Description

It is awesome that this project exists, it is a factor for me looking into what router to buy (microtik vs Ubiquity). Sadly, I cannot seem to find any benchmarks anywhere online for how well this runs on an ER-X, ER-4, ER-Lite, or a older Edge router. For example, on an ER-4 are we talking 10 Mbps with 512 Byte packets, 100 Mbps via fast.com without mentioning packet size, etc? Even an idea of hundreds vs tens of Mbps is still very helpful.

Research direction
The issue requests adding performance benchmarks to the README of the WireGuard for Ubiquiti repo. To proceed, first check if any existing benchmarks or test results are available in the repo or linked issues. Then, consider reaching out to maintainers for clarification on which specific devices and packet sizes to test. The deliverable would be a set of benchmark numbers (e.g., throughput in Mbps) for common Ubiquiti routers (ER X, ER 4, ER Lite) with typical packet sizes. No code changes are needed, only modifications to the README file.
