The last update to Mac Mini M1 Monterrey broke my wifi connection to our verizon router which had worked perfectly until the update. So, now I can't even get support or connect to apple support!!!!

The last update to my Mac Mini M1 Monterrey broke wifi so bad, I can't even sign into the internet to get apple to fix the **** thing. I'm writing this on my ancient mac, but this is garbage. What the **** am I supposed to do with it now? Take it to the apple store? I'm sure their wifi will work just fine. Mine doesn't. No, I'm not upgrading it.


I'll find a way to connect the **** thing with an ethernet cable and forget about wifi, that's what

Mac mini, macOS 12.6

Suggest working through the 7 Steps Trouble Shooting Plan below and work from first to next until reaching Step 7


1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


5 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.


6 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.


7 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.


This is a Diagnostic Tool that makes no changes to the computer.


It makes a coherent and readable inventory of both the Hardware and Software used on the computer 


The application is free or paid from added features. 


The Report will Not Reveal Any Personal Information.
