It shows AX1800 on the bottom.

AX1800 is not a Netgear model number. Look on the nameplate for the words "Model Number", they should be followed by something that may start with R.
Did you attempt the setup process using a mobile device?
If yes, that is why you are in the situation you describe.
Once you find your model number, you can go to the Downloads section at the top of this page and download the manual. It will provide information on performing the setup process using a web browser and a computer.
