I can't reinstall high sierra in recovery mode it only shows the error code -6002F or -6002U

I reformatted my 17inch macbook pro 2011 because it was acting really weird and I can't reinstall high sierra in recovery mode. I've tried using the command+option+r and shift+command+option+r key commands but after a few seconds of loading it would only show a globe icon with a exclamation mark and the words. "apple.com/support -6002F(sometimes -6002U)". I've also tried multiple times to reinstall high sierra in the recovery mode but it says "recovery server could not be contacted".


I've made sure the time and date is correct and my internet is connected but I still have this problem.


Here are some additional information:

I don't know if it's a hardware issue or if it's a software issue because prior to reformatting it, my macbook acts weird my applications crashes like chrome and league of legends and it shuts down automatically without any signs it's shutting down.


I hope someone see's this and has a solution because I've been trying for days to get this to work because I need it for my university studies. I would gladly appreciate any insight or help thank you!

MacBook Pro 17″, macOS 10.13
