Deco M5 and Macbook Pro Roaming problem
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :

Hi,
I have three Deco M5 installed in my house, working in AP mode. Several mobiles phones and Laptops are correctly roaming between the three Deco when moving around in the house (I can see the BSSID changing in diagnotics tools). However, one Macbook Pro, with El Capitan operating system does not roam at all. The only way to be connected to the closest Deco is to disable WiFi and reactivate it again.
My investigations showed that the Mac is using 5 Ghz channel 36, disregarding on which Deco it is connected
I have two questions :
Q1 :
Is it normal that the same channel is used for my SSID on the three Deco ? I was expecting that Deco's automatically negotiate different channels for the same SSID...
Q2:
If I suspect a problem on the Mac with the 5 Ghz mode, is it a mean to force the three Deco to only work in 2.4 Ghz mode ?
Thank you in advance
