Failed to start up MacBook Pro from recovery after erasing all the disks

I have a 2019 MacBook Pro that I accidentally erased all of the disks from and now it will not start up again. I turn it on and press Command + R which brings me to a spinning glove with an option to sign into wifi. Once I sign into the wifi it turns into a globe with a warning symbol in the middle and the following code below the globe: -2006F. Has anyone experienced this before or know how to fix it?

<< -2006F. >>

In Internet Recovery, these low negative thousands error messages indicate that your provided Wi-Fi Network is inadequate in some fashion, and cannot be used (for this purpose) in its current state.

Common problems include:

Hidden Network-name

required use of a proxy server to get Internet access

required use of a login page to get Internet access

Use of a login server or certificate to get Internet access

Use of PPPoE in the Mac to get Internet access (typically only applies to DSL)

Use of Fixed IP address rather than good old DHCP

Variance of the time by more than five minutes

Failure of Router to provide workable DNS server addresses, or providing 0.0.0.0 [may produce -2002f]

If you have an Ethernet port, you may in some cases be able to move your Mac close to the Router and connect to the Router using Ethernet.

The higher the number, the more obscure the problem.
