A Few Thoughts:

Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for Power) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM. Use a different external keyboard, if available option.


  • Use Ethernet (Hardwired-Connection)

Ethernet will allow for a reliable connection.


  • Install Via a USB Bootable Installer:

Try installing via a USB Bootable Installer.  Use a separate Mac to create one of these - use a 16GB flash drive. It is create in Terminal, with the correct drivers.
