Hi, I'm trying to set up the RT-AC68U in repeater mode. My primary router, RT-AC5300, is broadcasting 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks. When I set the RT-AC68U in repeater mode and scan for new networks, it usually doesn't display the 5ghz frequency of the primary router or any other 5ghz networks around me so I'm forced to enter the 5ghz network ssid and password manually and then it connects fine. This is particularly the case in repeater mode after scanning for networks after the RT-AC68U has been reset to factory defaults or when the RT-AC68U is already functioning in repeater mode and is connected to the 2.4ghz frequency of the primary router. My ac wifi card clearly displays all the 5ghz networks around me so I know there are many present. I've tried this with several RT-AC68U units and they all behave like this. I also tried setting up the RT-N66U in repeater mode and it too has this problem.
I contacted Asus and they said they couldn't replicate the problem.
Any opinions would be welcome.
