Yes, that looks to be the case. My main "service" routers have been unstable since upgrading to 18024 - having previously hit over 90 days uptime between power cuts (I really need to sort out that damn UPS already) it now loses wireless every 2-3 days.

I honestly think OpenWRT and FOSS wireless drivers have reached a stage where they're stable, reliable, and easy enough to use for the mass market now. That, and being completely FOSS means any and every problem can be fixed by yourself without needing anyone else, if you have the knowledge.

dd-wrt is really declining in relevance these days. Some manufacturers are shipping routers with factory firmware based on OpenWRT now.
