Devices not selecting best router

2024-01-10 02:35:25

Model: Deco X20

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.1.5 20231026 62511

Hi,
I've installed a 3-unit Deco X20 and it's working reasonably well, but I have a couple of devices selecting a distant X20 to connect to (with a weak signal) rather than a closer X20 with strong signal.
Apart from setting Connection Preference which seems to defeat the whole purpose of mesh, is there anything I can try?

Thanks.

Dave

@wwwebb

Keep only 5GHz band for Main Network, and that will convince devices roam faster to nearby Deco unit.

Also, Fast Roaming must be ON (it should be ON by default, but worth to check).
