Update: Encountered an unscheduled reboot with the DIR-878 a few minutes ago. Will disable a configured Schedule Reboot to see if this reboot was random or an ongoing problem.
Check your logs to see if any entries are listed. If you had schedule reboot configured, was at this time or different? What do you have configured for the reboot?

I'm not sure that even the latest DD-WRT builds are stable on the DIR-878. I've been testing for several weeks now across several December & January DD-WRT builds and the router still reboots on me randomly during heavy upload activity. I can make it happen pretty consistently just by throwing a large (~ 2 GB) file in my Dropbox folder and allowing it to sync up to the cloud.
Not sure that this information helps you, but it could be related to the unscheduled reboots you're seeing? I've returned to the stock D-Link firmware for now, however performance and range are nowhere near as good as with DD-WRT.
Thanks for the observation jdubuc.
If the developers can replicate problem, perhaps they can correct it.
That would be great. I’m not too familiar with the DD-WRT project structure, but is there an official channel for reporting bugs like this? Also, I tried enabling the syslog to see whether I could get any information about what’s causing the reboot for me but came up blank. Does anyone know how one might go about trying to get some additional information about what’s going on for the DD-WRT devs?
The webflash is for when you want to upgrade to the next release or a previous one once already on dd-wrt. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
