Orbi Wifi 6 and Amazon Alexa (RBK853)
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...
Good point. I just checked and my CTS/RTS is currently set at 2347 on 5G which is what my Echo Dot is connected to.
But I don’t know if the CTS/RTS was originally set that way when I first tried to setup my Echo Dot last Nov/Dec or I changed it after we had that firmware disconnect issue back in March.
So it’s not clear to me what fixed my problem. Or maybe I worked around it kind of like Furry did above. Maybe once it gets connected, it’ll stay connected. But for sure turning off AX mode is one way to get the Echo Dot connected.

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I actually figured out what the issue was so I hope this helps anyone else having issues. The echo systems themselves were not up to date and required an update to connect to the mesh WiFi 6 system. I plugged in my old router and used that internet access point to update each echo and then in the Alexa settings I would change the WiFi to the mesh system after they were updated. All the echos work great now.
