macOS command to add back Wi-Fi service

Acknowledgements: Hat tip to Eric Hemmeter on the MacAdmins Slack for this command.


If you want a command that will add back the Wi-Fi service if you deleted it and now want it back, here it is:

networksetup -createnetworkservice Wi-Fi en1

That’s assuming the output of

networksetup -listallhardwareports

has a hardware port of Wi-Fi with its device being en1 (could be en0, for example).
