Cheapest Decos that allow for client -> Deco connection preference
I think I need to upgrade my S4 mesh to something higher spec that will allow me to set a preferred unit for my PS Portal to connect to. Can anyone recommend the cheapest set of Deco units that will allow me to do this?

Hi, welcome to the community.
Is Deco S4 powerful enough for the PS Portal?
If yes, you can consider Deco M4, which has similar wireless specifications to Deco S4:
Both Deco M4_V2 and V4 now support setting connection preferences for mobile clients.

Thanks for the update. I have one M4 and three S4 units - if I replaced the S4 units with M4 units would that provide the feature I need? Is there a slightly higher spec model than the M4 that I could get which would give me a more future-proof solution (without costing too much more)?

Hi, can I have the current firmware for your Deco M4 as well as Deco S4?
Under "Connection Preference", there are #1 "customizing signal source for satellite Deco units" and #2 "customizing connected Deco and connected bands for mobile clients".
Connection Preference: Customize Your Preferred Signal Source
For #1, "customizing signal source for satellite Deco units", it only needs the support of the specific satellite unit.
Both Deco M4_V2_1.7.0 and Deco S4_V2_1.6.1_Beta support this feature:
For #2, "customizing connected Deco and connected bands for mobile clients," it needs the support of all Mesh units.
Deco M4_V2_1.7.0 has added this feature, but Deco S4_V2 has not.
I think you can consider Deco X10, and it is a basic model of WiFi 6 Deco.

Thank you very much.
