If I'm not mistaken, spdMerlin defaults to 12 and 42 minutes past the hour for speed tests. Not that the two can't coexist but just thought I'd point this out.

I have both WireGuard and OpenVPN servers running when I'm traveling. I've had a few instances where WireGuard (my preferred tunnel) wouldn't connect but OpenVPN would. Sorta off topic... I've been using the "OpenVPN for Android" app by Arne Schwabe. Thoughts on this app vs the OpenVPN...

Have you tried a different wifi channel? I had a stable 2.4 GHz network on channel 11 for years and recently started having devices disconnecting. I messed around with some settings to no avail and ended up trying channel 1. Once I switched to channel 1 all my disconnects went away. For the...

Try adding -w 4M to the end of your iPerf command. This may improve the results. (similar results can be had with -P 4)

I'd start with this for 2.4 GHz.

I'll just add that those looking into purchasing the GL-MT6000 "Flint 2" for VPN purposes should not upgrade their purchase to the Flint 3 as its VPN performance is slower than the Flint 2. Flint 3: "Enjoy Speeds Up to 680 Mbps on both WireGuard® and OpenVPN-DCO". Many upset users on the...

Just chatted with PIA support and asked about WireGuard config files. The answer was:

As @Tech9 mentioned, you'll need a public IP to run a VPN server on your router. Confirm that you have a public IP before spending time researching the VPN server. If you don't have a public IP there are other methods to accomplish what you are trying to do such as Tailscale.

It's amazing how many times I've come across difficult to read text in commercial software/apps with my assumption being the developer uses dark mode and never tested their software with light mode. I blame SNB forums for teaching me enough "coding" knowledge to recognize this kind of thing. A...

Sorry, I don't have any answers to your questions but will say that I've seen some inquiries regarding PIA WireGuard on a router over at r/PrivateInternetAccess. You may find some helpful information over there.

That did it! Added a rule for inbound to port 3000 which the OpenSpeedTest Server uses and added the 10.6.0.0/24 subnet to scope. Thanks so much for your help.

I did think about the firewall but didn't know which of the many inbound rules I needed to modify. I did modify the "File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In)" rules a while back to access a drive share when away and connecting home via WG. Is there a particular rule that I should try adding the WG...

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look. That said, the issue presents itself even when not using the GL-iNet router. I can connect a computer on the LAN running a WG client to the AX88U (WG server) and still not see any devices on the 192.168.1.X subnet that the AX88U is on. Edit: I did...

The reason was purely to entertain my desire to test WireGuard throughput on local devices and to use a local OpenSpeedTest Server as the testing endpoint. Was thinking there may be a simple solution but seems that's not the case so my desire comes to an end. Thanks for your help!
