Deco x10 missing connection preference

I had the connection preference option for a few days in the beginning when i just got the x10 (i recently got it and now my deco m4 is my secondary), but now the option has dissapeared for some reason so i can't force my devices to connect to the deco i want, i need my laptop to connect to the x10 instead of the m4 for the better speeds.

Hi, Deco X10 added "Connection Preference" in the factory firmware, but Deco M4_v2 hasn't added it yet.
You can install the 1.7.0 beta firmware for Deco M4_v2 shared by Alexandre earlier:
Deco M4/S4_V2 Support Connection Preference
Thank you very much and best regards.

Deco M4 supports connection preference, X10 does not (yet). If you remove X10 from your Deco mesh, Connection Preference feature should appear in Deco app, when you add X10 to Deco mesh - that feature will disappear. All Deco units in Deco mesh must support that feature to have it available in Deco app.
In your case, if you plan to keep X10, try workarounds that might achieve same result, see: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/227700?replyId=554140

@David-TP Oddly enough after a few weeks now, my m4 has connection pref. but for some weird reason the x10 does not, i've checked multiple times, i'm guessing my m4 v2 updated pretty recently and is now allowing me to use connection pref. but my x10 still dosen't have the option for whatever reason.

@Qmit After looking a lil deeper i've noticed that some devices have the option and some don't irrespective of whether they're connected or not, in the offline clients list 3 of my phones have the connecting pref. option while 2 others don't, one of my laptops have the option and the other dosen't, and my amazon devices + iot devices don't have the option at all, but i remember my amazon devices had that option before, i'm just really confused at this point.

@Qmit Unfortunately this Pre-Release firmware 1.7.0 is only for Deco M4 (V1) and (V2) not for (V3)
