M4R Deco - devices not connected to the strongest signal/ nearest node
Hi,
I just bought 3 units of Deco M4R, all of them are operating on AP mode and connected via Ethernet backhaul. First unit is placed downstairs next to the router, and second unit is placed on first floor at the master bedroom and second unit placed at second bedroom - all connected via Ethernet backhaul which is connected to the same switch.
My issue is fast roaming doesn't seem to work, my devices occasionally get connected to the one with the weakest signal - so weak that the link speed on my Android phone is only showing link speed of 8mbps with one bar of signal.
Beamforming and Fast roaming is turned on. I have also updated to the latest firmware
How does one resolve this issue?
I bought this expecting to resolve the very same problem that it was advertised to solve, which is to enable seamless roaming in the whole house without switching WiFi but now it seems like the old way of manually switching WiFi works better
------------------------------
UPDATE -> Confirmed that issue arose because Randomised MAC feature is turned on in Android
