Some Deco models have added the feature to select a preferred signal source for the satellite deco and the client device, which will help improve the network performance.

Here we take Deco M5 as an example to show the steps to select a preferred signal source.

This feature is supported both under Router mode and Aceess Point mode.

Some Deco models will support this feature via firmware updates in the future.
