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.
Can you expand on that, I’ve been considering making a “portable network in a briefcase” situation, with a small router and a kodi box with just HDMI, Power, and Network coming out (for when the family travels; the kids connect to the same SSID and are on the home network by default). I hadn’t started researching yet, but I am wondering if these support using Wifi as the WAN link, even with openWRT firmware? For example, if we’re in a hotel, can I join this to hotel wifi with a captive portal, have it tunnel home, then the kids join it like a hotspot? I prefer openWRT and not vendor firmware because I trust patching the firmware more than I trust a vendor to upkeep their maintenance.

They do.
My setup is:
2 power adapters (the slate 7 came with 4 travel adapters. The other is for my chrecast
A chromecast + remote
A Slate 7 router
Internet can be supplied through Wifi as a repeater, as a MitM-AP and can also spoof the mac through which you can login into the captive-portal.
The Mudi7 can do all that + cellular with 2 SIMs (or 1 SIM + 1 eSIM)
