3. Choose a network:

• Click on the Wi-Fi icon again.

• A list of available Wi-Fi networks will be displayed.

4. Join the network:

• Select the name of the Wi-Fi network you want to join from the list.

5. Enter password (if required):

• If the network is password-protected, you'll be prompted to enter the password.

• Type the Wi-Fi network password in the designated field.

6. Connect:

• Click "Join" to connect your iMac to the Wi-Fi network.

7. Confirmation:
