Which version for TP-Link

Hi all
I am a bit confused about which version to use for my TP-Link WR1043ND router, there are all these different stable and experimental versions, should I just use the latest, 1.5.2 I think it is?
My router keeps losing complete internet connectivity every few days and I have to unplug it for it to work again, so I'm hoping Gargoyle will fix this.
Thanks.

I am very happy with 1.5.2, but if you do not need the experimental parts, you should use the stable 1.4.5.
Are you using the stock firmware at the moment?
What hardware version do you have?
There are people who have stability issues with the wireless driver, but it is running perfectly here.

Thanks for the advice.
Yes It has the stock firmware from when I bought it, I checked the TP-Link website and it is the latest version that I have,
Firmware Version: 3.13.4 Build 110429 Rel.36959n
Hardware Version: WR1043ND v1 00000000
I have read various reviews around the web about others having the same problem with losing internet on both the wireless and the lan, but I love my router and don't want to send it back, lol, so I'm hoping Gargoyle can help fix this issue.

Strange hardware version.
I found an enormous difference in stability, going form stock firmware to Gargoyle and to me it has been totally stable, for the last months.

It's from the UK so maybe the hardware versions are different between the U.S. and Europe?
Thanks for the help, I'll install Gargoyle and report back after a few days.

As far as I understand, only Germany should have a special version.
Mine comes from Denmark.

Real hardware version number is on the sticker on the device. The firmware says always same zeros on all hardware versions. Also there are some beta 3.19.3 stock firmware on the russian tp-link support forum but... for me it is unstable like all other stock firmware, and with Gargoyle 20 days uptime by now, on newest development i think

I thought that he had looked on the sticker. Did not think of this.
