Hi, purhaps you need to provide a little more info, is it the imac itself that crashes, or the internet connection. If the latter is it the wireless connection itself or the DSL connection, my guess is the latter, could you please clarify.

If its is the latter please explain what filtering you have on the phones on the line.

Could it be that you have a cordless phone that uses the same frequencies as the wireless internet connection?
