Don't really have a suggestion except if it takes network logins, then the network administrators will be able to log in to set the wifi password or get a USB to Ethernet adaptor. That will work also if you don't have a T-bolt to Ethernet adaptor available. Kevin Grabher Kevin Grabher 7, 1 1 gold badge 22 22 silver badges 33 33 bronze badges. This does not work for me.

Once connected via Ethernet, login that way using your network account first.
Don't worry, we only need to this for the first logon. Click the lock icon to unlock it and enter an admin username and password. Next, you want to connect to your WiFi network. Once you're logged onto the WiFi successfully for the first time, that should be enough to get you logged into your WiFi at the login screen, without the need for an Ethernet connection every time.

Your Mac can monitor your Wi-Fi connection for intermittent issues, such as dropped connections. During monitoring, a window shows that monitoring is in progress. Monitoring continues as long as this window is open and you're on the same Wi-Fi network, even when your Mac is asleep.
If Wireless Diagnostics finds an issue, it stops monitoring and shows a brief description of the issue. You can then resume monitoring or continue to the summary for details and recommendations. Wireless Diagnostics automatically saves a diagnostics report before it displays its summary.
You can create the same report at any time: press and hold the Option key, then choose Create Diagnostics Report from the Wi-Fi status menu. It can take your Mac several minutes to create the report. A network specialist can examine them for further analysis. Wireless Diagnostics includes additional utilities for network specialists. Open them from the Window menu in the Wireless Diagnostics menu bar:. Learn about other ways to connect to the Internet.
