Installing Big Sur

I have tried many times to install Big Sur and just as it looks like it will complete, I get a message that says "you must have an internet connection to complete this", which is ridiculous, because I've been connected the whole time. What can I do?

Hello, 2020AppleChange.


Connect your Mac to your router with an ethernet cable instead of wirelessly. It'll probably make a world of difference.

Wireless connections often fail in this task.
