The wire you broke is the Airport antenna cable. It is a replaceable part, but replacement involves disassembling the display assembly, and is not a job for the inexperienced.
If your network is being created by an Apple AirPort base station, use AirPort Utility to put the base station into "manual setup" mode, then pull down the "Base Station" menu and select "Equivalent Network Password". Try the value shown there.

There is a function for the airport called "robustness". you can enable it in the icon in the upper-right of the screen. It looks like a wi-fi signal icon. Click there, then click on "connection robustness" I think it is called. I am pretty sure that will work, unless the signal is just too weak, and that could be the reason it falls off frequently. If that doesn't work for you, I am in Colusa, and have 2 extra airport cards I am selling for $5 each. Good luck.
Several steps to try.
1) Make sure your iMac Airport card is powered on. You can do that with the Airport icon in your menu bar (looks like a pie wedge), or go to System Preferences / Networking / Airport and make sure Airport is on (also, enable "Show Airport Status in Menu Bar" to get the handy icon).
2) Temporarily move your iMac as close as possible to the Airport Express. Pull down the Airport icon and see if the name of your network shows up. If it doesn't, you have a bad Airport card in your iMac. Otherwise...
3) Move your iMac back to where it was. See if the Airport icon still shows your network's name. If not, you may have a bad Airport antenna in your iMac, or you may simply have too many intervening walls or be at too far a distance.
