Why can't I sign in with Google Accounts with a Huawei P8 Lite?

[AC Question]

I have just purchased a Huawei P8 Lite today and have tried to set it up, despite establishing a Wifi connection it says it is still having problems connecting with the Google Servers and cannot sign in. It has been like this for the past half an hour. Can anyone help at all?

Regards,

Ben
