Finally found a store selling the 9850 yesterday so I grabbed one and set it up.
First question, the 2.0 Firmware is only available on the US site. Other than disabling the ability to use Channel 12 & 13, is there anything else that would prevent me from installing it on a SE Asia based device ?
After coming from a DIR-655, it was a bit of a shock to see the spartan Web Gui. The Log function is next to useless. It shows no firewall activity.
The DHCP section is a real pain if you want to reserve IPs. Everything needs to be manually entered and you can't copy and paste a MAC address if it has the : in between every 2 characters. There is no option to reserve an IP from the current DHCP leases. The worst bit, there is only room for 10 reservations in the DHCP Table.
Other than that, haven't seen much performance improvement mainly because I haven't put it through it's paces.
