My MacBook Air has Wi-Fi but won’t connect to the internet. I’ve tried lots of solutions but none have helped. Is there a downside to backing up my computer then taking it back to the factory sessions and starting over as if it’s new?

No but it might not fix the problem. Review all the suggestions in Connect to the internet with your Mac - Apple Support first.
