Which if I am reading correctly in all the posts is the current recommended build for the unit. I understand that newer is not better...and the V24 pre SP2 is the newest version in general.
I thought Eko and BrainSlayer were different people...I know they only release one release now...is that why there is an eko, then BrainSlayer dir after?
I get the concept of builds and that they are just that...I make software too...and I suppose build announcements to tell people that one is stable or not. I guess all the bin files are just from a mass compile...possibly a change unrelated completely from Broadcom SoC stuff? Mostly for people to test.
I am using firmware that is over 4 years old right? It looks like very few vulrns exist in ddwrt firmware and that the builds I use are good against the last that was found.
I can accept that it is secure. Like OpenBSD is secure. I mean look how they patch...vs other OS's. Just a style of security.
It's true. If it's not broken then don't fix it. Newer builds won't necessarily give you more features and may hurt stability. I don't believe there are any known vulnerabilities in your current build either.
If you're curious, back-up your configuration and try a new build. It's easy to return back to your current setup.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully I can get the rest of these questions answered.

Hi, i am on Eko's build 14471M, never found nothing better, no lags nor reboots, fast wifi, etc.
Now i use it as repeater at my warehose, never disconects, great router with great firm. _________________ R7000 testing XVortex/Merlin's firm as AP @ home, VOIP, wifi printer, Roku 3 & 8 clients, Guest wifi, 2 wifi cameras, USB storage. Great firm. No more 1400 oveclocked, no need.
RT-N16 on VicTek's Raf Beta 9014-v1.3d. repeater @ Condominium pool side, a lot of clients messing arround.
wrt600n on wrt610n firm 16214 @ warehouse for 22 colleagues as wifi client @ 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz just for me.

wrt350n oldie 2007, 5 years bricked, recovered from dead & modded with antennas and new agn radio now incredible "NA mixed" on Brainslayer's , repeater at my garage, modding as hobby (picture)
All at service.

Thanks for the report. Is there any reason you do not use 14929?

Not realy, the thing is there is no any "very common people" change log to watch at, and see what change has one firm over the past other firms, so changes between both may be minimum, and 14471 for me is very stable/reliable, that is what i need most.
You can test both and choose what is best for you _________________ R7000 testing XVortex/Merlin's firm as AP @ home, VOIP, wifi printer, Roku 3 & 8 clients, Guest wifi, 2 wifi cameras, USB storage. Great firm. No more 1400 oveclocked, no need.

I think you have picked up on something that I did not read in the forums before. I mean, they have threads dedicated to helping people figure out the firmware but none of them ever seem to mention:

Yeap, the second one, you have to check thousands of lines back and be an IT to get what EKO changed between his firms long time ago. _________________ R7000 testing XVortex/Merlin's firm as AP @ home, VOIP, wifi printer, Roku 3 & 8 clients, Guest wifi, 2 wifi cameras, USB storage.

That is what I am looking at now. I have a log of all the commits from 14929 to 25252.
It is really cool how all the devices have support under one code tree. Looking through utils.c it seems there is a decent amount of code searching for different routers, etc.
I have seen specific builds for certain models. Do you know how they hook that specific code in when the execute a build in the build system?
Do the specific builds for specific models remove code too?

So after looking through a lot of the change log and some of the code. I really would like a suggestion or information really about weather it is even recommended to try new revisions.
It looks like there are a few fixes every now and then along with new code for new devices.
Anyone want to recommend a revision to start with that is newer for the WRT54GL v1.1 and a reason to start with it.
