If you are using systemd-networkd[0], you may be
able to add an After=systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
as it waits for all the interfaces to be configured
(i.e. dhcp et.al. completes, unless you mark the
interface as not being required for online status),
or you may alternatively be able to add an
After=systemd-time-wait-sync.service as it will
not complete until ntp sync completes (I believe
it supports both chrony and systemd-timesyncd),
which typically requires network access (unless you
have a disciplined local hardware clock)  You also
have to enable those services, of course.


[0] Which has advantages and disadvantages
compared to NetworkManager.
