@walshy5050 – welcome, unfortunately the DSL-AC88U does not support AP / AiMesh – it was a bit of kit that ASUS no longer support over a year ago.
Have you had the DSL-AC88U long, can it be returned ?
In reality ASUS offers three options
- AiMesh -not available on DSL-AC88U (both units need to support this option)
- Access Point – Ethernet cable between two routers (set-up via ASUS RP-AC68)
- Repeater – Wifi connection between two routers (set-up via ASUS RP-AC68)
As AiMesh is not supported by DSL-AC88U, then using your ASUS RP-AC68 you should still be able to utilise its Access Point or Repeater functionality (as child) and still keep DSl-AC88U as main router etc?.
Link to youtube which should help clarify the differences and advantages/ disadvantages of each option – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic0bgo_ueQ0
