Interesting links:
R6850:
https://fccid.io/NCC/CCAI18LP1420T8 gives a different FCCID
https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/PY317300390 gives PY317300390

There doesn't seem to be any difference. I physically have both of them in my hands. The boxes, antenna situation looks identical. I could not tell these apart, except for the stickers on the back, one saying R6350 one showing R6850, and of course showing different MAC addresses etc as usual.

I propose merging the two pages about the routers. The hardware is identical. I haven't actually flashed 23.05x Release on the R6850 but that's my next step.

The only different thing I noticed is the default router IP was 172.16.0.1 instead of 192.168.x.1
Firmware on it was V1.1.0.52_1.0.1. Otherwise, flashed over to Openwrt just like the R6350.

Not all differences that necessitate dedicated (OpenWrt-) images need to be on the hardware side, bootloader imposed h/w IDs and different flash partitioning also need to be accounted for to support a new device.

Ok. But in this case, they are identical. I don't know what else to tell you about them.
