I am trying to sync my new amazon echos with my mesh system.  I am unable to get them to link.  It has something to do with the wifi security but I cannot figure out what settings will allow me to do so.  Currently my wifi system is selectd in the App using the WPA2-Personal Securtiy Method.  Now the echo was able to join when I made a guest network with no wifi security, but of course I would rather it be on the actual network so I don't have to broadcast a guest network all the time.

I don't recall having any problems getting my Amazon Echo devices to connect to the Orbi mesh network.  They don't seem to have issues with using the same SSID for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks like other IoT devices.

You can use the Amazon Alexa app on your phone to reset the wireless security for each Echo device.  Go to the Devices tab, click the Echo & Alexa icon, select each Echo device, and the click the Change link next to Wi-Fi Network.  The app will then walk you through the instructions to put your device into wireless pairing mode and then select your Orbi wireless network and enter your WPA2 security credentials.
