Uptime: 7 days 2 hour(s) 55 minute(s) 8 seconds.
Which is the time after the firmware upgrade, no issues at all on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.

Also 2.4 has stabilized so maybe it was just after a reboot it was a bit unstable.

And you changed some settings, not?

ASUS RT-AC68U - New Firmware 3.0.0.4.385_20632 Released July 24, 2020

I already have Wifi analyser and the 2.4 band has around another 3 routers. The AC68U is set to fixed channels, 11 and 44. Trouble is when I change the 2.4 channel there is a BT router that seems to follow it and maybe that is interfering as it is the strongest signal. I will try 5 ghz for a...

Yes I have changed to channel 13 for 2.4 which seems under used.

Anyone having problems setting a new AIMesh network with 2 RT-AC68U routers on this firmware? 1 was a Tmobile, but I converted it by removing the appropriate files from the router. 1 is an actual ASUS. Both routers work fine as routers. I tried each one as the main router, and factory reset the other, but neither shows up on the main router. I tried dozens of times with each as the main router, but neither sees the other as an AIMesh node. Firmware on both: 3.0.0.4.385_20632, 2020/07/28. I factory reset 3 ways: reset button, WPS during power on, and via the web GUI. I'll roll back firmware if anyone knows which one works correctly for setting a new AIMesh.

A modded router doesn't make it be a real one, and remains totally unsupported.

Lots of people use AIMesh with this combo. I'm asking if anyone has had issues with this particular firmware when setting up a new AIMesh network.

This forum doesn't provide support for it though. You may have to ask elsewhere.

Ok, thanks. I think I found the answer I am looking for elsewhere. If it doesn't work, I'll probably buy a new mesh system.

It worked! I hope this means I don't need to buy a new mesh system. I'll see how reliable it is.
