Wifi Disconnects randomly after wireguard

Hello,

Recently after installing wireguard it seems my wifi randomly disconnects and reconnects again either after a few minutes or after manually restarting the radio. Wired remains completely unaffected by this.

Are you receiving any errors on those devices (e.g. "No Internet") - or just connection loss?

Lastly, I noticed your Wiregard interface wg0 has no IP address configured. This may be the cause of your issue, depending on the peer configuration and routing.

Since wg0 has no IP, not sure now this works.

Just a straight up connection loss, the wireless tab in openwrt shows that the radio is not transmitting.

See what hostapd log is saying about disconnect reasons.
