I noticed exactly the same: much more stable for my 2.4GhZ IP camera which now connects to the expected satellite, rather than to the more distant router?

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Roughly 150m² ground floor + basement + 1st floor, with 2 or 3 walls in between router (positioned centrally) and each of the three satellites.
I reported that - as the other team members observed - the last firmware became more stable in associating specific devices (two 2.4Ghz-only IP cam who compete on a band with more limited bandwidth) with the closest satellite.
