Any ideas?

Many thanks

Strange one, could be the wifi module has gone. How old is it?

Are you anywhere near the router, could try plugging in an ethernet cable, at least could get you back online.

When you go sys preferences -> Network, what do you see.

Could try booting up into apple diagnostics https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guid...lp/mh35727/mac
