I have a 2018 MBP and have been trying to do a clean install of either Mojave or Catalina using a bootable USB. Regardless of what I try (resetting PRAM/NVRAM, removing my device from iCloud/FindyMy/other devices/etc) I ultimately end up with the -1008F error. Recovery mode always forces me to log in to a wifi network and I am never able to access the MacOS Utility window (even tried Safe Mode hoping to get to the MacOS utility). Please someone help, I am at my wits end. Fortunately I have not formatted my drive so can still use my MBP but I ultimately need to do a clean install of my OS.
