This mirrors my anecdata on consumer (<$150) wifi router hardware. I recently upgraded my home router specifically for wireguard and it's been 5x faster than openvpn.

More or less my experience as well. I run Mikrotiks usually, but also on openwrt consumer hardware it's at least 3-4x more throughput than OpenVPN.

Very useful for low-end routers, travel routers and similar.

Also initial connection time is basically instant.
