Did you se the same SSID in te RE as in on your main router ? You can make them different and force the laptop to connect to the router SSID.

The other approach would be to reduce the RE wireless coverage:

If you set at minimum coverage and that happens casinally you can try to increase the distance between the router and the RE.

This would be a trial and error operatoion that should lead you to the best position of your RE.
