Well it won’t have to “start over” in that it’s already caught up on a lot of the chain but yah, give it more patience. Check back in 3-4days to see if you’re still having issues. In the meantime you might need to use a custodial or other solution for transactions. 

 Yeah I think I just need more patience. I just realized that it's running on ancient onboard wifi from like 2010. I might not have plugged in the ethernet 🙈 

 Yup, give it more time - I just went through this same scary scenario with MyNode. Stressed for a day - moved on to another project and couple days later it was fine.
