Any way to influence what router is used?

[rj2w]

I have a lot of hardwired devices, like light bulbs, that may not be good routers, and they sometimes get switched off. I have a few other strategically placed devices that are good routers, like a dongle-p, with an antenna, flashed as a router and placed strategically.

But I think my "good" routes are sometimes being ignored and inferior devices preferred as routes.

Any way to permanently influence what devices get priority as routes in the network?

Unfortunately not, devices themselves chose what routes are used.

With IKEA blinds and aqara devices, they are sticky to the device they are paired to, so you might be able to make them bind to a specific device when enrolling them by only allowing add new device on that particular device.
