Is it stable? The dlink i have loses connectivity randomly and redirects me to advare sites. I think it has been hacked. Can the same happen with this router?

I'm using it 24*7 with BSNL 512 kbps internet (can't call it broadband right 
)
Only time it remains swithched off is when there is a powercut. As for the stability, it depends on the telephone line wiring. If the wiring is broken or damaged at random points, no router/modem would be stable enough.

*aralabs.com/blog/2015/03/25/ad-fraud-malware-hijacks-router-dns-injects-ads-via-google-analytics/ i think something like this has happened in my router. I formatted it but after a few days the issue resurfaced. I want a router which is safe from such attacks.

No such thing has happened with me yet and hopefully it never does.

if you keep using default username/password for modem/router not even the best model in the world would be able to help you.also use a good free AV like avira or 360 total security all the time.

my routers default username/password still same... but I enabled "Wireless MAC Filtering", "DHCP Clients List", "Local Management" (routers web page, to perform Administrator tasks), "Bandwidth Control"... all mentioned things are enabled...
how many chances are there that someone will hack my wifi??? but my wifi password is about 25 characters long... how many chances???
depends on your luck but you should be fine,still it doesn't hurt to add 2-3 random characters to your default username/password.

Well i have a different password than default one but it is quite easy i guess 6 digit numeric. And i have windows defender installed on my pc do i need another antivirus?
definitely yes.windows defender is pretty much useless in terms of providing proactive security.
