@TP-Link My network I am experencing this same behavior.  I have two Deco's about 40' apart in seperate buildings on my property.  My Raspberry Pi 4 perfers to connect to my (office) deco about 60' away instead of the deco about 10' away from it.  Signal strength is about 1 bar and can't get over 50k download speed on it.  Can I test the beta firmware?

@fbal hi. Did you get hold of the beta FW? I'm very frustrated by this issue too. Most devices are connecting to my main 'living room' node despite then being closer to one of the other two nodes. 
my main issue is trying to run my Sonos speakers. Regardless of their placement in the house they all connect to the main node making that node very data heavy, whilst the other two nodes have one or no clients connected.

@Jamieg2021 

Hi,we have beta firmware that could help satellite Deco to find the best uplink Deco and optimize its signal source.

If you are interested, please leave me a private message;

Thank you.
