Is there a way to set a Connection Preference order?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have 3 Decos that participate in my network. Certain devices I seem to connect to a node that is further away and therefore have a weaker signal. I know that in the advanced settings I can choose a Connection Preference, but that locks the device to only one node. Is there a way I can set an ordered list in case a node is down and then have the other nodes host the traffic until the preferred node comes back up and then when that happens have the device automatically switch back to the preferred node?
Thank you.
@David-TP thank you so much for the reply! These devices are wireless cameras mounted outside the building so they aren't mobile and the weird part was they seemed to be stuck using the deco unit furthest away instead of the ones close to them. The way the Connection Preference section is worded is EXTREMELY different than how you just explained it. The Deco app literally says that my device will ONLY connect to the one Deco that I select. This explicitly means that if I reboot that one Deco, my security camera well lose all connection. Please see the attached screenshot.
Who is correct? You or your app?
You state that if the preferred Deco is taken offline then the client will move to another Deco, but the Deco app (iOS) states that if the client will ONLY connect to that one Deco and therefore not any other nodes in the mesh.
See what I mean?
