My roomba vacuum cleaner and echo dot won't connect to new RAX45
I have set up my new router and 2 windows computers have connected successfully. But my Roomba vacuum cleaner and Echo Dot won't connect.

Which router model are you using?
Also keep in mind that the current roombas as well as many IOT devices currently do not support WPA3 or mixed WPA3 and WPA2 modes.
Also on the 5GHz band, when realing with IOT devices, be sure you are not using using a DFS channel as your primary channel as active scanning is now allowed in the DFS frequency range, thus some IOT devices can end up with a lot of trouble connecting to them.
Beyond that, for the the newer roombas, be sure to check for firmware updates using the roomba app.
