There's not enough information about your iMac, what version of macOS it's running, and how it's connected to the network/internet (WiFi? Ethernet?) in order to provide a detailed response.


See if this article from Apple helps with your issue. Be sure to check the section about running Wireless Diagnostics to check for network issues.
