Hi all,

My 27” imac is connected to my home network on wifi with full signal strength. I also have a windows PC connected to my ADSL modem via Ethernet cable in a different room.

The problem I am encountering is with the network connection on the imac. If I open multiple tabs in a browser, only the first one would load. The other pages would show a network connection error. Once the first tab is done, reloading the other tabs would be ok. Similarly, if Itunes is downloading a podcast I can’t open any webpages on any browser. Or if I’m downloading a file in a browser, then I can’t go into the itunes store or open any webpages. It feels like my wifi bandwidth is very restricted, and I don’t know what’s causing it.

This does not happen with the windows PC that is connected via Ethernet cable to the modem. This also did not happen when the iMac was connected via Ethernet cable.
