Unleashed client connect to the far access point

I have more than one client mostly in 2.4Ghz that are connecting not to the near  AP R600 2 meters but  they are connecting automatically to the far access point R500 where is 3-4 meters away plus kitchen and 2walls in between. 

I reduced already the TX power of 2.4Ghz to -4dB,  screenshot settings attached. 

What else do you suggest ? Image_ images_messages_5f91c3df135b77e2478bec78_f896002ecc524058558b24a2ae1fab31_RackMultipart20171205783524rz2-15a52857-e49b-4060-bfc7-5502b4005122-593640735.PNG1512469092

Instead of adjusting the TX Power, have you tried enabling 802.11k for the WLAN and setting a low 2.4GHz percentage in Services, Radio Control and Band Balancing?  That said, you might also get better performance if you do not limit the radio to three channels.

1 the band balancing at the moment is set to 10% shall I drop to 2% ?
2 do I need also enable the "band balancing" in the WLAN to make the 1 option working ?

I don't know if 2% will help more, but you do need Band Balancing enabled. Like I mentioned, you might also want to try enabling 802.11k.
