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.

    Sorry, have to dissagree. I use them for years at home and have many of hundreds out with customers big, middle and small. We use many features it offers. Sure, it has itr's quirks just like cisco, fortinet and all others do. But, It's stable and reliable.
