I did delete everything except the "wallet" folder and added all the nodes listed in post above and after many hours it finally synced (had to restart the client several times).

This has worked for me whenever 'blockchain stuck'.

Try quit, delete the 'peers.leveldb' folder and restart.

OK, I have that, but it is still staying at block 1792783  (fluctuating between 6 and 16 network connections).

Haven't yet tracked down why some people get stuck with recent versions, but for now it might be easiest to try going into your client data directory at  "C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Roaming/BitShares" and delete everything EXCEPT for the "wallets" folder, and then see if it syncs from scratch after that.

Yes, you need a stable LAN and a good number of nodes.

Every time I tried to sync via WLAN a new version => fail, for whatever reason. Wire connection always worked well.
If the chain is synced, switching back to WLAN => no issues.

how did you uninstall? Did you clear out the folder in appdata too?

[onceuponatime]

I was unable to log in to v0.6.2 so I uninstalled and then reinstalled v0.5.3 and imported my wallet. I then downloaded v0.6.2 and it would start syncing but then freeze. I would restart it and it would sync some more before freezing again. Restart and it would sync some more before freezing. One more time and I got it synced up to block  1792783 where it stays even though it is not frozen and has 12 network connections.

I have now tried restarting it 3 times, but it stays at block 1792783 (19 days ago) despite having many network connections.

Any advice?
