I’ve got a Wi-Fi extender that I use when I’m working out back, but my phone will randomly connect to it when I’m in the house and would prefer it connect to the home Wi-Fi.

is there any way yet to tell my phone to prioritize a network?

    ^ the answer. any purpose built mesh system should stream your access seamlessly, extenders won’t.

      Most unifi / inter communicating aps that hand off clients to each other using a controller are not mesh systems. Mesh means aps talk to each other wirelessly to pass traffic as a backbone, not to specifically perform client handoff (although it may do that as well as a separate feature)

        Unifi does both. They have Mesh systems which also can be managed through the centralized router and can pass you off the mesh system onto other APs seamlessly.
