How do I fix “Sonos needs local network access for setup. In iOS settings, tap Local Network, then return to the Sonos app.”
I open the settings and local network is already ticked, I have turned it off and on again I have deleted the app and nothing seems to work

    I’m having the same issue. Permission is already granted, but the app keeps asking for it. Nothing about my system has changed other than updating the app to the latest release.

              This worked for me in this order:
              1. Reset the sonos beam 

              1. Delete the app
              2. Restart your phone
              3. Install the app
              4. Follow the installation instruction

              Same issue here! Tried to add a new Arc to my existing system. Just a very expensive paperweight

                  Same issue (no recognition that the network radio button is on within the app controls on iPhone 15), and reported it through the help chat (with a human not a bot). He could not help but said that engineering is working on the fix. If anyone knows a work-around, please let us know here. Thank you.

                    Same issue. I’ve reset my router, reset the Beam, deleted the app and reinstalled it and keep getting stuck here.
