We have a model RBR40 but this question is to ask if our idea is somehow feasible. We have 4 Orbi satellites hooked to the Orbi router in different locations. We have IP cameras that are connected to the network. Each IP camera is hooked to the closest satellite. However, sometimes the signal strength drops and the satellite has to reconnect. When this happens the IP camera can connect to the next closest satellite. When the satellite comes back online the camera IP doesn't change back because it's connected with a weak signal. My question is, is there a way to either assign a device with a certain IP or MAC address to a particular satellite or set a satellite to ignore/block a device with a certain IP or MAC address?
No. Set up a IP address reservation for your devices ON the RBR. Use a web browser and connect to the RBRs web page. Set a IP address reservation for your devices under Advanced tab/Setup/LAN setup.
I'ts up to devices to pick and choose where they connect too. You may need to adjust the RBS placement. When the Signal drops at a RBS, once it comes back, you will need to reboot the device to get it to re-connect to the closer RBS.

I thought that the same thing. Thank you for the confirmation and additional advice and resources. I will look into the reboot idea for the actual device. Hope you have a great day.
