Check if you have Connection Preference feature in your Deco app, see Part 2 of the following FAQ: How to select a preferred signal source on the Deco App

 

Note that this feature usually does not work for devices that connect over 2.4GHz (they ignore it), but should work for devices on WiFi 5 (5GHz).

 

If you do not have that feature, you can download firmware for your M4s that has it from here: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/793908
