I use my 2014 and 2020 Macs with mesh and old-school multi-ap networks which broadcast same SSID all the time, and I see it as switches APs from the wireless reception bar, without any drop in connectivity. Mesh enabled or not.

Interesting.

2020 is ambiguous - there's both Intel and M1 MBP from that year. I can tell you that M2 can't handle TP-link meshes.

		Nope, mine is an M1 MBA, and the mesh I have is a TP Link. Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands are meshed with OneMesh. Are you running the latest firmware on the TP-Links? I remember their meshes being wonky regardless of the connecting client in the early days.
