Unable to verify update?

I am trying to update, but keep getting a “Unable to verify update”. It then tells me that it can’t verify because I’m not connected to the internet. Currently connected to WiFi and tried with LTE as well.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.1

Hello,

If you can’t reach the update server or can’t verify the update

If you try to update the iOS on your device, you might see one of these messages:

User uploaded file
"Unable to Check for Update. An error occurred checking for a software update."

User uploaded file
"Unable to Verify Update. iOS failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet."

Try updating your device again using the same network. If you still see one of these messages, try updating your device using another network or update your device with iTunes. If the issue happens again after trying to update with multiple networks, remove the update.
