+1 to using the Ethernet Backhaul method. AC68U as main (386.3_2) and AC68P as node (386.3_beta3 = RT-AC68U_9.0.0.4_386_55919-g4b63ee0).
What isn't explicitly called out anywhere here is: When doing the initial mesh node discovery, WAIT for the node's Wi-Fi connection icon to change to an ETHERNET icon before proceeding. I was always too quick to start the pairing process and it always failed if the Wi-Fi icon had not changed... It takes about 5 -15 extra seconds for that icon to change.
