Model: Deco M9 Plus  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: Newest

Hi Guys,

 

i have a 5 pieces m9 plus ser up.

there are 3 floors in my house.

 

i have an office at the top this has a deco and just under that there is my bedroom. This has a deco aswell and this one has a backhaul to the main deco trough utp.

 

no i have set the preffered connection from my office to the my bedroom but somehow it will stay connected to the main deco. This has a weak signal. And the bedroom has a good signal strength.

 

is there a way to force this or a fix for this?

Hi, I had the same issue with my X20 mesh. Some devices refused to move to the best signal even when I manually set those devices to the best one. Bouncing the main node fixed this.

It is not that devices wont connect to the best. But the Deco Node's themselves.
