I've erased my disk so I don't have an OS to boot to. I used a personal hotspot to activate the mac but after that the wifi icon is gone and I can't change the wifi anymore. I don't have an ethernet connection either and I don't have a USB to create a bootable disk. Is there any way for me to change the wifi so I don't have to download the entire OS with my personal hotspot?
Seems like a dilemma. An idea may be to use the Time Machine backup
on an external USB drive, of your Mac's system. That would be automatic
and backup its own external drive(s).
• Use macOS Recovery on a Mac with Apple silicon - Apple Support
The wi-fi should be enabled through keyboard options, at startup.
Perhaps another participant may see this, and offer a resolution.
