Ok...I unbricked my RT-AC86U now. But 5GHz Wifi is still completely dead, has no MAC-Address. Any Ideas?

Ok...I made Full NAND-Dump of working RT-AC86U with FlashcatUSB. PM me if you are Interested.

Hi I Re Initialized the NAND on my rt-ac86u "by Mistake" from the Serial Console, because im an idiot. Now NAND is completely empty....: BTRM V1.6 CPU0 L1CD MMUI MMU7 DATA ZBBS MAIN OTP? OTPP USBT NAND IMG? FAIL Is there any possibility to unbrick? Flash NAND with Programmer? Thanks
