What is the most stable recent version of the firmware for DIR-878 A1? I am on r48897 and it is working well but periodically router freezes. I can deal with reboots, but freezes require human interaction which is not always easy or even possible.

There are no stables and wont be unless that changes. DD-WRT is in perpetual beta. And stable is just some arbitrary build it means nothing specifically generally speaking to stability.

You can... make a nvram backup at your current version, Upgrade to very latest http://ftp.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2022/08-15-2022-r49741/dlink-dir878-a1/, reset and reconfigure from scratch + clear browser cache and see how that goes.

I would give the next public build a whirl also as many fixes going in.

You can always return to your old build and then restore your backup.

I mean stable as not having major issues and not crashing every few days. More stable than the one I am using right now .

There are no such guarantees about any particular build not even the router database builds, its impossible to make any such guarantees.

We have build report threads where users report their finding such as https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=332760 but unless people flash and report against each build we will never know what is what.

Also such reports are to be taken with a pinch of salt, simply because a particular user can have a setup and settings which work well and stable (reasonably speaking) for that/their scenario, but some other setups and settings may trigger issues bugs or instability.

Since most build thread reports dont specify the setups specifically we cant know or advise. So your question falls into the flip of the coin realm.

I recommended to you a sane way to find out and report, do with it as you will.
