Give a chosen device the fastest connection on your Wi-Fi network. Use the priority device setting in the Google Home app for Nest Wifi Pro, Nest Wifi, or Google Wifi. When you prioritize a device, your Wi-Fi network reserves more bandwidth for that device to use. This means less buffering and better download speeds.
You can set bandwidth preferences based on activity types. Learn how to optimize your network for latency sensitive activities.
- You can prioritize any device on your Wi-Fi network. This includes wired or wireless connections.
- You can prioritize only one device at a time.
- When you prioritize a device, it gets 70% of available bandwidth. All other devices share the remaining bandwidth.
If your internet service provider (ISP) doesn't supply enough bandwidth, this might limit the Wi-Fi speed of your other devices.
