Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.6.2 Build 20240308 Rel. 55841

All my devices (2.4 GHz home automation devices) connect to the main deco even if the signal is weak.

 

How can I connect my devices to the nearest deco?

Hi,

 

You can update the firmware and manually choose connection preference for the devices.

 I had some improvement by disabling "mesh tecnology" option in each client device, some of them (not all) are now connected to the closest Deco device.
