I uploaded the sysupgrade file and connected to the router. It gave me an internet connection for around 30 sec (It happened the first time I booted openwrt) through ethernet and it does not work again.
should I flash the stock firmware and try to install openwrt again ?
btw, it is the global version
root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# cat network

I used the custom pxe server and flashed the global version of the stock firmware on windows 10 and used kali linux with openwrt invasion to flash openwrt 21.02.2 (I verified the sha256sum).

I think I have an internet connection because I can ping 1.1.1.1 and use the LuCI interface and ping openwrt (I did not change the ip to 192.168.2.1)
PING openwrt.org (139.59.209.225): 56 data bytes

--- openwrt.org ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 20% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 147.115/163.300/186.429 ms
Apart from LAN IP address, and high ping times to openwrt.org, the LuCI image looks OK to me.
The /etc/config/network is missing MAC addresses for WAN and LAN interfaces.
Update
I just flashed 21.02.1 onto a R4AG and the file contents is same as yours. No MAC address definitions for LAN or WAN interfaces. I don't know if this is considered normal for a DSA device.

fwiw, I loaded snapshot for HH5a which uses DSA, and I see these extra lines for the LAN interface

No I would not use snapshot at this time unless you wish to fix a problem. (HH5a 21.02 does not use DSA, which is why I had to install snapshot which uses DSA)
Power off and on the R4AG and just check the MAC addresses reported in LuCI remain unchanged between reboots.
If the MAC addresses were changing, surely other R4AG users would have reported it as a bug?
It is possible those sections defining MAC addresses are not required for MT76 devices, such as the R4AG? I do not know for sure.
edit - I changed the ip to 192.168.2.1 and it seems to be working but when I type (192.168.1.1) the url changes to a openwrt link. is there any way to stop it ?
(I want the ip to access my isp router because I can't change the ip in that router)
I'm not sure if it is significant, but your 21.02.2 config differs from my 21.02.1 openwrt default. Specifically:
ie. 'bridge' is enabled ?

Do you witness same problem when using another device such as a phone?
After the edit, I rebooted the router and I could not connect to the router (Both lan and 5G).
Even using the reset button on the router did nothing. (There was no dynamic ip when I ran arp -a and I could not acces the gui)
It was there by default.
Btw, the internet connection status led blinks randomly which normally means that there is internet.
