High-severity vulnerabilities affect a wide range of Asus router models
Any way to tell if these issues affect the community-developed, third-party "Merlin" firmwares?

Is this possible with Wireguard/oVPN?
I think you need VPN director from Asuswrt Merlin https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/VPN-Director

Asus Router Reviews
Not an answer, but I have the AC5300 and like it. And if you're not aware, there's open source firmware for a lot of the Asus routers here. I use it and once again seems fine. Disclaimer, I'm not a power user, so probably can't answer anything more specific about VPN setup on the router itself, but from my understanding it is possible.

ASUS Merlin and VPN Director - Route LAN traffic through WG site-to-site VPN and WAN traffic through OVPN client
However, I am struggling with how to route the site-to-site client's WAN traffic through its own OVPN client connection. If I set up a rule routing all client subnet traffic through the OVPN connection, then the Wireguard rule never gets processed, because all OVPN rules are processed before any Wireguard rules.

OpenVPN Modem/Router
Many (all?) of the ASUS routers supported by the Merlin firmware https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/ have OpenVPN built-in. If you have an ISP-provide modem/router, you may be able to put it in transparent bridge mode.

Looking To Buy A New Router
However, it looks like only the older model is on sale. Go for the Asus and do research if you want Merlin or not.

Verizon fios
If you are somewhat good with computers, get an Asus router with a broadcom chipset that can run Merlin WRT. They are rock solid and feature packed (you can even adjust the wireless power level, since you're having wifi issues). There's a list of supported routers here: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Supported-Devices
- First time testing with 2.5g adapter
- ASUS Mesh Issues

Tutorial on how to increase your ping artificially the "right" way
From what i can find googling around i can see the RT-AX82U is supported by the AsusWRT Merlin firmware which is an alternative to the original router's firmware. Although the firmware for your particular router is not on the main page i did manage to find a fork of the firmware which specifies your model as supported: https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases . That way you can access it from SSH and use the linux commands to add latency. Keep in mind that it depends on the processor your Router uses, it requires MIPS architecture which most likely your Router has :-)

Looking to upgrade Asus WiFi with either Ubiquity or Omada. What are the pros & cons of Ubiquity?
Have you tried any alternative firmware for your XT8? I'd try something like https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng before switching away from the XT8.

ASUS router firmware crashing
I don't see it listed there as either the AXE6600 or AXE95Q, but it is supported by the GNUton Merlin firmware: https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases/tag/388.1_0-gnuton1
