"Mr. Higgins" had no problem installing, but I've used so many of these things that installation isn't really an issue.I cannot personally state its ease of use, but await Mr. Higgins' review of his installation experience. I found the related model ESR7750 a plug and play install.

The review will be rather short since you already have performance info and functional details. Basically, its wired routing is extremely fast and supposedly handles 19000 sessions (EnGenius is going to send me proof of this since I can't test it.) Wireless is fast and can exceed 100 Mbps for multiple connections, not single. But performance falloff with range is higher than other products I've seen. So it'll give you fast wireless if you have a good signal, but has slightly lower range than many products.
Seems like a good deal for a single-band N router. But support will be the weak point.
Nope. Sorry.Are there any chances to see 9850 tested with WAN×PPTP? Thanks.
I've verified with EnGenius (Senao) that the ESR9850 does support up to 9K jumbo frames. But they are not officially specified / supported.I decided to give Engenius a call @ their technical support number (888-735-7888), and I asked if jumbo frames were supported and if so what size. The response was that the ESR9850 does not support jumbo frames. Now I don't know who is correct, but given that the manual doesn't state a size makes me think that they do not. I wish I knew.
Good idea. When I get the How We Test Routers article up, I'll post the downloads there.Mr. Higgins,
Could you please make a tool to test max session limit available for download somewhere?
Developer's page is no longer available, and author more than likely wouldn't mind since tool was distributed as freeware.
Thanks!

It would of course be limited to 100 Mbps speed, which would be in the 90 Mbps range. This wouldn't matter in practical use unless your ISP connection is > 100 Mbps.Hello,
what is known about WAN-LAN thoughput of ESR9850 on the 10/100Mbit network? Does it drops down to ~65Mbits or it stays at ~100Mbit/s? Thank U
Thanks for posting the results.Thank you for the max. session test tool!
I just tested a Patton Smartnode 4600 voip router: 45.500 sessions.
