Hi aprilg_68,
If a Wi-Fi icon doesn't appear in macOS Recovery (when Recovery Assistant is running), try the following:
- If you have an Ethernet adapter and cable, plug that in to your MacBook Air to establish an Internet connection.
- If your Mac has the M1 or M2 chip, shut down your Mac. Then, press, release, and immediately press and hold the power button (Touch ID) until Startup Options begins to load. Then, choose Options and click Continue. This process loads a backup copy of macOS Recovery that should hopefully function as expected and provide the Wi-Fi icon.
- If your Mac has an Intel processor, restart it while holding down Option-Command-R. This requests Internet Recovery, and you will be prompted to connect to a Wi-Fi network as part of the process.
