The issues with AiMesh

[KeithLa]

My echo dot does not find my 5 ghz wifi network, only if I change a wifi setting on the router and the wifi channels change for a sec my echo dot sees the 5 Ghz and can connect.

Try moving the Dot further from the wireless router, which seems counterintuitive, but some client devices need more moderate RSSI for some reason an RF engineer may be able to explain.

Roaming Assistant also did not seem to help transition my phone across my AiMesh nodes, though I was seeing RA entries in the syslog.

Did you try to lower the TX power from eg. Performance to Good or Balance to minimize the overlap between router and notes ? What I find rather strange is that all my devices that are mobile seem to work rather fine but the speakers change frequently from node to router, and without disabling airtime fairness ( both bands ) multiroom did not work at all. This latter is common known in case of AImesh and eg Bose or Sonos.
