I am the user of Deco network, I have a question - does anyonw know why "preferred connection" which I can set to each individual device cannot survive network reset? Why cannot it be permanent?

Hi, welcome to the community.
Regarding the "network reset", do you mean factory resetting the Deco nodes and reconfiguring them, or rebooting the Deco nodes?
1) If you reset the Deco and reconfigure it, all the previous configurations on it will be removed.
2) Rebooting the Deco node won't remove the connection preference settings. If this happens on your Deco nodes, please send us screenshots of your connection preference settings before and after the Deco reboot.
Then, please follow the instructions below to send us the Deco app log. After that, attach your reference number (such as email TKIDXXX) to the thread or reply to us if you have sent the app log.

Hi
Thank you for your response.
It happens after network manual restart, scheduled daily restart, one of routers restart or also when the main router comes back from backup connection (4G) to WAN.
My network is composed of Deco X50-5G as the main router + 6 satellites (2 Deco S7 + 4 Deco X50-outdoor). Can it be the problem is caused by mixed routers generations (S7 + X50)?
This is example of preffered connection I have to set every time after it is vanished:

After events mentioned above, it comes back to first position (automatic).
I am not able to collect logs as I am not at home right now, I can collect it in few days if you need it.
