When this guide applies

Exact KEF LS50 Wireless II. Existing working network; user-initiated network check, not a claimed Audio Review measurement or an interspeaker cable remedy. Only normal external user controls; no mains modification, chassis opening, reset or firmware installation.

Connection scope: Wi-Fi / Ethernet network audio. Symptom: Audio keeps cutting out.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
