      If your John Lewis Radio cannot connect to the network, it might be due to several reasons. First, verify that your network is functioning correctly between the router and the appliance. If the signal strength is insufficient, try moving the radio closer to the router to improve connectivity. Also, the encryption method used by your router might not be compatible; Octave supports WEP and WPA2, so consider changing the encryption method on your router. Finally, if you have an unusual network configuration, set up the connection manually through Menu settings > Network > Manual.
