I'm going to upgrade the router to DD-WRT and was wondering if anyone has direct experience with it. In particular are there any DD-WRT versions that work particular well or poorly with this router? If it was your router, which version would you install?
In my experience, D-Link routers run pretty well on the beta builds. I have a D-Link DIR-859 A3 and i found that build 03-20-2018-r35452 is pretty stable.

I would suggest using something from 2018, I am currently running 35681 on my 825 B1. See the link in my signature.

Thanks everyone for your advice. This is an upgrade for a "production" router serving/protecting an office. I'd previously upgraded a Linksys router and the advice I got for that was somewhat different (stay away from the most recent releases - stick to a particular one from late last year).
In 35681, webupdate has been disabled by Brainslayer.
You will have to update via tftp or command line.
So from that specific version, the webupdate was disabled? Is that true?
no, its just broken, or was. my router that was affected is working again on the current build. it was just one's opinion cause it wasnt working for a while (aka broken, like many parts of the firmware for years) _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)
