I havent tried wireguard.. the GL boards look neat.. I have seen them
before.. typically we chose the MT because of the POE and many of our
customers want us to connect remote workers to their existing site firewalls..
(often cisco ASA).. so its easy to set up IPSEC , or L2TP clients (for those
without static IP for the remote worker).. I have a Mobile system running in
my Mobile DEVLab that runs an MT with an ATT SIM card and GPS right in it..
MT isnt the Best on the market but they have been pretty solid for us over the
yeard..
the MT boards are mainly MIPS variants until you get into the bigger stuff
which isnt cost effective compared to other X86 boxes (like APU boards) or even
ARM like the raspberry PI.

I think the attraction of MikroTik is that it supports PoE, so you can plug in
a hard phone with just a ethernet cable and no extra power supply required. I
wish there was a x86 architecture board that delivered PoE out on the ethernet
ports (looks like MikroTik is not x86). It would be a great platform for
AstLinux.

Hey Christopher,
Have you tried the GL-iNet GL-MT300N-V2 (mango) Wireless Router/VPN, $20.49 USD.
https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt300n-v2/
It supports WireGuard. An alternative to the MikroTik.
