I've tried telling my amcrest camera to connect to the satelite that has the strongest signal but it keeps going to the one that has the least.
Is there a way to temp turn an orbi satelite without unplugging it?
THanks

Latest firmware. V2.3.1.48
The orbi connects to a frontier fios unit.
Router mode
approx 3700sqft home
All satelites are connected via a gigabit wire.
I have the router in the garage.
Satelite near family room and then one in my office; Approx 40-50 feet apart.
Second story one on one side of house above the family room and the other above my office about 60 feet away from each other.
Backhaul tried turning off from on.
The other two mimo and beamforming checked
The media one is checked
2.4 set to auto
5 ghz set to 48
Thanks

Are they all connected to the back of the RBR or thru a LAN switch?
