I've tested both firmware (now 29739). Nothing better after flashing.

The worst router in my life this tplink wdr3600. Wrong signal after 5m, very bad quality transfer. I tried advenced settings, nothing not better

I attached two picture. The range is ~4m On the 2.4GHz the red signal is the wdr3600 (the blue is a other device around 7m)

router is not bad, simply the ddwrt firmware is not good...
i had the same drops in ping, shitty coverage... until i instaled the tp-link fw, and its working fine, for days and days

I am using build 30385 on TL-WDR3600 with PPPoE, OpenVPN, Access Restrictions, QoS and few Port Forwards and Firewall rules and all is working fine.

I've been running 27858 for months and it has been working well. I got the info from this thread:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1052748

Any other reports of newer firmware working well?

ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2016/10-06-2016-r30731/ is the latest firmware for my TL-WDR3600 ver. 1.5 that works well. It's working with all Wi-Fi devices on the network and there are no drops. The builds after 30731 have been problematic: horrible Wi-Fi latency, drops, and poor 5 GHz coverage.

I have a WDR3600 V1.5 running Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r30709 std (09/29/16)
Although it's stable running 2.4 gig, enabling 5gig just causes instability as well as packet loss.
I've not tried any other versions thus far as I was waiting for a stable update to address CVE-2016-5195
I'm only using this device as an AP so can't comment on other Wan related problems. I had an uptime of 16 days stable though with just 2.4gig enabled.

Thanks to all the people that make DD-WRT happen, Awesome!

I have random drops with the 5GHZ network. My FIrmware is build 28976

I have been having issues with the stock firmware which hasn't been updated in ages.
I have to reboot the router every week or so, otherwise my speed drops drastically.
How are your thoughts about ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2016/11-14-2016-r30880/tplink_tl-wdr3600v1/ ?
I plan on upgrading again to DDWRT, don't ask me why I switched back to stock, it was a mistake.

Also, is there a difference between the _us-webflash version and the other one?

[canadian_bacon]

so this latest firmware is quite bad. I had to revert back to stock.
both 5 and 2.4 are dropping like flies, my laptop actually goes down to 9mbps in the same room with the router after a while. The 5 network simply goes dark after awhile, it is no longer broadcasting. Tried a multitude of combinations, channels, channel width.
Quite disappointed to see how bad the firmware got for this router, it used to be really good a few years ago.
I guess i will stay on stock for a while or go buy another router with a better stock firmware.
No issues going back and forth stock-ddwrt-stock.
