How to add 2 WAX630E AP's to my Network
I have the CR1000A Router with 1 gig fios internet service. I want to use just my two Netgear Access Points this way I can have seamless transitions between the access points (1 upstairs and 1 downstairs). Do I need to put my Route in "bridge mode"? What needs to be done to make this work?

Not at all, the router does continue doing the NAT for your LAN IP subnet.
Connect both WAX630E to your router LAN, configure the same SSID, same security (WPA2-PSK due to limitations of WPA3!). This is all you have to do.
Granted, no WPA2 on the 6 GHz band - so you need to deploy a dedicated network there.
