Orbi RBK23 Allocating to a specific piece of equipment

Hi New here Just my my Orbi unit with 2 satellites. I’ve set them up (eventually) and all seems fine. However my Xbox is linking to the satellite upstairs not the one I have positioned next to it!!...

if you have a sat sitting next to the xbox, just connecy it with a ethernet cable

    The Xbox speed seems faster without the Ethernet connection for some reason

      well there's your answer.

       

      I have mine sitting right next to one of the sats connected with a ethernet cable and it seems fine.  I don't worry about where the devices connect to, as long as they 'work' as they should.
