Any thoughts on improving speeds on the WireGuard client? My home router gets 200+ and destination router gets 200+ but only getting about 20 using the client?

I am using MT3000 and have the error that the EC25-qmi USB is plugged in but the router does not recognize it. Is there any way to use it?

Hi, is it possible to support multiple wireguard clients ? like 2-3 at same time and forwarding traffic depends on the device (based on MAC adress or IP device )

Does that mean that we don't need to use site-to-site vpn connection. Can we directly connect to a 3rd party VPN provider's server (like surfshark), from my MT3000 router and will that do the same job as a physical VPN server setup configured using Flint2 router?

I have wireguard on a pfsense router & my config works on my phone fine & many other devices no issue, part tunnel for use of plex media server or whatever i want access to. I import the same config to this router with the latest firmware it loses internet, it usually connects to my services then it starts going down and losing everything. I've spent a ton of time on this and getting nowhere. The config is fine for devices but why not in my Beryl AX router. My use is either wifi or usb tethering from my phone to the router then wireguard back home so services are available. I'm thinking ports, going to spend more time today to look in to, i'm no noob but this is doing my head in.
