Over the weekend, I tweaked a couple of settings and wound up changing our WiFi password, reconnecting 12 devices in our home (laptops, desktop, TVs, DVD / BR players, printers and smartphones). Everything connected without a hitch. Very good signal throughout the home. No reboots and most importantly.. no disconnect complaints from my family Wink

At this point I will only report back if I experience a problem, but right now up just shy of 5 days without a reboot.

My router (Linksys WRT 1900AC) has been up for 5 days now with no reboots or any network problems. Wi-Fi signal strength seems to be fluctuating a little but that might be due to outside reasons.

Everything continues to be stable and working properly. The only issue is that the Wi-Fi signal seems to be set rather low in signal strength. It is not a big issue.

I've noticed the same thing as well as it seems like the bandwidth is less as well. I had to drop from 12 wireless IP Cams to 8 in order to keep them all connected and somewhat stable.

I would prefer going back to DD-WRT if there was a stable version that has a current kernel for security.

Even the link speed is lower. This maybe the last stock driver update, at least for the Marvell drivers forever or a long time. That's my feeling.

I currently have 14 devices connected to this router, no complaints of dropped signals from my family, and the router's uptime is in excess of 18 days at this point.

Our home is not large (1,900 square feet) so coverage is not an issue.
