Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.6.1 Build 20220818 Rel. 36456

I have 3 Deco M5 units, the main one (connected to the modem) and the other ones. The second unit is correctly connected to the main, but the third one is also connected to the main (instead of being connected to the second one). The third unit is 4 meters (~13 ft) from the second one, with no wall or any other obstacle. There is no reason to connect to the main unit, which is about 10 meters (~33 ft) with 2 walls between them. Why is this happening??

I have a laptop near to the third unit, but it is connecting to the main unit (the signal of the main unit is obviously stronger than the third unit). The third unit is useless with this connection map.

I tried to use the Network Optimization option of the Deco App, but the result is that the status of my network is perfect (but it is not).

 

TP-Link, pleeeeaseeeee, solve this problem as soon as possible. The Deco App should give us the option to manually choose the connection between the units.

 

Thank you in advance.
