   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:

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.
