[QUOTE="cburtt, post: 1806388, member: 343889"] Thanks, Farrarr, I remember reading about Safe Mode but didn't remembeer it in this circumstance. I read Apple's support pages and booted that way. it took about 10 minutes from power-on to login screen. The menu bar Wi-Fi icon still had the "X" and produced the same "No Hardware Installed" message. All ativities were very s l o w . I also read Apple's support about Reovery Mode and tried that. I ran recoveery's Disk-First Aid and on both partitions of the internal drive and no errors were reported and keyboard response was normal. I tried the "Get Help Online" and noticed that Safari was used to access the help pages(s). Safari? AhHa! I tried going to other URLs and sucessfully reached Bing, Google, Wikipedia, Yahoo, etc. My networking hardware works OK; the icon's message is 'fake news'. (In fact, I'm using the reovery utility's invocation of Safari to reach this forum and make this posting.) My issues must, therefore, be software related and not bad hardware. A corrupted Mojave? Should I use the recovery utility's "reinstall macOS" option to reinstall another copy of MacOS? But which one? The latest installed (Mojave), the latest compatable (High Sierra worked well), or the factory installed original (Sierra)? Any hints would be appreiated. BTW Bob: I run Time Machine 24/7 to an external disk. The moment these issues arose, I shut down and disonnected the T/M disk so as to avoid a corrupted bakup. The cable doesn't get reconneted until these issues are all fixed. [/QUOTE]
