Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.6.5

Mesh map

 

I have three Decos for my home wifi in my long apartment—one X10 (the main Deco) in the Living Room at the front of the apartment, an M4R in the 'Second Bedroom' in the middle of the apartment, and another M4R in the 'Main Bedroom' at the back of the apartment.

 

See above for the current map of my mesh. I want to force the Main Bedroom Deco to connect to the Second Bedroom, not the Living Room, which is further away. Sometimes it does this automatically, but then if something gets interrupted, it reverts to this set-up, which doesn't work well. 

 

Can anyone help?

@Colin-online I don't know about X10, but Deco M4 doesn't support customizing satellite Deco signal source yet.

 

You can download the 1.7.0 beta firmware from here: Deco M4/S4_V2 Support Connection Preference

Just a M4 (2-pack) user who regrets buying it

  @Colin-online You can install the beta firmware in Deco M4 and then u can choose your prefere Deco units by using Connection Preference feature.

  @ARGamingPK1 Thank you! I downloaded the firmware, and installed it by typing the IP address of the Deco into my browser. Now the app has a 'Connection Preference' option.

 

I appreciate the help.
