That particular -2002F error seems to correlate with bad DNS numbers.


While in Safe Mode, check the settings in:


System preferences > network > Wi-Fi > (advanced) > DNS ...


they should not be Zero, and should not simply be a repeat of your Router address.

Settings changed in Safe Mode will "stick" in regular mode.

These are the ones I use, from OpenDNS:

You do not paint a very big picture...


In General—


Power Cycle your router

Disable any VPN or Proxy servers you are using

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus


Do a safe boot if necessary  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot as normal and test as caches get rebuilt.
