Hello. I am using an Apple iMac. I recently installed OSX 10.9.4 Maverick and have since been having a couple of problems, one being my Mac Mail program often requires a Restart of the iMac to enable messages to go out. The other problem is where my internet 'hangs up' and again I require the Restart process to clear it up.
I noticed that since the recent install of Maverick I have been asked to sign into my Linksys wireless account. I had never had to do that prior to the Maverick install.
I decided to check my Router hookup and noticed that my Cat 5 cable from the iMac is not connected, so obviously I am operating the iMac in a wireless condition.
Can someone advise me if I can connect the Cat 5 cable direct to the Linksys EA3500 so I am not operating wireless and if so will there be anything else I will have to do to complete the connection?
I am attaching a diagram of my setup, you will see the Cat 5 cable is not connected..
Thanks for any assistance.
