Did you do a factory default reset after installing the first AiMesh version?

Everything working fine here including media bridge.

I did a reinitialization on THIS version, and both the router crashing and the mac addresses being messed up occur.

Issue is in the firmware code, not settings.
Went back to 308 without a reset and its stable on the same settings

I think 20308 is the *most* stable working FW with aimesh IMHO..

For the guys with issues with any firmware after an upgrade, the good old recipe still applies:

1. Revert to factory defaults (in what ever way).
2. Configure the router manual from the wizard (do not load an old configuration backup).
3. Start with a bare minimal configuration to allow Internet access and verify router operation.
4. Enable other router features one by one and verify router operation for every single enabled feature.
5. Write down all the configuration changes you make from the factory defaults.

Just reporting that your router does not work after a firmware upgrade makes no sense.
Report if it fails at step 3 above or at what ever part in step 4.

after a factory default/reinitialization the setting up of a media bridge is basically filling in the wizard, absolutely no point to restoring settings.

lol, so yeah, after about 10 hours being connected to a ac88u the ac68u crashes in media bridge mode.

How far apart are the routers? Are there any log entries to suggest conditions?

And how does the RT-AC68U crash:

1. Just no Internet through the Media Bridge?
2. What is connected to the Media Bridge and how?
   
3. Can you still wireless access the GUI of the RT-AC68U?
4. Can you wired access the GUI of the RT-AC68U?
5. Any abnormal LED indications?
6. Any related log file entries in the RT-AC68U?
7. Any related log file entries in the RT-AC88U?
8. Does the RT-AC68U still show up in the Client list of the RT-AC88U?

There is no access to the unit at all, and the log file has nothing except startup data with a fresh ntp sync adjusting the time of the last few lines.

Theres an issue in the firmware, that fact is obvious by the ethernet and wifi mac seperation screwing up and showing both on the 88u's wireless log.

Can you make some screen dumps?
