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.

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.

same here, after adding a few vpn server (hide.me and ipred) and try to connect, the gui is slower as slow and the router crash.
logs sent

this site still dont show all devices and it looks like that the ui is multiple reload in background

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

you can go in Administration menu and than System, there you can set manuell a ntp server

Hello there Stewart@Asus

sorry if I seem to be on a rant, but I've had this router since april-2018, and I'm not able to use it. Ask MasterC@SUS... he tried to help many times without success.

- after upgrading I did get to the gui, but it was very slow.
- Clients wont connect over wifi.
-when on ethernet, client will only get a ipv6 ip at the moment it connects... a ipv4 takes a long while... after I get the ipv4 ip on ethernet, I can enter the gui, but super slow gui
-tried to provided feedback using the feedback tool, but router crashed.


its very sad that essentially since launch, customers have been acting as Quality Assurance for Asus... the experience has been, sorry to be truthful here, total crap.

thanks
Felipe

My setup:
GT-AC5300 main AiMesh node
RT-AC5300 remote node

After flashing the GT, still could not see the remote node, it could not detect it however it did see it as a connected wireless device (this changed with the FW).

Connected from the GT (any ethernet port) to the RT (use the WAN port) and rebooted.

After 20 mins, the RT is showing as a remote node available.

AiMesh connection ran on the GT without issue (remained connected wired)

Removed wired connection and connection resumed wirelessly. Note the RT is 3 ft from the GT.

Moved the RT to its home, took approx 5 mins to reconnect.

So far, 10 mins into the process, AiMesh 'appears' to be functioning again.

If anybody else has this setup, AiMesh seems to take a VERY long time to detect. I hope this glitch and the others will be fixed very soon so the feature list of the GT can be fully enjoyed.

Good luck all!
