Pretty sure I fixed it Yaaaaaaa,!!
i created vlan10 and bridged it with the LAN ports on the RT-AC66Us. Apparently the management vlan1 on the Netgear switch was causing me problems. I couldn't tag vlan1 for the ports I needed on the switch. Once I moved everything to another vlan, went smooth as silk.

Hi pdobrien3
I aggre with DanaA 's suggestion. And there more things I want to known.
As you said "WORKS GREAT when the routers are connected to each othe" , in this condition, did you connect two ASUS AC-RT66U through port 2 ?
And what the configuration of the connected ports between two ASUS AC-RT66U ?
Best Regards

I am sorry if my reply to DanaA's post is not clear. My setup is in fact in compliance with DanaA's suggestions. Also, when the RT-AC66Us are connected directly, without the Netgear switch, they are both connected through port 2. Following is my port/vlan setup on the two RT-AC66Us. I would be happy to provide this for the GS516TP but don't know how.
nvram show | grep vlan.*ports
vlan1ports=1 2t 3 4 8*
vlan2ports=0 8u
vlan14ports=2t 8
vlan15ports=2t 8
nvram show | grep port.*vlans
port5vlans=1 2 14 15 16
port3vlans=1 18 19 21
port1vlans=1 18 19 21
port4vlans=1 18 19 21
port2vlans=1 14 15 16 18 19 21
port0vlans=2 18 19 21
nvram show | grep vlan.*hwname
vlan2hwname=et0
vlan15hwname=et0
vlan1hwname=et0
vlan14hwname=et0
thank you for your response,
Dan

Thanks for the update. I'm glad that creating VLAN 10 and moving everything to VLAN 10 make it work. :)
