The previous build I was using, 29085, had some weird micro-disconnects for clients, the connection would randomly drop for half a second and then go back up.
I'm currently using 29387 and it seems to be solid so far.
My usage is somewhat light, though: PPPoE, DHCP, DDNS, VPN, some manual port forwards and also uPnP activated.
I've noticed that the newer builds start up with a much higher CPU load compared to the old ones, but in time it goes back to normal levels.
So for anyone looking for a newer build for this router, currently my recommendation is 29387.
As with all builds, you'll need to flash it from the original Linksys firmware. _________________ I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Where could be found b29387? It's removed from FTP. Or, which another build still available have proofed stable?

I'm not quite sure why it was removed, but I've done another update (that I've forgotten to mention) to build 29409 and it's running smooth, so you should try that one from here. _________________ I reject your reality and substitute my own.
Hi, what would be the latest stable version of DD-WRT for Linksys EA2700?
I have one of those with the newer "smart" firmware, didn't use it for a while and now would like to try DD-WRT.
Don't use 5GHz, but all my 2.4GHz wifi clients (a couple of android devices + one PC) connect at 65 Mbps. Is this normal?
Tried changing the channel and all options in the settings, nothing helps. I guess DD-WRT doesn't have this problem?

I have a router Linksys EA6500 working fine using 5Ghz wifi on a ddwrt firmware.. I also have a router Linksys EA2700 that I want to use with ddwrt firmware..
Why is that 5Ghz is not supported on EA2700? Is there any hw limitation ?
And after hours of trying, the router was rejecting to install the ddwrt firmware, the solution was so fuc... simple, just get the latest linksys firmware, wait the router to boot after a normal reset (10sec) and then update directly the .trx file. Done! _________________ Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 --- (r14929-std)-RETIRED
Linksys EA2700 v1 --- (r29409)
TP-Link WR841N v9.3 --- (r27506)
TP-Link WDR4300 v1.7 --- (r26622)
I've just recently installed DD-WRT for the first time, and flashed r37305. I had an issue with the Wireless and so I updated to the lates Beta I could find in the FTP - r38581. Still the same issue.
The problem is that from time to time, Internet access via Wireless just stops working - I remain connected to the router (as I see a strong signal in the tray area) but attempting to load any web page hangs and timeouts. Until I manuall re-connect the Wireless connection. Then it is immediatelly fixed.
