Macbook - No Wi-Fi Interface / Option

Hello!


I recognized that on my macbook AIR device didn't connect with my WiFi anymore. I didn't anything before it happens.


I searched for ways on how to fix it, and everyone say "add interface WiFi" This is the actually problem. I didn't any option to add as a interface that name as WiFi. Also it appers in Safe Mode too.


I couldn't connect also there.


Now my Macbook doesn’t have the Wi-Fi option when i try to add it.


It only has the, Bluetooth.


As a interface; Thunderbolt Bridge, Thunderbolt 1, BluetoothPAN, VPN, PPPoE, 6to4 but the Wi-Fi isn’t there. Screenshots in attachment below.


Hoping to get a response ASAP.


Thank you!





MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.3

Hello brbo!


Thanks for caring.


I did it before posted there. And Screenshot 1 (https://discussions.apple.com/content/attachment/15c010c1-824c-4569-8036-1867794289e9) in my first post, describes exactly happened when I clicked the + button (System preferences > Network > Left column) There is no WiFi item in interface menu :(

Wondering which operating system you have on your MacBook Air,

and which version (year / screen size) the MacBook Air is.


Some things you might want to try:

  • Turn wifi off, wait a few seconds, turn back on, and it should search for a connection.
  • Turn the modem/router off, wait a moment, turn back on / check for wifi on MacBook Air.
  • Shut down, and/ or Restart MacBook Air, and check the Network settings / wifi panel again.
  • If Bluetooth is on, turn off Bluetooth on MacBook Air, and check Network settings again.
  • Ensure MacBook Air is not too far away from modem/router, and nothing is blocking the signal.


Something here may help :)

  • Turn wifi off, wait a few seconds, turn back on, and it should search for a connection.

I tried but the things that never changed...

  • Turn the modem/router off, wait a moment, turn back on / check for wifi on MacBook Air.

I tried also this too.

  • Shut down, and/ or Restart MacBook Air, and check the Network settings / wifi panel again.

And this one too.

  • If Bluetooth is on, turn off Bluetooth on MacBook Air, and check Network settings again.

OMG!!! IT'S HAPPENED. IT'S WORKING NOW. OMG. <3<3<3 :D
