Featurewise it seems similar to the Dlink DIR-825.

I have not tried a 610n, but other linksys routers have always been very
hot, which the dlink certainly isn't.

The DIR-825 is a 680MHz MIPS.  The 610n is a 300MHz MIPS.  The DIR-825 is
atheros based.  The 610n is broadcom.  I personally will not buy stuff
with broadcom chips in it if I can avoid it.  They really seem to hate
open source and customers in general.
