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.
confirming, seems this revision is one of the "latest best"
Someone ever seen the 5ghz led ON with dd-wrt?
r30731 still also have Dirty Cow Exploit.

It was patched by brainslayer about 8 days ago for 4.4 kernel. Awesome sauce!!
after some hours (or days) of perfect uptime my router will start refusing all new wireless connections, what is needed to get it back to work is just click "apply" on wireless settings page ... what could be the issue? are you also experiencing it
ps. i have both radio in HT40 mode, using the 2.4 as WDS AP with another WDR3600 bridged as WDS Station
I've been having issues with the 5 GHz disappearing after a while, or when there's heavy traffic. I've tried v30880 and now tried downgrading to v30731 (after seeing the comments above) but unfortunately the problem still persists.

I'm also facing this issue, and i think that is an hardware failure that affects these routers, also readed about it somewere on OpenWRT Wiki
Had no problems with the stock firmware. Having problems with 5GHz on latest DD-WRT firmware. Haven't tried 2.4GHz. Downgraded to the 10-06-2016 firmware and will evaluate.
[Update] 10-06-2016 firmware appears to work fine.
I'm using a WDR3600 1.4 behind a HITRON cable modem managed by my ISP (KabelDeutschland / Vodafone in Germany).
After running a year the stock firmware version TL-WDR3600_V1_150518 I wanted to try a open firmware.
After reading a lot of feedback from the forum this is my personal summary for the WDR3600:
v24 PreSP2 21061 2013-04-24 recommendation from dd-wrt.com
v24 PreSP2 22118 2013-07-24 recommendation from this thread
v24 PreSP2 24461 2014-06-23 should also be very stable
v24 PreSP2 25697 2014-12-22 stable too
v24 beta 27858 2015-09-28 stable
v24 beta 30731 2016-10-06 latest stable release
In the end I decided to use v24 PreSP2 24461 2014-06-23. Installation via Webinterface using the Wiki here was without any problems.
The configuration was also very easy for me: I've connected my PC via cable, mobile phones via the 2.4G wlan and the Amazon HDMI Stick for Prime Video and Netflix via 5G wlan.
After one weekend with heavy usage- no problems at all. Everything works fine

Hey datenzentrale,
Thanks a lot for your summary!
Could you please confirm everything's still working fine with this firmware?
After Upload the new 08/25/2017 my WDR3600 is very slow. CPU works heavy high and after some minutes the CPU Load go down. USB Nas does not work und found no USB Stick.
04/24/2017 same Bug
02/01/2017 same Bug
01/06/2017 same Bug
09/01/2016 same Bug
08-24/2016 NAS OK, but first start very slow and high CPU in first minutes
07/01/2016 more like 01/13/2016 little high CPU at first start.
So I figured it was about time to update my firmware and I'm confused because the version I currently have is 3 years old and is called v24-sp2 build 24461. I would expect to see a newer version available and the timestamp on the one listed the web site is dated only a month or two ago, but says it is version 24 pre SP2 beta, build 21061. Why does it appear to be even older than the 3 year old version I currently have?
