I simply updated both, restored to factory defaults ran the setup on my RT-AC5300 and connected the RT-AC68U using the AiMesh feature and changed from AiMesh Router mode to AiMesh Access Point mode and placed the RT-AC68U in my bathroom using LAN not wireless and started testing.
To add a node, ensure that it is in factory default reset condition after installing AiMesh firmware on it, and then simply add it from the router GUI.
Its really hard to tell if the AC68 is using LAN or wireless. Even with the Ethernet cable connected its still showing wireless bars in the Web-UI so I guess its just ignoring the Ethernet cable?
AiMesh auto senses the backhaul type. Some LAN switches defeat this, so set it manually under 'more config' when viewing the node pop-up details.
