Wireguard, particularly.
Except if you don't have a premium router with high-end CPU you will have minimal bandwith.
1Gbps down but 30 Mbps up seems reasonable.
My Mikrotik hEX can max out that 30 Mbps without any trouble.

Do you have this device, and if so, what's the peak bandwidth you are able to achieve over wifi?
More important to me, how stable is it? My WRT3200ACM has good peak bandwidth, but it can't deal with interference of other routers and needs to be rebooted frequently.
0.01 load doing 300/300 with SQM.

I do as well but have a few complaints ;) glinet ship their own builds of a forked openwrt (most based on 19.x) containing proprietary patches and binaries. I got a handful of their most recent devices as of last year and all of those are officially still stuck on an ancient 19.x with several security issues that are fixed in upstream but don't make it down. Got the GL-MT1300 working with a self-built open-source Ope…
> glinet ship their own builds of a forked openwrt Imma let you finish, but you've always been able to install vanilla OpenWrt on GL.iNet devices. I've been doing this for years across most models. Actually there are only a couple of recent GL.iNet routers that I don't own.
This is a pretty significant release - it marks the end of iptables in the main distribution; the OpenWrt-specific translation layer (previously firewall3, now firewall4) for netfilter-related configuration now targets nftables. Also, yet more devices have made the switch from swconfig to DSA for configuring Ethernet switches. I've been using 22.03 release candidates on all my networking gear (router, switch, access…
If you don't do anything out of the ordinary with your router is there any benefit to this over for example, the Netgear or tplink firmware?

Tangential but on the topic of IP routers - recently my EdgeRouter X died. During autopsy, heat deformations were found on its Flash right next to an inductor for input DC-DC circuit. So, naturally I hopped onto a train and bought a used NEC UNIVERGE IX2105 to replace with; a compact, fan-less, half A4 sized sheet metal pizza box with blue accent on matte white. Functionally a Cisco ISR 892J or 1941, physically small…
I do love OpenWrt but the upgrade experience is still a pain because user-installed packages need to be reinstalled manually. More so if your WAN connection relies on these packages (USB modems), then you have to either pre-download them or build a custom image.
There is a VERY elegant solution to this problem, called "attended sysupgrade", that is not as widely known as it should be. It's probably best explained in a video on what may be the best youtube channel on OpenWrt-related things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFTPA6GkJjg Or, if you prefer textual information: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/attended.sy... (OpenWrt's infra is kinda slow today for…
I hoped this would fix the squashfs corruption[1][2][3] on the mt7621, but it doesn't seem so. It looks like I'll have to keep playing russian roulette on every boot for another two years, at least.

What's the best router to put this on in 2022?
Really enjoy OpenWrt. One complaint/suggestion is they really need official Ansible support or some better way at automating deployments. I was able to create something myself for the time being but having official support would make things so much better.
There have been efforts in that direction: - https://github.com/gekmihesg/ansible-openwrt - https://github.com/NN708/ansible-openwrt and even - https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/communit... Are they not sufficient?
