Why won't my note 8 set up after factory reset

[Android Central Question]

I did a factory reset and now when I try to go through the set up process it won't connect to Google servers. It said that so many times I had to keep trying it now its saying because of abnormal factory reset I need a eifo connection, but it won't connect to the server so I can log in to my account and verify it's mine!

Are you sure you're spelling that 'eifo connection' right? It needs something, but if you give us the wrong word, we can't know what it's saying, so we can't help you.

If you did the factory reset through recovery you will need the last Google account that was signed in with unless it was deleted off the phone before the recovery reset, that's my understanding anyway

NOT that we should have to guess, but I bet he meant to type WiFi.
