Is there a way to force a device to a certain satellite?

So, I own the RBK3 Mesh system with two satellite.  I had to move one of the satellites from the basement to my garage(ORBI 2) for better coverage.  I noticed that every device is either connected to the router or the ORBI .  I am assuming that when I took ORBI 2 from the basement and moved it to the garage everyting found another connection.  So, my question is is there a way to "force" a device to a connect to the router or the satellites?  Thanks you!

Hi @sandman512, you can temporarily turn off the other satellite for them to connect to either the router or the satellite where you want them to be connected to.
