My WiFi 6 pc always connects to slowest, far away deco unit every time.

I have a 2 piece Deco x20 mesh that works great. No issues. I added a Deco M5 downstairs so there could be internet in the back yard and over the hill. This works great also. Only problem is my PC, which is the only wifi 6 enabled device (and reason I got the x20 in the first place) connects to the M5 every time. It is 3x further away and on a different floor. My speed drops from 650mb/s to 80mb/s. I have to reboot the M5 everytime I turn my PC on so it will connect to the x20 which is 10 feet away. There has to be a way to force my PC to connect to wifi 6 only or block the M5 from connecting to my PC. I have turned off mesh for my PC in the app and tried turning off beam foward. Thanks in advance for the help!!
Hello,
My motherboard is a GIGABYTE X570 I AORUS Pro Wi-Fi 6. In the pic of the wifi 6 antenna, you can see in the backround where the Deco X20 is. It doesnt connect to this one. It connects to the one that is downstairs on the other side of the house.
Thanks!!
@David-TP I would recommend also checking the settings of your WiFi device itself on your PC. Go to Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Network Connections and double click on your Wireless Card/Device, Then Properties -> Device -> Configure and you will see the following below. Once there I would check your Preferred Bank and below including Roaming Agressiveness & Transmit power. Change one at a time then disable/enable the wireless and see which one it connects to. This will rule out the PC. After doing this if it's still connecting to the other Mesh unit respond and I'll help you go through the settings on your Deco units to help mitigate this issue.
