Model: Deco X10   Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.7 Build 20240911 Rel. 53484, 1.6.1 Build 20231228 Rel. 53314

I had the connection preference option for a few days in the beginning when i just got the x10 (i recently got it and now my deco m4 is my secondary), but now the option has dissapeared for some reason so i can't force my devices to connect to the deco i want, i need my laptop to connect to the x10 instead of the m4 for the better speeds.

Hi, thanks for posting question here.

As Deco X10 does not support to choose  preffered signal source.

This guide is for your reference: How to select a preferred signal source on the Deco App

Best regards.

Deco M4 supports connection preference, X10 does not (yet). If you remove X10 from your Deco mesh, Connection Preference feature should appear in Deco app, when you add X10 to Deco mesh - that feature will disappear. All Deco units in Deco mesh must support that feature to have it available in Deco app.

 

In your case, if you plan to keep X10, try workarounds that might achieve same result, see: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/227700?replyId=554140
