Mac bootlooping into recovery mode, not showing wifi

Currently my Mac is suffering a problem where it goes into recovery mode asks for password and then asks for WiFi…

The problem is, there is no wifi menu in the menu bar and I can’t get Ethernet.


i can’t exit recovery mode, after restarting it takes me back to recovery assistant.

Fixed the problem.


Went to Erase Mac, plugged in my MacBook to iMac and turned on INTERNET SHARING. After that it was easy.


The solution was right there the entire time

A workaround clicking on the Recovery Assistant and erasing the mac. This time during reboot will prompt the same activation screen with a wifi logo.
