Troubleshooting

Step 1. Reboot your LINK device

1. Disconnect the power cable from your LINK device (300, 500 and VIEW) and for LINK 10 and LINK 20 simply turn the device "OFF". 
2. Reconnect power cable or turning the device ON for your LINK device. 

Step 2. Force close and relaunch the Google Home app      

1. From your Apple IOS device, do the following below:                   
   1. Press the Home button two times quickly. There will be a small preview of your recently used apps.      
   2. Select the app you want to close and swipe up towards the top of the screen.         
2. From your Android device, do the following below:              
   1. Launch the Recent Applications menu to see small previews of your recently used apps.                                 
   2. The Recent Apps button should be accessible at nearly any time along the bottom of the screen along with the other buttons on the virtual task bar.

Step 3. Check to see if the device is listed under “Ignored Devices” folder on the Devices tab      

1. Open the Google Home app.
2. In the top right corner of app home screen, tap Devices.
3. Scroll all the way down and make sure the LINK device is not listed under the Ignored Devices section.
4. NOTE: If you do not see any ignored devices, there is a chance that this section is not listed in the Google Home app.

Last thing to try​

If you are still experiencing issues with your LINK device not connecting to your Wireless network, then try the following:

1. Try finding another mobile device to set up your JBL LINK device, sometimes it can help connecting your LINK device.

2. Relocate your LINK device, or try to disable other Wireless network devices that might cause interference for your LINK device.

3. Perform a factory reset of your device, by holding down the mute button for 15 seconds (the LINK will now reboot and when the welcome message is heard then you can set it up again).
4. Reboot your Wireless router.           
5. Lastly, try turning Wi-Fi off and then back on again for your mobile device. Reopen your Google Home app and try again.

As of December 1, 2022, Google Assistant on third party smart displays, soundbars, and speakers are no longer able to make a voice call to a landline or mobile number on the carrier network. Voice-over-IP calls continue to work. This is due to the ongoing infrastructure improvements.
