Help setting up travel router.

Technical Support for Routers

Hi Guys! I just recently bought 2 GL Inet routers which is the opal (server) and the beryl AX (Client). I am having some trouble connecting to my client even though I already set-up the port forwarding in my ISP (I'm using wireguard).

my Beryl AX is stuck on **"the client is starting. please wait.." (I am connected to both different networks). would you guys know any other possible reason why it stuck?

there is a log in my Beryl saying:

Please check How to troubleshoot WireGuard

Iā€™m new to GL routers, but my first check would be to test if a remote pc or laptop could connect to WireGuard server on the home router. If it has issues, then your travel router has no chance of working. Once you confirm that the WireGuard vpn can connect, move on to the travel router.

To do this, download the WireGuard configuration file and install the WG client on a pc.
