Wireguard client/tunnel capable wifi routers? (lemmy.world)

Looking for feedback on Wireguard capable wifi routers that keep a persistent link from the router to an endpoint. A lot of what I see advertised as "Wireguard Supported" sets up a server and not a client.

The GL.iNET routers seem to do it, anyone with experience with these? https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/interface_guide/wireguard_client/

Bonus for being able to push a wireguard client config to the device via API/cli.

I bought a Mikrotik recently and it was terribly unstable. It would simply stop routing after 3 days on a test network with 1 device. Had to reboot it to get it to work again - no indication it had puked.

No strange config, all default other than a few IP settings.

Microtik needs time to mature.

Curious which MikroTik you had. I’ve been running them for years and absolutely rock solid. Right now a HEX-S refresh and it’s awesome and cheap.

It is complex to configure properly because it’s so powerful though. ChatGPT is great for debugging configs.
