You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...
Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!

For those switching to Xwrt-Vortex does it mitigate the 2.4ghz band issues? Is it easy to install the new firmware? I am by no means a networking expert, just trying to maintain my home office. Someone technical (built my computer, setup home network) but limited in some ways.
- DjzgfxJan 09, 2018TutorYes and yes it’s really easy.

So how do I go about flashing the new firmware once I download it from the website? Can I do it from my routerlogin.net page?

Flash it like any other firmware. It takes longer to boot up. After that, you can enjoy the stability that this router should have had all along.
