Cannot Connect to WiFi in Recovery Mode Hello! I recently bought a secondhand Macbook Pro M2 and I erased the hard drive. I ended up erasing the OS too apparently and so I'm now trying to reinstall the most updated OSX. However, I seem unable to connect to WiFi -- the recovery thing can find the WiFi networks, but when I try to join it always says that it is unable and recommends that I move closer to the router. It didn't recognise my ethernet cable either (as in when I connected it it didn't show that it joined a network). Maybe this is because I'm on my college's WiFi network? Is there anything I can do or try? Thank you for your time!

Thank you for the photo.

If WiFi and Ethernet Won't Work:

Reset the SMC and NVRAM.
