Hello,
I just flashed the 27506 code to my DIR-860L. It seemed working well at first. But it happened to disconnect the internet connection frequently. It may happen while watching the video or browsing the webpage once every a few ten minutes. It is really annoying. Since every one reported it is stable version, so I am thinking it probably caused by improper setting. Can some one kindly tell me how to correct it?
As well, I found my TP-Link (TL-PS310U) stops the scan function since the dd-wrt code flashed. May it be related to the issue of internet disconnection?

I"m running build 27858 without any problems. Did you select reset to defaults before you flashed the rom? I forgot to do that one time before I flashed and ran into the problem you are describing.

Thanks for reply.
Where did you find the 27858 code? Can you please post the link for it?
I have tried to reset the router a couple hours ago, it seems no disconnection happened as more.
One more question, can you do bandwidth monitoring per user?
Thanks!

I installed dd-wrt on my dir-860L A1 and it works quite nice, except for port forwarding. I tried build 07-06-2015-r27490/dlink-dir860l-a1/ and it did forward after I did the trick with disable-enable SPI firewall; but that only worked if I was on wireless, not on cable. So I tried build 07-09-2015-r27506/dlink-dir860l-a1 but port forwarding stopped working entirely. Did anybody else had this problem on this build/router?
I also tried reinstalling dd-wrt by erasing nvram instead of 30sec hard reset before and after flash (is that the correct way?), and the ideas in http://www.wordmark.org/Wndr3700.html. I am thinking about flashing a newer build, but which one?
Well, here is some extra info, maybe I messed something visible:

I have two 860l a1 routers. One is running on 28598 firmware and the other is running 28647. I have no stability issues at all with either one. I have VPN set up on 28598 and it's working fine.
Did you try adding this and saving it to the firewall in commands?
insmod ipt_mark
Insmod xt_markiptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i ! `get_wanface` -d `nvram get wan_ipaddr` -j MARK --set-mark 0xd001
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m mark --mark 0xd001 -j MASQUERADE

Yes, tried that firewall command; I tried it again now just to make sure it's exactly the same... I will try the builds that work for you, 28598, and [hopefully I will not need also] 28647.

How do you flash back to the stock dlink firmware?
My 860 A1 is current flashed to DD-WRT 28647.
1. Download the latest firmware for the router from D-Link.
2. Set your PC's Ethernet adapter to use static IP address 192.168.0.2 and netmask 255.255.255.0. Connect your PC to a router LAN port.
3. Activate the router's bootloader by pressing and holding the reset button until the power light continually blinks amber. (It will blink just a few times after holding for a couple seconds, but needs about 30 seconds to get to the continual blink.)
4. Use Firefox to connect to 192.168.0.1 and upload the firmware. The router reboots itself when flashing is complete.
Note that with Internet Explorer, Chrome, curl, and likely others, the bootloader ignores the uploaded firmware and never responds to the HTTP request. (Fortunately, while only very old versions Internet Explorer don't trigger the bug in the bootloader's HTTP stack, all version of Firefox, including the latest, are compatible.)
5. Set your PC's Ethernet adapter to use DHCP. After the router assigns it an IP address (so you know the router has finished booting), reset the router to factory default configuration by pressing and holding the reset button until the power light continually blinks amber again. Then power cycle the router.

That worked perfectly! Excellent clearly written instructions, thank you!

Actually that is why I was asking about going back to stock. Same experience.
Just got gigabit myself and was only getting 320-330Mbs WAN to LAN using DD-WRT 28647. LAN to LAN was 520-580Mbs.
Revert to stock and jumped to 860Mbs. So very similar experience to yours.
