You can just set up a one router as wireguard server and another as client. I don’t see any special requirements.

Dear @alzhao ,
Which router would you suggest to use it in home as VPN server? Cheap, affordable and the best. Thanks

MT300N-V2 is OK. It can provide 40-50Mbps wireguard speed so enough for you to use when you travel.

Actually I’d like to do another way. Put MT300N-V3 at home and work as server. Then carry AR750S as vpn client.

The reason is, when traveling, a dual band router works much better.

When using as vpn server, you don’t need the WiFi at all. So MT300N-V2 is enough.

Just remember to change LAN IP of at least one router to others eg 192.168.10.1. By default both router use 192.168.8.1 and could cause problems.
