The software in both of these routers is very similar and default settings on almost all things work just fine. Not sure how Hybrid 150 or greater would behave though. I'm only on Hybrid 60 so see peaks of 100 Mb/s download speeds with the internet and with consistency where I am, so the combination is working well for me at this point. I have gone back to my ASUS RT-N56U with the CGN3 in bridge mode and getting about 200 Mb/sec on internal wireless speeds using 5 Ghz and going to the AC68U didn't improve things that much, so I didn't bother keeping it. I didn't find enough of an improvement from my previous RT-N56U to pay the extra $. I too tried out the AC68U with the CGN3 a couple of months ago but didn't keep the AC68U after trying it out. As Gdkitty already suggested verify this first but need to be in gateway mode to see it. I don' t know how long you've had the CGN3 but if it's not on the current software version it can have sporadic performance issues. I'm surprised you're having this problem with the AC68U with the CGN3 in bridge mode. Just to note, if you set 802.11n as the operating standard, other devices that don't support that standard will probably not connect, despite everything else being set, ie, SSID, Passphrase, Encryption mode, etc. You might have to survey your devices to see what standards and rates they all support, and then decide what to set the Asus operating standard at. So, instead of selecting for example 802.11 b/g/n on the Asus router, which is a popular combo, you might want to select 802.11n as the operating mode, which forces the connecting device to run at 802.11n data rates. So, to counter that possibility, you would have to examine what standards the wireless devices support and decide on what rate you want them to operate. Gdkitty has indicated the possibility of a device locking down to a lower rate than what you would expect. In theory, I would hope that devices negotiate the connected rates at their highest capability, but don't count on it. The AC68, like many if not most routers supports a multitude of standards and speeds that go with those standards. Here is additional food for thought for the wireless speed.
