Report: Installed r35681-2018.04.06 on my WRT1900ACS_v1 as a flash upgrade, keeping existing config. No issues for my config noticed so far - including DHCP, DNS, NTP all working for me unlike last build (r35667). I did notice I'm getting a 'B' grade on buffer bloat in multiple tests which lately has been 'A' (dslreports) - but I have connectivity!
Kernel Info: Linux 4.9.92 #124 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 2 01:55:33 CEST 2018 armv7l
DD-WRT config reference for my WRT1900ACS_v1 (not vanilla, not overly complex): mostly wired devices ~75, wireless using 5GHz-AC Only & 2.4GHz-Mixed both @ 20MHz width non overlapping channels (also have 2 APs in house) w/ ~20 clients, IPv6 on, OpenVPN server + segmented network, DHCP reservations for all known devices, access rules (internet block security cameras), port forwards, no QOS, firewall rules (OpenVPN & Guest), Guest 2.4GHz wifi segmented network
I don't know why, but any build I run of DD-WRT just has very buggy wifi on my WRT1200ac. As soon as I boot into Linksys stock partition everything works fine.
Even on this latest build, my mac cannot connect to the 5G network regardless of what settings I use, and the 2.4g is slow and high pings. Yet, when on stock partition everything works just great.

I'm not an extreme tester for wireless but here's some info from my setup. I have my WRT settings pretty fixed and I have two other wired Access Points on each end of my house with non-overlapping channels. I keep width down to prevent overlap. I get close to 80Mbps down on my 5GHz AC from my iphone with this setting (I have tried VHT80 with much faster speeds but prefer non-overlap in my config). I use WPA2-Personal AES for all WiFi. I haven't played with advanced settings that I remember - TX Power - 23dBm auth0, 30dBm auth1 - defaults? Screen of my WRT settings in case the settings trigger any thoughts. For me my wireless has been quite stable through the builds.

My only PBR is:
10.0.0.101/32 (works well in the old, reliable firmware from last year)
^

This
it would appear this is just another failure of the new release(s). I don't use PBR but if it worked in your old build your best bet is to revert back to that build and open a trouble ticket and hope the ticket gets addressed. In my case the Authorized Key (ssh authentication) is still broken on the wrt3200, same as the last build and build prior to that.. It's not unusual for dd-wrt updates to paralyze other dd-wrt core features that have worked previously. Another dd-wrt update casualty that comes to mind was DLNA, let’s see how long that takes to get fixed. Good Luck
Is there a stable release for wrt1900ac, or are we stuck with these beta's where most of the features aren't working properly?
take a look at myersw's second post and see if that helps. dd-wrt is always beta, there are no builds ever earmarked "stable" like with other firmwares
