AC58U no wireless option in network after installing 18.06.1

The Factory and Factory2 partition data can be accessed via /dev/ubi0_1 and /dev/ubi0_2. You can ssh into the router and then do something like:

# cp /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp
# cp /dev/ubi0_2 /tmp

and optionally run sha256sum to check whenever they match or not:

# sha256sum /tmp/ubi0_[12]
b8744d39caf018573962b25ff6c28913776a1fa24495dcd55100ca2a1789ffaa    /tmp/ubi0_1
b8744d39caf018573962b25ff6c28913776a1fa24495dcd55100ca2a1789ffaa    /tmp/ubi0_2

(yours might be different)

As for getting the data from the router: you can use scp on your host PC to copy both files directly into your home directory.

   (PC) $ scp root@OpenWrt:/tmp/ubi0_* ~
   ubi0_1                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       100%  124KB   3.4MB/s   00:00    
   ubi0_2                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       100%  124KB   3.9MB/s   00:00 

Or, you could connect a usb-stick to the router, etc.
