Hi, networksetup -setairportnetwork en1 WiFi_Network_Name WiFi_Password Where en1 could be en0 depending on the kind of Mac you're using. Also, in Sierra, the "networksetup" terminal command is not available in Recovery mode due to some DHCP restrictions. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray,

Re: has anyone found a way to Connect to a wireless network in recovery using voiceover?

Hi, No, sorry if any of this was confusing. Brand is immaterial. All you need is the name of the network, it's password and the interface number. • when in Recovery mode, go up to the Utilities menu, down to Network Utility. In the Info tab, under the Interface pop-up, you can determine

It's been a while since I've done this but I know I've had to connect to wifi in recovery I thought it was automatically connected to the network but I'll have to have a look at it again to remind myself. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com

Re: has anyone found a way to Connect to a wireless network in recovery using voiceover?

hey, I could not find the password window, I just got that ridiculous language chooser thing. As I said, I am going to create a recovery disk witch should be better. If you have not wiped the drive and want to reinstall the system recovery will already be connected to your last wireless network,

I used to be able to use a cable connection when the modem was near me. I am going to circumvent this whole mess by making a recovery disk. > On 25 Feb 2017, at 12:14 am, David Griffith wrote: > > I know this may not be abailable to you but the awkwarrdness of this >

Re: has anyone found a way to Connect to a wireless network in recovery using voiceover?

Hi, Yes, it should be possible. Using the following command in Terminal will normally connect you to a WiFi network: networksetup -setairportnetwork en1 WiFi_Network_Name WiFi_Password Note that en1 refers to the WiFi card when there is no ethernet present, otherwise WiFi would be en0. You

Sometimes the dialog prompting for the password is behind the main window, pressing vo+F2 twice to open the window chooser menu will usually allow you to access it. Original message: hey, that i did not know but when i hit reinstall the system it just hung there and i could not put in my

Re: has anyone found a way to Connect to a wireless network in recovery using voiceover?

Hello, I’m thinking on the last time I did this. If I remember right, I think I hit VO M twice to get in the top menu bar where Wi-Fi is, and went right. I think VO said “Menu” or something like that, and then, I think I pressed VO Space on it, and VO down arrow, and then, I was able to read

Re: has anyone found a way to Connect to a wireless network in recovery using voiceover?

I know this may not be abailable to you but the awkwarrdness of this situation is why I always use a Ethernet cable connected to my router for the recovery process. Plugging any cable between Mac and router should guarantee connection. I do this with my iMac. I do not know if on later Macs in

Re: has anyone found a way to Connect to a wireless network in recovery using voiceover?

Hi, Actually, if your computer is connected to a specific network when in the MacOS, after you restart it into Recovery Mode, it will be connected to the same network. So, if you were on your Mac connected to Bob's WiFi Network, once you restart with cmd-r, it will remain connected to Bob's

Re: has anyone found a way to Connect to a wireless network in recovery using voiceover?

Hi Michael, So I am assuming you used Command R right and then did a recovery. Actually there are a couple different ways of acomplishing the task. Command R is great for VO users but not so great for putting a new copy of the OS on the computer. Command Option R is a better solution in this
