Where I can find the current betas, I know, thank you.
If only stable versions were offered in the router database, it would be clear to me.
Since there are only betas to be found there, why not immediately the most current version.
Is there a reason for that?
Are these to be regarded as "stable" or at least "more stable"?

My best guess is that when the router database was updated, the ball was dropped and it's not kept current, which is why it's always a good idea to check the appropriate forum's build threads....

All builds are beta. The Router Database used to only list random old (usually 'minimum supported version') builds; but they changed it last year to (eventually...) just point to the latest build. Before, after, and forevermore, the advice has been to not use it. Much better to read the FAQ. _________________ #NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD#Repeater issues#DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo#

Im also having the same issue as "KSandro".
Been through dozens of pages & ftp folders, that lead to a different firmware, each time.
Finally, found a page (see link below), that offered "14929 mini" firmware. Is this the latest?
If not, can someone point me to the newest version?
Thanks!
Kong (also a ddwrt devloper) supports a small subset of routers with his own builds, he is using the same repository so differences are minor, but he always tests his builds first and has a "stable" build and test build. You can find his builds here: https://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/
Every Build has a build thread so you are encouraged to take a look in the build threads if the build you want to upload poses any problems.
Of course some wiki's are recommending builds and for a first flash you often have to upload a particular build.

That was just an old standard (Peacock announcement) "recommended" build, and the wiki lists it for initial flash as a known good starting point to then upgrade to a newer version.
So you could just go to the newest build, but then you don't know if it might (have a higher probability to...) brick your router. Thus one should always research the new build threads (as @egc noted) before flashing. This is in the FAQ ("Where do I download firmware?"->Note) linked in my previous post. _________________ #NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD#Repeater issues#DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo#

Thanks. I've been on the ftp site before, looking for another firmware.
Actually, I've upgraded a few routers about 9-10 years ago using old BrainSlayer builds, and was curious as to how much the firmware has advanced over the years, if any.
It's a shame the site is sorta in shambles, and not as straight forward as it once was.
But, I'll tinker with Kong builds, and see what happens.
Again, Thanks.
You just want the normal broadcom builds, maybe like 33772 or 33555, unless you want to play around. Newer BCM builds have had lots of various problems. Always read the new build threads before flashing. _________________ #NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD#Repeater issues#DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo#
