Hi mattgootz,
Welcome to the Apple Community, where some of us do our best to help each other troubleshoot.
Wondering
- if wi-fi has been in use and has dropped out,
- is being connected for the first time.
- which version of MacBook Pro (Year)
- which OS (eg: Big Sur) is installed
If it is on, you might want to try turning off Bluetooth, then see if wi-fi networks become available.
If you still need help:
You can try:
- turning your modem on and off.
- restarting your MacBook Pro.
- checking system preferences > network to ensure wi-fi is listed there. (add it, if not)
- checking with your wi-fi provider that all is in order.
Apple support have a helpful article online:
