VPN Wireguard - Is it possible to choose the default route?
Wednesday
Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.3.3 Build 20251029 Rel.18054
I configured a Wireguard VPN between two ER605 site-to-site devices, but I realized, or at least couldn't find, a way to choose a default route for the ER605 from the branch office to connect to the main office. Since I have two or more internet links, I can't choose which one it will connect to the main office's Wireguard; it simply connects to any of them. I want to choose this because I have latency problems with some links. The only way it uses the link I want for the Wireguard VPN is when I disconnect the WAN from the internet link I don't want it on; then it uses the one I want.

 

 


 
Does anyone know of a way to solve this specifically for WIREGUARD?

  @fabio_brandao1 How are your dual WANs connected? If one of them has latency issues you wish to avoid, why not configure your WANs in Link Backup mode? That way, the more reliable WAN will be your primary, and the less reliable is just a failsafe for when the first one goes down?

Here's an FAQ explaining how to do that. How to Configure Link Backup on Omada Gateway via Omada Controller | Omada Network Support

Thanks for the reply, yes I did that too thinking about that possibility, but incredibly, the router continued to use the backup internet connection! And even in Online Detection, it marked the link as offline (which was expected), but the ER605 continued to use that link that was marked as offline (backup) to connect to the Wireguard main server... really very strange. I will do more tests.

Is there any future update for the Wireguard settings to prioritize a specific internet link?

  @fabio_brandao1 Unfortunately, I don't see any plans in the works for this change to be implemented. If you'd like, you can go ahead and submit that as a suggestion in our Requests and Suggestions module. Suggestions with high vote counts are more likely to be considered for implementations by development. 

Please let me know the results of any further tests!
