Installed on my WRT1900ACS v1 yesterday and have been streaming music to my Picoreplayer all day plus watched some TV shows stored on a hard drive attached to the router plus did some gaming on my PS4 last night and it's all good
Installed r33006 on my Linksys WRT1900ACS as a flash upgrade without issues, running 24hours without issues so far. I kept the existing configuration which I normally do. My config isn't super complex but not out of box (ipv6 on, static lease reservations for about 55 devices, port forward rules, WAN access restriction for a block of reserved IPs for 18 video cameras).
History: I typically upgrade when a new build is available - almost blindly I have tried LEDE but didn't like how I had to configure my camera block rules so I went back to DD-WRT. My previous build history on WRT1900ACS V1:
* r32868 - 7 days - I had one reboot day one I think related to trying QOS, turned that back off; I don't usually use the feature but my ISP speed just changed and I was trying something. Not really sure if that was a build or config thing.
* r32753 - 6.5 days
* r32597 - 10 days
* r32170 - 35.5 days
* r31924 - 30.5 days

My guess the 4.9 kernel is being used. Only a matter of time on the wrt1900ac v1 before a reboot. This holds true for LEDE also, but one dev supplies a LEDE version with the 4.4 kernel.
You can see what version the kernel is by telnet or ssh in and on cli issue "uname -a" without the quotes of course.
Example from my wrt3200 running r33006:
uname -a
Linux wallaby 4.9.40 #35 SMP Sat Jul 29 03:12:47 CEST 2017 armv7l DD-WRT

I just checked and yes it is the same.
The previous version went about 2 days and change before the first reboot. After the initial one, however, it quickly snowballed to every few hours.
If they didn't occur so frequently, the automatic reboots wouldn't be an issue now that Samba restarts automatically. (31924 and earlier have to be manually restarted)
I'm gonna keep it running on 33006 for at least the weekend - just in case.

Been running Kong 2017-01-07 build for quite awhile. Finally took the plunge today and moved to BS r33006 on my WRT1900ACv1 (WDS Station), WRT1900ACSv1 (WDS AP), and even swapped in my spare WRT3200ACM (WDS AP) for awhile. Seems to be stable.
I would have left the WRT3200ACM swapped in as my primary router, except I don't think WDS works between the AC and ACM due to chip set differences or I am not setting it up correctly.

Installed the new firmware on a WRT1900ACSv2 yesterday from the previous build (full reset of settings and reboot after set-up). Running stable so far.
Installed Brainslayer r33006 on WRT1900ACS V1 last night. Overwrote Kong r31924 directly. Seem to be having some hiccups with Wifi connections, but i'm unable to nail the problems down properly yet.
5ghz is generally MUCH slower than 2.4 at the moment. 200mb connection, getting ~30mb on Macbook Pro. When I switch to 2.4 I get 100mb+. Not entirely sure why. Got it in AC/N Mixed, Channel 100, Extension channel UU (+6) and Channel width VHT80.
Any recommended settings to try?
I have changed channels a bit and noticed some variation in speed, but not clipping the 100+ on 2.4. hmm.
