If you have the EX7300 setup using mesh mode (uses same ssid as router) the phone/tablet/pc is what actual does the roaming based off its own algorithms.
options?
1. If you're using windows, you can go into the device manager, then your wireless network card, and see if it has a setting for roaming and change the settings for that.
2. You can disable mesh so you can choose which network to connect to.

It seems that pc/smartphone take a while but eventually disconnects from EX7300 and connects back to router. But out of curiosity, how do I disable mesh and create a different network with a different password? This way I can dedicate the EX7300 only to the desktop that is in s room where wifi was really bad before.
