When installing macOS High Sierra, it says unable to contact the recovery server?
The thing is, I changed the SSD to a new one. Because the old one began to warm up and fell into disrepair! When trying to install MacOs High Sierra from the Internet, an error occurred “Unable to contact the recovery server” What should I do? I don't have a backup

I have the same error.
There is a network - addresses on the Internet are pinged and resolved normally.
Upd:
I found a solution: open the terminal (it is also in recovery mode) and write there:ntpdate -u time.apple.com
I had this problem, a year could not solve it. Over time, everything was fine.
But then I still found the problem, it's an incorrect (overwritten) hosts file.
Some kind of activator ruined it. Returned hosts to the original value and the problem was solved.
Enter the command in the terminal:
ntpdate -u time.apple.com
And everything will be fine)
The request to the recovery server has timed out, sharing my experience
