In the UI coming from 4.2.3 r5
it offered an update to 4.4.5
Applying it from the GUI then fails.
This is not reflected in GL.iNet download center

Confirming same 4.4.5 upgrade alert on Beryl AX MT-3000, listed on download centre as stable release, and alerts as ‘not official released firmware’ on upgrade attempt.
A version jump from 4.2.3 to 4.4.5 as ‘stable’ is somewhat suspicious to me, as is release date of 11 August 2023 and notice 24 August 2023, but I do not have insider knowledge if this is a valid concern.
Can I please ask forum mods or firmware devs in the community to confirm if:
a) 4.4.5 firmware has a release signing issue that is known, will be resolved, and is safe for install,
or,
b) 4.4.5 firmware is of unknown or unconfirmed origin, and if so, the security risk and actions advised.
I just installed the 4.4.5 build from download centre, and it worked (with not official released firmware warning again).
I will now downgrade to 4.2.3 until authenticity and security is confirmed.
If this topic is in another post thread I have missed, please feel free to link. Thank you @mfld for your original post.
The uploaded file is corrupted and the signature check fails. It will be corrected soon。

Works now, just did it on my Slate AX.
Hello, I also have updated my Slate AX without issues.
Best regards.
upgraded slateax, now this:

I installed this update and have spent the past few hours pulling my hair out from the endless errors it created. Upon installation I was locked out of wifi even with the correct password, had to physical reset several times and lost over 400 custom VPN configs 
I also have these messages about no valid architecture, even if package installation succeeded:
Also, what is this package?
Hello, I have the same issue:
Regards.
Please ignore the update of this Package, and operate the Refresh button in the upper right corner of the Plug-ins page, and this problem will be fixed naturally.

Initially it was 4.4.5-0811-1691742281 that was available first. Yesterday it had changed to 4.4.5-0811-1691754744 and now we are back to 4.4.5-0811-1691754744 on the download page (albeit with a different SHA256 than the one from a couple of days back). What is going on here and can some one please make their minds up??!! Three different versions of the so called “stable version” on 3 different days!

Not only that…
The beta firmware for Slate AX on the download page (openwrt-axt1800-4.2.3-0801-1690857361.tar) is not a beta firmware but a snapshot one, and it’s completely broken (it even reset wifi password with the old “goodlife” one) and it’s there from days…

I really think that someone from development has completely lost the plot.

Hello everyone,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to bring to your attention an issue I encountered when updating my Gl-Internet firmware to version 4.4.5. I hope this report can help others who might be experiencing a similar problem.
Problem Description:
As soon as I installed Gl-Internet firmware version 4.4.5 on my AX1800 Flint router, I encountered a critical issue with my broadband connection. Specifically, when using a PPPoE connection with the Octaplus Fiber provider, I received the following error message: “The interface is connected but the Internet cannot be reached.” This effectively blocked my broadband connection.
Steps Taken:
To isolate the issue, I reverted back to the previous firmware version, and my broadband connection returned to normal, indicating that the problem was indeed linked to the 4.4.5 update. I then reinstalled the latest firmware (4.4.5), and the broadband connection issue reoccurred, confirming the firmware as the root cause.
Recommendation:
I kindly request that the Gl-Internet team investigate this issue and consider removing firmware version 4.4.5 from the stable version repository until this critical broadband connection problem is resolved. It appears that this update is not compatible with PPPoE connections from the Octaplus Fiber provider, and it could potentially impact other users as well.
Additional Information:
- Router Model: AX1800 Flint
- Internet Connection Type: PPPoE
- Internet Service Provider: Octaplus Fiber
- Previous Firmware 4.2.3
- Faulty Firmware: 4.4.5
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and hope for a speedy resolution. If there are any specific logs or additional information needed to assist in troubleshooting this issue, please let me know, and I’ll be happy to provide them.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Best regards,
