Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

System Settings>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Network in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
Click the Action pop-up menu on the right, then choose Set Service Order.
Drag services into the order you want.
Click OK.

The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

System Settings>Network>choose interface>Advanced>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.

System Setttings>Network, click a network service on the right, click Details, then click DNS. (You may need to scroll down.)

Most likely that means that there is a problem with your modem/router. Try resetting it. Also, check your connection. Are you using Ethernet or Wi-Fi? Are you able to send and receive emails?

+1 Please unplug both the modem & router from power for 2-3 minutes and then restart them, wait about 5 minutes to allow them to fully boot.Then reattempt to connect the Mac .

Tried all that. Using Wi-Fi. Upgraded to a new router and modem. As with old set up my i-mac will shows I'm connected to the internet, but when I try to get on the internet my browsers can not connect. After a while it will connect.... I am using a old usb hub that needed a usb 3 to c adapter to connect to my i-mac. I all so can not send mail or receive mail when this happens. If I go to Wi-Fi setting and click on my network it will try to connect to the internet and give me a ! sign.
