NETGEAR RAX 200 / Orbi
How can I connect these two router together so I can extend my WIFI around my house. I get some dead spots that I need help with. I own both routers.

RAX and Orbi are not wirelessly intermixable. They can work separately.
You could use the RAX has the main host router and configure the Orbi for AP Mode. Vice Versa between them.
It's not recommended to have two routers on the same line.
The RAX can work as a wifi client in bridge mode.
