Let us choose which unit base/satellite each device connects to.
The sysytem keeps trying to jam everything onto the Orbi base unit. Even when it shows in the app as only having one bar signal strength. Items that are two feet away from the satellite opposite side...

I love my Orbi. Here's a feature suggestion though (pretty much same as above). I have a base and two satellites. I have a device that I want to connect to the base (it's physically closer), but it occasionally connects to one of the satellites for some unknown reason. When it does - its connectivity is spotty, and it doesn't work quite right. It's a Wemo light switch wired into the wall, so it's definitely not moving around. The suggestion is to allow the access control to deny it on certain satellites - or some alternate way of forcing it to connect to which router/satellite I specify.
