What a coincidence! A friend who is running Ubuntu 18.04 in his laptop
also had the same problem. The update manager said that there is no
Internet when there was a working Internet connection.
So, I just opened the terminal for him, and typed
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
and run the update through the Terminal, and it worked.
I am not running Ubuntu 18.04, but I suspect there was some kind of
regression or new bug introduced in last update. This is just a guess
based on my friend's and your experience.

When I run Software Updater on one of my Ubuntu 18.04 machines
(ENU-1). In April, 2018, I installed Ubuntu MATE 18.04. At some point,
alas not documented, I switched to XFCE. In May, 2019, I installed
Xubuntu 18.04 on my other desktop machine (ENU-2), and migrated to it
for daily use. ENU-1 just sits over on the other desk and quietly
runs. I never got around to moving my in-house web setup to ENU-2, so
ENU-1 is doing something. But usually I just forget that it's there.
Today I wanted to change something on an in-house web page and looked
at its monitor. There was a notice of software upgrades being
available. I did the change I needed to do, and then tried to run
Software Updater. I get an error message:
Failed to download repository information
Check your Internet connection.
The Internet connection is fine.
The error dialog box has a button for Settings. After stepping through
all the tabs, but not seeing anything useful, I closed the Settings
box, and the main Software Updater box filled up with all the stuff
that needs updating. I click on Install Now, the box briefly changes
to the one that shows progress of the install, but then disappears. No
further error message.
Where do I start to troubleshoot this?
Thanks.
