Can confirm this still works. I used the recovery flash mode to flash both the GT-AC2900 stock and merlinwrt firmware on my AC86U. It now has access to 160mhz and everything just works, I turned off the custom RGB stuff though since that’s not a thing on this model. Just don’t factory reset after flashing, it breaks it a bit and you might want to flash it again in recovery mode. I’m using it as a media bridge with my AX86U and can now finally utilize the 160mhz bandwidth. Recovery mode: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1000814/
