I believe that AiMesh makes use of VLANs
Most dumb unmanaged switches shouldn't have issues with it...
Do check

Is there a privacy policy you have to accept before enabling it (eg with AiProtection by Trend Micro)
I suppose you could just leave it turned off
As for if the firmware pings chinese servers, I have no idea on that, you need someone with deeper knowledge of the chinese firmware
