I flashed a v5 that was having the same problem with the micro dd-wrt and it
fixed the problem, the router is now stable for months at a time.

I would flash the router just because, no matter how you end up using it..
dd-wrt is much better than stock firmware.
It does support client bridge but is sorta tricky to get working. When setup
in client bridge you lose the ability to connect to the wireless but
ethernet devices should live happy.
If you have two routers WDS'ed together I believe both ethernet and wireless
will work.
and btw, you only lose wireless on the client brigde, not both routers.
(assuming you are connecting your bridge to an exsisting router.)
