Is 44048 the recommended stable firmware version by the community, if later versions experience WiFi issues on the WRT3200ACM ( mentioned in the threads below )?
Also, in terms of implementation, is it recommended ( for stability ) to web flash both partitions with the same firmware version, reset the configuration after flashing, manually reconfigure, and run the firmware off of partition 1, and are the commands below the correct way to web flash the same firmware on both partitions:
Path: GUI->Administration->Commands
Find current boot partition > ubootenv get boot_part
Install to partition one > ubootenv set boot_part 2 (don't reboot after running command)
Install to partition two > ubootenv set boot_part 1 (don't reboot after running command)

Considering the sheer complexity of forums like this one, the response to your request is incredibly unhelpful! For what it's worth, I was having similar WiFi problems on a Linksys 1900ACSv2 until I downgraded to an earlier firmware (DD-WRT v3.0-r36527, circa 2018). Since then, the internet dropouts I was encountering (wireless only, wired was unaffected) have not reoccured. There is a firmware version between r36527 and the latest build (which didn't work for me), but I haven't tried it. A couple of other observations. I have no issues accessing the DD-WRT GUI, but didn't have any with the latest firmware either. I run all Apple devices running the latest software and WiFi is stable and fast. So, look for a twice-removed older version of the firmware for your router and try that first. It may NOT be the most secure or 'stable' available, but it may also actually work as expected!
I've posted this not just out of courtesy to you, but so that a certain mod reading it might see how feedback of this nature could just help debuggers understand why later firmware versions are not working or prompt a warning for newbies NOT to use the latest firmware when setting up their Marvell based routers for the first time.
