Once done, you can also disable Wi-Fi from the Mac Control Center and enable it after some time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Restart Router<\/strong>: If your home or office Wi-Fi doesn&#8217;t show up on all your smart devices, your router can be the main culprit here. A simple restart should fix the issue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Update Router Firmware<\/strong>: An outdated router firmware can also put a damper on an otherwise productive day. That said, note that the steps to update router firmware differ from one OEM to another. You can visit your router company\u2019s official website to learn the steps. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confirm an Outage With ISP<\/strong>: If your local internet service provider is facing a server-side outage, you may have issues finding a Wi-Fi network on a Mac. You can head to <a href=\"https:\/\/downdetector.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Downdetector<\/a> and search for your ISP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Fix Mac Not Showing Wi-Fi Network | Why is Mac Not Showing Wi-Fi Networks?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EITAM6NMyyU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fix-1-reset-pram\">Fix 1: Reset PRAM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resetting PRAM deletes your Mac\u2019s current state information and reverts your Mac to default settings. It resets display resolution, sound, time zone, and more. Here\u2019s what you need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shut down your Mac. Next, hit the <strong>power<\/strong> button and press down the <strong>Command + Option + P + R <\/strong>keys for around 20 seconds.
