Force a device to connect to a specific Deco

I have to Decos, 1 on the first floor(livingroom) and one on the second floor(bedroons and office).
I'm working in my office with a Deco about 3m away from me and my macbook is connected to the one on the first floor with a 2.4ghz connection.
My phone is connected to the correct Deco though.
Is there a way for me to force my macbook to the deco on the second floor so it is connected to the 5ghz network?

Hi, Today, I got the beta firmware for Deco M4_V2_1.7.0 that supports connection preference.
Based on the version number, I think it might support other features mentioned here-Understand the Differences Among Deco Firmware Platforms about 1.7.0 but the engineers haven't provided a full release note.
I was wondering whether you might want to try this beta.
Since the version has been 1.7.0, the firmware downgrade would need to be done via firmware recovery(which requires a factory reset.)
Thank you very much and best regards.
@JaapHoutman At last...hopefully we get the stable firmware soon!

Apart from M4_1.7.0 Beta, there is one more for Deco X60_V2.
