Make sure that your Mac can connect to the Internet. If you're not prompted to choose a Wi-Fi network during startup, move your pointer to the top of the screen, then choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu , if available.
Press Command-R at startup to try using the built-in Recovery system instead of Internet Recovery.
Connect to the Internet using Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi, or vice versa.
Connect to the Internet from a different Wi-Fi or Ethernet network. Your network configuration might not allow the Internet access that macOS Recovery needs.
Try again later, because the issue might be temporary.
Start up from another disk or volume, if available, or use a bootable installer to reinstall macOS.
