Firmware Version: 1.1.8

Hi all. Deco M4, 3 units, router mode, triangle layout.

 

Sometimes one of my home devices (i.e. Smart TV) gets connected to one of the routers which is not the closest one, even it has a bad signal strength, resulting in bad performance. For instance, I have one router 1 meter away from the living room's tv, but the tv connects to another router which is 15 meters away with walls in the middle.

 

When this happens, most of the times the connection is kept for several days, unless I reboot all the routers and start again some pairings. I have tested with mesh on for the device, mesh off, fast roaming on, off, and issue remains.

 

Is there any workaround to fix this situation? I have spend my money to have routers distributed in the house, but they are not very smart and prefer long distance communications...

 

Thank you.
