ac68u, ac87u has flaws in the design.
RAM is needed when it comes to connections but in terms of throughput that just relates to CPU and the ports. For 300k connections it doesnt really need much ram as this isnt BGP.
So I would caution anyone considering the discounted RT-AC68P. It's being clearanced for a good reason.
I have been using the RT-AC68P with zero issues and I have not seen a pattern of posts here with people having any specific issue with it. Maybe you just got a dud.
