I never did, I have never even touch this setting.
My bad for not checking this setting as I have been adding my nodes to my Aimesh system. So without this on my devices do not connect to the other modes through out my house as I am moving around my house from room to room?
So the items I see connected on each node is something it already has assigned to them?
Sorry I am learning all of this system.
Thank you for taking the time to help me![emoji2]

One likely goal for an AiMesh system is seamless roaming using one SSID for the entire system for both bands.
Wireless\Professional\Roaming Assistant (per band) is node steering... encouraging the client to disconnect from a distant node so that it will connect to a closer node for a stronger signal. This feature is ON by default.
Wireless\General\Smart Connect is node band steering... encouraging the client to connect to the node band that offers the best performance.
If supported by the router build, this feature is ON by default as far as I've seen.
If using Smart Connect, then wireless mode, channel bandwidth, control channel, and extension channel will be adjusted automatically. If NOT using Smart Connect, then you will likely need to use separate SSIDs for each band so that you can configure your clients to connect to the desired band manually (like in the past).
In many ways, the router features extend to an AiMesh node on a system basis. But there are limits to this such as with Smart Connect. If a router does not support Smart Connect (i.e. AC1900/68U), that router as an AiMesh node will not support Smart Connect... and therefore, the entire system may not effectively support Smart Connect and may require the use of separate SSIDs for each band.
Ultimately, the client decides when to roam and which band to connect to. AiMesh intends to encourage this decision to achieve seamless (or near seamless) roaming. Some difficult clients may protest. Some users may want more control over which clients connect to which node and which band. Some users may want more control over wireless mode, channel bandwidth, control channel, and extension channel. Some routers may not support Smart Connect despite AiMesh marketing hype. And, AiMesh may not perform perfectly as intended... there could be radio interference, firmware defects, etc. Hence, these can be the issues... it's not simple.
Decide your goal, decide what you need to achieve it, and know what your compromises and potential issues will be.
