Implies 37305 works without bricking. But what is the "official" stable release? Do builds get tagged with "release", "stable", etc? How do I determine in the future which release is "latest stable" ?
For anyone that *has* bricked their router with a "bad" release version, were you able to recover via tftp method?

After a long time I reactivated an old WNDR4500v1 and flashed it with version 40400.
After a week I can now say that this version runs quite stable and is suitable for "normal" applications.
I use WLAN 2.4 and 5 ; a restart is done once a week automatically ; VPN PPTP Server works; WLAN Scheduler works; transfer rates also fit (dl80/ul10)
Flashing was completely unproblematic via the GUI - version 29002 was in use for over a year.
A good way to give an old device a second or third life

This thread was locked due to it's cumbersome size at some point; please, for initial flash, try 21676 first, not the build in the wiki. Then upgrade to a current release.
