I feel as though my devices in my house only try and connect to the router and not the satellites. If you get closer to one of the satellites, should the device automatically connect to the nearest satellite? I have a 2 story, 2300 sf home and I feel like the satellites are equally separated to give me adequate coverage, but it also shows that one of my satellites could be in better range? Any advice or help would be great. Thanks so much!

Are they at leasts 30 ft from each other and the router?
This is the minimum seperation required.
What firmware version are they on?
- 2.3.5.30 is the firmware. And yes, each satellite and router are all at least 30’ from each other. Router is located in the bottom corner of the house, one satellite is in the opposite corner downstairs and the last satellite is upstairs in a bedroom central to all of upstairs.
Try placing the RBR more centrally in on the main floor?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try updating FW as well:
