Hi all!
I just downgraded from Catalina Beta and was fresh installing my macOS that came with my mac. However, whenever I try to get into internet recovery, this error happens. Happens every time I do it, no matter what combo of keys.
Thoughts?

Using a Local Connection: Connect Via Ethernet
With the intent of a successful download, obtain and use a faster DTR (Data Transmission Rate) via use of an Ethernet cable (hardwire you Mac to your router's Ethernet port). Doing so, you will have a more reliable source of connection. Moreover, when it comes to the Ethernet cable, be certain you are using a strait-though cable, and not a crossover cable. Also, reset your router, if need be.
If there is no Ethernet Port available, thee use either of these:
That means a timeout. Either it can't connect to the internet or it considers the connection too slow and it times out. How are you connecting to the internet? WiFi is fine if it doesn't need an approval screen (like at a cafe), but a WiFi password is fine. Ethernet is usually best, but for some Macs it would require an adapter.
In Internet Recovery, these low negative thousands error messages indicate that your provided Wi-Fi Network is inadequate in some fashion, and cannot be used (for this purpose) in its current state.
Common problems include:
Hidden Network-name
required use of a proxy server to get Internet access
required use of a login page to get Internet access
Use of a login server or certificate to get Internet access
Use of PPPoE in the Mac to get Internet access (typically only applies to DSL)
Use of Fixed IP address rather than good old DHCP
Variance of the time by more than five minutes
Failure of Router to provide workable DNS server addresses, or providing 0.0.0.0 [may produce -2002f]
If you have an Ethernet port, you may in some cases be able to move your Mac close to the Router and connect to the Router using Ethernet.
The higher the number, the more obscure the problem.
Also, make certain the Date&Time and Time Zone are correct within 5 minutes.
<<Moreover, when it comes to the Ethernet cable, be certain you are using a strait-though cable, and not a crossover cable. >>
This has not been a requirement for more than a decade. Either verity of cable will do.
Tried LAN and here’s a new error code:
For assuredness, I'm always using a straight through, that way I have for other devices. I left that part out.
