I would, based on reading all of the main recent threads on this, use only 11650 on this router. It appears that people who used that build and flashed very carefully following the instructions, have not had problems. I would not move to a newer build without a lot of additional information. _________________ Warning: I'm "out of my element!"

Agreed...check the wiki for installing on this unit...read the recommended threads at the top of the install notes regarding recent install problems...the conclusion was to load 11650...and so...the install process was created/updated.

i have a WL-500W and 11296 is still pretty solid for me.
That build has also appeared to have been successful for many....it's the only other one I would consider.
Builds other than 11650 might work fine, but there has been limited feedback on how successful they are, so 11650 is still the best choice and I would not suggest any newer build.
I have used this router for a while. Upgrade from the original ASUS firmware to 11794 now.
So far no problem. Still playing around for the Samba and NAS to work.
I think what you need to read the wiki and tutorial in more details to get through on various settings.
well I just tried the BrainSlayer-preSP2 3/31/09 on my router and got myself another de-bricking situation. I guess we should be using the EKO builds with this router and not the BrianSlayer builds
