3.18.26, which is what CC.1 is going to be I'm guessing.

All right, then I should be more than looking forward to this cc.1.....for some reason, I would like to stay at 3.18.x rather than 4.1.x and hopefully the guest wifi issue could be fixed this time. thx for your information.

vcool! 
Kernel 4.4 with nand patch is the most stable so far

Actually CC.1 will most likely be on 4.4.

On the WRT1900AC V1 it looks like once the kernel goes over 4mb in size u-boot fails to load it:
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 02000000 ...

Does anyone know how to update u-boot on the Linksys WRT routers?

The OpenWRT team is a bit more out there on the risk curve than I expected for a stable branch.
I'm a bit curious at the reasoning -- what does 4.4 bring for CC over 3.18? Is it just that a lot of the features that are being backported from trunk (more than I expected actually) have more testing with that branch?
CC.1 is shaping up to be a pretty nice update from CC. All the effort bringing this together is much appreciated.

What's your boot command? My first guess would be this:
root@wrt1900ac:~# fw_printenv linksys_nandboot
linksys_nandboot=nand read $default_load_addr $pri_kern_addr $pri_kern_size; setenv bootargs $console $default_mtdparts root=/dev/mtdblock5 ro rootfstype=$fs_type init=/sbin/init; bootm $default_load_addr;
root@wrt1900ac:~# fw_printenv pri_kern_size
pri_kern_size=0x400000
root@wrt1900ac:~# which is 4MB/4194304 bytes.
I have a 33MB initramfs uImage that loads OK, so u-boot seems to be able to handle it.
Very stable for me:

**EDIT**
Just as a test, a few weeks back, I ran the Stock Image, and at least with the devices I have, didn't work as well as OpenWrt Wifi driver.
Yes, my streaming devices do work properly with stock, but over-all performance is better with OpenWrt.
Improvement is the wrong word, it's not working, so it needs to be fixed. (2 ssids on one radio crashes).
I do not experience any problems any more since the latest builds, while it always happened here.
Same, here, 2 SSIDs on 2.4 GHz and 2 as well on 5GHz. 10 days uptime, no crash, and a lot of Wifi activity.
All on latest trunk (r48639) on a WRT1200.
Mind you, the second SSids, on both radios, are guest SSIDs that rarely get used, (blocked by FW), but they're always on, from a layer 1 & 2 perspective.
@trustno1foxm, can you post your
- /etc/config/wireless
- /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf
- /var/run/hostapd-phy1.conf
over here (with sensitive stuff removed), so we may have a look ?
I apologize if this is a stupid question - after reading / searching for a long time in this and other threads, I am still not sure if my problem is going to be solved by CC.1.
I have a WRT1900ACS, and no matter if I am using 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz (or both) - with only 1 SSID on each frequency as of now - my WiFi only works for 1-3 hours, then it´s either dead or at least unusably slow.
I tried trunk (r48639) and the latest Kaloz build (from 27.12.2015), with the same result.
Should I just wait for CC.1, or try to debug the problem further?
Sorry for my ignorance, I just wasn´t able to pinpoint this problem to one specific issue or a certain release. There is a *lot* information here, but while some people report similar problems, for others it seems to just work. Any pointers are really appreciated. Thanks!
K.
*edit* clarified that I use different SSIDs on both frequencies

I opened a issue case & output is here:

Coming up on 50 days uptime. No crashes, hicups, or slowdowns so far...

You may want to read the first post in this forum and try the build that Arokh puts together.
Been running his image for months on my WRT1900ACv2 and it is working very well.

thx! I know that image, but there is so much bloatware onboard 
I want a clean image.

I cant find this kmod-video-uvc...

Thanks again.
Its more stable but still have some NAND Timeout at bootup (occurs 1 in 5 times), does someone know why this is happening ? Is it kernel-version related (im in 4.4.3-rc5) ?

any word on this? when it will be fixed?

Looks like buildbot is running again. It is being tweaked from svn to git etc., and so far no builds have been completed. If everything goes ok, you could maybe expect builds in 1-2 days. (mvebu platform is still waiting in the queue)

Super!
I was searching on this forum but couldn't find anything about my problem. I'm using OpenWRT on many platforms but I have a strange one on WRT1900ac v1 router. It is with reboot, when I perform reboot, either through command line or Luci, then the router hangs and I need to power cycle it. Does anybody else has this problem? I'm using the latest final firmware OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05 / LuCI (git-15.248.30277-3836b45) with kernel 3.18.20.
Thanks.

I have a WRT1200AC router and have these problems every now and then, it is related to the much mentioned NAND issue (which I do not really understand what it exactly is though). I also have seen it happen more with external storage attached than without.

Yes, 15.05 is known to to hang due to a wifi bug. If you need reliability you can try the latest trunk image which is known to be much more reliable that CC.
