looks like the wifi connection bug is fixed for now, vpn with vpn fusion is now working(thanks for openssl update)

but the ui is still horrible slow over wifi and lan (fresh install with factory recovery and no backup upload)

VPN Fusion DOESN'T work for me. NordVPN.

Hello the official firmware on the ASUS support site is still 384.32799.
Will there be an official release or this 384.45149 is the latest.

The official NL GT-AC5300 support page is now hosting the latest official firmware version, which is 384.45149 (see link below). Possible the NL site was just a bit slow rolling out the update. Apologies.

My router cannot sync NTP server... How can I set it manually? If there is a way?

VPN Fusion still causing crashes on my router and GUI after trying to add remove connect and disconnect VPN servers/Clients.

Sent feedback with logs already, hopefully they will have another beta that fixes this issue

and it have some performance hit when press apply, it needs 5 seconds only initiate applying settings.

Update:
Multiple VPN doesn't work after the crash even after restart, only can use 1 of it, gonna revert back to the beta version for VPN usage, this release is not stable at all for VPN

I cant revert the old firmware using firmware updater, will try firmware restoration tool tomorrow

VPN is broken again, I can connect but Client connection is not routed to the VPN even though selected and activated.

I am a newbie to VPNs and I have tried factory resetting the router multiple times and loading the new firmware version 45149 and I still have the same issue as you do. The GUI is crashing and is very very slow. As soon as I activate an Express VPN connection I am not able to access the internet.

well, it seems you gotta go back to the previous firmware to get it working again, so far only minor hiccups i have with the beta firmware.
