Help and advice

I am having trouble connecting to my network

Your radio cannot connect to wireless networks that are hidden or access controlled, such as •
office networks, without a WEP, WPA or WPA2 key or password (see Quickstart Guide for more
information).

Your radio needs to be positioned within the range of your wireless network, which will be •
reduced if there are walls between your router and radio. Although Oasis Flow is very good at
picking up wireless networks, the strength of the Wi-Fi signal will vary depending on your router
and the surrounding environment. If Oasis Flow fails to find your wireless network, or the signal
drops off, move the radio closer to the router.

Unless your network is ‘open’ (this is generally not recommended due to the risk of •
unauthorized access), make sure you have your WEP, WPA or WPA2 key to hand.
