Just wanted to say I've been rolling on
DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/25/13) giga - build 21061
for years in this Asus RT-AC66U, only rebooted it maybe 5 times if ever. (ISP tech support insisted on rebooting, when we well know it's not the routers fault.)
It's been rock solid since I picked it up from the store, the first thing I did when I got home was to wipe factory and install DDWRT on it, and it's been stable since.
I was just passing by checking to see if there was a never version of the firmware, but from what I read ... It appears I'm better off staying with my current version.

Stumbled upon this thread and surprised to read of widespread instability -- which I've also been experiencing in builds from the past year.
This is in two separate ac68u routers, both BS and Kong builds, and even connected with two different modems.
Sometimes just the wifi drops, but most times there's a complete system crash, and with nothing in the log to indicate the cause.
Been running dd-wrt for ~10 years in several routers and it's always been (well, mostly) rock-solid. Until now. How to find the problem code without a log entry to give a clue where to look I do not know. _________________ My old self (phonetics-R-fun)
As a DD-WRT user since the late 2000's I periodically search this topic. For me the latest "mostly stable" build I found was 33555 (10/20/2017), which I run on my RT-AC66U's and RT-N16's. Shame this seems like it's a dead end.
When I finally replace my routers (looking at the RT-AC86U or RT-AX86U's now) I'll run AsusWRT-Merlin. Downside is it doesn't look like Merlin has all the traffic and bandwidth utilization graphs DD-WRT does, but at least it's current and still being developed.
