| When should I prioritize the internet connection for my device? | On the Priority page, a message will appear recommending that the Priority feature be turned OFF if the internet speed is 200 Mbps or greater since the bandwidth is sufficient for your devices.

| The Linksys app failed to set up my parent node.

Wait until the light is solid blue meaning that your router has completed setup, you can then link your router to your Linksys cloud account. |
