Can you assign a device to a particular satellite

Is there a way to assign devices to a particular satellite (e.g., I want my ring doorbell to always connect to the closest satellite)?

Yes.  It's possible with different SSIDs.  Just use the target SSID to force/steer the device to nearest satellite.  If you're comfortable with telnet cmds, you can check out this: Separate SSIDs on Guest Network.
