"Cannot Connect to WiFi in Recovery Mode: Thank you for your help! I somehow found a solution: I looked up my computer's MAC address then registered it in the college's network as a secondary device, then joined the network that way. Ventura is installing right now! Thank you for your help anyways!"

You are welcome.

"Cannot Connect to WiFi in Recovery Mode: [...]I recently bought a secondhand Macbook Pro M2 and I erased the hard drive. I ended up erasing the OS too apparently and so I'm now trying to reinstall the most updated OSX. However, I seem unable to connect to WiFi [...] Maybe this is because I'm on my college's WiFi network? Is there anything I can do or try?"
