Reinstalling the macOS:
A. Use Ethernet:
In Internet Recovery Mode (intel or silicon), if WiFi is not working, then use an Ethernet connection. If you have no ethernet port, then this is the adapter to use: The Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple
B. Use a USB Bootable Installer:
If Internet Recover Mode will not work, then another option is to use a USB Bootable Installer. Purchasing it off of the Internet (i.e. eBay, or Amazon, or CraigsLists) is not advised, as it may contacting spyware and the like in the install. So, create it using a different Mac.
