Deco M9 select source signal

I've just purchased two more M9's to go with the two i currently have and the one in my office is choosing to connect to the main device which is further awy than one in the middle it subsequently tells me i have a poor wifi connection.
I thought the whole point was it optimsed hte system and could tell me where to locate i don't see this happening at all.

@TP-Link Just get a manual override for selecting signal source in the next firmware. I need it asap.
Pseudo code:
SignalSource = mainUnit;
if (SelectedByUser != null)
{
SignalSource = SelectedByUser;
}

Hello - what is the staus of this firmwear? When will it get promoted from beta and be the next automatically updated firmware? Somehow when I was upgrading to the beta version, my main M9Plus got put on a 2018 version of the firmware. I had to reinstall the default firmware to restore it. It would be better if you can just promote this version out of beta so we can all use it without having to jump through so many hoops. Thank you.

Hi, You could have a look at this link about why satellite Deco units tend to choose the main Deco.
[Deco] Manual Signal Source Selection
Is there any issue when the satellite Deco is not connected to the nearest Deco, like unstable connection, or slow speed?
And Could you please share some pictures about your floor map and the signal source on the satellite Deco which is not linked to the correct Deco?

Thanks for the link and explanation.
The configuration is one Deco M9Plus per floor. The main deco is on the first floor (deco A), one satellite on the second floor (deco B), and one satellite on the third floor (deco C).
The optimizer connects deco C to deco A, and the signal strength is one bar (orange color). Deco B connects to deco A and has two bars (light blue).
My computer connects to deco C, and oftentimes I get "Your Internet Connection Is Unstable". For some users, reliability and stability may be more important than the "speed" the network optimizer uses to determine connections. So, being able to "override" what the optimizer chooses will be beneficial for users.
Due to the instability, I would like Deco C to connect to Deco B, and use Deco B's improved connection to Deco A (the main deco).
