Quick answer

Current answer

When the internet or Wi-Fi speeds on your Google Nest Wifi or Google Wifi are slow, it can affect the performance of all of your devices. Devices can include phones, tablets, computers, TVs, smart displays and speakers, and anything else connected to your Wifi router or points. Building materials and other objects located between your router and Wifi points or between your Wifi points and mobile devices may slow your connection. If possible, try to use your device within a clear line of sight to your router or point.
