I installed it today and it seems more stable than last 98 firmware..
Firmware 98 always stopping dishing out ip addresses after one day or 2..
My wifi devices will stop working after that, I had to reboot the router every one or two days.
I suspect I am getting DOS attack from the WAN port once in awhile and the router firmware hanged..

That can happen. If the logs show a lot of action on that front, the router's processor can gag on the traffic. It seems that QoS and traffic metering can do the same thing. Indeed, according to reports here, so can anything that asks the processor to expend any effort.
To test your theory, you can disable logging. It doesn't remove the protection.
