@David-TP I'm on Deco app for Android, version 3.8.205
Not sure why you would need my phone number though. The phone model is Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, running Android 13

Any news on the when the 1.7.0 stable version will be out? My network mostly works really well, but I have a few cases where the connection preference setting would solve my problem.
One is the one I've explained a few times already -> my garage Deco is connected using ethernet (using Powerline ethernet adapters), but it's right on the edge of my other Deco's range, so sometimes it randomly connects to WiFi instead and the other Deco at the other end of the ethernet connects through it, which makes the whole network super slow. This hasn't happened in a long time though, thankfully.
The second thing, and this is a new one, is that my stepson's room is in the middle between 2 Deco's, and when he's using our Nokia T20 tablet in his room, it can't decide which Deco it wants to be connected to and switches back and forth all the time, and then he gets an error before it reconnects. I tried disabling mesh features on the device alltogether, but that didn't help, and also it seems to be switching between 2.4ghz and 5ghz all the time when in that particular room. In the living room or upstairs it works without a hitch because it's clearly closer to one of the Deco's...

used to have two archer c64 routers with shtty easymesh and dumb smartconnect, easymesh on archer routers is sht because i cant chromecast to device connected to another router, and it always lose rdp/vnc/smb connections between devices...even ms teams drops... tplink support twice gave me betas with fixes. fixed one and broke another... and i was tired of it and bought two decos M4
so on deco everything works well :) but i cant create iof or guest network on ONE-main device (on archer routers you can create network on main device with no problems) and clients always connect to it... because the second archer router just does not broadcast it ))))
after every power outage in ukraine i need to reboot my second deco m4v2 bacuse four of my my stupid ip cameras and iot's connect to it with signal -75db while first deco gives stronger -40db,
please give us connection preference.
