- Unable to recognize voice commands despite proper setup
- Device doesn't respond to Hey Google wake phrase

- Position the device within reasonable range of wireless access point
- Reduce number of connected devices on same network if experiencing slowdowns
- Consider mesh network system for larger homes with coverage issues
