iMac will not connect to RAX50

iMac running Big Sur 11.5 will not connect to RAX50.  All other devices connect with no issue:  iPad, iPhone, Bose wi-Fi speakers, RainBird irrigation, etc. Cannot establish a Wi-Fi connection with the iMac.

Re: iMac will not connect to RAX50

Does it not see the ssid? 

Does it see it but not connect? 

Does it connect but say something like "connected, no internet"

What exact error/issue do you see?

Yes, sees SSID, and indicates connected, only error is no Internet connection when attempting to browse.  iMac works fine when connected via ethernet cable directly to cable modem bypassing RAX50.

photos have to be approved by a moderator and can take a while.

Or you can click on "choose file" and attach them 1 at a time. 

Have you looked on the Mac forums since this is an issue with only 1 device?
