I don't want to disappoint you, but that new firmware functionality is unlikely to help in your case. With new firmware, Deco can tell PC which Deco node to connect to. If your PC wireless adapter is not smart enough to connect to the nearest node now, what makes you think it'll understand when Deco tells it to do that?

 

In your case, there are two more options you could try:

 

1) In PC wireless adapter configuration disable 2.4GHz and set WiFi roaming aggressiveness to highest value. This will force PC use shorter range 5GHz, and aggressively scan for better WiFi signal;

 

or

 

2) Wire your PC to Deco X90.

Thanks for pointing this out. It helped to connect to the nearest node, but not at Wifi 6. For whatever reason my PC seems to always prefer WIFI 5 whenever possible. So it will connect to the nearest node instead of the one downstairs whenever i turn off Wifi 6 on my PC. But it will not connect to the nearest node when Wifi 6 function is turned on. It will only connect to the only Wifi 6 without any issue when the other nodes are shut off. Now i am confused why PC will prefer a WIfi 5 connection over Wifi 6 cconnection when the Wifi 6 is completely fine.

That would be the good question to ask on PC's support forum or PC's wireless adapter support forum. You may be paying the price for mixing different technologies: WiFi5 and WiFi6, in a single mesh.
