Remove wireless info from macOS recovery mode on Apple Sillicon I have a MacBook Air that has been connected to my WiFi network temporarily to configure it. I've removed the WiFi netwerk in macOS and the Mac wil not reconnect to the WiFi upon restart. But when I start the Mac in recovery mode, the WiFi network connection is back again! And even worse, after restarting in macOS, the Mac automatically connects to the WiFi network. Resetting NVRAM/PRAM does not work on these kind of Macs. What can I do to make this Mac forget it has ever been connected to this WiFi network?

No wifi icon found to Activate Mac How can I get on a wifi network without the wifi icon on top right corner? I just factory reset my MacBook Pro that runs on Venture. After the computer automatically restarted the system to reactivate the Mac, however, I found out that there was no WiFi icon on the recovery screen that was supposed to be in the upper right corner with other icons. I had the same issue before and I can’t remember how I managed to complete the process. If you know what to do, could you please kindly let me know. Thank you.

Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac Was that method used as per Apple ?

How to reinstall macOS Was this method used ? In this step you will have to watch for the Wifi icon to appear during the boot up process and then Manually input the Wifi Password.
