Perhaps your network is unstable.
Most people can't run Tor relays a home, their home router doesn't handle the load.

That's the median bandwidth authority, it has nothing to do with the Stable flag.

It just seems like you'd need to have a wifi network and computer that basically never fail to have the stable flag.

Most relay operators run their relays in data centres.
