Model: Deco BE85  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.1.1

Just installed my new 2 node (?) BE85.  Works really well.  Replaced my ORBI 753.  

I found that after getting everything set up, that several of the devices connected to the wrong node (?).  In most instances the device connected to the node in another room even though the device is stationary.  I then went to each device and connected it to the correct node and turned of "mesh" for that device.

 

Did I do something wrong in the setup or is there some minor issues with the soft/firmware that causes this to occur? I believe I've got it all dialed in  but I was just wondering......

  @MickeyBK The devices decide to which node they connect.

The Deco can just make suggestions to the devices, suggestions about the best Deco to connect, and the moment to switch to another Deco.

Some devices do not listen to those suggestions.
Sometimes, the best Deco is not the Deco closest to the device.  The main Deco could be the best Deco, as connecting to a satellite Deco involves sending traffic via multiple hops.
