ReInstalling High Sierra

Trying to reinstall High Sierra and have been on Internet Recovery loading for over an hour. What am I doing wrong?

Try rebooting the computer and trying again.


If you still have a problem, then reboot your router and wait for the router to finish booting before trying Internet Recovery Mode again.


Connect the computer directly to your router using an Ethernet cable to avoid any WiFi issues.


Does it get stuck while booting to Internet Recovery Mode or after you begin installing macOS after selecting "Reinstall macOS"?
