Get Devices Connected to specific Satellites (RBR40 Router and 2 RBW30 Satellites)
Hi, I am having an issue where my laptop will not connect to a Satellite which is in the same room. It always connect to the router which is in our basement. I am not sure the issue here as I tried power cycling and turning the wifi on the laptop on and off. I have also noticed devices that are connected to the satellite which are very close have 1 bar of signal. Any reason for this or way to fix this?
Thanks!

Try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
It's mostly up to wireless devices to connect to which wifi signal sources to connect too.
Would this be the Transmit Power Control drop down?
Ok, so changing the Power to 50% I am now connected to the Satellite. Problem is the Satellite is literally right in front of me on the wall and my signal is Medium. And on the Application on my phone in the Satellite Devices it says it is 1 bar on the Wifi Icon.. doesnt make much sense to me.
