I'd put some effort into working out why the "last firmware" caused problems. If everyone had the same issues, you would read about it here.
Start by telling people what you mean by "the last firmware". Only the version number is a reliable guide. There are various ways that you can get "the latest" when it is no such thing.
A bit more detail about the lost connections might also help. Is that with everything wifi? One device? Connected how?
Just another user with time on their hands.
"best firmware" is also a bit of a simplification.
For the most part, the firmware updates are tested in house and pretty reliable.
the forums help identify those one off issues that crop up due to so many different configuration possibilities.
Its why when users are having issues after an upgrade, we usually recommend a factory reset and reinstall. sometimes the upgrade and old settings can cause issues.
Did you try this?
