reading this thread makes me realize that most of these builds are really crapshoots
I find the same thing with factory firmware. It usually works if you're just doing standard gateway stuff, but when you need the more advanced functions, you find all kinds of quirks. Or, the one option that makes the advanced feature useful is missing.
Here are my experiences with ASUS RT-N16, k2.6 builds as I never managed to have k3.x working on those routers.
My basic needs are to have HTTPS administration interface with a SSL certificate that is accepted by recent browsers, 2 LAN ports and a wifi on the private network and 2 LAN ports and a wifi on the public network. Both wifi must have a password.
So far the last revision that meet my requirements is 26125. The newer revisions including the current latest (29621), if I set security on wl0.1 it will not be functional. A bug report was filed about a year ago but it seems so far to not have been fixed: http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/bugtracker/view.php?id=4692
I have never had problems with Kong's build 29620M, so if you are looking for a "stable" build, that is the one I recommend, but 29300M is also regarded as very stable.
The first K4 build wich was stable for me was Kong's 30430M.
Further builds with good mileage: Kong 30465M, Kong 30700M _________________ Routers:Netgear R7000, R6400v1, R6400v2, EA6900 (XvortexCFE), E2000, E1200v1, WRT54GS v1.

Build 31870M is a very good build for Asus AC68U. Stable wifi on both bands. Everything seems to work solidly without any issues _________________ Netgear R7000 on Build 55109

How about performance.? The weak part of dd-wrt compared con Asus-Wrt
I have no performance issues. Get the full throughput l'm paying for from my ISP. I have 96 MB down and slightly less up, paying for 100/100. Does not get better if I bypass the router. _________________ Netgear R7000 on Build 55109

Could you please post a link to 31870M as I can only find 31980M and it is giving me 25 MB download on my 70MB link

@Xeon2k8 Thanks for posting your feedback on the build. I always struggle trying to find out when/which build to update to.

Posted: Wed Jul 19, 2017 16:07 Post subject: Netgear R7000 Nighthawk - Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r30880M kong
for my Netgear R7000 , Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r30880M kongac (11/14/16) has been the most stable.
Everything works, VPN, IPV6 the lot...
I do have one gripe, my ZyXEL modem/router (VMG8924-B10A running as modem only - bridged) reports it's capable of 56Mbps download, but the Netgear R7000 only manages 48Mbps download speed...? Anyone else figure out how to achieve max throughput...?)
Any newer Firmware sends my router haywire !
Would be grateful if any other newer version is stable on any owners R7000 ?
Posted: Thu Sep 14, 2017 21:05 Post subject: Netgear R6400 and Dlink-DIR860L-A1
Have tested for more than 2 months Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r32170M kongac (06/11/17) on Netgear R6400 and Dlink-DIR860L-A1 and have no complaints. Everything that I have been testing works fine and very stable (no restarts or errors) - Open VPN server, PPTP VPN server, DNScrypt, dnssec, privoxy, remote HTTPS management, USB file sharing and SAMBA server. Working on both 2.4 and 5 GHz WLAN and getting excellent speeds both on home LAN and WAN and good range as well.
One thing noticed with Dlink-DIR860L - tried to use it as repeater on 2.4GHz - again works fine except I cannot connect to VAP if authentication is enabled for the VAP, so clients had to connect only to 5GHz radio. Desided that it is firmware related so updated to Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r33010M kongac (08/09/17) - again all worked fine and stable except for the repeater as described above. Did not try this with the Netgear R6400.
