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.

Wireguard on OpenWRT is pretty much set it and forget it.

I have a GL.iNET Flint 6 router running OpenWRT with multiple WG interfaces, both client and server. The client tunnels reconnect automatically and it just works. A Pi 4 in one location is set to reboot every night and the WG tunnel reconnects every time. An older router running OpenWRT is just as reliable.
