"Sorry I missed this thread, but in my experience doing with with 2 Asus AC86u routers.  The routers had to be in the same room. I tried to do it far away in the rooms I wanted them, but ultimately they needed to be right next to each other when  you set them up.  Not sure why that was, but that was the only way I could get them set up.  Once everything is set up, you can move the repeater to the other room you wanted.  Also, to connect them in mesh, you have to do it with wifi first, then once setup you can attach the ethernet cable."
