So, I'm trying to download the latest version of DD-WRT to upgrade the firmware on my WRT1900ACSv2 and I can't remember where to find it. I know the router database is woefully obsolete and for some reason nobody seems to find the time to make a simple adjustment to the website to redirect that link to the forum page for the downloads instead of the terribly outdated router database. I've looked around on the forum and I cannot find where to download the latest stable version of DD-WRT.

Can someone please provide a link for me? Thank you.

EDIT: Alright, after looking through my own old posts on this forum, I have realized (again) that the latest builds are all in their own "new build" threads. That answers that question.

So my question now is this: which version is currently the most stable and bug free?

Thanks.

I'm trying to edit my post again but for some reason the forum keeps hanging and will not permit me to do so.

FYI, I'm currently running DD-WRT v3.0-r51506

See the forum guidelines, the first thread in the first forum.

Must read with many helpful tips, i.a. where and what to download.

Alright, so I basically just need to read the release threads to determine which ones are stable.

So my latest question is what version is it safe to update to from the version I'm running? Is it safe to update to the latest from 51506? Is there a series of previous version I should update to first?

Yes that should be safe to do.

If you upgrade from a very old build say more than 2 years old a reset to defaults after upgrade and putting in settings manually is recommended.

If you experience problems after upgrading resetting and setup manually is also the thing to do. But if the router runs fine no reset is necessary.
