for what it's worth, here's my 2 cents on my initial eval of the EOC-2610:
first, thanks malcolmchng for posting the DD-WRT flashing instructions.
second, even though the EOC2610 has 200mw more power then the ubntNS2 and 4MB more flash, it seems that not having "AP repeater" mode available could b a show-stopper for some integrators...in some cases, i would lean more towards the ubntNS2 if i needed AP repeater mode since the EOC2610 doesn't offer it...here in the USA, the ubntNS2 is around $20USD more then the EOC2610...also, it seems that DD-WRT UI is painfully slow on the EOC2610 than the ubntNS2...i don't necessarily think this is a problem w/DD-WRT, but it's slower than on other hardware i've installed DD-WRT on...i'll continue to post my findings as i discover them...cheers...;-} _________________ WRT54G-TM (12/17/08) mega-11218

aeh ddwrt offers the same featureset for the eoc and the ns/ps. but since the eoc has 8mb flash it has even the features of the "full" firmware like x86/avila.

hey Sash, i wasn't trying to say i don't like the EOC2610, but i do have an activated copy of DD-WRT on an EOC2610 that i received this week & i didn't find the option for "AP Repeater"....i do find WDS AP/STATION, but not AP Repeater...basically was pointing out what differences i found...cheers...;-} _________________ WRT54G-TM (12/17/08) mega-11218

I have a eoc-2610 with v24-sp2 loaded and I do not notice any slowness.
Also "WDS ap" and "WDS station" are supported and working.
keenanj,
again, i'm merely posting my findings...i'm not saying there's anything wrong w/the EOC2610...in fact, i'm glad Senao/Engenious is working w/BS & Sash on this product unlike ubnt...you are correct "WDS AP/Station" IS WORKING, but AP REPEATER DOESN'T...maybe by using capital letters i can make myself more clear....also, i'm not saying the EOC2610 is slow in PERFORMANCE, i did say it seems that the DD-WRT web-interface/gui/UI seems to be much slower than other hardware that i have DD-WRT installed on...it just so happens that in the past few months, i've had the opportunity to test DD-WRT on many "NEWLY RELEASED" routerboards and off-the-shelf APs (like EOC2610) & I can tell a noticable difference in how much slower the web-interface "feels" in the DD-WRT/EOC2610 configuration...i understand that Senao/Engenius & DD-WRT developers are working hard, but these forums merely allow a "truthful" conversation of what NORMAL people in the field experience...NORMAL people are customers who purchase these products and use them in different ways...again, the EOC2610 seems to be a great product...thanks for your input...cheers...;-} _________________ WRT54G-TM (12/17/08) mega-11218
