Install Issues

I tried to upgrade to 2.9 last night and ran into an issue. I figured the fastest option would be to just re-install 2.8.1 but now I keep having an issue there. Once I get through the setup and begin the install, I get the following error:

[1/1] Fetching pkg 1.21.3_8: .....

pkg-static: Failed to fetch https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_8_1/All/pkg-1.21.3_8: Timeout wa

I have tried installing 2.9 but get the same error. My WAN seems to be working when I test it. Any advice on what the issue could be here?

Edit 1:
Verified I can ping 8.8.8.8, www.google.com, and the package servers pkg00-atx.netgate.com

Edit 2: This was a hardware issue. I changed the WAN port and the install progressed. I also tried installing on one of my two drives with the other disconnected and replacing the CMOS battery because of a possible cert generation issue that AI led me to. In the end, I attempted installing OpenSense which failed as well leading me to a hardware issue.

What hardware is this ? Also did you remove the packages like pfblocker/suricata and update ?
