X50 prefered connection feature not working

Hello,
I’m trying to connect my Deco X50 Outdoor to the BE65 unit, which has a much stronger signal compared to the BE25. Despite setting the BE65 as the preferred connection, the X50 keeps connecting to the BE25, ( it has a weak WiFi signal )...
I even tried turning off the BE25 to force the X50 to connect to the BE65, but it still doesn’t link to it—even though the signal is strong. I’ve also rebooted the X50, but the issue remains.
It’s worth noting that the X50 used to connect to the BE65 in the past. Any idea why this might be happening now ? All software are updated.

Hi, welcome to the community.
Can I have the current firmware version of your Deco BE65 and Deco BE25?
For Deco BE65_V2, it is suggested to install the 1.1.7 version here:
Enhancing Satellite Deco Network Stability with Deco BE11000/BE63_V2.6_1.1.7
There is also a newer version, 1.0.17, for Deco BE25_V1: Deco BE25_V1_1.0.17 Ready for Test!
By the way, can I also have some pictures of the network map on the Deco APP:
Wait for your reply.
Best regards.

@David-TP all updated to the recommended firmware, so far it works :) Thanks
Another thing, I think it would be great to add the log feature in the mobile app rather than web GUI only :)
Either way, thanks for your help, really appreciated !

@David-TP , thanks 😊
I don't have these versions available from the app.
I am using for B65 1.1.6 Build 20250220 Rel 28737 and
B25 1.0.15 build 20250123 Rel 35657.
I ll try to see if I can download them from the TP-Links website.
