Hi Merlin,
I want to check the performance of FULLMAC BCM4365 by using a SOFTMAC driver to bypass the internal firmware and gain flexibility of modifying the chip behaviour. Can you help me out from which step I should start?
I have login via SSH to the Router and first checked for the debug information from BCM4365 to Router AC86U Kernel. But I did not find clearly the Debug Info via doing this. Can you help me with the exact steps?

Thanks and Regards,
Sufian
 
Can't help you, beside mentioning the router has a BCM4366E, not a BCM4365.
 
Thank you for your reply. As mentioned in https://wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_RT-AC86U ASUS AC86U has two wifi chips:
WI1 chip1: Broadcom BCM4366E
WI1 802dot11 protocols: an+ac
WI1 MIMO config: 4x4:4
WI1 antenna connector: U.FL, RP-SMA
WI2 chip1: Broadcom BCM4365E
WI2 802dot11 protocols: bgn
WI2 MIMO config: 3x3:3
WI2 antenna connector: RP-SMA
 
Ah right, they used a lower-end chip for the 2.4 GHz band to cut down on costs on that model.

I have no idea if what you want to do is possible, sorry.
