Lock a product (via Mac Address) to a specific RBR50 satelite

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

FYI, for the most part, it's up to the connecting device to pick and choose where they connect to based on signal, noise and environment.

Greetings,

 

I have a Netgear Orbi RBR50 and for some reason even though I am only 15' away from the satelite (slave) on my 3rd floor, my work PC (running Win10)  appears to always connect to the master that is located on the first floor +40' away. Consequently my speed is only 30 mbps on my PC, however, when I check my iPhone/iPad right next to my PC, they clearly connect to the satelite on the third floor as they are connected at 230 mbps.

 

Is there a way to "force" my PC to default connect to my third floor satelite? Can I go into the Orbi settings and "force" my PC to default to my 3rd floor satelite. I understand that is going against the point of a Mesh network, but Win 10 is not so great. 

 

Any tips would really be appreciated, thank you.
