Hehe, that last reply in the thread is mine. Yes it _was_ unstable for me running the standard build. That was just an experiment though as I had been running on the mini build "forever". Figured I try the standard build, but after a few hours with weird errors I reverted back to the mini build. As for the 2010 remark, well I don't know why somebody would run a firmware that old, especially if it isn't stable. If I'm not mistaken then the last released -non beta- version is: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2014/12-22-2014-r25697/broadcom/ At least that's what is in my notes, but I'm happy on the beta trail. FWIW, the mini build also doesn't support IPv6 which is exactly why I tried the standard version again. In the past the standard version did no longer fit into the 54GL anymore. At the moment it is not a real issue for me as the 54GL only serves a WiFi guest network, but if IPv6 ever gets adopted ;) it might become one. As I noticed the current size of the standard build download was smaller I ended up trying it again. Didn't work well in my case, but the mini build is good. The router with Shibby that I have here gives a similar experience it great uptime and really only ever gets rebooted when I decide to run a firmware upgrade (or when there's a power outage which is very rare down here).

Out of curiosity, what is your reason to run DD-WRT on a GL? Considering you have Shibby also deployed and are thus presumably familiar with its feature set, is there something in DD-WRT that makes it particularly important to have on the GL?

  Familiarity, curiosity and not even realizing that the firmware from Shibby runs on the GL are some of the reasons. Besides that there's customers running on DD-WRT so it is good to have at least one form of it running inhouse. Those customers are not on the mini nor on a GL, but there it works and in that case cross flashing remote routers is something I'd rather not do.
