Hi everyone,

I have a problem that most of my devices connect mostly to my main router, not to the satellites, even if they're closer and have a better signal.

My configuration is a single main router connected via Ethernet backhaul to two satellites. The distance between them is up to 10 meters. However, due to bulk walls, it's necessary. Only my external Wi-Fi camera connects to a proper satellite since it is far enough. Is it possible to manually set which satellite will be preferred?

I'm open to providing more information if needed.

Thank you for the help!
