I have the exact same issue with multiple clients.
I've restarted the clients several times to see if after a reboot it chooses a closer AP, but it regresses to the one it had previously chosen.
My setup is Gateway->Aruba Switch->4 AP22 over Ethernet.
I'm also interested in a solution to this.

Subject: AP22 Client selecting weaker device
This is a new set-up of 2 AP22s for a MESH network. The secondary device is 40-50 feet from the primary device. The suspect client is another 20-30 feet on from the secondary device. Other clients (same client types) in physical proximity to the secondary AP connect with no issues. However the suspect client, the client further away seems to connect to the primary AP with a weak signal.
What options do I have to force the client to the stronger signal, which should be basic AP functionality?
