Can I lock devices to master/satellite ?

Question

Is there any way to force specific devices to stay locked onto the Router and not switch to the satellite?

I am using a wireless surround sound system (Samsung multiroom) which has four devices all connected via wifi : TV, soundbar and two wireless rear speakers.

Before installing Orbi, I had all of these devices separate 5GHz SSID from a single wireless router.

However, now that I am using Orbi, I am finding that 3 of the devices attach to the Router and one device connects to the Satellite. I am getting occasional sound dropouts which I suspect may be due to this.

No way to manually force the device to the router you could try re position the satellite and see if the router becomes a stronger signal for that device.
