New Around Here
Going crazy here - we have a long narrow house with RP-AC55's at either end, and a RT-AX88U in the middle.

A lot of clients including 4 or 5 computers, a lot of smart-home gear, chromecasts, etc.

At the back of the house, several clients constantly bounce between the AX88U and the RP-AC55 - this happens even when you are very close to the AX88U. You can sit and watch it in the admin. Often clients will be on the AX88U with a great 4-bar signal and will suddenly drop and pop up on the RP-AC55. Some devices (like new Android phones, a new Lenovo laptop) will stop connecting to the network altogether until you remove/re-add them.

I've tried forcing certain clients using the roaming block list but it seems to have no effect. The only thing that seems to work is just taking the RP-AC55 off of the network.

Any ideas before I just tear all this 3 month old gear out and get something else?
