Device Roaming Between Different Extenders
I have Archer AXE75 and two RE220 extenders acting as a mesh network. I bought recently an irrigation controller and it became off-line and then I need to reset again and then connect back to my network, after troubleshooting I found that the controller initially connected to the main router and when it connects to the extender it goes off-line and also the way round when it moves from extender to main router it goes off-line. To prove my theory, I shutdown the extenders for 2 full weeks and never have the off-line issue.
The question is how to make the concerned controller connected to one of the extenders and never change to another extender or even the main router? Or how to make the concerned controller connected to main router and never change to the extenders?

When you use an easymesh the guest and IoT network would not be extended through the extenders - these two SSIDs would be on the main router only.

Hello @Hezqeel ,
Welcome to our community.
The signal strength of different Mesh nodes will vary, and the client will automatically switch to the node with a stronger signal to maintain the connection quality.
Please disable the EasyMesh and test whether it recurs?
If yes, enable the guest network on the router for the irrigation controller.

Hello @Hezqeel ,
Yes, as Terziyski mentioned, we cannot currently extend the IoT Network or Guest Network to the Satellite unit.
My previous understanding was that you simply turned off the range extender, which would also disable the EasyMesh network.
I suggest not removing the range extender and not establishing an EasyMesh network. If you connect the irrigation controller directly to the range extender, will the network it receives be stable?

Thanks friend, looks like issue is resolved by using guest network.
I got one more concern please, does matter devices connect through extenders or only the router?

Hello@Hezqeel ,
Whether the client is connected to the main router or the extender, they're both on the same LAN and don't make a big difference.
The key is the client's automatic negotiation with the router and extender to ultimately select the signal source.
