Mac mini looping in restart mode with internet connection error

mac mini keeps looping in restart mode. Screen shows icon of mouse and then exclamation mark stating "an internet connection is required to verify this startup disk." Internet is working fine on other devices and mini shows connected too. Rebooted, disconnected devices and rebooted, did repair to each disk in disk utilities. Still loops in startup. Help!

Exactly which Mac mini model and year?

Which macOS version is installed?


You can try starting the Mac in safe mode.

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support 


Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior. When you're in safe boot, the machine won’t be at its best performance, especially with graphics, but that's expected.


You can exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally, then reevaluate the problem.
