network error
Data transmission breakdown
A network error is a failure in communication between connected devices or systems—when data can't travel from one point to another as intended.
The term covers everything from a dropped Wi-Fi signal to server timeouts to DNS failures.
In everyday use, network error is the message you see when a webpage won't load or an app can't connect: I keep getting a network error when I try to send the file.
The cause may be on your end, the server's end, or anywhere in between.
