Model: Deco X10   Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.7 Build 20240911 Rel. 53484, 1.6.1 Build 20231228 Rel. 53314

I had the connection preference option for a few days in the beginning when i just got the x10 (i recently got it and now my deco m4 is my secondary), but now the option has dissapeared for some reason so i can't force my devices to connect to the deco i want, i need my laptop to connect to the x10 instead of the m4 for the better speeds.

Hi, Deco X10 added "Connection Preference" in the factory firmware, but Deco M4_v2 hasn't added it yet.

You can install the 1.7.0 beta firmware for Deco M4_v2 shared by Alexandre earlier:

Deco M4/S4_V2 Support Connection Preference

 

Thank you very much and best regards.

Deco M4 supports connection preference, X10 does not (yet). If you remove X10 from your Deco mesh, Connection Preference feature should appear in Deco app, when you add X10 to Deco mesh - that feature will disappear. All Deco units in Deco mesh must support that feature to have it available in Deco app.

 

In your case, if you plan to keep X10, try workarounds that might achieve same result, see: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/227700?replyId=554140
