Device connecting to furthest satellite

Hello. I have installed a wifi connected landscape lighting controller. I mounted the wifi antenna inside a storage room that is less than 10 feet from an Orbi satellite but has a standard wood framed wall between them. For some reason, the lighting controller is connecting to another Orbi satellite that is much farther away on the second floor of the house with the same wall between the two in addition to 1 concrete block wall and another wood framed wall or two. Can I force the controller to connect to the closest satellite? I know the concept of a mesh system is to connect to the best signal but it will be hard to convince me that the best signal is from the satellite that is the farthest away with a concrete wall between them.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.
