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.

    Was there a noticeable disruption between towers? It’s taking resolvd a good 10 seconds to catch up when turning the client on and off. Maybe I should disable cache all-together.

      Alas, I never witnessed the handover happening live, only that my logs from the far end of the tunnel would show that tunnel uptime had reset.

      I imagine there’s a tunable parameter to adjust the WG keep alive, which could help reduce the drop time.
