I have here 5 R550/R350 unleashed access points, which are connected by lan and I have one access point in an outside building (R350 unleashed), which is connected wireless via mesh. All access points run the latest unleashed firmware.

My problem is, that the wireless connected access point is always connecting to the access point in the main building, which is farthest away instead of connecting to the wired access point, which is closest.

Because of this, the wireless access point drops the connection frequently.

How can I influence this ? Is there a way to force the wireless client to connect to a closer wired access point ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
