    Hello jwjfromjersey,

    The first thing I would suggest is to turn your MacBook Air off, and recycle the power to your router, then modem (unless you have a combo modem/router).  Restart your MacBook and attach an ethernet cable to establish a wired connection to the internet.

    Once that is accomplished, try a wireless connection.  If the issue persists, try the steps in these resources:

    Check for Wi-Fi issues using your Mac

    If you are still having trouble connecting to a wireless network after trying these steps, please reply to this thread and we'll investigate further with you.

    Take care.
