So what do you do if you have an important work call that obviously takes precedence over a video game?

Well, if you have Google Nest Wi-Fi you can actually assign a priority device.

This means that one designated gadget will get the fastest connection.

Technically speaking, it forces your Wi-Fi network to set aside more bandwidth for the chosen device to use.

So, less buffering and better download speeds.

You’ll need a Google Nest Wi-Fi hub to do this though.

They start from about £60 on Amazon – click here to buy one.

How to set a priority device with Nest Wi-Fi

Ensure you have the Google Home app installed.

Open it and tap Wi-Fi.

Under ‘Devices’, tap Set priority device.

You’ll see a list of connected gadgets and can select the one you want to prioritise.

You can only prioritise it for a certain amount of time.

So set how long you’d like it prioritised for below then tap Save.
