I'm trying to use application that require Rosetta Stone 2. When I open the app it pops up with an option to download, but then it says there are no rosetta updates available and asks for me to check my internet connection. My Internet is fine and it still won't work. How do I install rosetta?
• If you need to install Rosetta2 on your Mac - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861
Rosetta 2 enables a Mac with Apple silicon to use apps built for a
Mac with an Intel processor. "If you have a Mac with Apple silicon,
you might be asked to 'install Rosetta' in order to open an app. Click
Install, then enter your user name & password to allow installation
to proceed."
So it would seem the Mac would assist with installation on-demand
if you try & run applications originally intended for Intel-based Mac.
You may need to try & see if using Safe mode first to ready your M1
Mac, & install Rosetta2 while started in safe mode. Then restart after.

There has been no known issues with getting this tool or installation.

Perhaps if you'd share the name of the application sought, that
may be helpful to know ~ as other users may have useful clues.
"..you should contact the app developer to inquire about a version
that can natively.." ~ (run) in a new M1 Silicon SoC configuration.
Does the lack of wi-fi only affect getting this one app?
Or has a wireless diagnostic been performed to see if
other things are affecting a general wireless failure?
Checked for wireless settings, recommendations, etc?
So far, I've been wary of major hardware upgrades; as issues
result from early adoption of various systems &/or software.
Sorry to not have an actual answer to various circumstance
which appear to be caused by an unknown failure to get or
use a application, that may/may not work with Rosetta2.
Presumably the actual item sought, was to run in Intel-Mac.
While that software maker, should have one for M1 underway.
Glad to see that Rosetta2 works for you.
There are several things in M1 that can
be helped along through using Recovery.
One of a few things doesn't need that is this:

Unlike 'Intel-based' Mac, Recovery allows M1
access to do much more, behind the curtain.
My Mac continually says I need to connect to the internet every time I try and install Rosetta 2, even when I’m connected to wifi. I have tried installing it on different wifi connections but every time it says it’s unable to install. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks
Maybe try doing this from Safe Mode - Shift - Immediately at Startup. There might be some Non Apple Applications interfering with the process?
Thanks for your help! I don't know why it wasn't letting me install Rosetta but I tried again today through just opening an application that requires it and it worked.
