ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I recently installed Plasma 5 on my Raspberry Pi 4 and expected a complete disaster. I was pleasantly surprised when it worked great until I attempted to use the Update function in Discover. That's when I received the network connection error. I found Plasma 5 to be impressive and would like to stick with it for now. I'm  new to Linux and going through a steep learning curve.  After some initial research, I found that that it may be an issue with the systemd-resolved service. 

evoleye@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl status systemd-resolved
● systemd-resolved.service - Network Name Resolution
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-resolved.service; >
     Active: inactive (dead)
       Docs: man:systemd-resolved.service(8)
             man:org.freedesktop.resolve1(5)
             https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/writ>
             https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/writ>
lines 1-7/7 (END)

Of course I'm probably way off base here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Do other network services work? For example can you download new themes in System Settings > Global Themes > Get new Global Themes? If not, I would suspect it is a deeper issue like the one you pointed to, yeah.

Is it possible that it's not using NetworkManager? It's what PackageKit uses to check for connectivity. What distro did you try?
