Internet Recovery Not Working Error -2002F

I was trying to factory reset my mac and went to disk utility and erased the Macintosh HD but for some reason I thought there was a problem cause it still said the Macintosh HD was pretty much full and when it booted back it came up with the flashing folder so I assume the whole OS has been deleted. I tried internet recovery but it keeps getting stuck on the wifi and spinning globe then goes to error -2002F so I tried holding down option key and obviously no drives came up apart from internet recovery so I don’t know what to do. I don’t need anything on the computer so it’s fine to lose everything I just need this fixed!!
