You are exactly correct. There is no method to "force" a device to connect to a specific access point. All you can do is attempt to interest a device in one access point and hope that it "sticks".
I sure if you polled the people who spend a lot of time on the community forum, that nearly everyone would say, "PLEASE make this a feature so that people can get on with life!"
Thank you for confirming my belief that I have made an error in selecting this system. It was recommended to me by someone who knows less than I do but who is having great success with his system. Hopefully I'll find a solution before my eyesight goes completely :)
Can you move the satellite further away from the router?
Again, when you're to close, there tends to be issues.
Unfortunately, my house is a small two story. The AT&T Router that feeds the Orbi system is near the back of the house and the satellite is at the front. At best I might gain another 6 feet but doubt that would help. I assumed that placing the satellite just above the location of the camera would be the answer. Unfortunately, adding the Orbi has not helped at all
