That didn't change anything, but I looked through the logs, and noticed a couple things. There's a daemon.warn from dnsmasq that says "warning: interface oet1 does not currently exist", and this gets sent twice. I also noticed it errored out checking the time server, but it fell back to direct IP access, and it succeeded. So I disabled the tunnel, and tried connecting to a direct IP address, and it worked. So I think dnsmasq waits to get DNS until interface oet1 exists, but it just stops trying before oet1 exists. Which means just means no DNS.

Not sure how to fix this.

Under DNSMasq Additional options add:
server=/your-domain/9.9.9.9

instead of your-domain add the domain name of the WireGuard server

You can check everything with:
grep -iE 'oet|wireguard|dnsmasq|eop' /var/log/messages

I also have this and it works for me so that is normal:
Jan 1 01:00:16.774 EA6900 daemon.warn dnsmasq[1008]: warning: interface oet5 does not currently exist

So that got the VPN to work, but something is now majorly broken with WiFi and/or DHCP. After a minute after boot, I stop getting internet on 5GHz, and I very intermittently get internet on 2.4GHz. Syslog is spammed with DHCP related stuff, which I think is WiFi dropping out because the 5GHz signal becomes one bar instead of the 5 it should be. I noticed in the Wireguard guide, DNS Servers via Tunnel is blank, so I decided to try doing that instead, and that also worked, but also gave the same issue. I don't know what's wrong here. I'm going to update firmware and reset nvram and try again I guess.

Unfortunately the builds for your router are still a work in progress.
Anyway glad your wireguard problem is solved
