Guys, this thread is not for reporting issues with any particular build with [missing router info and setup here]. Please report these kind of things on the relevant [SoC type]>[build number] thread.
Please let's focus on which build one would recommend to a fellow with a similar gear and scenario like ours. _________________ If you want support, please read first the announcements and forum rules.

General use:
Broadcom devices with K3.x: DD-WRT v3.0-r41321 mega (10/14/19) [Linksys E1200v2]
I've tried several newer builds up to 44538 and every one of them causes the router to bog down and need a reboot after a few weeks of uptime. It acts as though the memory gets full or something. With 41321 it just keeps running and I can just forget about it. I plan to try 45955 or newer as recommended by kernel-panic69 though, when I have a few spare hours.
Follow-up: the 45955 build was working well until yesterday when my router suddenly died. No lights come on or anything. No fault of DD-WRT, it was just old and finally quit working. Oh, well, I got my money's worth out of it as I've had it for almost 10 years.
If a Router has WiFi enabled, I would NOT use any build below 05/13/2021 - r46640 since this build introduced fixes to the CVE-2020-26147, CVE-2020-24586, CVE-2020-24587, & CVE-2020-24588 Fragattack.
It shows WiFi Routers with builds above r46640. Internal Routers with Wifi disabled can use any build.
My Gateway Router with or without WiFi are using r47033. Offsite#2 will be updated from the old r44483 once I'm given time swap out the router and update the ethernet cabling. This site needs a strong 2.4Ghz signal and wasn't happy with builds over r46640 until I installed r47033 on a spare R7000 to test in my home. I did tweak the wl0 2.4Ghz radio setting to...
