Deleted WiFi as an interface and I can’t get it back

I accidentally deleted the wifi as an interface from the network settings in an attempt to get my wifi service to be working. But now I cannot add it back. Could you please let me know how to configure this ASAP?? Without internet my MacBook is useless. I am a university student so I need internet to finish my assignments and research papers.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Another 'wired adapter' would be used, when wi-fi does not function.


Depending on the MacBook/Air version, adapters from port to option

may be found and used to complete this idea. ~ Maybe via Ethernet?

(USB-C adapter, or Hub; to Ethernet? Depends on what they've got.)

Recovery in most instances to restore system requires internet;

or could be achieved with local backups: Time Machine + Clone.


Also saw the discrepancy of the first reply, to this scenario, too.

Nearly a month late. Wonder if suitable 'work-around' was found?


Take care & good luck!🌻|🐝
