Orbi RBK23 Allocating to a specific piece of equipment

Hi
New here
Just my my Orbi unit with 2 satellites.
I’ve set them up (eventually) and all seems fine. However my Xbox is linking to the satellite upstairs not the one I have positioned next to it!! Anyone know why? Is it possible to allocate “satellite 3” to Xbox?

what difference does it make?

 

if you have a sat sitting next to the xbox, just connecy it with a ethernet cable

The Xbox speed seems faster without the Ethernet connection for some reason

well there's your answer.

 

I have mine sitting right next to one of the sats connected with a ethernet cable and it seems fine.  I don't worry about where the devices connect to, as long as they 'work' as they should.
