Unable to sign into App Store after wiping clean SSD

I have a mid 2013 MacBook Air, I just wiped the hard drive, erasing everything all the way back to having to install OS X Mountain Lion. I have installed and when I go to update it says “unable to connect to App Store”. I am unable to sign in to App Store, what do I do?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

Boot Recovery using Option-Command-R and install the newest version of macOS you can get.


Not the oldest.

See if that works better.
