Switch Satalite connected to
I have a device (2.4) in my garage that is less than 10 feet away from a Satalite but it always connects to a satalite about 50 feet away going thru 3 walls.
1. Does it really matter which one it connects to?
2. If it does is there a way to make it connect to the satalite 10 feet away?
Thank you.

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

1. Does it really matter which one it connects to? If it works, then leave it alone.

One technique is to reconnect the device to the Orbi WiFi. "Forget" the WiFi connection, then set it up again. (which can be rather a chore with some devices)
