WiFi Interface is missing.

Hello guys,

Suddenly my Macbook Air (2017 model) stopped connecting to wifi.



  • So, from Network settings, I set the WiFi inactive and removed it. But after restart, I don't see the Wi-Fi option to add from + icon.


  • With suggestions from forums, I tried resetting SMC and PRAM/NVRAM. But it didn't worked.


  • Then, tried to follow these commands, But commands showed error: all airport network services are disabled.
networksetup -setairportpower airport off
networksetup -setairportpower airport on


  • With this command, It didn't list WiFi in the list.
sudo networksetup -listallnetworkservices


  • Checked the System information and found this:



  • Finally, thought to reinstall MacOS, but I can't because it needs internet 😔


Based on other's suggestion, is it likely that wireless hardware is damaged and there is no real solution to it, without getting to the technician? I can't actually go out in this locked-down period, and need WiFi in my mac, desperately 😔


Any suggestion/feedback would be appreciated!


MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15
