So I have a bit of a issue with wifi clients connecting to a ASUS RT-AC86U in repeater mode. I will try to lay it out.
So I have a Asus RT-AC88U as the router. Its running the latest Melin firmware. I have a RT-AC86U in a garage that connects to the main wifi on 2.4ghz. It then plugs into a switch with cameras and a server in the garage. They work perfectly. All wired devices connect with no issues at all. But when a computer that is on wifi to the repeater router it does not get a IP address and does not connect to the internet. I have tried creating different wifi names and tried different security setting (from Open to WPA2). To add more confustion, when I first set this up it worked fine, after a couple of days it stopped. When I decided to move to Merlin because I thought it would stabilize it. It worked for a day like that and stopped. I have tried rebooting all devices and routers. That does not help. The repeater can ping the internet.
Here are a couple of shots of the repeater setup.
