Internet Connection Error Issues while Installing Applications

"You are offline, some experiences may be unavailable"

Experiencing this error repeatedly as I'm installing applications from CC. It's strange because the connection was perfectly fine a few hours earlier while installing photoshop & illustrator. Currently trying to install AE and this error keeps happening. It would be connected, AE set to "waiting" and then the computer suddenly goes offline.

So far I've tried:
- Checking my connection to adobe using links found on a help page

- Checking firewall (already disabled)

- Using the downloadable app that is available to reset hosts file (0 host files to fix found)

- Manually reset hosts file (nothing needed to reset)

- Search for GlobalSign Root CA in key utilities - activated, enabled, no issues found.

Essentially I've gone through the entire checklist in https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html

And I still have connection issues. Any other possible help I can get regarding this? Or is this really just my internet being bad all of a sudden.
