I recently purchased an AC86U from Amazon Warehouse, trying to save a few dollars in getting a "very good" unit that hopefully just didn't fit the original purchaser's needs. Unfortunately, the 2.4ghz radio seems to be dead out of the box. The LED light never lit up and the MAC address is empty for the 2.4 radio. I reset the unit a few times soft and hard, enabled/disabled the radio via the config settings and ultimately decided that I didn't want this unit to be my primary router because I didn't trust the quality even if I had gotten the radio to work (which I didn't). It was a 2018 v1.5 unit, which I've now read had a number of 2.4ghz radio issues reported. It's going back to Amazon today.
Amazon just got new units back in stock. Has anyone purchased a new one from Amazon recently? What manufactured year did you get? Are there 2020 models out there or did they stop in 2019 and are just selling old stock?
