Reinstalled OS for MacBook Air no Wi-fi option

If no interfaces are appearing in System Information > Network > Wi-Fi, then your Mac does not recognize any that exist. This could be a hardware issue ... but before trying to tackle that, let's see if you can add the Wi-Fi interface via System Settings > Network

Is Wi-Fi listed? If not, select the "down arrow" on the ellipsis button near the bottom right-hand side. Select "Add Service..." For Interface, select "Wi-Fi." Then select "Create."

Were you successful creating the Wi-Fi service? Did it default to the name "Wi-Fi" or "Wi-Fi 2?"

Sorry, but if you are having issues with Apple beta software, we can't help you here. You should know this as you were told this when you decided to sign up to run a beta.

On the other hand, if you have completely erased your Mac's internal drive, effectively removing the beta, and installed macOS Ventura, we can try to assist you with this.

... and in that case, did you follow the steps in these support articles?

• For an Intel Mac: Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac - Apple Support

Ok, give the following a try:

• In Terminal, enter the following command: ifconfig -a The result should be a listing of all of your Mac's interfaces. Are there ones listed as "en0" & "en1?" Typically, en0 would be the Mac's Ethernet port; whereas en1 would be Wi-Fi. For Macs that don't come with a physical Ethernet port, Wi-Fi may be en0.
• If they appear, enter this command so we can get the details for that port: ifconfig -m en0

An operational Wi-Fi interface would have the first line read something like the following:

Start in Safe mode to exclude non apple software problems

Shift (⇧): Start up in safe mode.

Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

Shift (⇧): Start up in safe mode.

Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

Run Apple Hardware test

D: Start up to the Apple Diagnostics utility. Or use Option-D to start up to this utility over the interne

Ok, let's see if you can change its status to "active."

To do so, while still in the Terminal, enter the following command: sudo ifconfig en0 inet up

Note that sudo will require that you enter the Mac's Administrator account's password.

Looks like you need to make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. Alternately, you can contact Apple Support directly for further assistance with this matter. To do so, simply select the "Support" link on the lower left hand side of this forum's web page. Sorry that I couldn't help you with a solution. Good luck!

If I understood your post, you now have macOS Ventura running on your Mac, but you are still not able to connect the Mac to your local Wi-Fi ... correct?

If so, see if the following article can help:

Ok, thanks. I just noticed that your tagline states that your Mac is running 14.4. Is that correct? If so, were you running a beta version of macOS Sonoma, as the very latest release is 14.3.1, when this started to happen?

FYI ... PPP020 would indicate that no power adapter was detected or one that does not supply an adequate amount of power.

Make sure that you're using the correct power adapter, disconnect the power adapter from the computer and wall outlet, then reconnect. Run the test again.

Since you got Wi-Fi back in Recovery mode, tells us that there is no current issue with the AirPort Wi-Fi on your Mac ... but, we still need to know why macOS cannot detect it, nor allow us to add it back.
