I have an AC68U linked to my modem with Wi-Fi enabled. Adding another AC87U to the same modem and using the Aimesh software might let them collaborate and share a single Wi-Fi channel, similar to a mesh setup. It’s not ideal, but it could function?

If both routers are compatible with AimsEye, it's possible to link them together to the same modem and form a mesh network. This is just a concept at this point.

Only if compatible. All information I've received indicates the RT-AC87U does not support it.

The correct information is what you're asking for now. Please clarify if you need details or a summary.

I don't understand why you'd use mesh, set identical Wi-Fi on both AC68U and AC87U. Make sure they're on different channels so your setup works. Your client will handle switching automatically once the signal reaches the threshold. If you need quicker transitions between access points, adjust the power output for both devices.

Sure, I can help with that. Two ASUS routers, such as the AC68U, can be set up on the same channel together.

Yes, you're correct. They can work but they’ll cause interference and reduce speed because many signals overlap on the same channel. Mesh networks are best when physical connections aren’t possible, but with your setup connected to a modem, it doesn’t add value between your routers and devices.
