I unplugged everything, shut down the computer, rebooted the router and when it came back to life, I plugged in the cable to the router, then to the Netgear Gigabit switch, and from there to the ultra. Xfinity is our primary and I plugged the Cat 6 cable into the ethernet port on the Ultra. In the past, bringing any new machine on line was as simple as giving people the correct password. Just for fun, I also have Century Link as a backup provider on a totally different router/modem, which functions as internet access wifi for our guests. I have Xfinity Gigabit internet with the Xfinity supplied modem. The transfer worked fine, UNTIL I tried to connect the Ultra first to my ethernet, and then to my wifi system. Both machines were running Monterey 12.4. I set it up using Migration Assistant from a 2020 iMac 5k. Mac Studio Ultra Ethernet and Wifi Connection Issues? Just received my Mac Studio Ultra two days ago. I have already provided feedback to apple about this, they really need to think about integrating voiceover feedback in that part of the EFI firmware. Well anyway, I did some more research, and I found a Thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, and I wanted to ask before I bought it, would that adapter work for internet recovery? Would it recognize the Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter that is connected and automatically start downloading the recovery software from the Internet recovery server? Again, I'm only asking this because that would bypass tha choose a network screen, which voiceover does not read, and I wanted to ask to make sure it would work before I buy it. The only reason I know all of this is because my Mom, who is sighted, told me that's what was happening. I tried purchasing the usb to Ethernet adapter, and tried using an Ethernet cable with that to see if internet recovery could recognize that it was connected, but it didn't, it still said, choose a network.
I was able to remedy this problem with my old macbook pro from 2011 because it had a built in Ethernet port. Because of that I cannot choose the network because voiceover can't tell me what is on the screen.
The problem is, voiceover doesn't work at that screen in internet recovery that says, choose a network. Because I am blind, I have to be able to use voiceover in order to use a mac, without voiceover I would not be able to use the computer at all. When you first start internet recovery, you get a screen that says, choose a network. I often times do clean installs of Mac oS to troubleshoot problems I'm having, even just to restore the computer to default settings using internet recovery. I am blind, but never the less I work on and fix computers for a living.
