Hey Tony, you've been very helpful with some of my other questions so I have one, well actually two more for you.
II have a DECO in my "office" (empty 2nd bedroom) in the back of the house, 1 in my L/R and one in my garage.
They are in access point mode and all on ethernet backhaul. It's about 25+ft from office Deco to L/R, another 25+ or so feet from L/R to garage all on 1 level.
My question is actually twofold:
Is there a way to force a device to connect to a specific Deco?
I just installed the latest firmware that shows which Deco a device is connected to and here is the issue. I have 2 Nest IQ WiFI 5ghz security cams in the front of my house on the sides of my garage. Both cams are not more than 10 feet from my Garage Deco and like 25+ from L/R Deco. 1 cam connects to the Garage Deco no problem but the second one connects to my Living Room Deco like 25+ feet away. I powered off the L/R Deco and then the cam connected to the Garage Deco 10 feet away as it should but as soon as I turned the L/R one back on it reconnected to the L/R Deco.
There is an option to "turn off mesh" for a device. I thought maybe turning off mesh would "stick" it to where it is currently connected but it did not. Not really sure what that option is for.
In any case is there any way to "force" a device to a specific Deco and have it stay there?
Thanks,
Ed

Please fix this. My devices are connecting to much weaker signals...this is nuts. I've tried disabling mesh once they connect to the node right next the device, but as soon as the other node is fired up, it goes back. This should be a SIMPLE fix.

With the latest M5 firmware 1.5.1, there is a network optimization feature that lets your Deco intelligently scan for a clearer channel and switch your devices to it.
