Deco M4 select signal source

I got 3 deco M4 device, 1 as main (AP mode) and slave 1 and slave 2.
Main deco and slave 1 are located at ground floor while slave 2 is located at floor 1.
Main deco is located under the stair so the signal strength is weak a bit, but the speedtest done when client device connect to slave 1 still good.
Problem here is slave 2 connect to main deco instead of slave 1 when slave 1 have greater signal strength compare to main deco.
I saw another post Deco M5 source signal selectable? got release beta firmware for M5 model.
May i know when will m4 beta firmware release? or does it have any other temporary solution?

Hi All,
Currently, We are working on the firmware that supports selecting signal sources manually.
Please keep an eye on Deco APP and once we release the new firmware, you will get a notification.
For more details, please refer to this link:

@NoGameNoFun Same issue over here. I also saw there is a beta version for M5 but nothing for M4.
I also saw you can turn the deco into an AP, but this applies to the hole network, not for a specific Node, which doesn't make sense at all...

Have you tried to contact Deco support through the Deco app?
if you do this it will register a support case that is followed up by a support team.
I am currently running beta firmware that they shared and it looks like it is doing the job!
