After doing a factory reset, the "Activate Mac" screen is asking me to "select wi-fi network from the menu or attach a network cable to proceed."
There is nowhere on the screen for me to select a wifi network.
At this time I can't access my Mac. The "next" option is greyed out.
Can anyone help?
MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
It also says or attach a network cable to proceed. Did you try the cable and what happens when you select next?
Connect your Mac to the internet using Ethernet - Apple Support (CA)

Activating After Reset:
Putting WiFi aside, use Ethernet. This is the adapter to use on a M1 Mac: The Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple
Is your router/gateway turned on and operating with other devices?
It may help to reboot your network...most times, this can be accomplished by unplugging the router/gateway for a minute or two, then plugging it back in and waiting for approx 3-5 minutes for the network to reboot.
After doing so, power cycle the Mac and see if it will then find your Wi-Fi network.

I don't have an adapter to plug in the cord. All I have are USB C ports.
Thank you for your follow up. I am currently with an apple specialist at my local Apple store!
