Set preferred activities to improve Wi-Fi performance
With Google Nest Wifi Pro, Nest Wifi, and Google Wifi devices, your network can focus its bandwidth on activities that need a faster connection to the internet, such as video conferencing. This helps these activities receive preference over other activities on your home network.
This setting is on by default but isn't active unless one of your devices is performing one of your preferred activities.

Preferred activities remain prioritized for your network until you turn them off. If you also set a priority device, 70% of your bandwidth is reserved for that device. This may slow down your other devices and preferred activities if sufficient bandwidth isn't available from your ISP for other devices.
