You should only have one DHCP server on a network, so sort that out first. If you didn’t change settings on the router, I guarantee it’s running.
Assign each Eero a static IP outside of the DHCP range, or make a reservation on the DHCP server for them with the MAC addresses of each. Then make sure they are in AP mode, and not also NAT’ing traffic. You can decide if you want them serving a separate SSID or not. Now you have a coherent network.
As far as the Wireguard server, you’ll also want to give it a static IP outside the DHCP range, then you need to make a port passthrough in your router’s firewall for the Wireguard UDP port. If that’s not an option, you could put it in DMZ, making sure ONLY the Wireguard port is open.
Thanks this put me on a track to fixing my issues and learning something new. I cleaned up my DHCP, checked my incoming and outgoing ports in the firewall, and everything seems to be working as it is supposed to. The eeros don’t have a “true AP mode” from what I read online, but bridging them and turning off the wireless on the modem worked.

That should sort things out.
