Any updates on stable versions? casualtester, which version are you currently using and for how long? ...


Currently running 04-06-2018-r35681
No problems encountered since it's release.
As my usual practice, erased nvram just before and just after the firmware update.
Note: The testing environment of the D-Link is in a condo complex, so the 2.4 GHz Channel Width is set to only 20 MHz due to ridiculously large amount of wireless traffic from neighbour routers and use of Apple (iPhones & iPads) products from some users. The Beacon Interval was also changed to 50, again due to the Apple products.

I intentionally avoided the last two releases, 04-19-2018-r35770 which was removed from the ftp server and 04-20-2018-r35770, due to feedbacks of "bricked" routers among some of the other brands.


Are you still on that version? My router has been disconnecting randomly on a daily basis and I'm looking for a stable version to update to

Currently using version 06-20-2018-r36168

NOTE: After a firmware update, I manually turn off, then turn the router back on. A few firmware versions previously, router would not reboot on it's own.

No.

The entire procedure that I ended up using:
1. Clearing the NVRAM: Telnet to router and entering the command erase nvram
2. Turn off the router using router's power button for a few seconds
3. Log back into the router and confirm that it is reset to defaults. If so, update via WebGUI.
4. Turn off the router using the router' power button for a few seconds
5. Clear the browser's cache
6. Log back into the router, check that update was completed, configure the router's settings.

7. Clear the browser's cache
8. Log back into the router, check that update was completed, for testing purposes I change the Router GUI Style from the default blue to red, then Save, then Apply Settings
9. Clear the NVRAM
10. Turn off the router for a few seconds, then turn it back on
11. Log into the router and verify NVRAM has cleared to defaults by checking that Router GUI Style is back to default Blue
12. Configure the router settings

I updated to the latest version v3.0-r36247 std 06/29/18

Loads of random crashes. It's actually worse than before Sad
Also I noticed that the crash occurs as soon as I start a big download on my browser.

Anyone else experiencing such issues?

Have not encountered crashes nor any problems downloading 10GB+ files at a rather slow 75Mb/s speeds with 06-29-2018-r36247.

If possible, test your router at another location. e.g. Relative's home with a proven stable internet connection.
If router works fine at your relative's home, then the issue is with your modem or connection serviced by your ISP.

In the end, I gave up and went back to OFW
No disconnects since
