Setup: These steps were performed OpenWRT 23.04.1.
Context: The goal of that manual is to create wireless SSID that will be connected to the Wireguard network as a client. Helpful link - that guide will create a Wireguard interface with kill switch (https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/wireguard/extras#kill_switch) In other words, that guide will help you create a deidated wireless SSID that will be connected directly to the wireguard.

A short preamble. If you don't want to read how i've bricked my router go to the next chapter "Debricking".
I've bought a Xiaomi 4c router on my trip so I can make it work in hotspot mode.

| # Clean-up Xiaomi smartphone without rooting: | |

| # 2) You have to activate developer options, next activate usb debugging | |
| # 3) Comment out or delete lines with packages, if you really need them | |
| # 4) Optional: I hightly recommed to activate OEM unlocking feature in developer options. | |
| # It doesn't unlock you device immediately, but in case of breaking you phone | |
