser

so if you need ME to help you set that up with the new modem

I will be glad to do that for you

but this should be an easy connection, once the wireless modem is connected

because then, like I was explaining, the iMac should find the wireless modem connection

and connect you to the Internet-

I will just be an "insurance" for you

to make sure that does happen Jane!

:)

excellent
